Deportations will continue to destroy immigrant communities and families unless Congress and the White House act to create a pathway to citizenship for all. We were promised a comprehensive immigration reform bill by now, but Congressional leaders have yet to produce legislation. Please sign this petition to urge our elected representatives in Washington to put a bill before the American people, and to act fast to fix our country's broken immigration system once and for all.

Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill will be a key vote on legislation to fix our broken immigration system this year. We need her to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

ICE, the federal agency in charge of deportations, is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on inhumane tracking of immigrants facing deportation. Thousands of people are forced to wear ankle monitors and suffer random home inspections -- even though many of these people have no criminal history and pose little flight risk. While just 3% of criminals on probation wear ankle monitors, 29% of the 21,000 immigrants in this heightened supervision program live with these devices 24 hours a day, even plugging them in to recharge while they sleep at night. Behavioral Interventions, a subsidiary of private prison company Geo Group, is receiving $378 million from ICE to monitor immigrants this way. There should be no profit in this process. It's excessive, it's wrong, and it's up to us to make our voices heard for fairness and humanity in the treatment of America's immigrants.

Stop the deportation of my husband. He is a father and husband that is loving and caring. He has been the support and person I have always wanted. He likes to help and care for people, even if it means thinking of himself last. He is the person that likes to help anybody without expecting something in return. He has taught me so many things and has always been supportive. We have similar stories. We both grew up away from our parents a great part of our lives and we don't want this to happen to our daughter. Please help me stop the separation of another family. He has no family left in Mexico, as our mothers live in the United StatesS. It's been so hard. He has siblings and more people that need him and care for him.

As you read this, the Gang of 8 (a group of Senators) are working to introduce an immigration reform bill this year. Senator Chuck Schumer (D) from New York-- a member of the Gang of 8--has been a longtime supporter for the LGBTQ community and receives funding from mainstream LGBTQ organizations. However, so far, he has been silent on this issue in his talk on immigration reform. Senator Schumer needs to hear from you to remind him why it is crucial for him to be a champion for the LGTBQ immigrant community the same way we have supported him. The Queer Undocumented Immigrant Project (QUIP), a project of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth network in the country, made a commitment to make sure that the entire 11 Million are included in this bill and that includes LGTBQ immigrants like me.

Montana Democratic Senators Max Baucus and Jon Tester will be key votes on legislation to fix our broken immigration system this year.

Ever felt trapped in your job? Meet Maria. She came to the United States on a six month visa to care for a disabled woman. Her employers took away her passport, refused to pay her, and literally trapped her in their home. It took her 13 months to escape that job. Now Maria cleans houses to support her family. But because Maria doesn’t have a formal pay history, either from her time doing home care or her current work cleaning houses, she may not even be eligible to get on the path to earned legal status. We need to do right by women like Maria. Senator Mazie Hirono is calling attention to this and similar issues by chairing a full Judiciary hearing on Women and Immigration on March 18th. We think every member of the Committee should be there to understand the particular challenges facing immigrant women. If you agree, please tell the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to join Senator Hirono at this hearing. The last time major immigration reform legislation was passed, we failed to explore these unique challenges. Immigrant women have suffered because of it. Let’s not make the same mistake twice. Thank you.

This humane act is a win-win move for the State of Florida and the Nation. Any inhabitant can be identified and accountable, they will be able to pay taxes and fees, and have auto insurance. They can be recipients of better dignity in this nation.
