USCCB campaign: thank Sen. Rubio for support for immigration reform

April 02, 2013

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Justice for Immigrants campaign is urging those on its e-mail list to “thank Senator Rubio for his work with the Gang of Eight.”

“Anti-immigrant organizations are flooding U.S. Senator Marco Rubio's office with calls, messages and faxes attacking him for his support of immigration reform,” stated Justice for Immigrants. “A recent Washington Post article reported that one group and ‘its members have inundated the office of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) with 100,000 faxes.’”

The e-mail from Justice for Immigrants continued:

Senator Rubio needs to hear from people throughout the country that they are looking for his leadership in the Senate on this issue and that he must continue to support immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented.

Call Senator Rubio's office at 202-224-3041 or send him an email at http://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/email-senator-rubio?p=Contact and thank him for his outstanding work on the Gang of Eight and encourage him to continue with his immigration reform efforts.

The Justice for Immigrants campaign’s support for Sen. Rubio’s actions came less than a year after it strongly criticized immigration legislation proposed by the Florida senator.
