Sample letter to member of Congress - Adapt at will and add a personal touch if possible
Re: Compassionate immigration reform
Dear Senator/Representative …,
Immigrants enrich our communities economically, culturally
and socially. New Americans, including those without papers, are
family-oriented, hard-working and conscientious members of my community. Too
many live with uncertainty and anxiety because of laws mismatched to the
dynamism of this country.
Immigration has been a pillar of the United States.
Newcomers add vibrancy to the country. Outdated laws hold them and us back in
economic, societal and political ways. Reform must heal the system and our
divisive politics.
I ask that you work with your colleagues to reestablish a
forward-thinking immigration system that honors our past; revitalizes the
economy; respects fundamental human dignity; accepts all immigrants, including
those without papers, into our society; and reinforces the core values of the
United States.
Immigrants are vital to my community and to others across
the country. Please remember that as you work for the better good of Utah and
the United States.
Thank you for your attention and for your public service.
