The Latin American Theological Fraternity (FTL by its initials in Spanish) invites you to a panel discussion on undocumented migration from Latin America to the United States. Three theologians from Latin America, or with extensive Latin American experience, will reflect on the issue of the missiological implications of undocumented migration from Latin America.
Urge your representative to reject the “SAVE Act”!
Pressure is mounting in the Democratic-led House of Representatives to act on the “SAVE Act“ (HR 4088), an enforcement and deportation-only bill introduced and sponsored by more than 140 Democratic and Republican opponents of humane immigration reform.
To take action:
Call the Capitol Switchboard today at 202-225-3121
Or send/fax email to their offices in Southern California.
What would the SAVE Act do?
- It would require more than six million employers to verify the work status of more than 130 million workers within four years, regardless of their status, using a federal database already known to have an unacceptably high error rate.
- It would make it easier for the government to put religious and humanitarian workers behind bars for so-called “alien smuggling.”
- In a half-baked attempt to address our immigration crisis, the bill would throw more resources toward ineffective border and interior enforcement rather than offer a comprehensive solution.
Who supports the SAVE Act?
The chief co-sponsors of the SAVE Act are Rep. Heath Shuler (D-North Carolina) and Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-California). Rep. Bilbray leads the House Immigration Reform Caucus and is a former lobbyist of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an anti-immigration organization recognized as a hate group by mainstream civil rights and research organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.
