After the release of several reports critical of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) enforcement and detention tactics, America’s Voice has created a new video demanding that DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano do more to reject the strategies of the Bush Administration and move forward on workable comprehensive immigration reform. The video campaign was given the name "Enough is enough."
The call of this organization based on Washington, DC, found echo across the country as grassroots activists in New York and Los Angeles launched events with the same theme, Wednesday. America’s Voice announced these grassroots actions will continue across the country for the next several weeks.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, beginning today, a national call to action has been issued to reiterate the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Janet Napolitano to stop expansion of Bush-era immigration enforcement policies. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), maintaining the tone, has named these tactics as the cause of broken lives, instability of communities, and a growing perception that “our nation, in spite of its best intentions, conducts itself with cruelty and injustice towards its immigrant population,” and that “programs such as E-verify, I-9 Audits, and 287(g) agreements are flawed, costly, and disruptive to whole communities.”
“Enough is enough. Without clear relief to our deeply flawed immigration laws, such as just and humane immigration reform, the United States is engaging in cruel and unusual punishment with honest immigrant workers and the businesses which hired them,” said in a statement Angelica Salas, Executive Director of CHIRLA.
Salas called on all Americans who have indicated a need to reform immigration laws to call the DHS Comment Line at (866) 943-8027 or (866) 967-6018 (Spanish) to tell them about the urgent need of immigration reform legislation.
