Received this e-mail from Senator Chris Coons (D. DE) today:
Our country has earned its place in the world because of the immigrants that came before us, bringing with them their culture, passion and ideas.
Today, our immigration system is broken and doesn’t reflect our American values. It puts an unnecessary, unwarranted, and unfair cost on families, on civil liberties, and on human dignity.
We can fix it.
There’s a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform bill on the Senate floor right now. It provides credible ways for undocumented immigrants to apply for legalization and citizenship, ways to keep families together, and ways to protect American workers.
This is our first opportunity in decades to truly fix our broken immigration system – but right now we’re short of the 60 votes needed in the Senate to pass the bill. Please take action today to let every senator know that it’s time for reform.

Before the Judiciary Committee passed the comprehensive immigration reform bill with a bipartisan 13-5 vote, eight of my amendments were accepted. These amendments protect DREAMers from discrimination and ensure that the immigration process is fair for all.
The immigration bill before the Senate is strong, and it’s bipartisan. Even so, we’re still a few votes short of the 60 needed to break a filibuster.
With your help, we can ensure that Congress acts this year to enact the long-overdue reforms to our nation's immigration system so we can properly welcome the next generation of new Americans.
