PRINCIPLES FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM

We support:

• Comprehensive reform addressing both future economic needs for future workers and undocumented workers already in the United States.
• Reform that strengthens national security by providing for the screening of foreign workers and creating a disincentive for illegal immigration.
• Reform that strengthens the rule of law by establishing clear, sensible immigration laws that are efficiently and vigorously enforced.
• Reform that creates an immigration system that functions efficiently for employers, workers, and government agencies.
• Reform that creates a program that allows hard working, tax paying undocumented workers to earn legal status.
• Reform that ensures that U.S. workers are not displaced by foreign workers.
• Reform that ensures that all workers enjoy the same labor law protections.

We oppose:

• Divisive legislation that would be harmful to employers and immigrant workers.
