The American immigration system is broken and hurting families, workers and the economy. What we need is a distinctly American solution, one that combines fairness, accountability, dignity and an ethic of getting things done.
It's time to stand up to the extremists who want to expel 12,000,000 hard working immigrants and fight for a practical immigration solution rooted in the restoration of the rule of law, earned citizenship, united families and fair treatment for all workers.
President Obama supports immigration reform, but only Congress has the power to pass legislation. Tell Congress: "It's time to fix the broken immigration system. Pass comprehensive immigration reform this year!"
Now is the time, this is the year -- we need our leaders to lead. Act now to help fix America's broken immigration system.
We took action on “Reform America's Broken Immigration System”!

Americans too often forget that in the West Mexicans owned Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. Mexicans have been part of American life for a long time. The illegals are desperate people trying to find a better life for themselves and their families. They deserve compassion, not scorn.
Let's deport the illegals in a humane manner devoid of racism.

I live on the Border. I've seen countless numbers of illegals climb the fence or run thru the desert after being dropped off by ruthless "coyotes". It's a pathetic system. The authorities look away. Our solution is to avoid resolving a problem which is clearly out of control. Why doesn't the government take hold of the situation?

Because no human being is illegal.
