                    A Public Rally At Time Square

            (In front of Marriott Hotel, 45 th & Broadway)

           Time:  August 4, Friday  12:00 (noon) to 1:00 pm

IFCSS Headquarters Contacted the  organizers  of the  Time  Square Rally
scheduled tomorrow and called "Justice for Immigrants", to   protest the
anti-immigration bill, sponsored by Asian American Legal Legal Defense &
Education, American Labor Alliance,   AFL-CIO, Center for    Immigration 
Rights, National Asian Pacific  American    Bar Association, United Farm 
Workers, etc. and appeals to  Chinese  students and scholars in New York 
area, especially those in New York University, City  University of   New 
York and other schools,    to participate in the event, to show the con-
cerns, strength and unity to the American public. IFCSS regional council   
member residing in New York City will attend the rally.

Anti-immigration sentiments are sweeping the nation and  the   halls  of
congress. The Congress is currently considering legistration that denies 
access to federal programs even to legal immigrants and  U.S.   citizens 
solely because they originally came here as immigrants.   There are also
proposals to dramatically reduce legal immigration by preventing  family
reunification.

Blaming immigrants for American's problem solves nothing.   Instead   it
distracts us from confronting our nation's real challenges.    Immigrant
scapegoating will divide the nation along ethnic lines and attacks   the 
very core of values that hold us together as a society.   America cannot 
afford to tolerate this blatant discrimination!

There are some other  rallies  which  will  be  scheduled  in major U.S.
cities. IFCSS will get CSS community informed upon the final   confirma-
tion by the Headquarters.
