Floridians to Rally for Immigrant Rights During President Bush's Visit to
Miami Mobilize Now.

When: Monday May 20, 2002

Where: Ingram Park, 4751 W. Ingram Terrace.  Bush will attend a fundraising
dinner at the home of Armando Codina near the park.  (From US 1 go south on

Juene and W. Ingram Terrace.  Coral Gables police have informed us that
parking will be available at the park.)

When: 6 p. m.

Why:
I.	New federal and Florida policies deny immigrants
        basic rights, making our communities unsafe.

A.      Noncitizens in Florida in need of driver's licenses are being
discriminated against and even US citizens have
had their licenses confiscated.

B.  The Attorney General and the head of Florida Law Enforcement want to
give local police officers the ability to arrest and detain immigrants for
INS purposes.

C. Visitors and businesspersons with no ties to terrorism will be limited to
30 day stays, seriously impacting our economy and wasting precious resources
needed to target terrorists.

II.	Over 250 Haitian asylum seekers have been singled
out for special discriminatory treatment and languish in Miami jails.
