Speaker Boehner: Start Leading on Immigration Reform!
Campaign For Community Change
Mr. Speaker,
Last month, Democratic and Republican Senators took an essential first step toward making citizenship a reality for 11 million undocumented immigrants. They worked hard and they worked together, passing a Senate immigration reform bill as proof of their willingness to lead this country.
Speaker Boehner, I am writing to you because you don’t seem serious about advancing much-needed reform for immigrant families. Instead of setting an example for your colleagues in the House, you’re doing nothing to keep families together. Why have you abdicated your responsibility to lead?
Mr. Speaker, it’s time to stop leading from behind on immigration reform. We are the electorate, and we want to see an end to irresponsible immigration policy. The time is now to step up and bring immigration reform to the House floor.

Why is this important?
Just two weeks ago, Senators from both sides of the aisle raised their voices in support of 11 million undocumented immigrants — daughters and sons, students and entrepreneurs. Although the bill isn't perfect, Democrats and Republicans took real leadership to get a bill passed in the Senate.
But the House suffers from a lack of such leadership. Speaker Boehner continues to stall and says he won’t let the House vote on the Senate’s legislation – and obstructing a vote that would keep families together is not what you’d expect from a leader.
Tell Speaker Boehner, “NO MÁS!” It’s time he steps up on immigration reform to keep our families together!
