Protect Immigrants

Our immigration system is inhumane, racist, and classist.  It takes too long to become a citizen.  Undocumented Americans live under a militarized police state.  Asylum seekers are too often turned away or subjected to terrible conditions.  We need to end our current system and replace it with one that is just, accessible, and fair.

 

Our Vision & Core Policies

End Mass Deportations

  • Abolish ICE & replace it with a passport verification and control agency

  • End workplace raids

  • Close the border camps

  • Guarantee the right to counsel in immigration court and ensure due process for every immigrant

A Just Pathway to Citizenship

  • Ensure that all DACA recipients are protected from deportation and given an expedited pathway to citizenship

  • Create a path to citizenship for all undocumented people in the country that does not place a financial burden on them 

Expand Refugee Programs

  • Significantly raise the number of refugees our country accepts

  • Protect gender-based asylum claims

  • Create a plan to accomodate the coming influx of climate refugees as the effects of global warming worsen

Create a More Welcoming Society

  • Expand multilingual services and information at the federal level of government

  • Support Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s Embrace Act, which will expand immigrants’ access to social programs.
