There are 80 of them. I will not read them all. but I want to give a sense of some who have moral authority behind them. as it relates to saying the Senate should adopt this amendment: The Church World Service. the Hebrew Immigrant Aids Society. the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service: the Mennonite Central Committee. NETWORK. a National Catholic Social Justice Lobby. the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations: the United Methodist Church: the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. and a whole host of organizations that are not religious in nature but clearly are advocates from all of the different sectors of society: For example. the Asian American Justice Center. the Asian and Pacific Islander American Health Forum. the Federation of IndoAmerican Seniors Association of North America. the Friends Committee on National Legislation. the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. the National Council of La Raza. the National Korean American Service & Education Consortium. to mention a few. They all believe this Senate should be putting its votes where its values are. into the reunification of families. Finally. I know there will be an attempt to offer what we call a sidebyside. something to try to produce a figleaf for those who dont want to be seen as casting a vote against family reunification. a vote against snuffing out the rights of U.S. citizens. And that figleaf actually would do absolutely nothing. What it would do is guarantee the underlying bill.
