As sweeping immigration reform is highly unlikely, there are certain targeted reforms that are both urgently needed and potentially achievable; such as:

== To protect DREAMers, we propose a new, indefinite “conditional residence status” to DREAMers with protection from deportation, work authorization, and the right to travel abroad

== State-based Immigration Programs: This proposal would authorize state governors to ask DOL and/or DHS to approve additional worker petitions to authorize the hiring of immigrants by employers in their respective states

== Border Management and Asylum Reform

== Improve access to refugee resettlement to the United States and other countries in the Western Hemisphere for those who qualify

== Expand other avenues to legal migration

== Reform asylum for border arrivals

== Explore demands for both asylum and border reforms that would partially be ameliorated by new immigrant worker programs

== Build on Current Proposals for Essential Workers

== Help the healthcare services industry to recruit foreign national workers from countries in the Western Hemisphere for those who qualify
