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!

    The only good thing about this woman is that the “Dream Act” and immigration reform will meet her before she meets her maker. The face of hate and ignorance is ugly.

    How have we not learned to walk on this earth like brothers and sisters? Compassion is not weakness, it’s an attribute of the strong.

    What happened in 06, 07 will not happened again if we speak out against those who have misconceptions and stereotypes about Latinos and all immigrants. If we do not speak out against anti-immigrant organizations and people who advocate for attrition through enforcement, we will have laws like Arizona nationwide and the status quo will be the same when it comes to immigration.


    Remember this:

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Hatred and bigotry fueled through extremism does not work as was evident in the bid to the white house. This is a country of immigrants, more so today than ever, we need better solutions that are only more cost effective but also more humane and fair to deal with the growing problem of illegal immigration.
