Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Take Action in support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Our nation urgently needs an effective and practical immigration system that will reflect the best of America's values. Please join President Rosales and our LULAC members across the country in holding in-district meetings with your elected representatives to urge their support of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform package that will:

  • Reduce the backlog of individuals seeking residency or citizenship and restructure the naturalization process in a manner that is streamlined, consistent, fair, and equitable for those seeking US Citizenship,
  • Include a family reunification component and a pathway to legalization for 11 million persons seeking documentation,
  • Ensure strong worker protections are in place before any "guest worker" type provisions are considered,
  • Address our enforcement needs in a manner that is just, and consistent with our existing due process and civil rights laws.

A Nation of Immigrants

Throughout our country's history, immigrants have contributed immensely to our culture, our economy, our defense and our national pride. Almost all citizens of the United States are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants and each new generation of immigrants has reinvigorated our nation with the values and work ethic that has made America great. Our common experience has demonstrated that immigration is good for America, whether your ancestors arrived before the Declaration of Independence or just a generation ago. LULAC calls upon Congress and the President to embrace and uphold America's tradition as a nation of immigrants and pass comprehensive immigration reform that allows hard working immigrants and their families to become permanent legal residents of the United States.

“We are horrified," said LULAC National President Rosa Rosales. "This law opens the doors to racial profiling. It requires police officers, if they form a 'reasonable suspicion' that someone is an illegal immigrant, to determine the person’s immigration status.”
