Stop Anti-Immigration Provisions from Becoming Part of the Intelligence Reform Bill
Call Your Congressmen Now!

LULAC needs your help to ensure that anti-immigration provisions are not included in the Intelligence Reform Bill. Congress will reconvene on December 6th in order to obtain a compromise on this bill. Call your congressmen today and insist that the anti-immigration provisions are not part of the compromise.

Before Thanksgiving the Senate members of the conference committee devised a compromise that excluded the worst of the anti-immigrant House provisions. Representative Sensenbrenner (R-WI), however, was not satisfied with this compromise and is insisting on the inclusion of anti-immigrant provisions including additional driver's license provisions that would forbid states to issue licenses to undocumented immigrants and other legal immigrants.

The Bush Administration and the conference committee leadership are pushing to see that a compromise is made this year.

Please contact the White House, conference committee members and your own senators and representatives to insist that they not allow Representative Sensenbrenner’s anti-immigration provisions into the bill.

Please contact your members of Congress today.

Tell them to:

• Ensure that anti-immigrant provisions are kept out of the intelligence reform bill.

• Support the Senate-led compromise which more closely tracks the recommendations of the 9/11 commission without adding on unnecessary immigration measures. This compromise includes strong border measures and federal standards for driver’s licenses that will make us safer.

• Include the true recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, not the agenda of those who are anti-immigrant. The immigration provisions Rep. Sensenbrenner wants would not have prevented the terrorist attacks and will not make us safer.

• Insist that we need comprehensive immigration reform- not false solutions that will only cause distrust among our immigrant communities.
