Immigrants made
up a quarter of the workers who kept the country afloat during
the COVID-19 lockdown in France. Now, France is thanking
12,000 of them by granting them citizenship and lowering the
residency requirements from 5 years to 2 years. They showed up
for their country and in turn, their country rewarded them for
their work and the huge risks it entailed. The United State and the United Kingdom should
also create special programs to grant front line immigrant
workers citizenship! Sign the petition if you
agree!
The beneficiaries of the French
program for citizenship had a range of jobs, from doctors and
nurses, to garbage disposal workers and cashiers. The thing
they had in common? They risked their lives to do their
jobs and keep the country going amidst a deadly pandemic,
saving countless lives. Many immigrant workers in
the United States and United Kingdom did the same
thing.
Isolated, disoriented, and
treated as criminals, these children endure lasting scars.
Medical experts in Florida and the U.S. agree that this
practice is harmful to children, and is in no way necessary or
beneficial. Yet Florida authorities don't seem to care much.
The least we can do is say thanks, and to tell them that they
belong in the countries they sacrificed so much to help!
Sign the petition to tell the United States and
the United Kingdom to follow France's
lead!
Thank you for all that you do,

P.S. We need to
give immigrants who are fighting COVID-19 an accelerated
chance at citizenship. Sign the petition. |
