In order for the lobby to succeed on this occasion there must be far closer links between the lobby groups form the various ethnic sides. The coordination of the ILIR lobbying days in Washington, D.C. which were very successful when thousands attended should be recreated with all ethnic groups participating so that the message goes out loud and clear to legislators that this issue remains front and center for millions of Americans.

The reality is that Obama is a very different president than George W. Bush, one who means what he says and appears to have a golden touch when it comes to getting legislation passed.

He needs to see a visible lobby in support of immigration reform, and to see that ethnic groups of many colors favor his legislation. ILI|R can play an invaluable role in bringing that point home. The time for unity and action is now.
