Immigration Reform Activist Turned FAIR Field Representative
As it became increasingly evident that the federal government was not prepared to address the concerns of the American public and institute sensible immigration reform, FAIR made a strategic decision to promote immigration reform from the grassroots up. Over the past several years, FAIR increased its outreach to activist groups around the country that work to promote immigration enforcement at the local level. Within the past six months, we have been fortunate to be able to add two new field representatives who are busy full-time working for real immigration enforcement all across the country.
Rosanna Pulido began working for immigration reform as a citizen activist in Chicago. Living in a sanctuary city, it was easy for her to see the impact of mass immigration. As a police dispatcher Rosanna saw first hand the dangers false identification poses for law enforcement officers. In 2003 she drove six hours to a FAIR summit in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she learned that there were many things that ordinary citizens could do to bring about common sense changes in our immigration policies.
As a field representative for FAIR, Rosanna’s goal is to help form and support activists groups in eleven states, engage thousands more citizens to win back America’s immigration policies, and to build on the groundswell of momentum resulting from the defeat of last year’s amnesty bill.
In 2008, Rosanna is planning legislative workshops across the country that will educate immigration reform activists and make them effective in their quest to bring about policy changes at the local and national level.
