Congressional News

Congress will be on recess for one more week before returning to Washington, DC April 1. Now is the time to keep the pressure on US Representatives to make sure they do not sign the discharge petition on the SAVE Act. For more information about the SAVE Act please contact rstolz@communitychange.org. T

here are 181 signatures on the discharge petition; Republicans need only 218 to force the bill to the floor. Keep the calls coming! The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights launched a full campaign against the SAVE Act last week. To see a video a blog coverage of their campaign, go to http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/200 ... rging.html. Here is a letter to the editor that Fred Tsao of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights published last week: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opin ... rint.story.

In the Senate, a coalition of United States Senators have formed the US Senate Border Security and Enforcement Caucus. To see the members, go to http://vitter.senate.gov/bordersecuritycaucus.html Pressure is also mounting to support an H1B visa renewal. http://blogs.computerworld.com/five_rea ... l_increase (Note that this will continue to grow in significance in coming months as the business community maneuvers to get the Democratic Leadership to renew these visas without hitching it to broader immigration reform proposals.)

How dare the Americans think that they actually have got the right to have citizens rights.



Well at least they are saying "put pressure on US Representatives" and not "our representatives".
