Guest Commentary
I have recently been amazed by the lack of information in press reports as well as the amazingly inaccurate and thoroughly anti-immigrant (if not anti-American) propaganda emanating from conservatives across the country whose only intent appears to be to make America a worse place for anyone trying to survive or improve their future while living in this country.

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the Democratic House re-introduced H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act, and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act:
“Today is a happy and historic day, as the Democratic House re-introduces with great pride H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act, and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act – ensuring that the immigrants who make America more American can continue to contribute to and enrich our nation.
“The House salutes Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, the godmother of H.R. 6, and Chair Zoe Lofgren, a champion of farmworkers, for their leadership. We thank the Dreamers, TPS and DED communities and farmworkers across the nation who have spoken out in defense of their rights with great dignity and eloquence, refusing to be forced back into the shadows.
