The organization called for bipartisan immigration reform, stressing the need for solutions that ensure stability for young, skilled immigrants.
Following the election of President Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States, Improve The Dream, a nonpartisan organization led by youth, expressed its readiness to work with his administration on immigration reform.
Advocating for the rights of children of long-term visa holders, their families, and other immigrants, the organization reiterated the importance of bipartisan solutions that align with American values. Dip Patel, president of Improve The Dream, emphasized the urgent need for compassionate reforms that provide stability for skilled young immigrants who contribute to the U.S. workforce.
Patel highlighted that the organization is seeking pathways that retain talented individuals who were raised and educated in the United States, many of whom are in vital sectors like healthcare and STEM. He stated, “Every day without action forces young adults, raised by skilled workers and small business owners, to leave the country, separating them from their families and preventing them from contributing to our nation.”
The statement reiterates Improve The Dream’s long-standing efforts to build bipartisan support. It points out that a stable immigration pathway aligns with fundamental American values of fairness and opportunity, and expresses hope that the Trump administration will expand legal immigration options for hardworking individuals and families.
Patel concluded by reaffirming the organization’s commitment to working with policymakers to craft reforms that reflect the ideals of unity and opportunity. "We are ready and willing to collaborate with anyone to make our dream of staying in this country a reality. We aim to be a solution that inspires common-sense fixes to help bring America closer to its ideals."
