1.We, the undersigned immigrants’ rights, civil rights, and faith-based organizations, write to strongly urge you to protect and strengthen the family-based immigration system as you develop immigration reform legislation. We believe that all families belong together, regardless of immigration status.Family is a cornerstone of American values but our broken system often hurts families by keeping loved ones apart for years through red tape,bureaucracy, harsh enforcement tactics.
2.As of November 2012, nearly 4.3 million loved ones are waiting in the family visa backlogs.
3.Strengthening the current family-based immigration system is good for our economy and is commonsense policy for the United States.
4.We urge you to support and improve and strengthen our family-based immigration system.
