Latino immigrant "babies can join a gang, latino babies grow up."

Don't let this absurdity drive immigration reform!
Jim Gilchrist, MINUTEMEN

Latino immigrants "are bottomless feeders."

Don't let this racism drive immigration reform!
Harry Hughes, NEO-NAZIS

Latino immigrants are "disposable, throw-away people."

Don't let this hate drive immigration reform!
Scott Powelson, CCIR

Latino "immigrants are criminals and are importing corruption."

Don't let this fear-mongering drive immigration reform!
Rush Limbaugh

"A full 75% of voting hispanics believe prosperity is the job of the government."

Don't let these lies drive immigration reform!
Ann Coulter

"Immigrants who come to this country instantly have illegitimate children."

Don't let this racism drive immigration reform."
Bill O'Reilly

"If we legalize immigrants who are here they get more on the welfare entitlement train."

Don't let this fear-mongering drive immigration reform!
Neil Cavuto

"Releasing immigrants from detention is dumb."


Don't let this absurdity drive immigration reform!

Don’t let anti-immigrant rhetoric drive the immigration debate. Nativist, racist and fear-mongering hate groups are working hard to drive their narrative on immigration. For years now, anti-immigrant groups have successfully infused their message into the national immigration debate. Influencing local politicians and national figures - with the same talking points: "More punishment", "Militarize the border", "Massive deportations", "More Enforcement." This has resulted in dangerous policies that have led to flagrant violation of human rights.

It is time we put basic immigrant, human rights back in the forefront of our national values and priorities! Let Congress and the President know that to reform immigration they must prioritize "Immigrant rights before enforcement."Add your name and message - make sure your voice is heard!

    All people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect! I was born and raised in San Francisco and in the 1940’s and 50’s we were taught in school that when the treaty was signed with Mexico annexing California in 1848 Spanish was the official language of California for ever. We were all bilingual and there was a respect for the Californio’s who were descendants of the “original” Latino people who were living in California before the war with Mexico. If you are not a native American or a Californio then you have no right to complain about the “illegal immigrants”! I love the tee shirts and signs that show Geronimo with the Statement “Show me your papers!”

    “Hey, guess what folks? The Latinos didn’t cross the border; the border crossed them! California used to be Mexico before the border was established. The ones who were left stateside must have looked around and said, ‘I guess we stay.’” — Ralphie May, comedian. ~~ I know a beautiful young woman who was brought to the states when she was four months old. She wants to finish college and be an eye doctor. She wants to work with children to make sure they all have good vision while growing up. She is not a gang member. She is a gentle, gracious woman who gives of herself to others in need. She wants to make a positive difference in the lives of those she encounters. It was an honor to be a part of helping her get her green card and establish her citizenship here. She is an amazing woman and I am proud to know her!

    We are all immigrants. If you don’t want people doing the things that your forefathers did, cede the entire United States back to the Native population that lived here originally.

    Fascism is flourishing in the USA.

    We need a “Department of Peace”. There needs to be an entrenched part of the bureaucracy in Washington for Peace. That and some honesty in advertising, like undoing the post war II, 1947 name change from the Dept of “War” to Dept of “Defense” may help US citizens regain the courage to face our true realities.

    THIS IS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS THE ONLY REASON ITS ILLEGAL IS TO STRIP AWAY THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS FROM THOSE WHO COME TO THIS COUNTRY SEEKING A BETTER LIFE. I AM AN IMMIGRANT AND I AM PROUD OF WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED AND SEE THAT SOME OF THE SO CALLED REAL AMERICANS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE AND SACRIFICE AS MUCH AS THEY THINK THEY DO. IMMIGRANTS HAVE MADE CALIFORNIA FROM THE TOP (YAHOO,GOOGLE, FORMER GOVERNORS) TO THE BOTTOM (PROUCE PICKERS, CUSTODIAL WORKERS,ETC.).
