Motel 6—which is controlled by the CEO of the Blackstone Group, one of Donald Trump's biggest supporters—is suspected of calling ICE to report undocumented guests. Employees at two locations in Arizona, where more than 20 arrests by ICE have been made in recent months, confirmed rumors, telling local media: "We send a report every morning to ICE -- all the names of everybody that comes in." Let that sink in for a minute. Motel 6 is literally taking money from immigrant customers, and then calling immigration agents to come round them up, jail them, and deport them if they can find a reason. This is unacceptable. Adding insult to injury, Motel 6 has released a statement claiming this was an isolated incident and the practice "was discontinued." That's it. No change in policies, no employees disciplined, no increased oversight. We can't let Motel 6 get away with these anti-immigrant practices. Demand that Motel 6 ensures none of their branches are cooperating with ICE. Together we can show callous companies and CEO's that they are not above basic decency.

This affects our U.S. born spouses and their children by separating families who have tried to do the right thing when applying for family based residency. My husband was denied his permanent residence and a ten year bar placed because he had been here more than once and over one year. We have now been separated and are having to make the decision to move our children to Mexico in order to remain a family unit.

The NY State Assembly passed these two bills, intended to protect "Dreamers" living in the state of New York, in February 2017. However, when the bills got to the NY Senate, the eight members of the "Independent Democratic Committee" - a bloc of Senators who have turned away from the Democratic voters that elected them to join Republicans on this and many other legislative issues - joined with their Republican colleagues to block these bills. I am asking my Governor, Andrew Cuomo, to act quickly to convene a special session to pass the NY Dream Act and the NY Liberty Act. I also ask our Governor to denounce the turncoats who call themselves the IDC and to support primary challengers for each of their seats. These Senators, who ran and were elected as Democrats, have abandoned their duty to the voters that elected them to office. Let's make New York a beacon of progressive values by providing sanctuary to those who did not choose to come here but have since contributed to their communities as New Yorkers. We need a unified Democratic government that truly represents the voters that elected them, and that will stand up for all New Yorkers.

Because if we are going to Close our Gateways to Immigrants and remove Undocumented Americans at heart..Then Lady Liberty is a Joke to people arround the world.

President Trump has given Congress six months to pass legislation protecting Dreamers. These people have proven to be productive members of American society, with many serving in our military and assisting in Hurricane Harvey relief, in addition to the revenue raised through taxes and fees. They should not be forced out of the only country they've known for almost their entire lives.

California has more Dreamers than any other state so this is very important to people in our community. Legalizing DACA participants is the right thing to do for these kids who have complied by being vetted, paying their fees, staying out of trouble, holding down responsible jobs and furthering their educational goals. They have done their part now it is up to our government to do their part. Representative Darrell Issa must take a strong stance to pass a Dream Act immediately! Please sign and share with other constituents and take a minute to call his office at 760.599.5000.

Even though I am a white Anglo whose American ancestry dates back centuries, I very strongly support the DACA immigrants, no matter how they got here. I have been personally helped by a kow-wage Chicana caregiver who has made a huge contribution to this country. She and her brethren deserve to be recognised for the life-saving work they have done for me and other American citizens.

Texas has more Dreamers than any other state other than California so this is very important to people in our community. Dreamers were brought here no fault of their own. They know no other country but the United States. I support a path to citizenship for all DACA individuals and so should Representative Will Hurd. Representative Hurd must take a strong stance to pass a Dream Act immediately! Please sign and share with other constituents and take a minute to call his office 210.921.3130.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is under threat of being ended. Though Donald Trump has stated he "loves the Dreamers", he is still considering ending it and the benefits it provides for over 800,000 people who were brought to the United States as young children. If DACA is ended, it would be one of the most inhumane policy decisions in the history of modern U.S. politics, and would severely harm the economy; business leaders have estimated a loss of $460.3 billion. Top Republican lawmakers, including Paul Ryan and Orrin Hatch, and an attorney general, Herbert Slatery, who previously opposed DACA, have called on Trump to defend the program. A handful of mayors from both political parties have also lent their voices to the fight to keep DACA. Members of our government want to keep this program, let's make sure they do. My goal for this petition is 50,000 signatures, and I know we can reach it and send a powerful message to this administration. Our country is built on immigrants. This nation stands on being a land of opportunity, open to all. We must hold true to the core values of the United States, stand with the Dreamers, and tell the Trump Administration to defend DACA.

If we want to ensure that Dreamers are kept safe from Donald Trump’s Deportation Force, then Congress must pass the Dream Act. Today, there are nearly 800,000 young immigrants who came to the United States as children and currently have no immigration status. They’re often referred to as Dreamers because the Dream Act would give them a pathway to citizenship. In 2012, President Obama used his executive power to protect Dreamers from deportation and allowed them to work and drive legally in the United States. Since then Dreamers have thrived under DACA, by going to school and contributing back to their local communities and economy. However, several officials within the Trump Administration have indicated that they intend on ending the DACA program - killing the dreams of hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who grew up only knowing America as their home and putting them on a path to deportation. Even Trump’s top immigration official even told Hispanic leaders in Congress to prepare for the worst in regards to DACA. The 2017 Dream Act would allow Dreamers to stay in the United States and apply for citizenship. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Dream Act. Please join with us and sign this petition.
