Comprehensive Immigration Reform

The current U.S. immigration system is in need of fundamental reform. NCLR supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes the following principles: 1) restoring order by getting the 12 million undocumented people in our country to come forward, obtain legal status, learn English, and assume the rights and responsibilities of citizenship while creating smart enforcement policies that uphold national security and the Constitution; 2) cracking down on unscrupulous employers whose practices undermine conditions for all workers; 3) unclogging legal channels to reunite families and allow future workers to come in with the essential rights and protections that safeguard our workforce; and 4) enacting proactive measures to advance the successful integration of new immigrants into our communities.
