Comprehensive Immigration Reform

The U.S. immigration system is in need of fundamental reform. The current immigration laws are out of tune with our country’s economy, and millions of close family members remain in visa backlogs for years, waiting to be reunited with their families. NCLR is working toward comprehensive immigration reform that includes: 1) a path to citizenship for the current undocumented population; 2) the creation of new legal channels for future immigrant workers; 3) a reduction of family immigration backlogs; and 4) the protection of civil rights and civil liberties.
