Prospective Americans welcome presidential and congressional action

On the eve of an announcement by President Obama

[Champaign, IL] The president's action today is a necessary intervention in the 
stalemate over reforming our broken immigration system and, more importantly, it
 is good news for the hundreds of thousands of families whose lives have been adversely
affected by the threat of deportation.

In June of 2013, a bipartisan Senate passed S.744 [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rH6GJ-z2hyeKko0k2Yf5vz3Z83G3LzuoaLV2wpvh1IWEpxkfj5kle2H7xL5h-RzPus7jGKDTO7o7to88Hjqf4uNwAawXU90OcO7ALO6gz5k2REWJwlB6KaYXfmybN-lJEpZwew9IqklLSr_DbEMTgBSK5ja4znJRVnGteRDYgrmItL5vZGHXAZy24KhcDmfOjcDEqVd3QgfSx8_hHkTJUL9QuIw_o6nhiqhjqtbu3ghcLElY57Dq5Birov_F0qRg_Rsy5TAjy3j3Zq5jbCARFQtY8U3hASed0DBnwin2JBMs-AG_KM7YWu3UGMQNtazTepcgcczN-a6_BkojQZhP7HkJnvZdFhttrepfieEiM_ErLJ1-y_prdSVySiIuT6wG_t7OoueBVFE=&c=26dZ0HemgHSJqLUvooNue0sTpdsC9J2kZ6N58eSbpLcZoIXSMx966w==&ch=7Kns2cwboVCj4-1SExkDr0GGmX8WP-LCi_zdqo-G1pJa30eKOCqIrA==],
a comprehensive immigration reform bill, and yet since that time the House leadership
has refused to even bring it to a vote, much less offer any serious alternative 
proposals, so at this point any steps to improve the system - even temporarily -
 are steps in the right direction.

In spite of the best efforts of many good people on both sides of the aisle, immigration
reform has been turned into a partisan issue regardless of the fact that the benefits
of comprehensive immigration reform [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rH6GJ-z2hyeKko0k2Yf5vz3Z83G3LzuoaLV2wpvh1IWEpxkfj5kle2H7xL5h-RzPGQGE-5vmlpXpggdKlhwcxA0-QzjujR2Gzqy2PfecgwWQqpb9vdW3voCznNFcCW1NYfbaKPQVXBIe5kDeGhnEt2wyraZJWE-kbA5B_bFNBwvqFMuu-Z4vwuVgzZxmp4pTfJGasblu3wef4s1I3hhM_W78cLWQIMr_DANXhRc2__SHrcerqfJtmomr08n7HwMMDTwoLspJMci6eLc8fhomnXXG_ycb5yHFYeFXlay4oL_IY3s_-zVAbir3NrF8dekEced3qmvgJdUVwnKHxUhbon5N1F9v9Hw0XlJNT80ThdS_AqskloO1-YLfyI2pVQmgFJL6cjWgh3lsKcVvxiP16C7aku_Zl_FD8xiyo0g-avyoLI5CeJjjAaJsMXJp3w9O&c=26dZ0HemgHSJqLUvooNue0sTpdsC9J2kZ6N58eSbpLcZoIXSMx966w==&ch=7Kns2cwboVCj4-1SExkDr0GGmX8WP-LCi_zdqo-G1pJa30eKOCqIrA==]
are to be shared across the political spectrum. Agriculture, business and labor 
all share the benefits when the economy grows, and immigrants don't exist in a vacuum,
they have bosses, friends, families and co-workers who do vote and who are also 
affected by and concerned with what is said and done on this issue. As such neighbors
and residents of Illinois, we call on all of our representatives to take the opportunity
to remedy the situation for all residents and to not co-mingle issues to the point
of paralysis. Thus, it is our hope that this move by the Democratic president will
motivate the new Republican majority to pass a permanent comprehensive immigration
reform bill.

In the meantime, the CU Immigration Forum stands ready to assist local residents
 prepare to apply for this temporary relief, and to that end we've scheduled the
 following:

will detail the options of the announced program. We strongly urge the communities
of immigrants NOT to contract with individuals that charge for information of supposed
paperwork.  As attorney Jack Wilkie warns, "it is unfortunate but during times of
important announcements on immigration, some individuals take advantage to prey 
upon the vulnerabilities of those that haven't yet received correct information."

Background: The CU Immigration Forum comprises of a broad cross section of community
members, students, and local service providers. They meet once a month regularly
 to discuss and act on immigration and serving local immigrant communities.  For
 more information, including a full list of other events to inform the public on
 the presidential announcement, please visit www.cuimmigrationforum.org [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001rH6GJ-z2hyeKko0k2Yf5vz3Z83G3LzuoaLV2wpvh1IWEpxkfj5kle2vEAEuaWJ9ostkIqjgBifsKE70BMXdj5LizfKDBxsU7JNsAUA_QdRqywPYIdt1v_4nPvXyoWGRTck8Ae_kEr8W-udAPH74fjb7jAphma9NbotdI9RjC_43pixmTOloG0KvsjHwOl8bNlIzS5WuEFJp7bYoZQ3KY193qBp5nErf3PgwYJkGo3X2ekeyIfYkLiwL3l8Mq3WrOmmYHLzg9OpLCzNa3h7NYMhugSMN5DPA4VdFq9VRbcLVVRNgBMS_556-2L5C29rNVtbr1m_Q_VOpk7b3dJTLKgnjSzNM7hcwbqonuGcP13TQ=&c=26dZ0HemgHSJqLUvooNue0sTpdsC9J2kZ6N58eSbpLcZoIXSMx966w==&ch=7Kns2cwboVCj4-1SExkDr0GGmX8WP-LCi_zdqo-G1pJa30eKOCqIrA==].
