CRI call to action
 

Please respond today, if possible, to this urgent request from
Ana Garcia-Ashley and Juan Soto, Co-directors for
Gamaliel's Civil Rights of Immigrants Campaign:

 
On September 14, the House of Representatives passed the Secure Fence Act, H.R. 6061, which calls for 700 miles of fence on the U.S./Mexico border and requires the Department of Homeland Security to achieve "operational control" of the rest of the U.S./Mexico border through a "virtual fence." The Senate may debate and vote on this legislation shortly. Also, this week the House will vote on three new enforcement bills introduced by Representative Sensenbrenner (R-WI) that incorporate pieces of H.R. 4437.

This is a fast-moving legislative attack on immigrants that needs our immediate response.

It is very important to make calls to your two Senators and one Representative), even if you know he/she already supports comprehensive immigration reform. If you can, please make this calls today.


Here is a suggested script:

"Congress should stop the piecemeal, enforcement-only approach to immigration reform. I support a comprehensive bill that reunites families, legalizes the undocumented population, and provides future immigrants with a safe and legal way to live and work in the U.S."

Making a difference begins with entering your zip code here.

 


For other information see our Contact Congress page.You can also call the Congressional switchboard to be connected to their offices: (202) 224-3121.
 

 
Thank you for responding to this request.
