We, the undersigned, believe the time is now for comprehensive immigration reform via a humane, streamlined road map to citizenship for over 11 million aspiring Americans. We believe in a system where families are able to stay together, work hard, pay their taxes, educate themselves, and contribute to the economic fiber of this country. We ask you to vote for comprehensive, humane, streamlined immigration reform.
Why is this important?
As a teacher of many students who were learning English as a second language, I have witnessed the suffering of their families, many of whom have struggled for a decade or two to become full-fledged contributors to our society. America needs to provide a timely path to citizenship for all aspiring Americans.
