This new vision for American has to recognize the innumerable contributions that the immigrant community has made to this country by passing Comprehensive Immigration Reform that:
 Provide a path to permanent resident status and citizenship for all our communities
 Reunite families and reduce immigration backlogs
 Provide opportunities for safe future migration and maintain worker protections
 Respect the safety and security of all in immigration law enforcement
 Recognize immigrants' full humanity and eliminate barriers to full civic participation
 Restore fundamental civil rights of immigrants that have been strongly fractured since September 11.
 Ask the city council of Santa Maria, the chief of police, and the mayor to setup a public forum, to look for avenues to solve the massive cars confiscation issue ####
