Latino Elected Officials March the Halls of Congress

Latino Elected Officials March the Halls of Congress to Press for Comprehensive Immigration Reform/National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials press release/[[September 13, 2006]]/ link

...The delegation of Latino leaders met with their members of Congress to advocate for immigration reform legislation that allows law-abiding, tax-paying newcomers to eventually become full participants in our nation's democracy, including earned legalization and guest worker programs with a path to U.S. citizenship, civic integration initiatives, and programs providing immigrant students with a meaningful opportunity to pursue higher education.

United States Representatives Luis V. Gutierrez , Grace Napolitano and Ken Salazar joined the elected officials in their call to action as they urged their colleagues in Congress to enact a comprehensive immigration reform package that is fair and humane.

"The time for action on comprehensive immigration reform is now, and the time for excuses is over," said Rep. Luis. V. Gutierrez, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Immigration Task Force. "It is time for elected officials to stop playing politics with this issue. For the sake of the millions of families adversely affected by our broken immigration laws, for the sake of our economy, and for the sake of our national security, let's work together to create an immigration system that works for families, works for businesses and works for our communities."
