I know several families that have been waiting for decades to see immigration reform so they can get out of the shadows, and feel like they are normal and useful people to this country. Many of them have american children, have paid taxes every year, have helped the economy, and also have clean police records. My wife and I went through immigration proceedings to be removed from this country of my daughters, and were extremely lucky to stay. Today I beg to The House of Representatives for all the 11 million immigrants without status, to approve a strong comprehensive immigration reform with a clear path to citizenship for them. Right now there is no solution for them and their children, and I don't want them to go through what I did as an immigrant. Legislators be fair with these famiklies, this country is made of immigrants since the beginning of the American History.

For two years, I was housemates with a woman born in the US, her husband who was born in Guatemala, and their wonderful US born son. I was proud to vote in the same polling station with R when he became a US citizen, and I hope that millions of other residents of our country will have similar opportunities.

Comprehensive immigration reform is dying a slow death in Congress because House Speaker Boehner—who has the power to demand an up-or-down vote on the reform bill—refuses to get out of the way. But there is a simple way that Democrats can bypass Boehner and save immigration reform. They can introduce the Senate bill, which passed with broad bipartisan support, then use a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote in the House of Representatives. A discharge petition is the most viable option to pass comprehensive immigration reform this fall. It only takes 218 votes to file a discharge petition—that's every Democrat in Congress and 17 Republicans. Support for the discharge petition is growing in the media and among members of Congress.

We need Congress to by pass John Boehner to get comprehensive immigration reform passed. The means to that end is to file a discharge petition. This petition is asking Michigan Representative Dan Kildee to support and file a discharge petition. 11 million Dreamers are counting on us to get this done yesterday.

No

Yes

I would like legislators to stand up on the right side of history, and support the majority of Americans who favor comprehensive immigration reform now.

My family will be affected if the immigration reform is not passed. It is imperitive the government fixes this broken immigration system an stop splitting families!

The Senate passed a strong comprehensive immigration reform bill. Immigration reform will strengthen our economy, keep families together, and offer a clear roadmap to citizenship for nearly 11 million tax-paying, aspiring Americans. As an American citizen, and the child of immigrant parents, I want legislators to stand up on the right side of history, and side with the majority of Americans that need comprehensive immigration reform NOW.
