On December 10th, Staff and Members of both the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the American Immigration Council (AIC) joined together to fast (no food) for 24 hours to support the need for Immigration Reform. AILA is using this event to show its support for the group “Fast4Families” which has been fasting for more than 20 days to push congress to pass Immigration Reform in this country! AILA Executive Director Crystal Williams stated, “I joined this fast for one simple reason: because our country needs House leadership to bring immigration reform legislation up for a vote.”
