Immigration

  • Abandon plans for any barrier or fence between Mexico and the U.S.
  • Appropriate adequate funding and manpower to conduct a thorough investigation into the murders of hundreds of immigrant women crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S. It is a national disgrace and atrocity that these murders remain unsolved and that women continue to be murdered.
  • Create a path to citizenship for immigrants now in the U.S. illegally.
  • Deny citizenship to, or deport, male immigrants convicted of rape, sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence, pimping or procuring, or sex trafficking.
  • Outlaw the mail order bride trade and forbid the practice of U.S. citizens purchasing mail order brides from foreign countries.
  • Allow foreign partners of gay and lesbian Americans legal immigrant status, just as foreign spouses are allowed to immigrate.
  • Grant asylum and a path to citizenship to battered women, abused children, and trafficked persons seeking to enter the U.S. Deny entry and citizenship to their abusers, pimps, traffickers.
  • Immediately end the practice of immigration raids.
