Representative Luis Gutierrez stands up with co-sponsors to introduce the CIR ASAP act!
Its official, the fight for immigration reform is heating up. The press conference to announce Representative Luis Gutierrez’s “CIR ASAP Act” has just ended and now the real work begins!
Today, Representatives from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Asian and Pacific Americans Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, and Congressional Progressive Caucus joined Congressman Luis Gutierrez, to introduce the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009” (CIR A.S.A.P.) in the House of Representatives.
During the question and answer session of the introduction, there were a few questions asked to the effect of “Why will it pass this time?”. Representative Gutierrez answered:
We are getting confidence from the mosaic you see here. This bill has 89 cosponsors. Last time it was introduced it had fewer than 25.
Not to mention that we have the support of folks like you who are working hard to send faxes into your members of Congress and call the White House to send a clear message that you support immigration reform NOW!
The more than 89 co-sponsors of the CIR ASAP act have delivered on their promise to introduce a just and humane immigration reform bill before the holidays. Now there is no more excuse for inaction!
An overwhelming majority of Americans want practical solutions to our broken immigration system that promote our best values and uphold our traditions as a nation of immigrants and laws. Americans want an immigration system that will be fair and serve the real interests of hardworking taxpayers, workers, employers, and families across America.
Tell your members of Congress to support immigration reform now. Its up to us to keep the pressure on!

Entonces, sabiendo que para circular s� o s� debemos contar con una p�liza, sabemos adem�s que deberemos incurrir en un costo fijo mensual. Ante esta situaci�n �c�mo hacer para conseguir seguros baratos?
I HOPE THIS BILL PASSES I’VE GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS WHO WERE BROUGHT OVER HERE TO THE U.S. WHEN THEY WERE SO YOUNG THEY CANT EVEN REMEMBER AND THEIR LIVES ARE SO MISERABLE, THEY CANT WORK OR GO TO SCHOOL AND START A FUTURE BUT IF OBAMA KEEPS HIS PROMISE AND PASSES THIS THEN PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THESE SITUATIONS WILL BE ABLE TO START A REAL LIFE AND BE HAPPY WITHOUT HAVING TO LIVE IN DENIAL FOR SOMETHING THAT WASN’T THEIR FAULT. A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE THEIR OWN CITIZENSHIP FOR GRANITE AND SCREW THEIR LIVES UP, WHEN THERE’S PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HAVE THAT. I SPEAK FOR THOSE WHO ARE HIDING IN THE SHADOWS, I AM A U.S. CITIZEN AND THANK GOD EVERYDAY BECAUSE I NO ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE ONE AND EVERYONE WILL LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM
How this bill excludes gay and lesbian couples from citizenship? Isnt that a different topic (gay marriage)? Please explain..
I think this is a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!! long overdue i think lol….There are plenty of people here who have no criminal background here and who would love to work and enjoy life just a little bit but because of the immigration system are severly held back and have to stuggle through life. This immigration bill would help plenty people who want to contribute to the US. And if you think about it this would also stop id theft and more cases similar to this. I hope this passes very very soon.
and for those who are still thinking about this bill just think of how many children that cant go to college or school because they have no status or because the gov. wont allow them to (and this is maily because they were brought here very young and some dont have a clue what kind of problems they are in). Its unfair and this bill should change that so that ANY child no matter how old they are can have a fair chance to an education.
I hope this bill passes
SAY “YES” TO REFORM IMMIGRATION!!!!! DIGAN “SI” A LA REFORMA MIGRATORIA!!!!!
CALL TO: 1-866-956-3902 and said: “YES, WE CAN DO POSSIBLE THE IMMIGRATION REFORM” /////YES, YES , YES
POR FAVOR LLAMEN AL 1-866-956-3902 Y DIGAN SI NOSOTROS PODEMOS HACER POSIBLE LA REFORMA DE INMIGRACION.
Yo pienso que si debe haber una REFORMA MIGRATORIA justa para todos los trabajadores porque ellos simplemente vienen a desempeñar el trabajo que los legales no quieren hacer y ademas son humillados por los contatistas o rancheros y no pueden decir nada por miedo a ser despedidos. Doy gracias a Dios por este pais EE.UU. y le pido a Dios Que les ilumine la mente y les hablande el corazon A LOS CONGRESISTAS para sacar de la oscuridad a 12 millones de inmigrantes que por alguna razon del destino estamos en este pais donde ironicamente se violan sus derechos y libertades.
