President Obama said it right: "The time for comprehensive
immigration reform is here." But the change we need won’t happen
without support from the White House and Congressional leadership,
communities of immigrants, advocates, faith, business and labor, and
most of all, activists like you.
We could see a bill as soon as this month, when Congress returns
from its summer recess, and that’s why we need your support now.
Let’s make a clear statement to congressional leaders about what we are FOR.
Be part of the Campaign to Reform Immigration FOR America’s movement
to engage every member of Congress to support the momentum that we
started this summer, and to push strongly for these key principles for
comprehensive immigration reform.
As the Administration and Congress prepare to begin debating immigration reform, we urge that the following principles guide our policymakers:
--Immigration reform must promote economic opportunity.
--Immigration reform must be comprehensive.
--Long-term reform requires long term solutions.
A reform package that works for all communities and families in America should include the following:
--A rational and humane approach to the undocumented population.
--Protect U.S. and immigrant workers.
--Allocate sufficient visas to close unlawful migration channels.
--Enhance our nation's security and safety.
--Establish a strategic border enforcement policy that reflects American values.
--Keep American families together.
--Promote immigrant integration.
--Protect fundamental rights for all.
