Friend --
A new poll just came out, showing that over 60% of Americans support creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.[1]
The American people support it, Democrats promised it, and Republicans need it so they can begin repairing their standing with Latino and immigrant voters. Now we have have to make our demands crystal clear.
A bipartisan group of eight Senators has just stepped up to create the framework for immigration reform next year and they need to hear from us.[2]
Tell leaders in the Senate: any immigration reform proposal must include a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million people living in the United States without papers.
This year's election sent a clear and decisive message—Latino, Asian, and immigrant community voters are a force to be reckoned with and neither party can afford to delay on immigration reform. The creation of this bipartisan group is the first concrete step toward turning that message into action.
Tell these Senators that they must include a path to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants who call this country home.
The only way to ensure that Congress passes the kind of immigration reform proposal we want is to make our demands known every step of the way.
We have our work cut out for us -- some of these Senators voted against the DREAM Act. But now all eight are saying they want to tackle the issue. We’re in a new era and our movement has proven that we have the power to win.
I know that we won’t give up until we do,
