AFL-CIO Statement On Reform of Immigration Law!

"We are not a nation of "guests", who, by definition, have only short-term and short-lived interests, but a nation of people who believe in investing in our communities, in our future, in the future of our children, and our democracy. It defies everything that our nation stands for to legitimize a system that forces our communities to simply be "hosts" for "guests" who are only here to lend their labor, and have no reason to become invested in that community, and who will never have a voice in their future within that community. We are not a nation of guests; we are a nation of citizens." Download entire AFL-CIO Executive Council Statement on Responsible Reform of Immigration Laws, issued on February 29, 2006, in San Diego, Ca. in PDF format.
