  • Requires any temporary worker programs to provide full labor and civil rights protections, including rights to organize, change jobs, and remain with families, plus opportunity to pursue legal permanent residency.

  • Opposes criminalization of undocumented presence, state/local immigration enforcement that undermines community trust in police, and high naturalization fees; supports English language learning, civics instruction, and fair due process protections.
