Any comprehensive immigration reform legislation must include:
- a viable path to permanent residency for the undocumented population;
- a new worker program that includes appropriate worker protections, wage levels, and an opportunity to earn permanent residency;
- reductions in family reunification backlogs;
- the restoration of due process protections lost in the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA); and
- policies that address the root causes of migration, such as economic development in sending countries.
