July 14, 2009, 4:29pm (report abuse)The Reuniting Families Act 2009 should pass and be signed into law URGENTLY. The suffering of Legal Immigrants separated from their children for years and years is inhumane and is shameful for America!
Don't wait for a very difficult Comprehensive Immigration Reform. This is a separate issue and should be resolved without delay!

August 26, 2009, 12:06am (report abuse)i support this bill. i know how it feels like because i am in the same situation.senators and congressmen should approved this bill urgently. we are the people who followed the rules, pay taxes but due to broken immigration policies our family are separated. I hope they will consider this bill as asap.I dont know why you have to wait for years just to be with your children and spouse. It is heartbreaking and frustrating. I hope, this long wait will come to an to an end.

Time for change
October 19, 2009, 4:30pm (report abuse)I hear some people complain about jobs and immigration. One question. When the families are separated who takes up the slack for lack of income? The taxpayers! If the families are kept as a whole then both parents can work to support the family and not government programs. The separation is hard in many ways. With all the violence we see today it's important children have both parents to guide them. The children and parents deserve the right to be together. I hope this bill is approved soon. I strongly SUPPORT this bill. This is America where we learn freedom. That tells me we are free to love whom we want. Unfortunately love is not a planned thing it is something that happens. No individual should be punished for loving someone. When individuals with no criminal record are separated more than one person is punished. We need to get this bill approved into law so our families can be whole.

November 27, 2009, 10:19pm (report abuse)Keeping families apart should not be the consequences of law abiding tax paying legal permanent residence..We have followed the laws and paid our taxes and we should demand more than just lip service in return.We will one day become voting citizens and we shall all remember who stood against our familt's unity.
