Congressman Maurice Hinchey introduced a bill in support of the Saugerties businessowners on February 5. You can track its progress on OpenCongress, a handy website that provides easy access to federal legislation.
From a comment left on OpenCongress, where sentiment is running mostly in favor of the Mayas:
We have been neighbors of the Maya family and have seen over the years their wonderful involvement in our community. They have done more than most American born citizens in the way of community participation. We now have over 1000 community residents who have signed a petition to keep them here and grant them and their 2 American born children citizenship.
