Gutierrez’s Immigration Reform Bill To Drop Tomorrow. Will It Be a Holiday Gift for Immigrant Communities?
6:54 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Immigration|Politics
14 Dec 2009Tomorrow, December 15th, Congressman Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) will officially unveil his immigration reform bill. Details are yet unknown as what exactly will be in the bill but what we do know based on information from sources close to the Congressman is that the bill will include policy relating to family unification and a component relating to the DREAM Act.
From El Diario/la Prensa:
“No vamos a poner lenguaje en que se diga que la gente tiene que regresar para buscar su visa, penalidades de miles de dólares. Pensamos que los jóvenes no deberían pagar ninguna multa y tener su residencia mucho más rápido, que los trabajadores agrícolas deberían tener un camino independiente a su legalización”, dijo Gutiérrez cuando presentó los principios hace más de dos meses en las afueras del Capitolio.
“No queremos esperar 10 a 15 años para reunificar familias. Si tú tienes una petición, queremos que eso sea concedido en no más de cinco años. Que se acabe con los retrasos”, enfatizó.
The community is being told that this bill is the answer we have been waiting for. I really hope so.

I fully support smart and long time needed CIR , I hope this time CIR supporters will educate uneducated oponents what CIR really is all about.
I hope our lawmakers will have guts to pass this legislation in the interest of all american people

I am very confident that President Obama and his administration will be blessed by millions of families and their kids.
Please make this immigration reform to come true.
