If You Don't Speak Up, They Will Speak For You...

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!

    Immigrant rights are human rights. Except for those who were brought to this county enslaved and in chains, we are all immigrants. We are all mothers and fathers who care about our children and our communities.

    New immigrant groups have always been the target of hate groups and bigots – the Irish, the Italians, Jews, Asians, and now immigrants from the Mideast and Hispanics. Meanwhile, those haters are enjoying the products of the labor of our newest citizens, who work for low wages. How will they afford strawberries when there are no more immigrants willing to do back-breaking labor all day in the hot sun?

    I find the kinds of statements made by these ignorant individuals appalling. All of them descended from immigrants and colonizers. What makes them think they have natural rights when their claims are built upon the theft of land and liberty from indigenous peoples. Our economy is dependent upon immigrant labor—ask agribusiness (behind closed doors, of course). Immigrants work, pay taxes, bolster the intellectual, artistic and economic landscape of this country and are as deserving of basic human rights as any of us. It’s this type of ignorance that has led to some of the greatest atrocities in human history. It’s time we develop kindness, compassion, empathy and open minds and hearts.

    ..How about we round up all the bigots, racists, redneck fools and clowns and ship them back to Europe? After all, these people claiming the U.S. as theirs must have forgotten how whites stole this land from aboriginals. I am white, but I also have aboriginal native blood in me. I despise these false proclaimers of what they believe to be theirs..
