The Fight for Citizenship

The United States has a rich immigrant history, but while the U.S. contends to be a nation of immigrants, our current immigration system has left many Latino families in crisis while making immigrant workers vulnerable to labor rights violations.

 LCLAA advocates for immigration reform that provides a pathway to citizenship for the over 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States so that all workers, regardless of their legal status, have access to labor protections, fair wages and safe working environments.

LCLAA also supports immigration, asylum, and naturalization policies that respect the migrant’s human rights. Unfair and inhumane practices like family separation and the use of Title 42 on the southern border violate the US commitment to human and civil rights. LCLAA will continue to call on Congress to provide a permanent legislative solution to this crisis while calling on the Biden Administration implement a more humane immigration policy that builds stronger communities.
