The Humane Immigration Status Resolution

One day after debate officially began in the U.S. Senate on the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (S.744), Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) released a new petition on MoveOn.org urging his colleagues in the House of Representatives to stop referring to undocumented immigrants as “illegal” and support H.Res.115, the Humane Immigration Status Resolution. Nearly 1,000 MoveOn.org members have signed on in support of Rep. Rush’s campaign and the Humane Immigration Status Resolution.
