Immigrant teenagers that have lived in America for most of their life's, and have worked hard in school and have been accepted in to College shouldn't be deported. Someones hard work shouldn't be wasted because of their immigration status.

My cousin, a Swedish national, is stranded in Germany! The US of A will not let her back into the country to be with her husband ( A United States Naval Vet) and children after she went to Sweden to get medical treatment! She did not burden the American system, she did not break any laws, she is not a terrorist, yet my country is treating her as if she were an outlaw. If you are married to an American citizen, you should have every right to be be with that person, irregardless of your VISA status. Every American, with the exception of native Indians, was once an immigrant. I understand that there have to be rules, but there also has to be an exception to every rule. Shame on us for depriving a 9 year old of his mother for the next three years. Every country in Europe recognizes marriage and would not separate a mother from her son, a wife from her husband. And to top it off, the American consulate tells her, they are not here to answer questions. If anyone has any idea about what one should do in a situation like this, please post your comment. I love my cousin dearly, she is always welcome to stay with me in Germany, but I would be so much happier if I knew she was at home in the US with her family, where she belongs. Today, I am not proud to be an American

Since Hurricane Katrina, migrant day laborers in New Orleans have been doing jobs to rebuild the city. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are conducting raids and surveillance on these workers instead of respecting workers' Constitutional rights to be free from racial discrimination, seek work on public streets, and to peaceably assemble. Now, two workers—Marlon and Jose—are facing imminent deportation for defending their right to organize! But it's not too late to stop their deportation. Marlon was targeted by plain-clothed ICE agents while looking for work. Jose was targeted by an undercover agent posed as a contractor looking for workers. Neither men have criminal backgrounds and both operations were in violation of ICE’s own polices on enforcement priorities. Marlon and Jose are going up against ICE in Immigration Court and need your support. If ICE knows Marlon and Jose have public support on their side, they'll be more likely to close the case. Please join us in telling ICE to stop the deportation of Marlon and Jose.

Without immigration reform that treats children, women and families fairly, many of the estimated 5.5 million children who are in families with mixed immigration status live in fear of a parent being taken away from them at any moment.

The August recess is coming to a close and the House of Representatives have yet to move a immigration reform bill that includes a pathway to citizenship. We need Rep. Barton to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

The August recess is coming to a close and the House of Representatives have yet to move a immigration reform bill that includes a pathway to citizenship. It's time to stand up to the extremists who want to expel 12,000,000 hard working immigrants and fight for a practical immigration solution rooted in the restoration of the rule of law, earned citizenship, united families and fair treatment for all workers. Tell Rep. Johnson: "It's time to fix the broken immigration system. Pass comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship this year! Now is the time, this is the year -- we need our leaders to lead. Act now to help fix America's broken immigration system.

Jose Perez is the father of 4 children; three of which are U.S. citizens. He does not have a criminal record and was arrested when the police mistook him for an alleged suspect. Though cleared of all wrongdoing, he still faces deportation. Jose is a responsible person who pays his taxes and has maintained the same job for the past 7 years. He volunteers at his church and is an active member of the community group Familias Unidas.

Oppose this so called "SAFE Act" it proposes to give power to each individual state in regards to immigration issues. It not only re-hashes Arizona's AB 1070 but actually makes it worse! It's a blatant attack on our 14th amendment rights. We need to make our legislators know by September 9th, 2013 ( this is when they return to D.C. from their recess) that their constituents DO NOT support this type of legislation. Take further action and call your own Representative and let them know to oppose the SAFE Act! All the phone numbers to their DC office are located at (http://www.house.gov/representatives/)

I work with undocumented immigrants every week in a free ESL class in Phoenix -- many of them have been in the US since they were children. These are hard-working people who love this country and contribute as much as any solid citizen. They need a champion. The Senate Bill isn't perfect, but it would accomplish the basic structures needed to bring about justice for these immigrants. It just needs a vote in the House of Representatives to make it into law.

The Senate passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill in June providing a roadmap to citizenship for many immigrants, increased border security and a way to fix the broken immigration system. However, since the bill passed the Senate in June, the House had not taken any action to pass a similar Comprehensive Immigration Bill. Speaker John Boehner has insisted since this Spring that the Senate's CIR bill would never make it to the House of Representatives and he and his colleagues have made good on this promise. However, the House could introduce a discharge petition, gain support from fellow members and force a floor vote on the legislation members of the House of Representatives to vote on the Senate's Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill on the floor. Unfortunately, while many House Democrats have voiced support for signing such a discharge petition, none have yet shown the leadership to actually introduce it. We need one brave soul to take the lead. A coalition of progressive and social justice groups including MoveOn.org, America's Voice, 18Million Rising, We Belong Together, and CREDO Action, have committed to mobilizing our combined 15 million members in support of a discharge petition on comprehensive immigration reform. We hope you will join us in urging Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to take the courage and leadership by introducing a discharge petition and making it possible to bring the Senate Immigration legislation to the House floor.
