Sample letter below - or write your own
Dear Chairman Salinas and Board of Supervisors:
I request a continuance of the vote on S-4a and b, until a more accessible public comment forum can be made available for those who work. Denying American Citizens their voice on this issue simply because they can not attend on such short notice in the middle of a work day leaves out a huge constituency that has not had the opportunity to speak on S-4a and b resolutions.
You have been honored to represent the constituents who have elected you. You're only charge is to represent those constituents. Your opposition to SB1070 does not represent your constituents position. You are violating your charge of keeping your constituents safe and protected. You are choosing to represent and support a population who is here illegally. This not only fails to protect your constituents, but has also resulted in tax payer expense that has spiral out of control and is unsustainable.
The resolution S-4a that you have drafted in opposition to SB 1070, does not represent the belief and concerns of your constituents regarding illegal aliens. You are in contrast to what is the existing federal law and you are out of touch with the support of the majority of the citizens of this county and the United States who stand with Govern Brewer. I support a resolution in the interest of ALL American Citizens; secure our borders first and protect Americans Citizens and US Sovereignty.
Your Name

Ca - Monterey County - Vote to repeal 1070, want Amnesty
Resolution S-4a - repeal AZ SB 1070
Before the Board of Supervisors in and for the
County of Monterey, State of California
Resolution No.
Resolution urging the State of Arizona
to repeal SB 1070, the "Support Our
Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods
Act," and directs the Clerk of the Board
to send a copy of this resolution to
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.
WHEREAS, the County of Monterey has historically supported policies that prohibit discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and disability; and
WHEREAS, the United States Government is responsible for immigration laws and enforcement; and
WHEREAS, on April 23, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070
(Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act), requiring all local law
enforcement to investigate a person's immigration status when there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is in the Country unlawfully, regardless of whether that person is suspected of a crime; and
WHEREAS, SB 1070 permits the arrest of a person, without a warrant, if there is probable cause to believe that the person has committed a public offense; and
WHEREAS, SB 1070 does not prohibit law enforcement officers from relying on race, ethnicity, national origin or language to determine whom to investigate; and
WHEREAS, SB 1070 encourages racial profiling and violates Fourteenth Amendment guarantees of due process and equal protection for U.S. citizens, legal residents and visitors who are detained for suspicion of being in the Country unlawfully; and
WHEREAS, on April 29, 2010 Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed HB 2162 which, among other things, amended SB 1070 by prohibiting law enforcement from checking immigration status unless subsequent to a lawful stop and precluded the consideration of race, color or national origin when implementing SB 1070, except as permitted by the U.S. or Arizona Constitution; and
WHEREAS, federal, state or local funds should not be used to support immigration programs that promote racial profiling and discrimination based on race, ethnicity or national origin or any other form of discrimination; and
WHEREAS, SB 1070 and HB 2162 seriously undermine the U.S. Constitution and are preempted by Federal Law, which grant Congress exclusive power over immigration legislation; and
WHEREAS, SB 1070 and HB 2162 conflict and therefore create confusing guidance to law enforcement that will result in unequal treatment and an unconstitutional application of these laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors for and on behalf of the people of the County of Monterey, urges the State of Arizona to repeal SB 1070, the "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act," and directs the Clerk of the Board to send a copy of this resolution to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that by adoption of this Resolution, the County of Monterey hereby includes in its Federal Legislative Program opposition to any budgetary action or legislation, including immigration policy, that promotes racial profiling or discrimination based, on race, ethnicity or national origin.

S-4b - Amnesty H.R. 4321 or (CIR ASAP) http://www.opencongre...
Before the Board of Supervisors in and for the
County of Monterey, State of California
Resolution No.:
Resolution calling upon the United States
Congress to pass, and President Obama to
Sign, a just and humane comprehensive
immigration reform bill in 2010.
WHEREAS, we should strive to provide the framework for achieving fair and humane policies to fix our broken immigration system and we strongly support comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to U.S. citizenship for those immigrants who have played by the rules and are contributing to our society. We also envision a system which promotes family reunification and reduces immigration backlogs; provides a meaningful opportunity for immigrant students to pursue a college education; protects our national security with effective and fair enforcement measures; and promotes the civic integration of newcomers; and
WHEREAS, we also believe that comprehensive immigration reform provides an important opportunity to ensure that our nation’s naturalization process is accessible and affordable for all eligible legal permanent residents. We must make fundamental changes in our system of financing immigration services to address the exorbitant naturalization fee which is putting the dream of U.S. citizenship beyond the reach of many newcomers. We must enhance our national security and the efficiency of the naturalization process by providing for greater accountability in the background checks that are conducted on applicants for U.S. citizenship. We must promote fair policies and procedures for assessing the English language and civics skills of naturalization applicants. Finally, we must establish a national program to promote U.S. citizenship and help community organizations provide a wide range of naturalization education, outreach and assistance services to our nation’s newcomers; and
WHEREAS, according to the Migration Policy Institute, as of 2008, there were an estimated 37.9 million immigrants living in the United States; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately 12 million undocumented immigrants who work in the United States who are easy prey for economic exploitation by immoral employers; this affects the wages and working conditions of everyone, regardless of status; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately five million United States citizens whose families contain undocumented immigrants; these families live in constant fear that current immigration law may lead to their families being torn apart; and
WHEREAS, according to the 2005-2007 American Community Survey, more than one quarter (27%) of California residents are immigrants, a rate higher than any other state in the nation. This amounts to 9.9 million immigrant residents in California, 43% of California’s immigrants are citizens. Immigrants and their children make up 41% of California’s population. Of all children in California 48% have at least one immigrant parent. Most non-citizens (70%) live in households that also have citizens. About 75% of non-citizen Latinos live in households with citizens and about 60% of Asian non-citizens live in mixed status households; and
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2009, Representatives Solomon Ortiz (D-TX) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) introduced the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009 (CIR ASAP), a piece of legislation developed from the work of civil rights advocates, labor organizations and Congressional members; and
WHEREAS, the CIR ASAP bill includes reforms on (i) border security, detention conditions, and enforcement activities; (ii) employment authorization; (iii) visa processing; (iv) legalization of undocumented immigrants; (v) strengthening America’s workforce; and (vi) integrating new citizens; and
WHEREAS, the Campaign to Reform Immigration for America, a consortium of more than 600 organizations from around the nation supporting comprehensive immigration reform, supports the CIR ASAP bill; and
WHEREAS, just and humane immigration reform should include a path to citizenship for all people willing to lawfully participate in the citizenship application process; and
WHEREAS, immigrant advocates, including the Campaign to Reform Immigration for America, are happy that there is bipartisan support for comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate, but want to ensure that this bipartisan effort will include the promotion of family unification, workers rights, economic opportunity, and national security; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that tens of thousands of demonstrators rallied in Washington in support of comprehensive immigration reform on March 21, 2010 and on that date, President Obama responded to demonstrators by reaffirming his commitment to immigration reform; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Monterey County Board of Supervisors hereby expresses its commitment to all the citizens of the County of Monterey by reaffirming our commitment to immigration reform in order to fix problems such as families being separated, employers abusing the system and police officers struggling to keep communities safe;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors and all its citizens thereof calls upon the United States Congress to pass and President Obama to sign a just and humane comprehensive immigration reform bill in 2010.
