To have a Presidential Moratorium passed for immigration reform in the United States. To release and return those who have been detained and stop deporting people who are looking for work in the USA. To keep families and friends together. To provide a way to permanent legal status to any significant number of the estimated 11.1 million undocumented immigrants living in the USA.
Why is this important?
We are asking President Obama and his administration to honor their promises and stop the raids on workplaces and sites where day laborers are waiting for work in Illinois and to stop the plan to build a privately owned detention facility in Joliet, IL. Stop ICE commitment to keep 90% capacity on a daily basis and push legislation to give permanent legal status to a significant number of estimated 11.1 million undocumented immigrants living in the USA. To help keep families and friends together.
