Representatives advocate for immigrant access to Head Start, citing potential long-term costs and negative impacts on early education.
Quiver AI Summary
Representatives Suzanne Bonamici, Jahana Hayes, and Teresa Leger Fernández have led a letter signed by 34 Members of Congress urging the Department of Health and Human Services to maintain immigrant access to Head Start programs. This call comes after HHS proposed changes that could bar certain immigrants from accessing vital early childhood education services.
The proposed reinterpretation of "federal public benefit" could impact over 115,000 children's access to Head Start, a program that has served millions since its inception. The lawmakers highlighted concerns that restricting access could lead to increased long-term costs and negative effects on the labor market, as parents may need to leave jobs to care for their children.
“We strongly urge you to cease efforts to reclassify Head Start as a federal public benefit,” the representatives stated, emphasizing that this change would hurt vulnerable families and exacerbate challenges in the childcare sector. The full letter detailing these concerns is available online.
