Original publisher: Washington : U.S. G.P.O., 2010. LC Number: KF26 .J8 2010j OCLC Number: (OCoLC)694362006 Subject: Emigration and immigration law -- United States. Excerpt: ... 11 Maintaining integrity and efficiency in these systems should not be a Republican or Democratic issue.

By passing this bill and offering fair treatment and safe haven to refugees, we can illustrate to the world and to our own citizens our strength, our confidence, and our compassion. Most impor-tantly, we should continue, through our laws and through our ac-tions, to be the spire of light that elicits hope and safety as we em-brace and welcome the persecuted into our homes, our cities, and our communities.
