Immigration Reform

The Arizona Interfaith Network (AIN) has a long standing commitment to immigration reform. Concerns about immigration policies and their effect on families and the work place have been heard repeatedly in individual meetings and house meetings with leaders from our member congregations.

On April 2, 2004, AIN brought these concerns to the public at a Press Conference on the lawn of the State Senate.

Judicatory heads publicly endorsed a Statement on Immigration.

Since May 2004, AIN has represented Arizona on the Field Table of the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR), a broad national group of organizations committed to immigration reform. AIN supports the six basic elements of comprehensive immigration reform:

Reform Must Be Comprehensive
Provide a Path to Citizenship
Protect Workers
Reunite Families
Restore the Rule of Law and Enhance Security
Promote Citizenship and Civic Participation and Help Local Communities

Additional information is available at the CCIR web site www.cirnow.org

Since the failure of the United States Senate to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill, AIN has joined efforts to support passage of the Dream Act and AgJobs, two sections of the comprehensive bill that are needed in Arizona by college students and farm workers
