Almost every single Republican member of Congress voted to make 800,000 young people who came to the United States through no fault of their own vulnerable to deportation.
That’s a position even further to the right than the one held by the man they nominated for president last year, Mitt Romney — who advocated for self-deportation.
Share this graphic with your friends, and let them know what happened this morning:
Last year, President Obama announced that these young people — sometimes called DREAMers — who contribute to our country by serving in the military or going to college, can request relief and apply for work visas. But now Republicans in Congress are trying to take that away.
President Obama can’t create a permanent solution for these young people by himself — only Congress can do that. Today’s vote was a major step back in the fight for common-sense immigration reform, and we need to hold the House Republicans who voted to put the DREAMers at risk for deportation accountable.
The key question moving forward is whether the GOP-led House moves in the direction of common-sense immigration reform that fixes our broken system and creates a path to earned citizenship, or whether it goes backwards and targets young people that are here through no fault of their own and who are contributing to our communities every day.

P.S. — President Obama will not give up on this issue — and neither will the Democrats fighting for it.

Immigration reform bill
We are fast approaching the critical moment that our movement has made possible: S. 744, the bipartisan immigration bill, is expected to be introduced to the full Senate early next week for debate, amendment and a full vote.
We must keep up the pressure to ensure the bill we have been fighting for continues to move forward.
Dial 888-891-3271 or click here to call your Senator now.
We have proven the power of our movement before. Our calls, faxes, and contacts to the Senate helped advance the bill this far — but as this bill moves to the full Senate, it will be even more vulnerable to amendments that could jeopardize the path to citizenship for millions of families.
The Senate has the opportunity to make history by passing a reform law that keeps families together and strengthens our country by creating a pathway to full citizenship. We must make sure that the Senate passes this important bill. Millions of American families depend on it.
Click here to be immediately connected to your Senator and tell them to support immigration reform.
With hope,

Weekly Address: Congress Should Take Action to Continue Growing the Economy
Weekly Address: Congress Should Take Action to Continue Growing the Economy
In this week’s address, President Obama says that the economy is moving in the right direction, but there is still more work to do. He calls on Congress to act to give every responsible homeowner the chance to save money on their mortgage by refinancing at historically low interest rates, put more Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, and fix our broken immigration system — so that we can continue to grow our economy and create good middle class jobs.
Watch this week’s Weekly Address.
