ResolutionRegardingImmigrationReformandWorkersRights

WHEREAS, we remain committed to comprehensive immigration reform that is

comprised of many things including enhanced worker protections and a broad and
inclusive pathway to citizenship; and
WHEREAS, we continue to support the Presidents Executive Actions on Immigration
which would bring millions of people from the underground economy more fully into the
fabric of our country; and
WHEREAS, we believe that a rights-driven approach to immigration reform one that
respects the hardships and contributions of those living here as well as those moving here
and prevents our immigration system from being used to lower wages for all working
people is needed; and
WHEREAS, a core principle of this rights-driven approach is the right of workers to
organize; And
WHEREAS, too often, immigration enforcement occurs in the midst of an organizing
drive, bargaining campaign, or other concerted job action;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Democratic Party will work to ensure that
immigrant workers who assert their rights on the job through organizing and other
concerted actions will be protected and that we reject the use of immigration enforcement
actions as a tool to deny workers their collective rights.
