What Women Need from a Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill

Please click here to read the Network's statement.

The National Network urges Congress to respond to the growing immigrants’ rights movement in cities and towns, large and small, across the country. As Leslye Orloff, Director of Legal Momentum’s Immigrant Women Program, said, “Immigrant women and children and the rest of the country want comprehensive immigration reform that honors our country’s tradition as a nation of immigrants and as a protector of victims of violence or persecution.”
