Welcome to the National Immigration Reform resource site
This page is a portal for access to a wide range of information including news, studies, reports, policies, laws, pending legislation, and litigation regarding amnesty and legalization programs for undocumented immigrants.
This site was established by the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, CA, that focuses on the human rights and domestic civil rights of insular minorities including immigrants, refugees, children, and indigenous peoples.
This site is also intended to serve as a tool for networking among immigration scholars, community based immigration advocates, and immigrants themselves. Institutions, advocates, and individuals involved in issues relating to amnesty and legalization for undocumented immigrants, whether in the private, non-profit, or government sectors, are invited to post materials on this site. To do so, please e-mail the project.

The Unity Blueprint for Immigration Reform provides specific legislative proposals for rational and humane transformation of the current immigration policy disaster in the United States. While we encourage the efforts of all organizations to achieve broad immigration reform, these proposals reflect the aspirations of a wide range of civic and labor organizations participating in discussions aimed at achieving a workable, just, and fair immigration system that addresses the interests of the nation and the millions of immigrants who give their labor, talents, and investments to it without the benefit of protections and rights extended to its citizenry. |