LA REFORMA MIGRATORIA INYECTARA A LA ECONOMIA MILES DE MILLONES DE DOLARES, AL SALIR DE LAS SOMBRAS LA GENTE INDOCUMENTADA/// MILES DE MILLONES DE US$$$ POR NUEVAS LICENCIAS DE CONDUCIR, MILES DE MILLONES DE US$$$ POR NUEVOS SEGUROS DE AUTOS A PAGAR, LA REFORMA MIGRATORIA REACTIVARA LA ECONOMIA. NO ES DIFICIL!! POR DIOS HASTA LA POLICIA PIDE LA SOLUCION A ESTE PROBLEMA; PARA PODER DEDICARSE A LO QUE REALMENTE ELLOS DEBEN; UNA REFORMA MIGRATORIA ES URGENTEMENTE NECESARIA!!! SI A LA REFORMA MIGRATORIA PARA UNA VIDA MEJOR PARA TODOS QUE EN REALIDAD NO AFECTAN A NADIE
Este Sistema Migratorio como todo en la vida debe ser mejorado por leyes que regulen la futura inmigracion de manera ordenada y que a la vez legalice a 12 MILLONES DE PERSONAS quienes actualmente no tienen documentos legales; sacara de las sombras a millones de personas que actuamente no tienen ni siquiera un permiso de trabajo, ni licencia de conducir y trabajan en los empleos que nadie quiere hacer; recoger basura, construccion, limpieza de cloacas, limpieza de casas, lavaplatos, valet parking, construccion, limpieza de oficinas, sirvientas que son violadas, baby sitters, lavado de platos, pintura en general, reparacion de techos, lavado de autos; todos esos trabajos los hacen los latinos sin papeles y sino averiguen quien hace esos trabajos.
EE.UU. debe legalizar a los indocumentados; como hicieron recientemente otros paises como son; ITALIA, ESPANA, INGLATERRA, ALEMANIA, CANADA, ARGENTINA y ahora mismo BRAZIL esta legalizando a los indocumentados; el Gobierno Brasilero esta legalizando a todos los indocumentados porque saben de su valor, aporte economico; saben que trabajan duro solamente para sostener sus familias /Solo busco el apoyo de las personas que quieran una Reforma Migratoria aprobada en el Congreso de EE.UU. Mediante cartas, mensajes de texto o fax a nuestros congresistas. Por eso debemos apoyar a los grupos hispanos que promueven la Reforma Migratoria y por nuestro lado buscar apoyo entre nuestros amigos americanos o residentes legales para que ellos tambien llamen y pidan una solucion justa para todos.
Dejemos de una vez por todas ser a América el sueño tan anhelado que siempre ha sido, y no el lugar en donde las redadas y las injusticias ahoguen a tantas miles de personas; con tanta desigualdad social, con tanta muerte en las fronteras, con tanto ignorancia y con tanto de todo. La gente seguirá luchando por una reforma migratoria justa que valore a todos por igual sin importar la raza o etnicidad, pero para eso tenemos que seguir insistiendo para que la intolerancia tome otros dimensiones; así que tomemos conciencia de saber que se necesita hacer algo los 12 millones de indocumentados que están trabajando, estudiando, engrandeciendo EE.UU.
WASHINGTON, DC – El mejor antídoto para la crisis económica en Estados Unidos sería la aprobación de una reforma migratoria integral, no la continua guerra de desgaste contra los indocumentados. El presidente Barack Obama y los demócratas del Congreso se juegan el respaldo de los VOTANTES LATINOS, para quienes la REFORMA MIGRATORIA ES UN TEMA URGENTE. Una encuesta nacional realizada por Impremedia, Latino Decisions y la Fundación Robert Wood Johnson, indicó que 84% de los votantes latinos considera importante que la REFORMA MIGRATORIA sea aprobada antes de los comicios legislativos de noviembre de 2010. Sr.Obama, todos los ciudadanos conscientes le exigimos que cumpla con su promesa de una Reforma Migratoria Amplia y Justa.
Hay muchisima gente; que merece tener sus documentos legales; y para esa gente trabajadora que vieneha este pais a progresar; si a la reforma; si al apoyo legal de los indocumentados; necesitamos una reforma para esta gente que ha ayudado este pais, que lo defienden como el suyo mismo; Estados Unidos; una nacion; una sola union al progreso de nuestro pais. Gracias; por apoyar a la gente trabajadora y a los universitarios que vienen ha este pais a aportar sus ideas e inteligencia para mejorar nuestro pais, que bonito seria si todos nosotros nos unieramos y nos apoyaramos mutuamente para hacer este; un pais mucho mejor; sin odios; ni racismo, Viva Estados Unidos
HONORABLE SR.PRESIDENTE BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA; NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO INCLUYENDO A LOS CIUDADANOS HISPANOS DE ESTE PAIS (+15% ELECTORADO NACIONAL) => FUIMOS QUIENES LO PUSIMOS EN LA CASA BLANCA,Y DIMOS A LOS DEMOCRATAS SESENTA VOTOS EN EL SENADO Y UNA MAYORIA EN EL CONGRESO, ES HORA QUE CUMPLA SU PROMESA DE UNA REFORMA MIGRATORIA AMPLIA Y JUSTA POR LA SEGURIDAD Y PROSPERIDAD DE ESTA NACION!
