			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are calling on ALL supporters of Comprehensive Immigration Reform to join us to let Senator Ron Wyden know that we want Comprehensive Immigration Reform NOW!!</p>
<p><strong>Town Hall with Senator Ron Wyden</strong><br />
August 27<sup>th</sup>, 2009 at 12:30 at<br />
Abraham Lincoln Elementary School <br />
1301 McLoughlin (off of Delta Waters)<br />
Medford, Oregon<br />
During this public event, UNETE, CAUSA and SOUTHERN Oregon allies will actively participate in this Town Hall and call on Senator Wyden to support Comprehensive Immigration Reform and Health Care legislation this year for Oregon and for America.</p>
<p><strong>For more information call UNETE at (541) 245-1625. </strong></p>
<p>The Facts:<br />
Congress needs to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform! To get there, we need to reach the crucial number of 279 votes: 218 votes in the House of Representatives, 60 votes in the Senate, and 1 President</p>
<p>US Senator RON WYDEN is a key vote and he needs to hear from you ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 27!</p>
<p>Why we need Comprehensive Immigration Reform?</p>
<p>• The immigration system is badly broken: it splits our families and hurts our communities<br />
• The need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform is urgent, and the time for reform is now, this year, in 2009.<br />
• We need to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform because it represents a workable solution that moves our country forward and acts on our shared values.</p>
<p>Immigration Reform Must:</p>
<p>• Promote Economic Opportunity: Develop job opportunity and fair wages not only for immigrant workers, but for all low-income Americans;<br />
• Be Comprehensive: Fix the broken immigration system;<br />
• Create a path towards legalization for 12 million immigrants in our country;<br />
• Keep American Families Together</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The Oregonian ran a story on &#8220;T&#8221; and &#8220;U&#8221; visas designed to help protect undocumented immigrants who are victims of crime.</p>
<p>The program, according to the article is not very well known. And, although there has been a law in place for 9 years to protect immigrants who are crime victims, the Government has only recently started approving the &#8220;T&#8221; and &#8220;U&#8221; visas.</p></div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>The T visa provides legal status for victims of trafficking, including those who are recruited for labor or services through force, fraud or coercion. And the U visa is for victims of crimes such as murder, assault, rape and sexual exploitation.</p></blockquote>
<p>The T and U visas allow applicants to secure legal status, a work permit good for four years, and a petition for family members.</p>
<p>For the complete story, please link <a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/07/littleknown_visas_free_immigra.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #006245;">here</span></a></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Imagine waking up to pounding on your front door, you and your kids forced to the floor in your pajamas, heavily armed agents rifling their way through your home as the kids scream out in terror.</p>
<p>Now, imagine armed federal agents barging into your home without legal consent.</p>
<p>Last week, the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law called the government&#8217;s pre-dawn immigration raids on family homes &#8220;unconstitutional&#8221; and said that a &#8220;cowboy mentality&#8221; over at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been doing serious harm.</p>
<p>So far, DHS has refused to investigate or acknowledge these and other serious charges.</p></div>

<p>It&#8217;s time for real immigration reform, not more &#8220;cowboy&#8221; enforcement tactics.</p></div>
