Berkshire Immigrant Center to Host Meeting on Comprehensive Immigration Reform02:46PM / Thursday, June 04, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. - The Berkshire Immigrant Center will sponsor a community meeting on the current status of immigration legislation and Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The event will take place on June 18th from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the First Baptist Church, 88 South Street, Pittsfield, MA. The event is free, and immigrants’, advocates, and the general public are invited to attend.
President Obama has made it clear that he is committed to enacting comprehensive immigration legislation during the early stages of his presidency. The meeting will present facts about the current immigration landscape, offer legislative updates, and focus on proposed facets of immigration reform including increasing the number of available humanitarian and non-immigrant visas, family reunification, Border Security and enforcement policies, the Dream Act, AgJobs, and a legalization program that will provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.
The meeting will be facilitated by Marcony Almeida, Director of Organizing, at the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA). This is a great opportunity for immigrants, immigrant advocates, and interested community members to gather, learn, and address ways to work together to help fight for practical solutions that benefit us all and are rooted in the restoration of the rule of law, earned citizenship, united families, and fair treatment of workers.
“There is no doubt that our current immigration system is not working for American citizens, permanent residents, and the undocumented and their families. We need Comprehensive Immigration Reform that is just and fair and addresses all sides of the issue – economics, enforcement, security, but above all family reunification and humanity,” stated Hilary Greene Director of the Berkshire Immigrant Center. “We invite the public to learn about proposed legislation, dispel myths, and rally their support.”
The Berkshire Immigrant Center assists individuals and families in making the economic, psychological and cultural adjustment to a new land, not only by meeting basic needs, but also by helping them to become active participants in this society. The Center provides citizenship assistance, immigration information, advocacy, referrals and counseling to the growing immigrant communities in Berkshire County.
