NIJC's Principles and Priorities for Reforming the U.S. Immigration System

The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) is committed to working with Congress to build an immigration system that accomplishes three core goals: 1) Creates an roadmap toward citizenship for all aspiring Americans living in

the United States without papers; 2) Establishes a humane, flexible, and efficient visa program that is inclusive, responds to the future needs of our country, and respects family unity (including binational LGBT couples); and 3) Reforms the current immigration system to alleviate its unduly harsh consequences and procedures. NIJC has outlined five guiding principles as well as some specific, high-impact policy changes. Read more about NIJC's principles and priorities for immigration reform
