LWVUS Immigration Study

The League of Women Voters recently completed a two-year Immigration Study aimed at helping communities understand the implications of immigration at the local, state, and federal level. As part of this project, League members and leaders explored the underlying values and principles regarding immigration, reasons for immigration, current federal immigration policy, and the impact of immigration in American society. 

Please continue to visit this page and utilize the resources provided to gain a better understanding of the complex immigration issue as it relates to your community.

LWVUS Position on Immigration - Apr 01, 2008
The League of Women Voters believes that immigration policies should promote reunification of immediate families; meet the economic, business and employment needs of the United States; and be responsive to those facing political persecution or humanitarian crises. Provision should also be made for qualified persons to enter the U.S. on student visas. All persons should receive fair treatment under the law.
