Protection of our Immigrant Neighbors and the Rule of Law
Originally published May 14, 2025
The League of Women Voters advocates for immigration reform based on a study aimed at helping communities understand the implications of immigration at the local, state, and federal levels.
Immigration policies should promote the reunification of immediate families, meet economic, business, and employment needs, and be responsive to those facing political persecution or humanitarian crises. Everyone living in the United States has certain basic rights under the U.S. Constitution, including undocumented immigrants.
Why It Matters
All people should receive fair treatment under the law, and the US must encourage new citizens' participation in our democracy.

What We Advocate For
We support federal immigration laws that provide efficient, expeditious systems for immigrants to enter the United States. Congress must take immediate action to pass common-sense, fair immigration policies that end the crisis at our border, stop the separation of families, and provide a path to citizenship.
