Share this: Immigration reform means great things for the economy

Now that lawmakers in the Senate have come together to pass a bipartisan piece of legislation to fix our broken immigration system, it's up to the House of Representatives to do the same.

And that makes this the perfect time to learn more about the issue.

In the days ahead, those members of Congress have to make a choice about the right way to reform immigration -- or if they want to proceed at all. As the national debate begins in earnest, we want to make sure you have information you need to answer questions in your community.

So check out this video, then share it so that people know that immigration reform makes a ton of sense for the economy.

Watch and share this video on the economic benefits of immigration reform

My black history was not white enough for the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith.

 It's me the President of the Black Independent Party. Robert  Gilyard.  First black man to get a law degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith in 2007. The first class that graduated from the college.. I am black history in Fort Smith Arkansas. But the whites at the University of Arkansas is bringing their own form of black people to represent our city and they're supposed to be representations of black folks from our city. How can I respect my Alumni when I see the same issues that were there when I was a student. These black folks don't do nothing but go to a college. Then go home. They ignore us. But they are the white people's favorite. Now we have to listen another year and watch them applaud them people that don't give a fuk about us. Because that's how black folks are in this area. They're just like white people they just have black face on. Over a hundred years our people in this town are ignored. And when we finally get a little bit of a...

Team Trump: stop obstructing the AMERICAN PEOPLE’S MANDATE.

Image
  Robert Louis, Democrats have absolutely NOTHING to offer our country. After their BILLION-DOLLAR election loss, all Democrats have done is OBSTRUCT President Trump and maniacally scream the word “RUSSIA” until they’re blue in the face. They’ve sparked protests in the streets, refused to approve White House nominees, destroyed our health care system, and used the media to spew vicious rhetoric against the President.    ENOUGH! Tell Democrats: It’s time to stop obstructing the AMERICAN PEOPLE’S MANDATE.    Add your name to our official petition now. >> By refusing to work with President Trump, Democrats are choosing to IGNORE the millions of Americans who voted for our America First platform last November. Democrats had no problem rigging their primary against Bernie Sanders and his supporters -- and now they’re choosing to strip the Silent Majority of their new-found voice in our country. You will NEVER hear the media report this. But...

Scarlett: tell them thanks from me!

Robert -- I think you know by now how incredibly high the stakes are on November 4th, especially for women. And if we don't want to wake up on November 5th and find ourselves on the fast track back in time on women's rights, it's critical that Democrats vote. That starts with you, Robert. Will you take a moment to confirm your polling place, and then forward this email to three of your friends? http://my.democrats.org/Lookup If the Republicans take back the Senate, one of the first things they will try to dismantle will be a woman's right to make her own personal health care decisions. This year, I have been appalled again and again by decisions from the GOP and even the Supreme Court that attack a woman's right to choose, and this is our chance to take action. Our votes on Tuesday are all that can stop Republicans from doing even more damage.  So please, even if you remember your polling place, take a moment to confirm that it hasn't changed, and check that yo...

Jeff: up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change.

Image
    I have exciting news, Robert: On Tuesday, President Obama announced a  permanent  ban on Arctic drilling, a groundbreaking move which will protect this pristine region and its sensitive ecosystems for decades to come. You did this, Robert : This announcement is the direct result of citizen advocacy like the petition you and I and thousands of others signed to protect the Arctic Ocean from gas and oil drilling.  Together, we stood up for our planet by calling for a ban on Arctic drilling – and our efforts have paid off. There’s no doubt Donald Trump will try to undo this ban – and while the law is clearly on our side,  we must remain vigilant and ready to block any attempt at reversing President Obama’s decision. Our fight to stop climate change is far from over, and I’m working hard every day to keep up the pressure in the Senate to combat climate change. Thank you for fighting with me.

Huma Abedin: Where meaningful action begins

Image
  Robert,    If you’ve ever left a conference wondering what now? — you’re not alone. That’s why I believe so deeply in the Clinton Global Initiative.   At CGI, the conversations don’t end when the meeting does. They lead to real partnerships, real commitments, and lasting results. It's a space where people from all walks of life come together to share and take action.   If you’re ready to move from intention to impact, I hope you’ll be part of CGI 2025. I’ve seen the power of CGI up close — not just in the headlines, but in the way it brings people together to deliver real solutions. Whether it’s expanding access to health care, advancing gender equity, or mobilizing resources in response to crisis, CGI helps turn shared purpose into measurable progress.   That kind of work doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people show up, bring their full selves, and commit to doing the hard work together.   This September, we’ll come together again in N...

Mikie: We are tied 43 to 43 in New Jersey, I need Black Independents support.

Image
Every single day since he took office in January, it seems like Donald Trump has found new ways to abuse his power and make life harder for our families. He’s illegally withheld funding that New Jerseyans rely on for child care, for health care, and for access to healthy food. He’s deployed the National Guard to American cities in a transparent attempt to instill terror and fear. He signed a devastating spending bill that guts Medicaid access and makes everything from groceries to heating your home less affordable — all to give billionaires a giant tax cut. And honestly, that’s just a fraction of it. As Trump has inflicted all this damage on our country, Republican politicians like Jack Ciattarelli have cheered him on every step of the way. There is seemingly nothing Trump can do — no matter how illegal, reckless, or outright devastating for New Jersey families — that would make Jack Ciattarelli say “enough is enough.” And ,  polls show that Ciattarelli is within a few percentage p...
