Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth (D. IL-08) isn't giving up in getting the House to pass comprehensive immigration reform:
I am a daughter of the American Revolution and my mom is an immigrant who proudly became a citizen in her 50s. Since coming to America, she has watched her two children serve in our nation's military and seen me elected to the United States Congress.
So many of the families in my district have stories like my mom's, about immigrants who moved here to be reunited with family or to provide a better life for their children. Like my mom, they wish to become full citizens of the country they love.
That's why I'm teaming up with my neighboring members of Congress, Brad Schneider and Bill Foster, who also represent districts with large numbers of immigrants, to advocate for an immigration system that works for our constituents.
Please join me, Congressman Brad Schneider and Congressman Bill Foster in urging House Republicans to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

While the Senate has passed comprehensive legislation, John Boehner and the GOP House leadership want to divide up immigration into several different bills rather than agree on one comprehensive solution.
That won't work for the people in my district. To fix our broken immigration system, we need a solution that secures our border and provides a pathway to citizenship for those who hope to pursue the American Dream.
While we're in our districts this month, Brad, Bill and I have held a joint press conference to build support for comprehensive reform. We're also talking with our constituents about what reform would mean for them.
