Immigration Reform

We believe that true reform should:

• Offer a short and direct path to citizenship for all aspiring citizens already in the United States;
• Respect the dignity of every individual and end the mass detention and deportation of immigrants;

• Reunite and strengthen families through the elimination of immigration backlogs;

• Build trust between immigrant communities and local police by limiting state and local enforcement of federal immigration law;

• Strengthen our economy by protecting workers’ rights, and meeting Virginia’s need for a trained workforce by providing access to education for all; and,

• Honor our history as a nation of immigrants by welcoming, celebrating, and promoting the full economic and political integration of this most recent generation of immigrants.
