El Comite's Comprehensive Immigration Reform petition

RantWoman recommends:

After President Obama's inauguration, the debate over Immigration Reform will heat up, and the federal government is expected to come up with a deal in the first half of 2013. While Obama appears to have a public mandate for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, there are many concerns that this reform will: only provide a pathway to legalization for a narrow segment of people further separate and divide families strengthen systems for enforcement, identification, and tracking of migrating people strengthen employers' ability to exploit immigrant workers.

El Comite Pro-Reforma Migratoria y Justicia Social, a Latino immigrant worker-led membership organization based in Seattle and Auburn, WA, has created this petition to President Obama. The petition expresses the priorities and demands of their Latino worker base in 2013's round of Immigration Reform. The framework and demands for this petition were collected and distilled from a general assembly held in December, attended by workers, immigrants, and economic refugees in the Puget Sound region. The petition will be presented in Washington D.C. in the spring. Please sign this petition if you support the self-determination and voices of Latino immigrant/economic refugee communities in the debate over immigration reform.
