Thread: The UFW Chimes In For Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Thank President Obama for beginning immigration reform fight.

Read today's NY Times & send your e-mail today.

On the front page of today's New York Times, the Obama Administration committed to push comprehensive immigration reform this year.

This is big news, and it’s vital for farm workers whose daily labor feeds this nation. Even in this economy, they do the hardest, most difficult jobs that others won't do. Their sweat and sacrifice help feed this nation. Yet, they are faced with fear and intimidation because many employers use the threat of deportation to ensure their silence.

Together we can put an end to the underground economy, create a path to citizenship and get every worker and every employer operating on a level playing field.

For too long, an anti-immigrant lobby has blocked reform and created a climate of heightened racial tensions and fear that have set our country back. Now is the time is now to unite as a country and rebuild America together. Together we can counter the likes of Lou Dobbs and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who have set our country back by spreading fear and hatred of Latinos and immigrants.

It is no surprise that this anti-immigrant lobby has already begun a campaign to intimidate the President and top leaders -- and put a stop to reform. Please join tens of thousands of Americans in telling the President that you stand ready to support comprehensive immigration reform.

Please e-mail President Obama today and thank him for taking the first step in ensuring farm workers and other low income laborers are able to come out of the shadows. Let him know you are committed to doing whatever you can to help him and Congressional leaders pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation into law.
(A cc of your letter will be sent to Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi).

Si Se Puede!

Please join tens of thousands of Americans in telling the President that you stand ready to support comprehensive immigration reform. -UFW

Ricahard, what do YOU mean by immigration reform?

Do you have a link to this story, Richard? Who wrote it? Thanks.

Im sick of this "shadows" garbage....whine, whine, whine...tell it to someone
who cares! Apparently, all the pandering
politicians "care" seeing this as a huge voting block and putting their
futures on the line for it.

Thanks, Richard.

It really cracks me up with all this BS talk about coming out of the shadows. Just go to the nearest Walmart, convenience store, shopping mall, movie theater, slum, major city, fast food joint, restaurant, etc, and tell me if they are living in the shadows. Go visit LA or CA period and tell me if they are in the shadows. When they did their million illegals march a couple of years ago they sure as heck didn't look like they were in the shadows to me. If they were living in the shadows that would mean they are too scared to come out to steal our identities, steal our jobs, suck our resources dry and rob, rape and murder our citizenery.

This in the shadows talk is nothing, but a bunch of horse huey.

And so is 'kicking down the doors in the middle of night and separating families'.
