Feb. 16, 2000 – AFL-CIO Labor Union Supports Amnesty for Immigrants in the United States Illegally

Posted on January 30, 2017 by ProCon.org

“Millions of hard-working people who make enormous contributions to
their communities and workplace are denied basic human rights because of
their undocumented status… The AFL-CIO supports a new amnesty program
that would allow these members of local communities to adjust their
status to permanent residents and become eligible for naturalization.”
