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.

The "gang of 8" wants no more than about 25% more future legal immigration than we have now. Calling that "reform" is like saying "we are doing immigrants a great big huge favor, to allow any to come at all." Meanwhile economists are telling us the more legal immigration we allow, the more dramatically our economy will grow; the better jobs there will be for citizens; and the more taxes we will collect towards our crushing deficit. America needs immigrants more desperately than immigrants need America.

Our legislators need to understand how much this nation will benefit from providing a path to citizenship for the millions of hard-working community members and their families.

I as an educator/teacher have been personally affected when I see so many of my good, good ex students facing the fear of being deported to a country they do not know, not only that but been separated from their families. Families who have being here for many, many years and contributed to our society. Please give them their permit to remain in this wonderful country made by immigrants.

America was created and built by immigrants. Citizenship should be easy and quick for our hard-working immigrants.

Reform that includes binational spouses of all American citizens.

I am starting this petition because I want to make sure the 11 million immigrants in this country get a chance at the American Dream. I want your support in this immigration bill, to help save families from being separated as was mine in 2010, when my husband went through the very emotional immigration process. I feel no child should have to spend a birthday, Easter or any day without their parent because of our broken immigration system.
