Families (read spouses and minor children) of Taxpaying Legal Permanent Residents have been trying hard to have their voices heard during the current 'big' senate debate that is largely focused on ILLEGAL Aliens...
Sen Clinton submitted an "ammendment" providing some relief for such families of LPRs (below)...It got buried with the hundreds of other ammendments...any SOS way to reach out to lawmakers to make them aware of this FAMILY issue?!
