In the first six months of the next year, a new Act of Immigration will be debated. The elections of November marked the course for significant change. The democratic majority in the American Congress is taking steps so that the new president is also of the same party. Will this political movement guarantee an amnesty? No! But is does a program that will legalize a great percentage of the millions of undocumented people, granting them a work permit, and possibly their residence.

But this week, think in yourself; welcome the New Year with positive thoughts. Remember that your presence is essential, because this country needs you. You are the heart, the soul, the representative of the abilities that have been done, and made the country that we are today. You are one of millions of immigrants who continue to provide the best students to our schools and universities, exceptional art to our museums, music to our concert halls, literature to our libraries, exceptional abilities to our technology, professionals and craftsmen that comprise our labor force. You are very valuable to this, now our, country. It’s because of this, that I invite you to be proud of yourself. Make yourself stronger! Congregate yourself in a church and other recognized institutions of your community.

Since I have been sharing the lives of thousands of immigrants since 1973, I know the anxiety that you feel; I understand your pain; your suffering; your feeling of persecution, and your need to enjoy the freedom that has been created by God. During 2007, I commit myself to continue analyzing the immigration subject, so that you can be legalized with knowledge and with no need to commit fraud that could change all that shining future that you have prepared. A hug, and Happy New Year!
