Our immigration policy makes any environmental or economic policies utterly futile. The passage of this bill could only be considered reasonable if there were offsets from other categories of VISAs.... 59956@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 03 Jun 2009 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_424.html#54736 My Partner is from Costa Rica. He and I have been waiting for this for 22 years. We are fortunate that we have been able to make the travel between countries work. However, it will be a major breakthrough justice and fairness when we can enjoy the same rights as any other bi-national couple. PLease write to congress to urge passage of this important legislation.... 54736@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_424.html#52838 It is time this bill was passed. This is one step closer to gaining equality for all Americans. I feel very strongly about this bill and think it will only make a stronger nation. This country is about justice for all. The basic human right to love and be with the one that loves you is what this is about. I think that is what were all wanting in life, so please pass this bill and let our President sign it into law.... 52838@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/111_SN_424.html?rev=39419 <p>S. 424 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate discrimination in the immigration laws by permitting permanent partners of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to obtain lawful permanent resident status in the same manner as spouses of citizens and lawful permanent residents and to penalize immigration fraud in connection with permanent partnerships.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to update the status of the bill!)</p> <!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc2"> Points in Favor </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to show why the bill should pass!)<br /> <!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --> </p> <h2 id="toc3"> Points Against </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to show why the bill should not pass!)<br /> <!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --> </p> 39419@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/111_SN_424.html?rev=39420 <p>S. 424 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate discrimination in the immigration laws by permitting permanent partners of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to obtain lawful permanent resident status in the same manner as spouses of citizens and lawful permanent residents and to penalize immigration fraud in connection with permanent partnerships.</p> <h2 id="toc4"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc5"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 2/12/2009: Referred to Senate committee.
