Letter: The dual benefits of Biden’s relief plan

Daniel Di Martino does an excellent, fact-based job explaining why immigrants actually make things better for American workers (“The key to lifting up blue-collar America is immigration,” Feb. 16).

Fortunately, President Joe Biden knows these facts as well and is taking action, on the immigration issue along with other initiatives to benefit Americans workers. In fact, the president’s latest relief bill not only battles the pandemic, but expands the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit.

This proposal would move 17 million Americans out of poverty and end the taxing of five million young people into poverty. When this relief bill becomes law, it will be because citizens called their representatives asking them to vote for and pass this important relief in these troubled times.

Our calls and letters create the political will for Congress to take action!
