Received this e-mail today from Senator Mark Warner (D. VA) regarding immigration reform:
It's time to fix our country's broken immigration system.
I've seen firsthand in Virginia that immigrants make our communities stronger -- they're small business owners, entrepreneurs, agricultural workers, top students, neighbors and community leaders.
Millions of young people were brought to this country illegally as children and have lived as Americans but have no path to citizenship. We train many of the world's best and brightest and then send them back to create jobs in other countries. It is absolutely clear that our immigration system is broken and something must be done to fix it.
That's why I'm supporting the bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill in the Senate that will begin to fix our immigration system. Please join my colleagues and me in the Senate by showing your support too: Add your name now:

This bill would create a fair path to citizenship with reasonable conditions, provide visas for entrepreneurs who create American jobs, and increase security on our borders. And the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office determined this week that this comprehensive reform will be good for taxpayers and reduce or long-term deficits and debts because it brings undocumented workers out of the shadow economy. The Senate's comprehensive, bipartisan bill is a common-sense approach to fixing our immigration system.
The United States Senate is debating this bill right now -- which means that we only have a short window to do everything we can to ensure this legislation becomes law.
There are many Senators who haven't publicly committed to how they'll vote on this bill -- and they need to hear that Americans want them to vote yes to fix our broken immigration system.
Make your voice heard: Show your support for immigration reform now:
