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!

Edward Laurson signed 2013-02-22 11:50:52 -0800Americans won’t do many of the jobs that immigrants are willing to do yet they want to deport them. That been tried and the problems of farmers and ranchers trying to find good help comes right back to having to hire the same immigrants. The Minutemen should haul their kids out to the fields or construction jobs instead of complaining.

Jim and Barbara Dale signed 2013-02-22 11:49:07 -0800We believe that all persons are worthy of respect and a living wage; that most of us are descended from immigrants, so we have to be hypocritical to discriminate against recent immigrants; that many recent immigrants are here because our trade policies have impoverished them in their home countries, so we have a responsibility to help them feed their families.

Pamela Parker signed 2013-02-22 11:45:16 -0800Some of my family fell victim to the torture and lynchings of the early 1900s. Now the descendents of lynch mobs advocate the same for Latinos. I thought America moved beyond color and ethnicity. I was wrong.
