Bitta Mostofi, commissioner of the Mayor s Office of Immigrant Affairs, released a statement sharing her views on President Joe Biden s U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. The bill envisions a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million undocumented immigrants and emphasizes the integration of immigrants by increasing citizenship, establishing labor protections, and more. We applaud the Biden administration for taking this crucial step and urge Congress to expeditiously pass the U.S. Citizenship Act to bring long overdue relief to our immigrant families and communities, Mostofi said. She also urged New Yorkers to be mindful of immigration related scams, especially when it comes to paperwork. Norwood News
