Lucas,
Last week, a bipartisan group of Senators announced comprehensive immigration reform that would incentivize entrepreneurship, reduce family separation by eliminating the immigration backlog and create a path to citizenship for our DREAMers.
This will strengthen our economy and our security. It is right for the families who came here to give their daughters and sons the kind of opportunity we all want for our children.
We must pass this bill. If we stand up, we can overcome the status quo and accomplish something big. I am joining with several of my Senate colleagues, but we need you.
I hope you'll take a moment to become a citizen co-sponsor by adding your voice immediately.
Passing this bill is right for families and children, and it's right for our economy. It will raise wages and help our small businesses because more people will be able to invest in them.
It will expand the tax pool and strengthen Social Security. Immigration reform will help pay down our long-term debt in a responsible way.
It is time to fix our broken system. We must pass this reform so the 11 million people who already call this nation home can share in our identity: they will become citizens.
There are entrenched interests that will fight this, and that is why I need you to speak out.
Sincerely,
Kirsten
