Deportation destroys families and leaves U.S. citizen children without
parents. Over 1 in 10 families are mixed status: at least 1 parent is a
non-citizen, and 1 child a citizen. We now have a vehicle to help protect our U.S.
citizen children from the devastating effects of deportation: THE CHILD CITIZEN
PROTECTION ACT (HR 1176); introduced by Congressman Jose Serrano (D-NY). The
bill would allow an immigration judge to consider the best interest of U.S.
citizen children before deporting their parent.

Please join us and invite others to discuss next steps and plan actions both
locally and nationally to promote this vital legislation. Information about
the bill is available at _http://www.thomas.loc.gov_ (http://www.thomas.loc.gov/) ,
