Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has emphasized that granting citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants is essential for America's future. Schumer stated that the ultimate goal is to help 'Dreamers' and create a path to citizenship for all 11 million or more undocumented individuals in the country, regardless of how they entered. He argues that embracing immigrants is crucial for the nation's progress. This statement, mirroring the words of Nancy Pelosi, has sparked significant debate, with critics arguing it is an effort to secure votes and jobs for American citizens.
