(MIAMI, Fla.)  A radio advertisement released today, by Fight For Florida, Inc. on Spanish language radio stations across South Florida, asks Senator Rubio to stand firm in his conviction for a comprehensive immigration reform bill that is both fair and compassionate.  Recent statements made by the Senator have shown that his resolve is weakening and that he is open to compromising on the bill he drafted as a member of the “Gang of Eight” to make it even harder for the 11 million aspiring Americans to become citizens.  The advertisement asks listeners to call Senator Rubio’s office and urge him to stand firm in his convictions.

“Like so many before me, I came to America on the waves of freedom, to have a middle class life and eventually to earn American citizenship. Now, extremists want to keep me from my dream,” said Hector Capote, Cuban born member of the Communications Workers of America local 3122.

ENGLISH

Getting to the United States was hard.

 Staying here is hard.

 Why would politicians in Washington want to make it harder?

 Senator Rubio has written a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that made those of us who share his immigrant background proud, but now extremist politicians are attempting to change it to make our journey even harder.

 Call Senator Rubio and urge him to make sure his bill is a roadmap to citizenship that is fair and compassionate.

 Call Senator Rubio at (305) 418-8553 and tell him to keep standing with us.

 Senator Rubio, don’t let Washington extremists make it any harder.

Remember what WE WANT for ALL workers:

• We want to make sure the border security triggers do not thwart citizenship for the 11 million.
• We want immigrant workers to be fairly paid and fully protected so they aren’t pitted against American workers in a way that undermines the wages and working conditions of all.
• We want families, including adult children of all ages and the siblings of U.S. citizens, to be given a chance to reunite with loved ones.
• We want the definition of families to include LGBT families.
• We want to roll back harsh detention and end deportation policies, except for felons, and stop the separation of families.
• We want to ensure that immigration enforcement is properly checked by safeguards, accountability and meaningful due process.
• We want immigrants from all areas of the world, including regions historically underrepresented, to be given an equitable opportunity to be admitted to America.

Help fight against Wage Theft by signing this petition telling legislators to stop supporting Wage Thieves! SB 1216 by Senator Bradley and HB 1125 by Representative Goodson are both an attempt to overstep home rule at the expense of workers and their families, law-abiding businesses, and local economies. These bills would prevent future and already established/highly successful local wage theft programs from being implemented.
