On the recordMarch 30, 2011
America's broken immigration system continues to wreak havoc in communities across the country. Real families with real children live in fear that someone they love may be torn away from them. No child deserves to grow up without the love of their parents. We must bring an end to the separation of families. We must all remember that immigrants are not our enemies. They are our neighbors, our classmates, our fellow churchgoers. They are part of the American fabric. Over the coming month, I look forward to working with CHC and advocates across the Nation to speak on the human impact of our broken immigration system. Immigration is not just a Latino issue. It is an American issue that impacts all of us. Let's work together to stop this hateful rhetoric and pass real immigration reform. ____________________
