Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Last month, WV Citizen Action joined with 700 local, state, and national organizations to united behind the Reform Immigration FOR America campaign (RI4A). The campaign is partnering with Americans in nearly every state to make 2010 the year that Congress finally delivers comprehensive immigration reform that works for the economy, for taxpayers, and for families.

We have called upon U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller to support much-needed reforms that will help the American economy, and the American tax-payer. According to a report released by the Center for American Progress and the Immigration Policy Center, even during a recession a path to legalization for immigrants would add $1.5 trillion to the U.S. economy, raise the wage floor of all U.S. workers, and generate up to $5.4 billion in new tax revenues. WV Citizen Action will be the lead organization in the mountain state.
