IRATE believes that changes in our immigration laws are necessary to bring about more just treatment of asylum seekers and economic refugees. We support legislation that respects the dignity of all who come to our country whether seeking asylum or to better their economic status. Please consider writing to your senator or representative about the need for immigration reform that respects human dignity (download a sample letter). We encourage you to use the following links to follow fast changing developments in immigration legislation.
The following two sites provide tools for sending e-mail to your legislator regarding immigration reforms well as information on the legislation:
Network's Legislative Action Alert Center
American Immigration Lawyers Legislative & Advocacy Center
