\"obama_durbin\"<\/a> Politics of hate thwart reasonable solutions<\/p>\n

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) is deeply disappointed with the United States Senate\u2019s failure to move immigration reform forward this year. The Senate this morning again failed to cut off debate on its immigration reform bill, this time by a vote of 46-53.\u00a0 With this vote, the Senate ended its consideration of comprehensive immigration legislation for this year.<\/p>

While ICIRR recognized the flaws in the Senate proposal and worked to improve it, we also urged the Senate to move the bill forward and keep the legislative process moving.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the politics of fear and hate have triumphed over the hopes for a reasonable, workable, bipartisan solution.\u00a0 Now, without a legislative solution<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

to our broken immigration system in sight, more families will be torn apart, more hardworking immigrants will be caught in raids, and more people seeking better futures will die on the border.
\n\u201cThere are heroes and cowards from both parties,\u201d said ICIRR board president Juan Salgado.\u00a0 \u201cIn particular, the Republican Party needs to define itself:\u00a0 will it stand for inclusion or play on hatred?\u00a0 If it continues to pander to fear, it will continue to lose ground in the Latino community and throughout our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

ICIRR again thanks Sen. Richard Durbin and Sen. Barack Obama for their leadership in seeking improvements to the bill and in working to move the bill forward.\u00a0 Both Senators voted for this morning\u2019s cloture motion, and have worked hard to move the bill forward.\u00a0 Throughout the Senate debate, they consistently showed their responsiveness to our state\u2019s immigrant communities.
\nDespite this setback, the immigration issue is not going away.\u00a0 Our nation\u2019s immigration system is in urgent need of reform.\u00a0 The US House of Representatives must now take up the challenge of crafting a bipartisan reform bill.\u00a0 ICIRR will also continue to work for just, humane, workable solutions, including the DREAM Act for undocumented students.\u00a0 The US needs to bring the undocumented out of the shadows, restore order to our immigration system, and uphold our values as a nation of immigrants.<\/p>\n

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is a statewide coalition of 130 organizations dedicated to promoting the rights of immigrants and refugees to full and equal participation in the civic, cultural, social, and political life of our diverse society.
