The @Suntimes editorial board published a piece endorsing an advancement of the cutoff date for immigration registry, and establishing a rolling date.
This move would allow millions of undocumented immigrants an opportunity to adjust their status. chicago.suntimes.com/2021/5/11/2242…

The Editorial Board cited our work on registry - you can learn more about immigration registry here: fwd.us/news/immigrati…
Advancing registry date is a commonsense solution to provide immigrants who have lived in the US or a long time an opportunity to secure legal status.

This pathway exists in law already; it's just outdated and unusable by most people today. This change would be very minor in law, but would have huge impact & benefits. It makes sense as permanent policy in our immigration system to prevent growth in undocumented population.
I'm hoping @SenatorDurbin and other immigration policy leaders in Congress will look closely at advancing and modernizing registry as a simple, viable mechanism for legalization and long-term immigration reform.
Simply put, allowing long-term residents to access legal status is a longstanding immigration policy. Registry has existed for nearly a century. It's been around longer than many aspects of the modern immigration system. Congress has acted multiple times to advance the date.
