ID's for Illegals in Phoenix

[Cigar]

Don't think ID's for illegals will get any traction for an actual vote at a city council meeting? The media is laying all the ground work to play to the sympathetic  hearts of the public: From an article today on the AZ RAG: "The spike in hate crimes targeting Hispanics that many observers anticipated after passage of Arizona's immigration-enforcement law has not materialized, although advocates stress that many crimes against Hispanics go unreported because of the very nature of the law, which critics say discourages undocumented residents from making contact with law-enforcement or government agencies. Will RidersUSA be able to fight this like we did Prop 202?

Citizenship for the 11 Million Is Our Bottom Line

'Gang of 8' in the Senate that citizenship is our bottom line.

Friend --

Did you see Adam’s email? The immigration debate is kicking off and we have to make our demands clear from the beginning.

I hope you’ll add your name to our petition to the Senators craftin.... They need to hear that our bottom line is a roadmap to citizenship for 11 million people in the U.S. without papers!

Thanks,

Patty --

A new poll just came out, showing that over 60% of Americans support creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.^[1]

The American people support it, Democrats promised it, and Republicans need it so they can begin repairing their standing with Latino and immigrant voters. Now we have have to make our demands crystal clear.

A bipartisan group of eight Senators has just stepped up to create the framework for immigration reform next year and they need to hear from us.^[2]

Tell leaders in the Senate: any immigration reform proposal must include a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million people living in the United States without papers.

This year's election sent a clear and decisive message—Latino, Asian, and immigrant community voters are a force to be reckoned with and neither party can afford to delay on immigration reform. The creation of this bipartisan group is the first concrete step toward turning that message into action.

Tell these Senators that they must include a path to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants who call this country home.

The only way to ensure that Congress passes the kind of immigration reform proposal we want is to make our demands known every step of the way.

We have our work cut out for us -- some of these Senators voted against the DREAM Act. But now all eight are saying they want to tackle the issue. We’re in a new era and our movement has proven that we have the power to win.

I know that we won’t give up until we do,
