The petition
Masked men in unmarked vehicles are kidnapping people off our streets. Federal agents are killing our neighbors in cold blood, like Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. We have to take action to protect our neighbors across the state, and we will work with anyone and everyone to make that possible.
The midterm elections made one thing clear: the American people are not happy with the way immigration enforcement is being carried out. Voters saw the raids, the masked agents, and the families torn apart, and they sent Washington a message. The President and Congress now have a choice. They can ignore that message, or they can finally fix a broken system.
That is the opportunity in front of us: to finally pass comprehensive immigration reform. We can secure our border. We can create more legal pathways for hardworking immigrants to come to this country, contribute to this economy, and make us richer and stronger as a nation. And we can pass a pathway to citizenship for our neighbors who have been here for years, for decades, so they can come out of the shadows.
We call on the President and Congress to:
- Secure our border.
- Create more legal pathways for hardworking immigrants to come to this country and contribute to this economy.
- Pass a pathway to citizenship for our neighbors who have been here for years, for decades, so they can come out of the shadows.
We have not given up hope that this type of immigration reform is possible. The voters have spoken. We will work with anyone, including President Trump, to get it done.
