Every person in the United States has the fundamental human right to safety and security, family unity, freedom from racial or religious discrimination, freedom from arbitrary arrest and inhumane conditions of detention, and to due process of law.

These human rights are guaranteed to every person in our country. They protect us all, regardless of our immigration status, when or how we entered the United States, our ethnic and cultural background, and whether or not we speak English. The very fact that our laws apply to and protect every person - not just some - reflects America's highest ideals and values.

We urge every lawmaker to fulfill America's commitment to ensuring the human rights of every person within our borders by enacting fair, just, and humane immigration laws. We urge you to reject laws which undermine our commitment to the human rights of any person in our country.
