It's Been a Busy Week on Immigration

Hello Friends!

It's been a busy week here on the immigration front with the Bellingham raid (the first worksite raid under the Obama administration), the release of the president's budget, and the introduction of some positive immigration legislation in the House.

To fill you all in on what I've been doing, I've created a content-guide here with links to my blog posts on that other blog of ours--Immigration: It's Our Community.

For those of you who perhaps are not quite as (obsessively) interested in immigration issues as I am, I would direct you to the post Cocktails and Criticism: Deepak Bhargava Responds to the Bellingham Raid. Bhargava, apart from just responding to the raid, provides valuable insight on the relationship between activists and the current administration.
