President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was started to allow undocumented youth brought to this country as children (DREAMers) to come out of the shadows and apply for legal protection from unwarranted deportation (as well as state drivers' licenses). Unfortunately, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory is using this opportunity as a way to remind DREAMers that he thinks they are second-class Americans who should be publicly branded as such. Instead of giving approved applicants standard drivers' licenses, McCrory is instructing his state DMVs to issue special pink licenses with the phrase "NO LAWFUL STATUS" across the front. This type of discrimination hearkens to ugly separate-and-unequal days of North Carolina's past, and should have no place in the 21st century. Sign our petition to tell Governor McCrory to reverse his decision and stop discriminating against DREAMers in his state.

Cubans are getting preferential treatment on the path to citizenship. Not only is this wrong, I believe that it is unconstitutional. I believe that even some of our more conservative friends may agree.

My wife of ten years is a disabled stroke survivor and depends on me to care for her. Homeland security has demanded she leave the USA where we own a home. I have filed a I-130 application for a green-card and need for my wife remain in the USA while she waits for the visa to be approved.

Sign the petition to be presented at the La Raza Advocay Day in DC, on March 6, 2013. Your congressionall legislators from Delaware need to hear you support Comprehensive Immigration Reform right now.This will make Delaware families and communities better.

Some people very close to me have lived in the shadows for over fifteen years.

Too many dreams and human rights have pushed aside by our broken immigration system. Too many families have been torn apart by hasty deportation practices. The time to heal our communities is now. Please, help protect immigrants' human rights and make humane immigration reform a reality this year by signing this petition today!

18-year old DREAMer Jessica Bravo was visiting Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) last week to talk about immigration reform. The congressman, a powerful man three times her age, told her “I hate illegals,” and threatened Jessica and her family, shouting at her “I know where you live!” No matter what Rep. Rohrabacher thinks about immigration reform, what he did was just plain wrong. As Speaker of the House, the buck has to stop with John Boehner. He needs to make clear whether he stands against this behavior or will tacitly endorse it.

Please for the very much needed Compassion not only for all Families but especially the Children that have been torn apart by the Present Obama Administration's Record # of Deportations...Thank You For Reading, Signing & Sharing!

Stop spending Department of Justice dollars to criminalize the poorest of the poor and most vulnerable people seeking the American Dream. While DOJ spends $10,000.00 a day prosecuting people who enter the United States without permission, the Courts have to make deals with drug runners and human traffickers. In December 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that Operation Streamline’s group hearings in Tucson violate federal law. Courts have ruled that the assembly-line hearings in Operation Streamline violate Rule 11 on Due Process Requirements and the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution on Probable Cause. New prisons have been built in 3 states to handle the high rate of "convictions." Private prison corporations have gained $5.5 BILLION since 2005 for housing these voiceless immigrants in deplorable conditions; indeed they are the only people who profit from Operation Streamline. Yet, Operation Streamline continues processing 400 to 650 persons a day in 2 -3 hour court sessions, Monday through Friday in Yuma and Tucson, AZ; Las Cruces, NM; El Paso, Laredo, Del Rio, Brownsville and McAllen, TX. And now, there is discussion of expanding Operation Streamline from its current 8 locations to all locations on the southern border of the United States BEFORE comprehensive immigration reform can get started.

This week, my 66-year-old mother was jailed. She attended a Senate hearing on immigration reform where not a single Latino undocumented worker was given an opportunity to testify. As Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano took the microphone, my mother stood up and called for an end to the deportations that tear apart our families. I am so proud of her bravery. But for this, my mother was detained for more than eight hours. Is this really what it takes for the voices of those most impacted by immigration reform to be heard? Sen. Schumer is responsible for pushing immigration reform through a Democrat-controlled Senate that is supposed to be on our side. He cares a lot about his image right now. Tell Sen. Schumer you want a Latino undocumented worker to testify at the next immigration hearing.

HB 2787 needs to move out of committee and onto the House floor.

A student was denied admittance to Trident Technical College because he was undocumented. Trident stated that our state Immigration law disallowed his admittance, but Homeland Security has ruled these Dreamers are lawfully present and therefore our state law does not apply to these young people. It is important to clarify this legally to all our schools and allow these students in.
