Immigration

Our Values

All people are entitled to human rights and dignity regardless of country of origin or lack of documentation.

Immigration is an issue of global displacement and disproportionate distribution of wealth – not of Homeland Security. We require that the causal relationship between foreign and trade policy and the increase in undocumented immigration be addressed in all immigration legislation without further criminalizing or stigmatizing immigrants.

2010 Policy Priorities

• Establish a guest worker program to allow migrant workers to legally work n the US without violating immigration law
• End deportation or detention, without due process of law, of any person that is a primary or sole caregiver for a minor child or disabled dependent regardless of citizenship status
• Streamline and expedite legalization for immigrants fleeing from area of war, genocide, and political oppression
• Create a path to citizenship for undocumented people already residing within the United States
• Reintroduction and passage of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, which allows children of undocumented immigrants temporary residency to allow them to pursue higher education
