America needs to provide a timely path to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants. As a teacher of many students learning English as a second language, I have witnessed the suffering of their families, many of whom have struggled for over a decade to become full fledged participants in our society.

, I especialy think that these children who were brought here when they were babies or todlers should be given a chance at citizenship and schools. I also think in the debate about imagration NAFTA has to be renegotiated. If American companies go to other countries they should pay the workers a fair wage, so they have more of a incentive to stay in thier own countries.

Linda Serafini-Gale is a bilingual/ESL teacher in a suburb of Houston, TX and worked with parents to help their children succeed. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA Linda grew up noticing how her Latino friends were treated: directed to homemaking and shop classes in school, and called names like "stupid" and worse. In those days, none of her Latino friends dreamed of going to college—it felt beyond their reach. Yesterday, thanks to people power across the country, a bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill for comprehensive immigration reform. This is a major moment to celebrate—and it is a moment to act!

I am Immigrant enjoying been an American citizen for 39 years.

Stand in support of immigration reform with a speedy, clear pathway to citizenship for all 11 million aspiring Americans.

We applaud the Senate "Gang of Eight" for their tireless work in negotiating and drafting immigration reform legislation and we welcome the introduction of a realistic common-sense Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill.

Over 95,000 Californians (that's over sixty people a day!) have been deported under Secure Communities, a federal immigration program designed to meet a federal deportation quota. In order to meet the deportation quota, federal ICE Agents target anybody who they can - including food street vendors and victims of domestic abuse. Why We Want the TRUST ACT to Pass: ­–The TRUST Act will help stop our family members from being deported. –The TRUST Act will help improve public safety. –The TRUST Act will be a spur for meaningful immigration reform at the national level. –The TRUST Act will help us save valuable local resources. Let’s rebuild trust in our community members and stop police from becoming immigration agents. Let’s keep our families together. Sign the petition and demand Jerry Brown sign the TRUST Act into law.

Separating family members due to immigration status would undermine the mental health, functioning and well-being of family members, and, thereby, ultimately our communities. Immigration reform should protect and preserve family unity.

I'm a life-long Republican and fifth-generation Arizonan. Nobody wants illegal immigration to exist. But immigrating legally is too hard! People I know and love become scofflaws because the bar is too high. You can change that.

Reverse the foolish notion that if you make living in the US hell for undocumented and overstays, that they will 'give up' and sacrifice what our Supreme Court deemed all that makes life worth living and return to counties without hope, futures or security.

Arrived from Mexico in 1989 and still undocumented. This is the time for a reform to change the status of milliions of hard working people that contribute unequivocally for a better America.

Our foreign policies have always created an unfair advantage for third-world nations and resulted in increased emigrations from the devastated homelands to countries where there was a better chance to survive.
