"We have waited patiently for a workable solution to our immigration crisis to be taken up by this Congress and our President," said Rep. Gutierrez. "The time for waiting is over. This bill will be presented before Congress recesses for the holidays so that there is no excuse for inaction in the New Year. It is the product of months of collaboration with civil rights advocates, labor organizations, and members of Congress. It is an answer to too many years of pain --mothers separated from their children, workers exploited and undermined security at the border-- all caused at the hands of a broken immigration system. This bill says 'enough,' and presents a solution to our broken system that we as a nation of immigrants can be proud of."

These are great news! Although debate and passage seem extremely difficult, this type of action from Mr. Gutierrez keeps a window of hope opened for all of us. I really hope this is the first step to build some momentum and get immigration taken care of before Congress forgets about everything and concentrate on electoral campaigns. I still believe 2010 could be our year!

We need to start and keep calling, don't give up, and ask everyone we know to call as well. If we can beat the anti-immigrant calls we will win reform. That was one reason it failed last year, more people called agaisnt it than for it. Fighting we will win regardless what time of year it is, their votes for reelection are already dependent on health care reform.

HCR needs to pass quickly as possible also.

So when do you need we will see a draft bill for either House and/or Senate?
