Regularising immigrants

September 12th, 2003 | by aobaoill |

As part of the push for immigrants to be allowed regularise their status and gain citizenship in the US, the Trade Union movement is organising the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride, which will culminate with a protest in Washington. Their goal is straightforward:

Immigrant workers, living and paying taxes in the United States, deserve the rights to legalize their status, to have a clear road to citizenship, to reunify their families, to have a voice on the job without regard to legal status, and to enjoy full protection of their civil rights and civil liberties… rights denied by their undocumented status and outdated laws. The road to citizenship needs a new map. The goal of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride is to help draw that map.