I am especially thankful for my Latin American friends who have taught me the meaning of love. I am a better person because of them. They are the most loving, kind, generous and caring people I have ever known despite the extreme difficulties that they struggle with every day due to their unregistered status. I believe that from a humanitarian standpoint that immigration reform is the most important issue this legislature will face. I pray every day that God will guide our legislators to pass this legislation as soon as possible. I pray everyday that the Lord may iluminate the minds of those in positions of Justice and of Congress
Most Honorable Congressman Luis Gutierrez
and “Reform Immigration for America” Organization, we commend your great humanitarian and tireless work and effort advocating for a Comprehensive Immigration Reform. We agree that an Immigration Reform proposal is going to have to include Enforcements and Sanctions, however these should NOT be applied before an Immigration Reform. Therefore WE MUST REJECT E-VERIFY!- This enforcement is being ’sold’ as a punishement for employers, but in reality is just another form of Raids. WE MUST REJECT E-VERIFY, this is an enforcement that is being currently applied, and it is unfair because our Immigrants haven’t have the opportunity yet to apply for legalization through an Immigration Reform.
WE MUST REJECT E-VERIFY, this eforcement encourages racial profiling and discrimination even towards the Legal Immigrants. WE MUST REJECT E-VERIFY, this encorcement is devastating and tearing apart the immigrant families.
WE MUST REJECT E-VERIFY, this enforcement is an attrocity towards our hard-working Immigrant Community and would even adversely affect our economy. There is a real humanitarian crisis that our Immigrant community is facing. They face daily attacks, abuses and discrimination in this country. Many of these Immigrants would rather had stayed in their home countries, but the poverty, the violence, and the unfair trade that only benefits the foreign corporations has forced them to seek better life and opportunities here in the U.S.
IN THE UNION OF THE PEOPLE IS THE REAL POWER THAT WE HAVE……..PLEASE CALL TODAY! White house = 1-866-956-3902 /// D.H.S. Janet Napolitano = (202)282-8495 /// and Mr. President Obama = (202) 456-1111 and leave this message: “YES to an Immigration Reform” //// The E-verify encourages discrimination and racial profiling because in order to avoid trouble, a company won’t hire a Latino/Asian/Minority even if he/she is documented. NO to E-verify! until all immigrants have had the opportunity to apply for Legalization through an Immigration Reform. NO to Gestapo-like Raids at workplace and homes! – Raids terrorize children and destroy families! STOP the relentless witch-hunt, persecution and the scapegoating of HARD-WORKING Immigrants!”
I am thankful for the many immigrants I have gotten to know and work with. They have lifted my spirit by their courage at living in a strange land whose language they often do not know well. They have encouraged me with their faith and testimonies. They want so much to become a part of a nation that often seems not to want them. They have taught me about their cultures which are rich and they have enriched my spirit. I am thankful for their love to USA. May God’s blessings fill their lives… “soon, all immigrants under the same Flag, our flag, United States’ Flag, our Country!!!” Good bless all persons that are working hard every day to get this Immigration Reform, and we must be part, if we involve in this fight, the success will be ours!!!!!!
More than 60,000 participants in Congressman Luis Gutierrez’s town hall, a historic night on the road to reform. Your activism, alongside others, drove none other than Lou Dobbs and his xenophobia away from CNN – a huge victory in the fight against hate. And, last but not least, since this campaign launched in June you’ve made more than half a million calls and faxes to Congress and the administration demanding immigrants’ rights and calling for comprehensive immigration reform. The work you have done to this point is exactly why we will win this fight. Oh God , Thanks for the day when America will make comprehensive immigration reform the law of the land. That day is coming soon.
It did not define ‘undocumented immigrant’.
A person who crossed the border without inspection or
A person who is present here unlawfully or
A person who overstayed its visa or
A person whose became without a status as a result of USCIS/INS’s mismanagement…
This bill excludes gay and lesbian couples from citizenship. It breaks up families. Shame on you.
