[Peace-discuss] the future of immigration law

[Karen Medina]

Peace-discuss,

I send the attached email from "Immigrants' list" as a discussion
piece on the topic of immigration reform.

In the last presidential election, it was my opinion that immigration
reform would be one of the most important issues the country would
face during these four years. I thought immigration was going to be as
important as health care reform but that healthcare reform would be
the easiest issue.

I am scared stiff now that the Congress has changed hands.

"We need to address anchor babies...that's not what the founding
fathers intended." Those are the words of Congressman Steve King, who
unveiled a bill that would end automatic birthright citizenship. And
that's the half of it.

Lawmakers in 14 states are planning to introducing bills to eliminate
birthright citizenship at the state level. They have made it clear
that they will not rest until automatic birthright citizenship is
abolished.

This is the time for America to find common ground on our most
pressing problems--fixing our broken and dangerous immigration system
among them. Eliminating birthright citizenship is not solution; it
only serves to divide the country and prevents real reform from
becoming a reality.

Immigrants' List is ready to work with those on both sides of the
aisle who want to create a better immigration system, instead of
dividing the country. But, we need your help, now more than ever.
