I will ask my sleazy Congressman Weaver tomorrow what he thinks. I need to call him anyway...again.

Here is a response to my petition from Congressman Beto O'Rourke

Of course there was nothing about supporting my petition.

I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

The immigration system in this country is broken. Legal pathways into the United States are taking decades as difficult and confusing requirements are delaying the process for many immigrants. The population of undocumented persons grew to over 11.5 million in 2011.

Our current immigration laws do not reflect reality. Our country’s economic vitality relies on immigration and immigrants from around the world still view the U.S. as a land of opportunity. The focus on border security has led to unacceptable wait times at our international bridges and ports of entry. When it can take up to four hours for someone in Juarez to come to El Paso to shop, our local economy suffers.

We need to fix this problem. That is why I cosponsored the House version of comprehensive immigration reform, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (H.R. 15), which has more than 190 bipartisan cosponsors. On March 26, 2014, I signed a discharge petition asking Speaker Boehner to allow us to vote on this important legislation. I also introduced the bipartisan American Families United Act (H.R. 3431). This bill would give authority to immigration judges to review specific cases for Americans who are separated from their families due to minor earlier immigration violations, or due to an incident when the family member was a minor.

As El Pasoans living in a bi-national city built on immigration and cross border trade, we have a unique perspective to bring to the immigration debate. I will bring that perspective to Congress and work on a solution that not only treats immigrants in search of the American dream fairly, but will economically and socially benefit El Paso and the rest of the nation.

It was here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/478070-amanda-knox-and-raffaele-sollecito-guilty-of-kercher-italy-murder/?hl=%2Bknox#entry6792134

But has since expired. I think the whitehouse.gov petitions are only good for 2 or 3 months.

No problem. It will be awhile before I piss off the newbie Congressman. Right now I can get away with the appropriate "boo hoos" "pleases" and stuff like that.
