NETWORK strongly support comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship. NETWORK strongly supports the Obama Administration's Executive order on expanding DACA and DAPA. NETWORK strongly opposes H. Res 639, a bill sponsored by Speaker Paul Ryan to file an Amicus brief in the Texas v. U.S. case opposing executive action to expand DACA and DAPA. NETWORK opposes the use of family detention centers for immigrant children and families and believes there are more humane and cost effective means of enforcing U.S. immigration laws. NETWORK strongly believes that the Obama Administration should end the practice of family detention for refugees and immigrants. NETWORK strongly opposes the arrest and deportation of immigrants who could benefit from the recent Presidents Executive Order on immigration. NETWORK believes that Operation Streamline should be modified to ensure immigrants receive due process in proceedings. NETWORK opposes S.2146, the Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act, because it limits the ability of local law enforcement to protect communities and criminalizes immigrants. Network strongly supports expanding protections for refugees and asylum seekers, including providing legal counsel for vulnerable refugees. NETWORK opposes any effort to deny vetted refugees from Syria entrance into the United States or to discriminate against Syrian refugees on the basis of religion.
