| Purpose | The Mission of the League of United Latin American Citizens is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, housing, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States. |
| Immigration position | LULAC calls upon Congress and the President to embrace and uphold America's tradition as a nation of immigrants and pass comprehensive immigration reform that allows hard working immigrants and their families to become permanent legal residents of the United States... Our nation urgently needs an effective and practical immigration system that will reflect the best of America's values. Please join President Rosales and our LULAC members across the country in holding in-district meetings with your elected representatives to urge their support of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform package that will: * Reduce the backlog of individuals seeking residency or citizenship and restructure the naturalization process in a manner that is streamlined, consistent, fair, and equitable for those seeking US Citizenship, * Include a family reunification component and a pathway to legalization for 11 million persons seeking documentation, * Ensure strong worker protections are in place before any "guest worker" type provisions are considered, * Address our enforcement needs in a manner that is just, and consistent with our existing due process and civil rights laws. |
