The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader United States Senate S-230, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader, United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 July 28, 2020 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, and Leader McCarthy: We are writing to urge you to address the example inclusion of immigrant families, workers, taxpayers, and their U.S. children and spouses, from the CARES Act and other COVID-19 recovery packages passed by Congress in the next pandemic relief legislation. Immigrants have been left out of every relief package so far, even though they are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and are risking their health and safety as essential workers during the pandemic. We cannot let immigrants be excluded from relief again. If our nation wants to recover from this economic and public health crisis, we must ensure that everyone is included. It is crucial that the next coronavirus relief package passed out of Congress includes provisions to include immigrant families who have been left out of previous bills. We cannot protect the nation from the virus and its economic impacts if we deny health care and financial relief to a large segment of our communities. Immigrants are essential workers responding to the pandemic in the arenas of public health, agriculture, food preparation and delivery, and cleaning and maintenance. Effective public health responses require attention to all community members, as a pandemic response that excludes any members of our communities will weaken its effectiveness. None of us can be healthy if any one of us is denied access to testing, care, and economic relief. INCLUDE IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR CITIZEN FAMILY MEMBERS IN STIMULUS The CARES Act left out U.S. citizen and immigrant taxpayers who have worked and earned income like any other taxpayers by excluding households whose tax returns include taxpayers or children who file with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). These families include U.S. citizen children and spouses who are also harmed by the COVID-19 crisis. The exclusion of mixed-status families and individual ITIN filers from relief legislation is both deeply unfair and has excluded families hardest hit by this emergency. This unfair exclusion also places a greater burden on immigrant workers or their family members who may need to stay home to protect public health or care for sick family members. To fully address this crisis and the economic hardships that people are enduring, we must provide relief for all who have contributed to the economy and are devastated by this economic downturn.

July 28, 2020 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, and Leader McCarthy: We are writing to urge you to address the example inclusion of immigrant families, workers, taxpayers, and their U.S. children and spouses, from the CARES Act and other COVID-19 recovery packages passed by Congress in the next pandemic relief legislation. Immigrants have been left out of every relief package so far, even though they are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and are risking their health and safety as essential workers during the pandemic. We cannot let immigrants be excluded from relief again. If our nation wants to recover from this economic and public health crisis, we must ensure that everyone is included. It is crucial that the next coronavirus relief package passed out of Congress includes provisions to include immigrant families who have been left out of previous bills. We cannot protect the nation from the virus and its economic impacts if we deny health care and financial relief to a large segment of our communities. Immigrants are essential workers responding to the pandemic in the arenas of public health, agriculture, food preparation and delivery, and cleaning and maintenance. Effective public health responses require attention to all community members, as a pandemic response that excludes any members of our communities will weaken its effectiveness. None of us can be healthy if any one of us is denied access to testing, care, and economic relief. INCLUDE IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR CITIZEN FAMILY MEMBERS IN STIMULUS The CARES Act left out U.S. citizen and immigrant taxpayers who have worked and earned income like any other taxpayers by excluding households whose tax returns include taxpayers or children who file with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). These families include U.S. citizen children and spouses who are also harmed by the COVID-19 crisis. The exclusion of mixed-status families and individual ITIN filers from relief legislation is both deeply unfair and has excluded families hardest hit by this emergency. This unfair exclusion also places a greater burden on immigrant workers or their family members who may need to stay home to protect public health or care for sick family members. To fully address this crisis and the economic hardships that people are enduring, we must provide relief for all who have contributed to the economy and are devastated by this economic downturn.

SOLUTION: Ensure that all persons who file taxes with a Social Security Number or other Taxpayer Identification Number as defined under 26 U.S.C. 6109 receive retroactive Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) under the CARES Act and any stimulus or relief payments in future COVID-19 relief legislation.

ENSURING THAT EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO TESTING AND TREATMENT FOR COVID-19 Full scope federal Medicaid is available only to a certain subset of immigrants who have had a “qualified” immigration status for five years, “humanitarian” immigrants, military/veterans and their families, and in some states, lawfully residing children and/or pregnant women. Many lawfully residing immigrants—including people granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, most Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) during their first five years in that status, survivors of crime granted U visas, people from certain Pacific Island nations, and people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS)—along with those without status, are ineligible for federal Medicaid except for emergency services. SOLUTION: Clarify that uninsured immigrants with low incomes in all states can receive COVID-19 testing, treatment, and vaccines for COVID-19 through Medicaid. PROTECTING DACA, TPS, AND OTHER WORK AUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS The COVID-19 pandemic has brought further uncertainty and instability to immigrants with temporary work authorization, including individuals with DACA and TPS who are under threat by the Trump administration. Recipients of DACA and TPS are facing increased challenges in renewing their protected status and work authorization as a result of USCIS office closures, delays, and overall ability to pay filing and application-related fees at a time of financial hardship. While the Supreme Court recently ruled that DACA was unlawfully terminated, the administration has signaled that they will once again attempt to rescind DACA. TPS communities continue to challenge the termination of TPS, including through the awaited decision in Ramos v. Nielsen affecting the availability of TPS for hundreds of thousands of people. Individuals with DACA, TPS, and other work-authorized immigrants are often working at the frontlines of this pandemic as essential workers and should not face the added uncertainty of losing their protection from deportation and work authorization in the middle of a global pandemic and economic recession. SOLUTION: Include language from Section 191201 of the HEROES Act passed by the House that automatically extends the work authorization and underlying status of work-authorized immigrants, including DACA and TPS holders for at least the original time period granted to the individual. Thank you for your leadership in these challenging times. Sincerely,
