WE DEMAND CONGRESSIONAL ACTION!

TO: Members of the 112th Congress
FROM: Citizens Against Illegal Immigration

You need to stop “kicking the can down the road” in relation to America’s fiscal crises and we demand that you put the same amount of determination into confronting and resolving our nation’s immigration crisis!

While Congress is stalemated in its efforts to come to an agreement on the issue of amnesty/citizenship, that does not mean that members of both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives can ignore other responsible immigration legislation that must be enacted NOW!

Specifically, we call on you to debate and pass the following bills before the end of the 112th Congress:

• H.R. 140 – The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 which would require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident for a newborn to receive automatic citizenship.

• H.R. 692 – The Nuclear Family Priority Act to make changes to family-sponsored immigrants and reduce the number of individuals who can enter the country through chain migration.

Both of these measures have strong support among America’s voters and passage of both bills will reaffirm that our nation is dedicated to protecting the most valuable thing in the world – American citizenship. In addition, tightening the rules on anchor babies and chain migration will be a major step toward ending today’s spiraling population growth that is set to create major social, economic and environmental havoc in the coming decades.

PLEASE ACT SOON!
CO-SPONSOR AND VOTE ‘YES’ ON H.R. 140 AND H.R. 692!
