BRIDGE to nowhere?
Congressman Patrick Murphy (D-PA) should remove his name from a controversial immigration resolution, H.Res. 1026-- the so-called “BRIDGE Resolution.”Rep.

Be A Part Of The Solution
Our broken immigration system is hurting our economy, American families, and all American workers. Comprehensive immigration reform is the solution. President Obama supports reform. But only Congress has the power to pass legislation.
Nationwide 2010 Kick-off
On January 1st, four immigrant students left Miami, Florida for a four month-long journey to Washington, DC - on foot. These brave students are walking the "Trail of Dreams" in order to unite support for just and humane immigration reform and highlight the urgent need for change.
Carlos, Gaby, Felipe and Juan are documenting their journey and telling their stories as they march towards Washington and towards the hope of an immigration system that keeps families together and grants them the right to full citizenship in the country they consider home.

Why I’m Marching: Lucia Muñoz
