To address the horror stories of families broken up due to deportations and imprisonment. We must stop the exploitation of workers here illegally and make certain their children are allowed full access to our public schools. Our future is at stake.

Since Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda 1.9 million of Filipinos have become homeless and 600,000 displaced. At the same time, many Filipinos who live and work in the U.S. are a key source of aid for their families in the Philippines and are at risk of deportation. It would only burden an already strained infrastructure for the Philippines to reabsorb thousands of its nationals currently abroad during this national emergency. TPS would stop deportations and provide working authorization that will empower Filipinos here in the US to more effectively aid their own home country. DHS and USCIS acted quickly in a very similar circumstances to designate Haiti and El Salvador for TPS after massive earthquakes. That response can and should be repeated for the Philippines.

I feel that the government is targeting the wrong people to deport. American is built by its immigrants moving into this country and enriching it with its diversities. If we force families to split and destroy hard working people by sending them away, what message is America sending. Deport the immigrants that have committed crimes out of the country, not heard working people that have done nothing wrong but sought refuge in us when they were in need.

Where is Speaker Boehner? For three weeks, a group of activists have been praying and going without food in plain view of the Capitol building in order to call attention to the House's inaction on immigration reform. Surviving only on water, the fasters--led by SEIU, immigrant rights and labor leader Eliseo Medina--have already received personal visits from President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Republican members of Congress, including Rep. Jeff Denham and Rep. David Valadao. During these three weeks, as the fasters get weaker and weaker, the leader of the House -- Speaker John Boehner -- is nowhere to be seen. Every day that Speaker Boehner refuses to allow a vote on immigration reform means another 1,100 aspiring Americans will be ripped apart from their families and communities. Speaker Boehner should visit the fasters and commit to a vote on immigration reform. These longterm fasters and thousands of other solidarity fasters across the U.S. are taking desperate measures in order to stand up for the 11 million aspiring Americans the House has neglected. These fasters deserve a personal visit from Speaker Boehner and a pledge from him to act on reform.

one of my family members, he is facing deportation, for his past criminal arrests that had been take care off allready.

Hector is the father of two young United States citizens and the sole provider for his family, but immigration officials in the Obama administration are planning to deport him on Friday, Nov. 29 -- the day after Thanksgiving. Please join us in telling ICE director, John Sandweg, to stop Hector's deportation. Help us keep this family together. Hector was racially profiled by immigration officials, while driving to a weekly bible study group in a neighbor's home with his family and friends. He was arrested by ICE in front of his family in the yard where the bible study takes place. This is an absolutely outrageous and unconstitutional arrest and Hector's pending deportation violates the Obama Administration's own prosecutorial discretion policies. Immigration officials have gone way too far. Their overaggressive racial profiling raids need to stop. Please join us and help keep this family together this holiday season.

Now is the time for our members of congress to stop dragging their feet and support a comprehensive immigration reform that will help millions of families to come out of the shadows and fully participate in our communities. In the past month several Republicans have done what many thought impossible. As Republicans, they decided to put families over politics and signed on to the comprehensive immigration reform bill H.R. 15. This is an opportunity for Speaker Boehner to do the same. We need him to also be a leader and put families over politics. Though there is enough support in Congress to pass immigration reform, Speaker Boehner recently stated that it will not be going up for a vote until 2014. This stance may prove costly for him and his party. According to several studies, 71 Percent of Americans Favor Immigration Reform. With the focus of the political world now shifted toward the 2014 elections, new polls show that a majority of voters across the country – including in 12 key battleground states – will hold elected officials accountable at the ballot box if they do not support immigration reform. More than half of Americans – 54 percent – said they were less likely to support an elected official who opposed reform, compared with just 17 percent who were more likely to support a reform opponent. Now is the time to do the right thing and put families over politics.

House Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 190 members of Congress have signed on as cosponsors! But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need more Republican support. Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Richard Hanna, is part of the group of House Republicans who are open to immigration reform. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow. We know Rep. Hanna is ready to listen to you and our movement. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Hanna to stand by all immigrants -- not just some. He needs to join the more than 190 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill! We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Hanna into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Hanna on board, your district could make all the difference for the millions without papers across the nation. The momentum is on our side because enough votes exist in the House to pass reform today. But instead Speaker Boehner hides behind excuses, delays, and flat-out refuses to give us a vote. We've come too far to stop now. Tell Rep. Hanna to stand up for all immigrants by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!

For immigrants to be able to run for president despite there national origin or place of birth, and for equal opportunity for all Americans.

House Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors! But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there. Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Joe Heck, is part of a group of Republicans who are open to immigration reform. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow. However, Rep. Heck supports legalization for the 11 million-- "as long as a bill includes strict border and visa enforcement”—but has not taken a stance on citizenship. But that's simply not enough. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and the time for vagueness is over. Rep. Heck needs to instead stand for all aspiring Americans by joining the more than 180 House members and cosponsoring this new immigration bill! We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Heck into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Heck on board, your district could make all the difference for the millions without papers across the nation. The momentum is on our side because enough votes exist in the House to pass reform today. But instead Speaker Boehner hides behind excuses, delays, and flat-out refuses to give us a vote. We've come too far to stop now. Tell Rep. Heck to stand up for his district by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!

This year, we have come the closest ever to achieving real immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship. In June, the U.S. Senate passed a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration bill (S.744). Unfortunately, the Republican leadership in the House continues to delay a vote that could complete the dream for 11 million aspiring Americans by addressing our nation’s broken immigration system. Immigration reform activists have committed to a daily fast in front of the U.S. Capitol and at locations across the country to send a clear and visible message to Congress about the moral crisis caused by our country’s broken immigration system and its impact on millions of families. The thousands of fasters are being led by Eliseo Medina of the SEIU, Dae Joong Yoon of National Korean American Service and Education Consortium, Cristian Avila of Mi Familia Vota, Lisa Sharon Harper of Sojourners, and Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Luis Gutierrez, Joseph Kennedy, Senator Chuck Schumer and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack have all visited the tent to show their support for the fasters. Author and activist Gloria Steinem and the Rev. Jesse Jackson have also visited the tent to stand in solidarity with the fasters. Over 3000 are taking part in fasts in more than 180 events across the country, with numbers growing every day. Evening vigils are held at 6 p.m. in the community tent, located on the National Mall, and all are welcome to show their solidarity with those fasting for immigration tent by visiting, sending a message to the fasters, or by signing a pledge to fast.
