Immigration officials in Arizona recently targeted and raided the family home of a leading immigrant rights organizer. On January 10, Erika and her family were at home spending time with each other. That evening, someone knocked on the door. As Erika answered, the first thing she saw an ICE officer handcuffing her brother, who had been outside talking to a neighbor. Another ICE officer stood in front of Erika asking for Maria, her mother. Erika asked the officer if he had a warrant and why they were taking her family. He answered that they were undocumented and had to go. The officers detained her mother before driving away. Erika and her younger brother were left alone in the living room, forcibly separated from their closest family. Erika leads immigrant youth nationwide; her story and activism are well-known. Recently, President Obama and ICE announced they would not deport individuals without a criminal record, but our families are torn apart every day. If this could happen to Erika, it could happen to anyone else. End their deportation now. Help us keep Erika's family together.

This petition is sponsored by Mexico Democrats Abroad and local chapters of Democrats Abroad throughout Mexico in an effort to support much needed Immigration Reform in the United States. It is our hope that it will be signed by U.S. citizens in America and throughout the world.

The Forrester Family is seeking relief from outdated and disproportionate immigration laws that have permanently banned Mr. Forrester from the United States for life, because of simple possession of marijuana. We believe that waivers should be available to spouses of U.S. citizens so that the past mistakes of the immigrant can be weighed against the hardship to the U.S. family if they are never allowed to come. Please sign our petition to Bring the Forrester Family Together. Our children need their father.

We are asking President Obama and his administration to honor their promises and stop the raids on workplaces and sites where day laborers are waiting for work in Illinois and to stop the plan to build a privately owned detention facility in Joliet, IL. Stop ICE commitment to keep 90% capacity on a daily basis and push legislation to give permanent legal status to a significant number of estimated 11.1 million undocumented immigrants living in the USA. To help keep families and friends together.

It is unconscionable that the U.S. spends $2 billion a year to lock up immigrants like criminals. Any comprehensive immigration reform should end mandatory detention under INA 236(c) of long-time green card holders with work and families here, drastically reduce detention of all immigrants, and provide appointed counsel to detainees as we do to criminal defendants.

Our nation's future is being crippled by political leaders who could not even raise taxes on income over $1M a year. For the good of our nation, those with allegiance to a no-tax pledge must not be allowed to vote on issues involving taxation, to serve on budget committees, or to take part in negotiations that involve taxes.

Undocumented people, who live in State of California, really need a driver license for the protecting of all Californians. On this way, police officers can identify immediately the record of the driver, if he/she has been under of alcohol situation, to punish those who broke our State Laws. However, I had been affect by this, as my church's friends who give me rides to my house, officers took their cars, as they don't have a California driver license or from other US State. I seem this unfair, as California State Government need and must pass a bill into a law, a driver license for those undocumented people who really need it, who work really hard, go to the church to Praise God, and serve other.

" We need to face the facts, immigrants are humans the same as all of us."

My wife was denied citizenship over an inadvertent mistake that should have been picked up by officials at the polling station in our neighborhood.

A bipartisan group of 8 Senators has just stepped up to create the framework for immigration reform next year and they need to hear from us. We have our work cut out for us -- some of these Senators voted against the DREAM Act. But now all 8 are saying they want to tackle the issue. We’re in a new era and our movement has proven that we have the power to win. The only way to ensure that Congress passes the kind of immigration reform proposal we want is to make our demands known every step of the way. Our bottom line for immigration reform is a roadmap for citizenship for all 11 million immigrants without papers living in the United States who are contributing to our country. Use the form on the left: tell the 'Gang of 8' in the Senate that citizenship is our bottom line.

America is a nation of values founded on the idea that all men and women are created equal. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all people have rights, no matter what they look like or where they came from. So how we treat new American immigrants reflects our commitment to the values that define us as Americans. We believe that families should stick together, that we should look out for each other, and hard work should be rewarded. Everyone agrees that the current patchwork of immigration policies and programs is mismanaged and broken, and it breaks up families. For those currently striving for citizenship, there's often no line to get into for becoming a fully participating American. Aspiring citizens move here for the promise of freedom and opportunity in this country, and we believe that moving to make a better life for your family is one of the best things and one of the hardest things a person can do. That's why all Americans who love this country very much deserve a common sense immigration process, one that includes a clear and uncomplicated roadmap to citizenship for new Americans who aspire to be citizens.
