To: The United States House of Representatives
Tell Congress: It's time to pass comprehensive immigration reform
The comprehensive immigration reform bill that passed the Senate is a fair mix of proposals to secure our borders while providing immigrants an opportunity to give back to this great nation they already call home. The House should pass it.
Why is this important?
One of the first soldiers I lost in Iraq wasn't an American citizen.
His story began like many others who come to this country seeking a better life while giving back to their communities. Some do it through public service jobs and volunteerism, others in our churches and community centers.
He chose to do it through military service, but he lacked citizenship when he made his Final Journey home -- despite the fact his sacrifice for our nation was just as enduring as those born here.
Comprehensive immigration reform recently passed the U.S. Senate but remains stuck, waiting for the House of Representatives to take action.
Add your name to mine and urge the House to take immediate action.
