Now ICIRR is engaging in a full frontal assault on Emanuel, by
coordinating attack adds with Blue America. The ads planted in local
papers ask a simple question. “Why is Congressman Emanuel Betraying Our Friends and Families?”:
“The immigrant community is not on Congressman Emanuel’s radar,
even though the 5th Congressional District is one of the most diverse
districts in the nation. In his own District, legal permanent residents
struggle to become US Citizens as they fight red tape, higher fees, and
citizenship delays – you name it, and his constituents are still
waiting for him to show leadership on immigration reform. If our own
Congressman will not champion ourrights as immigrants, who will?”-
Monika Starczuk, Resident 5th Congressional District
Many of our community and religious leaders understand
the dreams of our families, friends and neighbors to make a better life
for their children. Why can’t Representative Rahm Emanuel? With our
families and communities under attack, we need strong leadership – not
political cowardice.
Call Congressman Emanuel now at (773) 267-5926 and tell
him “Stop being afraid to fight for immigrants, and start acting like a
real leader.

problems associated with migration. I just wanted to make this effort
known because I think it is a good pro-migrant effort and I support it.
