>The Coalition on Family Immigration's representative, Michael Munoz, goes to
>Chicago on Sunday to meet Congressman Henry J. Hyde, Chair of House
>Judiciary Committee (Republican), who is supposed to be a key person with
>rather influential impacts on related bills in coming weeks, on H.R. 2202.
>Mr. Hyde has been quite symphathetic on H.R. 2202. But after influenced by
>vigorous lobby in the past weeks, Mr. Hyde has changed his mind somewhat
>from original "typical" Republican stands. He was now even concerned about
>the issue of harshly sweeping "illegal" immigration.
>
>IFCSS would like to appeal to CSS organizations in Chicago area, and in
>Illiois, especially those groups set particularly for immigration issues,
>and general CSS, to snatch the chance of the last several days before Labor
>Day: send fax and give calls to his district office, in order to make the

>Immigration Bill Prompts S.F. Protest
>Proposal would affect siblings, adult children
>
>Benjamin Pimentel, Chronicle Staff Writer
>
>Helen Yan Qin Feng and Ken Liang had their picture taken yesterday on Union
>Square.
>
>But they are not tourists. The Foster City couple posed with about 250
>people, mostly Chinese and Filipino immigrants, who attended a demonstration
>against a proposed bill that eliminates immigration preferences for the
>siblings and adult children of immigrants.
>
>Immigrant rights advocates said they plan to send the photo and a petition to
>members of the U.S. Congress, which is about to vote on a proposal that could
>effectively stop the immigration of more than 1.3 million Asians, many of
>whom have been on waiting lists for years.
>
>For Feng and Liang, the proposal could mean the end of their dream to be
>reunited with their 26- year-old son of Canton, China.
>
>``He's been waiting for 13 years, since he was 13 years old,'' Feng, who
>immigrated in 1982, said through an interpreter.
>
>``We pay taxes, and they're taking our rights,'' Liang said.
>
>The proposal is the latest attempt to reform the country's immigration
>policies. Several bills being considered by Congress would cut current
>immigration levels from about 800,000 people annually to about 550,000
>annually, basically by changing family ``reunification'' rules.
>
>Currently, siblings and adult children of U.S citizens can apply for
>immigration to the United States based only on their family connection.
>
>This ``preference'' would be eliminated, and those individuals would have to
>apply for immigration under some other criteria, typically one that is
>skill-based. There are fewer of these slots available, and the criteria for
>qualifying are much more rigorous.
>
>Proponents say the new rules will speed the entry of nuclear family members,
>i.e, children and parents.
>
>But immigrant rights advocates say the proposed changes are unfair to
>immigrants, mostly those from Asia and Latin America, who have been waiting
>for years to bring their families to the United States.
>
>``This is the Asian and Latino Exclusion Act of 1995,'' said Bill Ong Hing,
>professor of law at Stanford University and one of the speakers at the rally,
>referring to past policies that systematically excluded or deported Asians
>and Latinos. ``I have hope that Congress will recognize that this will impact
>predominantly communities of color. I have hope that they won't act
>radically.''
>
>The demonstration was organized by a coalition of Asian American
>organizations for immigrant rights. Angelo Ancheta, executive director of
>the Asian Law Caucus, said they want to send a message to Washington that
>immigrant reforms are ``critical issues'' for the Asian community.
>
>It is a critical concern for Joaquin Autor, a 69-year-old San Francisco
>resident who spoke at the rally. He came to the United States four years
>ago as one of thousands of Filipino World War II veterans who were granted
>U.S. citizenship.
>
>Autor said he hopes to bring his 29-year-old son to the United States.
>
>``We would like our families to come here,'' he said at the rally.
>``If this law is passed, I feel that it is cruel.''

>Dear ACCA and NCOI,

>Although I am thrilled by the news that several key Congress people, such as
>the Henry J. Hyde, Chair of House Judiciary Committee, Lamar Smith, the
>sponsor of the bill H.R. 1915 and now H.R. 2202, have been influenced by
>the extensive lobby efforts from various immigration advocacy groups and
>the immigrant communities, however, most of the voices are concentrated on
>*family-based* immigration, NOT *employment-based* ones. It is very likely
>our meek voices, are gone un-noticed and are falling on deaf ears! To make
>our noise louder, ACCA, NCOI should urge our constituents, to make as much
>noises as possible! Would-be employment-based immigrants are facing the most
>daunting challenge of all of other groups - we do not have any family
>relatives here who have the votes and the important number which may tilt
>the political scale to their favor. For each and every our constituents,
