A Nation of Immigrants

Throughout our country's history, immigrants have contributed immensely to our culture, our economy, our defense and our national pride. Almost all citizens of the United States are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants and each new generation of immigrants has reinvigorated our nation with the values and work ethic that has made America great. Our common experience has demonstrated that immigration is good for America, whether your ancestors arrived before the Declaration of Independence or just a generation ago. LULAC calls upon Congress and the President to embrace and uphold America's tradition as a nation of immigrants and pass comprehensive immigration reform that allows hard working immigrants and their families to become permanent legal residents of the United States.

ACTION ALERT: Make This DREAM a Reality!!! Analysts Agree. Bipartisan Support Steers Best Opportunity for DREAM Act's Passage. On March 6th 2007, Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Richard Lugar (R-IN) reintroduced the American DREAM Act, S. 774. Its introduction comes just two weeks after the House's introduction of HR 1275 sponsored by Lincoln Diaz Balart (R-FL), Howard Berman (D-CA), and Royal Allard (D-CA). Bicameral leadership and Bipartisanship indicate a clear collaboration for the bill. LULAC strongly urges an immediate passage ... Click here to take actionor here to read our press release.
