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.

Florida's roads are full of unlicensed, undocumented individuals who have lived in the U.S. for years and, because of the always pending immigration reform, cannot become legal residents. We need those individuals to be granted driver's licenses, so that we not only have safer roads and improve the ratio of insured drivers, but also address the marginalization of hundreds of thousands of Floridian families who are living in the shadows of a pending immigration reform. Let's do something about this!

We petition the Obama administration to: publicly support Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor's stand that children of undocumented workers should get citizenship.

Senator Marco Rubio has become the most vocal Republican on immigration reform. But he needs to know that relegating some immigrants to a de facto second-class status for life isn’t good for immigrants or America. He has stated publicly that he supports a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US – but the process he’s designing could take decades, meaning that some people will be unable to become citizens in their lifetimes. This is not acceptable. We know the citizenship process must be straightforward and real; it should take a matter of years -- not decades.

Children, born outside the United States, now ages five through age twelve, brought into this country illegally by their parents should be granted immediate United States citizenship if they have lived here for at least five continuous years. They should not be punished for a crime they did not commit or could not prevent. Currently all children born in the United States, even if their parents are illegal immigrants, are according to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution American citizens from their birth. Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Unfortunately, those children brought into the country after birth are penalized by their parents illegal immigrant status. The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution does not allow cruel and unusual punishments. Punishing children for the crimes of their parents is a cruel and unusual punishment and therefore, is not allowed by our Constitution. Being born here, even if their parents are criminals, does not deny a child their right to United States citizenship. Therefore, since children have no way to prevent their parents from committing an illegal act they should not be held accountable and punished for such acts. They should be afforded the same documentation and recognized status as citizens under our Constitution, even though they were not born here, as those children born in the U.S. of illegal immigrants.

Last relative immigration act. Most countries have a policy when a citizen who has no other relatives in the country can sponsor only one relative to come to the country. It doesn't matter if it s a grandmother or a brother. It is a last relative, who needs and wants to immigrate to establish a family connection. I have a 28 year old son who is my only relative and I can't get him immigrate to the US because he is over 21. I have nobody in this country. This is just not right.

It is time for Georgia to join the rest of the country in support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform which includes a pathway to citizenship for our undocumented immigrant neighbors who have worked hard to build this country like our immigrant ancestors (including my Italian ones, who happened to come here "illegally", like many others did of all backgrounds).

Property taxes in NJ. I'm on Social Security. The property taxes on my home represent 1/4 of my yearly income. This cannot continue. Please do something about it. Consolidate school districts. Make allowance for seniors and those who have no children attending school.

People who were born and raised in America are suffering because of the millions of illegals invading our country.It neds to stop,we want our country back!

Living on the border I see the reverberations not dealing with this issue produces for all.

We have discriminatory sanctions against every Cuban "national" who has left Cuba permanently if, at any time since July 1963, the individual was a Cuban citizen, or was permanently resident or domiciled in Cuba. Unlike all other U.S. sanctions, we block Cuban refugees' assets unless the U.S. Treasury Department has issued them a license. For example, a Cuban exile who becomes a Spanish citizen cannot eat at McDonald's in Madrid, open a bank or securities account at a U.S. bank's subsidiary in Barcelona, or be sent a gift from a cousin in the United States without a Treasury license. (A license unblocks Cuban exiles who have legally resided in the United States.) We should end this U.S. discrimination against Cuban exiles in third countries, which imposes huge compliance costs for U.S. subsidiaries abroad, angers countries with different policies toward Cuba, and which provides no benefit to U.S. sanctions policy. Limit U.S. sanctions against individual Cubans to people in Cuba now.

This year, we have the best chance we've had in a long time to create change in an immigration system that has left 11 million people living in the shadow of deportation. But in past years, previous Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) bills introduced in Congress haven't come close to giving all undocumented people a chance at citizenship. For example, a 2006 CIR bill that failed would have given only 7 million the opportunity to "fix" their status if it had passed. Tell your Congressperson that you won't settle and leave anyone behind. Sign this petition calling for a bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented people.
