Oppose the CLEAR Act
American Civil Liberties Union : New Legislation Seeks to Turn Police into Immigration Agents
In another example of how the war on terrorism has turned into a war on immigrants, new legislation before the House would require overburdened local and state law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws.
The CLEAR Act (HR 2671), introduced by Representative Charlie Norwood (R-GA), would require state and local law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws even though they are not provided with additional resources or training to undertake this new role.
Numerous police departments and many conservative organizations have spoken out against this act, saying that it would hinder local law enforcement and create additional burdens on already-overburdened enforcement agencies.
Take Action! Urge your Representative to oppose the CLEAR Act.

I support the Clear Act. I think it is an idea who's time has come.
We are flooded and invaded by illegal immigration. It must be stopped.
I will urge my Representative to SUPPORT it.
