Rallying Call for Immigrant Rights
| On April 10, 2006, immigrants and their allies from around the nation will mobilize in Washington, DC and multiple other cities to oppose the harsh and unworkable HR 4437. They will be demanding real immigration reform that is comprehensive, respects civil rights, reunites families, protects workers, and offers a path to citizenship for the current undocumented and future immigrants. |
Thousands to Rally April 10:
At least 70 cites will march on April 10th
Ant-Immigrant Legislation
The Sensenbrenner-King (HR 4437) threatens to criminalize those assisting undocumented immigrants as "alien smugglers" and to turn undocumented status from a civil violation to a federal aggravated felony.While more promising legislation was introduced to the senate floor, Senators failed to reach a comprimise. It does not appear likely that new immigrant legislation will be passed this year.
