Co-chair of the Northern California Coalition for Immigrant Rights
Position:
Pro amnesty
to the question "What are the solutions to illegal immigration in America?"
Reasoning:
"We need
to create a human community in this country in which people do not
have to live in fear, and are not subject to discrimination.
What undermines the integrity of our country's immigration
laws is their use to keep millions of people in a state of
vulnerability and illegality. [...] Our laws
should start with the intention of protecting the human rights of
migrants... We need a new amnesty to guarantee basic human and labor rights to the people who live in this country, both now and in the future."
