Laws to oppress immigrants have been proposed by states, Congress, and numerous administrations.

Millions of immigrants and supporters of justice for immigrants have marched in the streets.

Politicians have constantly stirred up anti-immigrant sentiment among sections of the U.S. population.

U.S. imperialism; a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force, and colonialism; the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, economic exploitation, unfair trade policies, economic sanctions, unequal distribution of assets, increase in violence, and climate change have caused many of the world's citizens to migrate for better opportunities.

We must address all people's humanitarian needs as we chart a course toward a less cumbersome pathway to citizenship.
The Green Party stands firmly for social justice for all living in this country regardless of immigration status.

Above all, policy and law must be humane.

Anything less would be inconsistent with our Green Values, and with our nation's values.
The Green Party strives for a world in which persons can freely choose to live in and work in any country they desire.

We recognize that this would be impractical without reciprocity between nations.

We seek that reciprocity as a practical goal.
