Sen. Pryor and Sen. Boozman,
I sign this petition to strongly urge you to SUPPORT S. 744 and comprehensive immigration reform. As a proud Arkansan, I firmly believe that the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 would help our state's families and economy.
I pledge, as an Arkansas registered voter, to vote in November 2014 and remember how my Senators voted this year on comprehensive immigration reform and S. 744.

Why is this important?
As an Arkansan, I believe that Arkansas needs comprehensive, just and humane immigration reform this year because immigration reform is first and foremost about families and the moral crisis that our broken immigration system has had every day on Arkansas communities. Arkansas immigrant families have a significant positive impact on our economy – for every dollar Arkansas state and local governments spend on immigrants, our state economy gains seven in return – and both as their co-workers, employers and consumers, we want to retain these contributions and foster Arkansas’ economic future.
As an Arkansas, I also believe that real immigration reform must include:
• A path to citizenship for all members of our community
• Reuniting families and reducing immigration backlogs
• Opportunities for safe, future migration and worker protections
• Border policies that respect border and immigrant communities
• Fair enforcement policies that respect the safety and security of all
• Fundamental due process
• Opportunities to recognize immigrants’ full potential
I stand with other Arkansans to assert that we will not forget or forgive those who stand for policies that delay immediate action to end the destruction of our families or protect our economy.
