3) ACTION ALERT: On May 1st, Tell Congress to Stop Deportation Now!
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 16:40:55 -0400
From: Aarti Shahani
ACTION ALERT: On May 1st, Tell Congress to Stop Deportation Now!
On May 1st, immigrants around the country will mobilize and protest and
strike for our rights. While most lawmakers, media, immigrants and
restrictionists have focused on legalization and guest worker programs
for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, few
have questioned the harsh deportation measures in the Senate and House
proposed bills. The “best” and “worst” bills contain hidden provisions
that would:
* Deport long-term residents for increasingly minor crimes, even when
they are green card holders, U.S. veterans, or the parents of
American-born children
* Expand immigration detention facilities, using domestic military bases
and for-profit prison facilities
* Overturn Supreme Court rulings and legalize the indefinite detention
of non-citizens
* Turn local and state police into immigration agents
* Erect a massive border fence and further militarize our border communities
* Enable Homeland Security agents to expel suspected foreigners
indiscriminately
* Create a national identification system for all workers.
If passed, Congress would be making a bad situation worse. American
immigration laws are already harsh, resulting in the destruction of
immigrant families. Since Congress made deportation and detention
mandatory minimums in 1996, 1.4 million people have been exiled from the
United States. Immigrants have become the fastest-growing segment of our
prison population. Families and taxpayers are paying dearly, as the
Department of Homeland Security lines the pockets of for-profit prisons.
For more information, see the “Family Values” backgrounder and Detention
& Deportation factsheet

Call House & Senate offices
(Contact info at Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, or visit
http://capwiz.com/adc/dbq/officials/)
Tell your elected officials:
“I demand that you say no to every deportation provision in proposed
House and Senate immigration bills. US deportation laws are already
harsh. Homeland Security does not need additional power. We need
Congress to keep our families together, and our communities strong.
Please repeal mandatory detention and deportation laws; stop indefinite
detention of immigrants; stop making deportation a surprise punishment;
uphold fair prison standards for immigrant prisoners and provide people
facing exile with counsel; end the retroactive application of
deportation laws; and stop local police and other agencies from being
federal immigration agents.”
