Are you a man? What if the United States only gave immigration visas to men? That would be pretty unfair, wouldn’t it? It would exclude a lot of good people for no good reason. Our current immigrations laws don’t limit visas to men. But we do give most of our visas for jobs overwhelming performed by men. Jobs dominated by women workers – like nannies or nurses or home care workers – get very few visas. On Monday, March 18th Senator Hirono is holding a Judiciary Committee hearing on Women and Immigration, and immigrant women will finally get the attention they deserve. This is the first time during the current immigration reform debate that a hearing has been convened on this issue. Our failure to do so in the past is one reason our current laws hurt immigrant women. Please click here to thank Senator Hirono for her bold leadership to ensure that immigrant women are finally getting heard by the United States Senate. We are often quick to criticize our elected officials. But when they step up and do the right thing, they deserve our appreciation. For the next few months, we will be doing everything we can to inform the public and our Representatives in Congress about the ways in which women will be affected by reforms to our immigration system. This hearing is a great place to start. Thank you for joining us.

Excessive penalties, on Unemployment Ins.

Many people in just the Orlando region don't have a personal car or they have an invalid driver's license. By increasing the number of commuter rail and local/express buses, people can get to work on time, students can get to class on time and many would rely on public transportation which benefits not only the public but the local government as well. This will also decrease the number of DUI's and car accidents. This will save thousands of live's. Please take this message in consideration.
