Sign the Reform Immigration FOR America petition

From Rich Stolz, Reform Immigration FOR America

Reform Immigration FOR America campaign principles:

We're FOR being fair to workers and immigrants.
We're FOR protecting and uniting families.
We're FOR citizenship for immigrants in America.

And we're FOR an America where we're stronger when we stand together than when we are divided.

Here's what we believe must guide the new way forward for immigration:

Immigration reform must promote economic opportunity.
Immigration reform must be comprehensive.
Long-term reform requires long term solutions.

A reform package that works for all communities and families in America should include the following:

A rational and humane approach to the undocumented population.
Protect U.S. and immigrant workers.
Allocate sufficient visas to close unlawful migration channels.
Enhance our nation's security and safety.
Establish a strategic border enforcement policy that reflects American values.
Keep American families together.
Promote immigrant integration.
Protect fundamental rights for all.
If these are the principles you believe in as well, go here to sign our petition.

It's time for the reform movement to show Congress how serious and committed we are to these principles. I've signed the petition, and I hope you will as well. Ask your friends to join this movement by signing the petition as well - every person who signs in September will go a long way toward convincing Congress that it's time to be FOR immigration reform, and to stand with us, not against us.

While I appreciate the sentiment expressed in this little diatribe I think it is missing one or two entries. How about:

We're FOR lowering the limit on eb5 green card visas to below 500,000.

and

We're for treating immigrants equal to natives.

Other than that, nice list.

Mike is absolutely correct in that the eb5 green card investment figure should be lowered. There was talk of a new EB visa that would give more opportunities to foreign investors, but I haven't heard any news on it in some months now.
