Bend, Ore--Today over a hundred supporters of Immigration Reform joined CAUSA, Central Oregon Jobs with Justice and Recursos Para Derechos Humanos at a rally in Bend to call on Congressman Walden to support Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation this year.
The rally took place during the Central Oregon town hall style TV show "Talk of the Town". During the show, U.S Congressman Greg Walden for Oregon's 2nd District shared updates on current congressional matters.
Those in attendance were calling for a humane and comprehensive immigration reform that: provides a fair and coherent path to legalization; protects U.S. and immigrant workers; allocates sufficient visas to close unlawful migration channels and thereby strengthen border security; utilizes smart, cost-effective enforcement measures that actually enhance security while protecting human rights and due process; keeps families together; promotes immigrant integration; and protects fundamental rights for all.
