NEW CAMPAIGN TO TARGET NINE HOUSE REPUBLICANS A new campaign that will push for immigration reform was announced this past Thursday. Major labor unions will combine with smaller grass-roots immigrant advocacy groups to target nine House Republican lawmakers who support establishing a way for eligible immigrants to apply for U.S. citizenship. Organizers of the campaign say their goal is to pressure the lawmakers to match their public statements by persuading colleagues and House Republican leaders to permit votes on a series of immigration bills introduced in recent months. Even if the nine lawmakers fail to convince their colleagues by the end of the year, the groups plan to continue their campaign not only for reform, but also in next years elections where they will use their resources to prevent those opposed to new immigration laws from being re-elected. The window for reform passing this year is closing, but the fight for comprehensive immigration reform grows stronger and more organized. Eventually, comprehensive immigration reform will pass. PLEASE WATCH FOR MORE INFORMATION SOON.
