NOTICE:
The Campaign Reform Immigration for America in Arizona is about joining forces with organizations from faith, labor, business – individuals and families working together to achieve workable comprehensive immigration reform.
As the work of advancing CIR legislation in Congress moves forward, it will be more important for CIR supporters to stay connected and work together on how to do our part in reaching the 279 votes needed for victory.

calls for updates about what is going on the ground in Arizona and nationally. Statewide meeting to be schedule soon.

I think an important and all too often overlook issue that needs to be addressed is the $500,000 figure that is the minimum for qualification for an eb5 green card. There has been a strong yet small group of people who have been lobbying to have the limit for this visa lowered to $250,000 - a much more reasonable figure. I would like to see this addressed on this site sometime in the near future.
Many people are opposed to the lowering of the eb5 green card
visa fee from 500k to 250k, because doing so creates fewer jobs for Americans. The visa that would do this is called the "startup visa." Here is an example of the opposition that I'm talking about: http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2010/03/10/numbersusa-blew-it-on-eb-5-fax/
