Conservative Leaders Push for Immigration Reform in 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. — More than 250 faith, law enforcement and business leaders from 26 states gathered today at the National Strategy Session to debut newly energized efforts — including Capitol Hill visits with key lawmakers — to push for broad immigration reform in early 2013.
The gathering builds on two years of work outside Washington, including successful regional summits, state compacts and other efforts in the Mountain West, Southeast and Midwest at which hundreds of business, faith and law-enforcement leaders have built new relationships, discussed state policies and urged pragmatic federal solutions. The alliance plans to pressure Republicans and Democrats in Congress and President Obama to ensure that broad immigration reform is the first legislative priority in 2013.

族裔媒體同聲呼籲白宮和國會在2013年落實移民改革法案
編者按：這篇社論是由新美國傳媒（http://www.newamericamedia.org）聯合國內關心移民改革的少數族裔媒體共同發佈的新聞。新美國傳媒是一個國際性的少數族裔媒體 。白宮和國會必須迅速制定公正、人性化的全面移民改革法案。在歷經2012年的選舉後，民主黨和共和黨的法令制定者均表示需要有新一波的移民改革。現在是兩黨共同立法的最好機會。少數族裔媒體和未來的移民改革法案有很重要的關聯性。這就是為什麼我們少數族裔媒體必須聯合起來，採取社論的形式呼籲白宮和國會：在2013年確實實施移民改革。這不僅是一個政治問題。我們呼籲全面移民改革是因為這是道義上的權利、經濟上的明智之舉，更是務實而明智的事情。我們的國家是一個法治國家，而且很顯然的，美國的移民政策需要進行全面的審查與修改。移民制度的不全，不僅造成1千1百萬無證移民，更讓成千上萬的移民無法得到工作簽證在美國工作，同時也令美國企業無法僱用所需的專業人才，更讓等待移民簽證的海外親屬歷經數年才能和在美國的家人團聚。我們需要全面的移民改革讓家庭團聚、經濟振興，並且讓我們國家的特性恢復成因勤勞移民的貢獻而興盛的國家。很顯然的聯邦移民法成效不彰。聯邦在移民問題上的無為導致各州自訂移民法律，這些州包含從亞利桑那州到阿拉巴馬州。最近公佈的「幼年來美者暫停遣返考慮」（DACA）計畫只是一個臨時的補救動作，並不能解決整體移民制度不完善所引發的大問題。移民問題被描繪成一個引發分裂的問題。然而事實卻非如此。所有美國人都將受益於ㄧ個符合市場需求的有效移民法規，它保護所有工作者不受剝削，並且讓父母無需和他們的子女分離。我們需要一個最能反映我們優良歷史傳統, 和堅信正義、平等和經濟機會的移民制度。當我們展望未來，我們必須確保在日益全球化的世界中保持競爭力。我們需要持續的吸引世上最優秀、最聰明和最具開創性的員工來美工作。我們必須立刻採取行動。我們的經濟和我們的未來都仰賴於移民改革。…
