MAPA and HML Statement on the Second Death of Immigration Reform Legislation

Los Angeles, CA – The Mexican American Political Association (MAPA) and the Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana (HML) recognize the need for fair and humane immigration reform but found fault in the bill just defeated in the U.S. Senate. Below is the joint statement by Nativo V. Lopez on its “second death:â€

Why dont we just hand them the keys to America as well.

[quote]We call on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to immediately pursue action on the following areas that require reform:

1. Passage of the DREAM ACT;
2. Restoration of the 245(i) clause;
3. Restoration of judicial review rights of immigrants;
4. Passage of an agricultural labor program that affirms FREE labor and immediate permanent resident status;
5. No budget allocation for the construction of a border wall;
6. Immediate permanent resident status for all holders of TPS permits;
7. Repeal of the Patriot Act;

“An immediate moratorium of the random raids and deportations is on the order of the day. Such invasive interventions into the peace of our neighborhoods only result in the separation of families, heightened fear, and the distrust of the government.

“We stand ready to work with all unions, churches, community-based organizations, and immigrant organizations and coalitions that support respect for the integrity of families, family values, and the reunification of families. This is the cornerstone of the immigrant rights movement.â€

1. Passage of the DREAM ACT;

This guy lopez is a real comedian.

This just shows us that we cannot let up for even a minute.

I'm sure if Pelosi had her way she would grant them all their wishes.

The legislation, S.1639, authored by Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kyle, proved to be too flawed to pass muster with the majority of Senate members and the American public—and rightly deserved to die a second death.

A bit of the sour grapes, eh? The pro-illegal community and La Raza pulled out all the stops to get this bill passed. La Raza was practically in the room when the bill was being negotiated. But they never really wanted it anyway!!

To say nothing of Hillary and Obama

I know where they can get all the things on their list . . . in Mexico!

I wonder if these crumbs ever criticize the Mexican legislature.
