This is really critical---as Congress finally considers legalization for America's 11 million undocumented immigrants, regressives are hell-bent on making our border even more of a war zone in the process. With the proposed Corker-Hoeven amendment to the Senate immigration bill, 2X the number of US Border Patrol agents would be brought in, making the US-Mexican border as militarized as that of North and South Korea.
Tomorrow, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) will meet with Pres. Obama to discuss the immigration proposal. Currently, our "hope and change" president is supportive of the proposed immigration bill even with the murderous Corker-Hoeven amendment. Tomorrow, the CHC has a rare opportunity to change that by pledging to vote against the bill if it includes the border militarizing amendment.
That's exactly what Presente.org, a grassroots Latino/a organization has set up a petition to demand. Please add your name in demanding that the CHC reject the current bi-partisan devil's compromise!
