This week the Senate is considering an immigration bill on the floor for the first time in nearly five years. As the text and amendments will be fast moving, these next few days are a critical time for you to call your Senators and urge them to promote humane and just policy. Consider using the scripts at https://www.kinoborderinitiative.org/act/ to speak for support for DREAMers, against an expansion of immigration detention, and for humane border policies. For specific ideas on amendments and legislation that we at KBI would support or oppose, look over an outline drawn up by a partner group: https://www.fcnl.org/updates/fcnl-initial-recommendations-on-immigration-floor-action-1260.
Peaople in power often blame the victim. Let’s make sure that this time around,the United States opens its heart to refugees who contribute to our country. God bless us all.
