Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Petition

From the website of Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform:

"As a Christian, I believe my faith calls me to view all people, regardless of citizenship status, as made in the 'image of God' and deserving of respect; to show compassion for the stranger and love and mercy for my neighbor; and to balance the rule of law with the call to oppose unjust laws and systems when they violate human dignity.

"These biblical principles compel me to support immigration reform legislation that is consistent with humanitarian values, supports families, provides a pathway to citizenship for immigrant workers already in the U.S., expands legal avenues for workers to enter the U.S. with their rights and due process fully protected, and examines solutions to address the root causes of migration.

"I believe the current U.S. immigration system is broken and reform is necessary. I call on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform with the above elements by the end of this year."

If you agree, go here to sign the petition.
