 Tell
the Story of America!
Redressing discrimination and treating all people equally are
principles that are at the heart of the civil rights movement.
These principles apply today as we debate ongoing efforts to
reform our broken immigration system. For too long, our
immigration laws have created a two-tiered society and
perpetuated racial and ethnic discrimination.
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR) and the
Leadership on Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund (LCCREF)
recognize that there are many different situations and stories
that have brought people of all backgrounds to the United
States. As this nation struggles with rewriting immigration
policy, we at LCCR and LCCREF believe that it is crucial to
recognize the diversity of the immigrant experience and to craft
an immigration policy that addresses the needs of immigrants,
refugees, and asylum seekers from all countries of origin.
