WASHINGTON, May 16 /Standard Newswire/ -- Immigration activist Colin Hanna, President of Let Freedom Ring, Inc., and its immigration project WeNeedAFence.com, will hold a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC at 12:30 PM on Thursday, May 17 to introduce a new strategy designed to break the legislative logjam in the development of immigration reform legislation.

Where: National Press Club, 529 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC

 

The centerpiece of the strategy is a different way of addressing the 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants already in the US. "None of the current proposals for dealing with undocumented aliens – mandatory deportation, voluntary deportation or some form of amnesty – is widely supported by the American public. We believe that we have developed a workable compromise that will be acceptable to Republicans and Democrats alike. Each side will need to give a little to reach this newly-defined middle ground. For the good of the nation, all parties need to find a way to negotiate the details without compromising their principles. The American public expects both leadership and cooperation from their elected representatives, and the time for action is now," Hanna said.

 

The Senate will begin floor debate on an immigration bill next week.

 

The National Press Club is located at 529 14th Street, NW. A light lunch will be served at the conference.
