Joseph Crowley (D--NY) joined workers of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) yesterday to kick off a campaign to send 1,000 postcards to President Bush calling for general amnesty for immigrants. Crowley said that he felt proud to join his union friends in demanding that President Bush and Republican congressmen remain true to their promise of compassionate conservatism. I have the pleasure to represent some of the most diverse regions of this country in Queens and the Bronx. Modification of their legal status would directly increase the quality of life for undocumented workers who are dedicated to this country. These men and women are the bedrock of the American economy, said Crowley. The congressman has consistently supported amnesty for immigrants, and is one of the original supporters of a plan for comprehensive legislation, H.R. 500, that was proposed by Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (IL). Finally, Crowley affirmed his belief in allowing immigrants who are dedicated to their work, contributing to the prosperity of the nation, obeying the laws of this country, and who want a better life for their children to become legal citizens.
