Deportations Of Law-Abiding, Younger Illegal Immigrants To Stop
“The Obama administration announced today that it will stop deporting younger illegal immigrants who came to the country as children and have no criminal history.”
Read the rest of the story from NPR here.
Relief, Work Permits Offered to Certain Immigrants
“This week a very broad and deep table of Evangelical leaders called on the political leaders of both parties to fix that broken system and protect ‘the stranger’ whom Christ calls us to defend. As Evangelicals we love the ‘good news’ of the gospel, and today we affirm this good news that gives hope and a future for young immigrants who are an important part of both the church and this country.”
Read the rest of this Christian perspective from Sojourners here.
Obama anuncia que dejará de expulsar a jóvenes inmigrantes sin papeles
“El anuncio presidencial, histórico como otros hechos en el pasado reciente –apoyo al matrimonio homosexual-, adelanta por la derecha a la lenta legislación -conocida como Dream Act- que desde hace 10 años se lleva a cabo en el Congreso y que fue bloqueada de nuevo por los republicanos hace menos de un par de años. Los llamados ‘dreamers’ (soñadores) –se estima su total en unos 800.000- son “americanos de corazón y mente en todos los aspectos excepto en los papeles”, ha informado Obama.”

UPDATE 6.16.12
Obama to Permit Young Migrants to Remain in U.S.
“They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper,” President Obama said in announcing the new policy in the White House Rose Garden on Friday.

Deported Moms With American Children Separated On Mother’s Day
(from the Huffington Post)
As the rest of the nation celebrates the importance of motherhood Sunday, thousands of young Americans will, for the first time, be without their moms on Mother’s Day.
About 22 percent of all undocumented immigrants deported in the first half of 2011 were parents of U.S.-born children. As part of the Obama administration’s record-setting deportation year, between January and June 2011, 46,486 undocumented mothers and fathers received orders to leave the country and were forced to decide what to do with their U.S.-born children. While in some instances, deported parents decide to bring their children with them, parents thinking it was in their child’s best interest, left them with relatives, neighbors, or friends in the United States.

Fact: Every day, as many as 11,000 kids die from hunger and related causes. Some starve. Some get sick and waste away. Either way, this is not okay with us.
Our youth group is doing World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine. We don’t think it’s right that thousands of kids are dying from hunger every day. So we’re doing something about it.
We’re going without food for 30 hours to raise money so others can eat. Here’s how you can help:
1. Pray. Ask God to bless our students as they overcome hunger.
2. Volunteer. Com join us during our Famine Weekend.
3. Give. Just $30 can help feed and care for a child for a month.
Donate at our webpage or give us a check made out to World Vision. Every donation is tax deductible!
Our Famine dates: Saturday, February 25 – Sunday, February 26
Our goal: To raise $1,500 to help feed and care for 50 hungry kids.
Contact: Call Launa Prince at 818.268.7421 or email launa_prince@hotmail.com
Hecho: Cada dia, casi 11,000 niños/as mueren por falta de comida y relacionadas causas. Algunos se mueren de hambre. Algunos se enferman y se consumen. Cual sea la manera, no esta bien.
Nuestro grupo de jóvenes hara la Hambruna de 30 Horas de World Vision. No creemos que es justo que milles de niños/as mueren por falta de comida cada dia. Asi que estamos haciendo algo.
No comeremos por 30 horas para recaudar dinero para que otros puedan comer. Ustedes pueden ayudar por medio de:
1. Orar. Pidele a Dios a bendecir nuestros estudiantes mientras que pasan con hambre.
2. Participar. Done su tiempo durante nuestra fin de semana de Hambruna.
3. Donar. Solo $30 puede ayudar a dar comida y cuidar un/a niños/as por un mes.
Done por medio de nuestra página de internet aqui o danos un cheque hecho a World Vision. ¡Cada donaciós es desgravable!
Nuestras fechas para la hambruna: sábado, 25 de febrero – domingo, 26 de febrero
Nuestro gol: Recaudar $1,500 para dar comida y cuidado para 50 niños/as que están pasando con hambre.
Comuniquese con Launa Prince al 818.268.7421 o launa_prince@hotmail.com.
