Here is what the "Coalitions for Justice" are delivering to congressional offices today. They're not demanding much, are they? They went around and got the signatures on these last last week:
"I write to urge you to back a realistic and productive comprehensive immigration reform package that does not include any hidden twps (sic) that would sabotage legalization programs, and to reject an enforcement only approach. The provisions of Sensenbrenner HR 4437 that passed the House of Representatives in December 2005 are bad polky (sic) and a dead end for our communities and our economy. Please support immigration reform that will include the following provisions:
I. A path to citizenship or earned legaliza1ion that is straightforward for those of the 12 million undocumented currently living in the US. who desire it.
2. A temporary program for those who desire to maintain their permanent roots in their coUntries of origin that includes worker protections for both domestic and immigrant workers and provide visa portability
3. An effective and speedy plan to reunite families.
4. Provisions for travel to and from countries of origin for immigrants here on worlr (sic) visas.
5. Greater provisions for friture (sic) flows of immigrants coming to the US. That includes a path to dtizenship
6. No more expensive. dead, and ineffective walls on the borders.
7. Promotion of full civic participation in immigrant communities."
I fully expected to see the following with that:
Have brand new houses built for them
Have brand new cars provided for them
Give free $5000 debit cards to them for their clothes and whatnots
It's rediculous.
I had a family member brutally murdered by a pack of illegals back in 1979. Lets just say my family is more than ready for that fence and for something of SUBSTANCE to be done about the problem.
