OFA-MO to Hold Event at Sen. Blunt‘s Office to Tell Congress the Time has Come to Fix our Broken Immigration System
Volunteer Event will Push Congress to Move Forward the Bipartisan Legislation that will Help Our Economy and Help our Country
Saint Louis, MO – This Thursday 5/30/2013 OFA-MO volunteers and supporters from the Saint Louis area will visit Sen. Blunt’s office to say that we must pass comprehensive immigration reform now for our economy and the future of our country. Last week, with bipartisan support the Senate Judiciary Committee moved forward with legislation to fix our immigration system. The result is a strong, balanced bill that provides the best opportunity in years to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
OFA supporters know that we must seize this historic opportunity. American is both a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants, of rights and of responsibilities. Modernizing our immigration system is critical for our economy and crucial for the future of America. Reform will help us secure our border, crack down on employers who are gaming the system and create an earned path to citizenship for the tens of millions who are here without the proper documentation and will reaffirm those American values that we all strive for to create a better life not just for ourselves and our families. With this visit to Sen. Blunt‘s home-state office, and similar events around the country, OFA volunteers are showing Congress that this is not about party this is about making sure we have an immigration system that reflects who we are as country and who we have always been. The time is now to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
