The United States is a nation of immigrants with a long, proud history of granting asylum to those fleeing from religious or political persecution. But "security reform" legislation introduced in Congress makes a mockery of that tradition. House Judiciary Committee Chairman, James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), has proposed a bill that would permit officials to require asylum seekers to provide evidence of their persecution issued by the persecuting governments themselves.

Take Action! Urge your Representative to oppose this unnecessary assault on immigrants that would undermine our national commitment to freedom and liberty:
