WHAT THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS SAY

AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL

  • The U.S. Senate is expected to take up immigration reform proposals beginning in early March. In the wake of the House-passed version of immigration “reform,” which would criminalize undocumented immigrants and those who assist them, while not addressing the inadequacies of the current legal immigration system, it is critically important to actively engage the Senate at this time.
     
  • To learn more about the House-passed legislation (H.R. 4437), please visit our web site at: http:// www.justiceforimmigrants.org/HR4437.html. Your Senators need to hear from you now. Your Senators need to be convinced that only comprehensive legislation will fix the ills of the current system and that an enforcement-only approach is ineffective and unacceptable.
     
  • Please contact your Senators today! Please write your Senators to encourage support for comprehensive immigration reforms, as embodied in the “McCain-Kennedy” proposal (S.1033, The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act.) The Justice for Immigrants Campaign has issued an action alert regarding this important legislation and you can take advantage of our interactive website to communicate with your elected officials. Please visit http:// www.justiceforimmigrants.org/action.html to send your Senator a letter.
