Dear Representative,

On December 31st, 2021, the planning for a bill that can offer permanent stability to more than 421,000 Venezuelans residing in the United States began. This proposal, called the Venezuelan Adjustment Act. HR. 1348, would be a way to offer Permanent Residence.

We also need bipartisan support; however, we request that you be a sponsor of the said bill since you represent great hope for the Venezuelan people.

We would like to enact this legislation based on many different reasons such as:

1. We rely on the Cuban Adjustment Law: Law approved on November 02, 1966
2. Apart from the humanitarian characteristics, the Venezuelan community would be a community of interest to the United States.
3. The United States is a nation consistent with the principles they have followed in their dealings with the nations around the world, to encourage freedom and to encourage resistance to totalitarianism.
4. The approval of this law would be a contribution to the principle of consistency of the United States, which carries freedom and resistance to totalitarianism as its flag, which is a nation that practices what it preaches and which extends itself to provide the opportunity to provide to people who are victims of totalitarian regimes, to live in a free society and be useful to the United States.
5. Many professional Venezuelans who would be a credit to this country were prevented from gaining professional employment in the U.S. due to statutes that require Permanent Residence or full citizenship for certain professions such as a doctor, dentist, lawyer, teacher, etc.
6. The Venezuelan community has been characterized as hard-working professionals who are an asset to American communities.
7. Does not encourage irregular immigration.
8. We are not a public charge, most of the Venezuelan applicants have declared their taxes.

The Venezuelan community urges your help in bringing this legislation to the House of Representatives floor to permanently protect Venezuelan residents in the USA. We count on your support to back this legislation.

We need to start the pathway for Venezuelans by affording them stability with a great contribution to the nation, being an asset and added value to the growth and development of communities.

Sincerely,
