La Cumbre se celebró conjuntamente con CARE EE.UU. y el Consejo de Asuntos Mundiales de Atlanta.

WASHINGTON, DC - EE.UU. El representante Hank Johnson (GA-4) participó hoy en una dirección democrática y audiencia del Comité de Política en la "Ley de Equidad Salarial: Cómo cerrar la brecha salarial de género y fortalecer la seguridad económica para las mujeres de Estados Unidos."

“The time has long since passed when Congress should have enacted comprehensive immigration reform legislation. President Obama’s important action is a small, but highly significant step toward a humane policy on immigration that recognizes the realities of today’s world. Undocumented children of illegal immigrants are not responsible for their parents’ actions of bringing them to America. Although they are not born here, they truly are Americans. President Obama’s policy finally recognizes that fact.”
