Support Immigrant Rights in the Wake of Sept. 11 

The tragedy of Sept. 11 changed the lives of millions, but none more so than the community of undocumented workers and other immigrants. Before Sept. 11, this nation, from grassroots activists to DC politicians, was involved in a far-reaching debate on legalization of undocumented workers. The call for a general amnesty for 10 million workers extended from the halls of congress to President Vicente Fox of Mexico. There was hope for an amnesty program that would change the lives of millions of the hardest working but poorest residents of the US. Now racism threatens the progress made. The new USA Patriot anti-terrorism bill is now law and puts all immigrants at risk for arbitrary arrest, detention, and deportation.
