Immigration Reform: What About Immigrant Rights?

From the Center for Constitutional Rights

Protect the Rights of Immigrants

Congress is preparing to pass immigration legislation that could affect millions of people for a decade to come. Some politicians are proposing legislation to severely punish people without documentation and criminalize compassionate action to assist them, turning some asylum seekers and service providers into criminals. These steps may appease hard line anti-immigrant constituencies, but they will not advance comprehensive immigration reform that respects people’s dignity while improving immigration policy. Can you take a moment to tell Congress that immigration reform must include a path to permanent legal residence and respects immigrants’ due process rights by filling out the form http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/ccr/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=2949
