There is now pending before Congress a very wrongheaded and destructive bill which panders to anti-immigrant hostility and fear by further criminalizing out-of-status immigrants. The bill offers no rational solution to the fact that there are already 11 million "illegal" immigrants in the U.S.

Read an analysis of this bill, H.R. 4437.

Here's the urgent action I received from Desis Rising Up and Moving and Coalition for the Human Rights of Immigrants:

Folks,
