A border-only immigration bill?

from Gabe Gonzalez, Reform Immigration FOR America

For months, Republican obstruction has slowed work on immigration reform in the Senate. And now we know why. Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl have been working on a bill that ignores real immigration reform so they can continue to use immigrants as a political punching bag.

The Senators from Arizona have concocted a bill that does nothing to fix our broken immigration system. Their “border-only” bill focuses merely on enforcement and security - it doesn’t help our families, our communities, or our economy. It’s what you’d expect from senators who agree with their state’s decision to legalize racial profiling.

Tell Senator Jon Kyl:
"We need real reform, not more grandstanding about the border. Vote “NO!” on the McCain-Kyl “Border-Only Bill” and get to work fixing our immigration system."

The border-only bill does nothing to move the debate forward. All it does is provide political cover for people trying to stop real comprehensive immigration reform. We need a real debate on the floor of the Senate, not partisan posturing.

Send a message to your Senator: we need debate, not false solutions.

Thank you,
