Description


Here's my posted below:

Because I immigrated to the United States, my husband contacted our U.S. Representative for guidance several years ago and we know their office quite well. We have also written her and our two U.S. Senators on several occasions to express our views on everything from net-neutrality to gun control legislation. Chellie Pingree represents the 1st district of Maine and is a Democrat. Her main interests are in small farm concerns and food waste issues but she has an active interest in many topics related to Maine citizens. I picked a topic I have never discussed with her office but is close to my heart, the upcoming legislation that might affect immigration of family members of new U.S. citizens.

Representative First District Of Maine

Dear Representative Chellie Pingree,

It is a pleasure to write to you again on a topic that that is close to my heart. As you know my mother has joined me here in the U.S. and is now working hard to obtain her U.S. citizenship. You may also know that she has applied to have her daughter who is not yet 21 join us. Everyday we hear news stories about the possibility of this visa program may be ended because of false and confusing information. We are told that MS13 gang members are flooding America because of this program and gang members are killing innocent children. Aside from the fact that MS13 was started in America not imported, the vast majority of family migrations are of parents of immigrants or young children. Perhaps most disturbing is that this program is being used for potentially selective exclusion of certain immigrant populations. It was recently reported that the Presidents wife, Ivanka Trump, succeeded in having her parents move to the U.S. and obtain green cards under the very same program that the President now wants to cut. Please join me in opposing any legislation that would restrict family reunification of new U.S. citizens.

It's great to hear the system working the way it's supposed to . You write a good letter here, detailed and specific in both your praise, what your concerns are, and what you want them to do.
