• Stop illegal immigration and enforce existing laws!
    I would like for the rule of law to be followed, sanctuary cities to be outlawed, and citizenship for children of illegal immigrants to be disallowed by a proper interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

  • Bring Dana Back to US
    Dana went overseas to visit family after being in the United States for several years, and the US revoked her passport while she was there. She has two American born children, and her husband, Feras, is in Pennsylvania as a neonatologist and pediatrician. Feras misses his family more and more each day, continuing to help other families as he practices medicine, while his own will be in imminent danger if they are not allowed back.

  • Governor Brown: Sign the TRUST Act
    While extremists in Arizona have passed laws that make a suspect out of anyone who looks “foreign,” California is poised to take a different approach. If the TRUST Act becomes law, California would set a new bar as a state where immigrants stopped for a broken taillight or for selling tamales on the street won’t be fast-tracked into deportation. The TRUST Act would maintain immigration holds for those convicted of a serious felony, but mothers and fathers who get picked up for minor reasons, wouldn’t have to worry about ending up in immigration detention or deportation. Think of all those families who won’t have to live in constant fear of the police! The TRUST Act has already passed the California legislature. Now, all eyes are on Gov. Jerry Brown.

  • Allow the Police and INS do their jobs.
    The safety of Police and Border patrol agents, as well as the entire nation is in grave danger from terrorists and drug cartels and the Federal Government and the Supreme Court are more concerned about political correctness, and offending people. Force them to do their jobs.

  • Newspaper Editors: Stop describing people as “illegal immigrants” and "illegal aliens"
    The i-word is dehumanizing, racially charged and masquerades as legal terminology, which it is not. There are terms like “unauthorized” and “undocumented,” and other precise, rational descriptions that can be used. The i-word denies people due process and is incompatible with ethical, professional journalistic standards. The i-word inflames anti-immigrant rhetoric, which morphs into anti-Latino sentiment. By dropping the i-word, newspapers can stop fueling hate and prejudice toward members of its own community.

  • Limit immigration to sustainable numbers
    Yes, we are a nation of immigrants, but we need to reduce immigration to traditional levels so that it does not drive population growth and unemployment. In the 1970’s, our population reached 200 million, and we wondered how we were going to preserve our environment. People started having fewer children, But the government drastically increased immigration (and ignored illegal migration) to the point where we are at 325 million. We’ll be at a half billion by mid century! Meanwhile we are running out of resources and trampling the environment. If we maintain our current immigration policy, our environment will be destroyed by overpopulation. This excessive growth is also causing wage depression and outright unemployment. We have massive unemployment, yet we are importing workers faster than we are creating jobs. This makes no sense.

  • Tell Mitt Romney: Arizona is Not a Model!
    Extreme politicians in Arizona wanted to force all immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and give law-enforcement officers the ability to harass and racially profile immigrants and Latinos without any fear of penalty. They would even make it illegal for an undocumented immigrant to search for a job. Is this what Governor Romney meant last fall when he said Arizona’s approach is a “model for the nation”? The Supreme Court just struck down most of the Arizona law, and narrowly allowed a key provision to remain. The Justices warn that provision could still be unconstitutional. Already, it is terrifying Latino and immigrant communities, who know it will lead to racial profiling. Yet Mitt Romney and his campaign have still refused to change his position. The immigrant and Latino communities are already bracing for government-sanctioned harassment by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and other extremist politicians, and leaders are planning to bring the case back to federal court. Tell Mitt Romney that Arizona’s anti-immigrant law is not a model for the nation. We need strong national leaders to stand against racial profiling and stand up for values of fairness and equal treatment under the law.

  • Immigration pardon
    Making people who have been deported for ten years be eligible to come back before that if they pay a fine. Also if they commit to work and not be a burden for the economy. People should sign it if they are in a similar situation especially if a person was deported and their only crime was enter illegally but have no other violent or drug related crimes.

  • Mr. President, Stop SB1070. Don't Deport Its Victims.
    Arizona is headed toward a crisis, but the President can stop it immediately. Because of Sheriffs like Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Arizona is already known for its abuse of power and some of the worst racial profiling in recent history. Now that the Supreme Court has allowed parts of the anti-immigrant law, SB1070, to go into effect, Arizona will get even worse unless we move the President to act. The civil rights violations that will sky rocket in Arizona under SB1070 can only be carried out if the federal government willingly cooperates and processes SB1070's victims for deportation after Sheriffs like Arpaio round them up. The President can stop racial profiling, prejudiced policing, and the separation of families, by cutting off Arizona's access to federal immigration enforcement.

  • The time for immigration reform is NOW!
    Following the recent announcement that President Obama will halt the deportation of DREAMers, the Supreme Court has announced that they will let stand the despicable "Papers, please" provision of Arizona's SB 1070 that allows police to profile individuals based on the color of their skin. Our country's urgent need for a comprehensive solution for our broken immigration system has never been clearer. Add your name and message below to tell our leaders in Washington that the time is NOW for comprehensive immigration reform!
