I urge you to support HR 603, a bill to provide for adjustment of immigration
status for certain aliens granted temporary protected status in the United
States because of conditions in Montserrat.  As you know, several years ago a
large number of people from Montserrat lost everything to the volcanic
eruptions that devastated their island, and were forced to flee to other
countries.  292 of them are in the United States, and have just been informed
that the Department of Homeland Security plans to end their temporary protected
status in February.  These people have worked hard to build new lives in the
United States, and have come to the United States specifically because they
believe in the American ideals of opportunity and hard work.  (Others from
Montserrat chose to go to Britain.)  Many of them have children who are United
States citizens and who know no other country or culture.  These 292 innocent
and hard-working people should not be allowed to become yet another set of
victims of the culture of suspicion that has become ever more the norm in the
American immigration system during the past three years.

HR 603 is currently stalled in the Judiciary Committee.  I hope that you'll
communicate with your colleagues who may be able to move it out of committee
and to a floor vote while there is still time.
