What would you tell a senator about immigration?

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has proposed the outline of an immigration policy overhaul that includes a path to citizenship. President Obama will outline his immigration proposals today in Las Vegas, but for now, we want to hear from you.

If you had the ear of a senator, or even President Obama himself, what would you want to share about your own experience with America's immigration system? And based on your experience, what changes would you make to the way the system currently operates?

If your family or friends have experience with immigration, we'd also love to hear from them.
