Citizens and Immigrants: Unite Against Racism and the War System
Released 22 May 2006
By ICUJP
As members of the INTERFAITH COMMUNITIES UNITED FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE (ICUJP) we assert that our faith traditions have in common the injunctions to love our neighbors as ourselves and to aid the strangers in our midst. They do not tell us to aid strangers only if they have the proper papers, or to love our neighbors only if they will work for low wages in our factories, fields, and homes.

ICUJP affirms that a comprehensive immigration policy should include:
    1. A pathway to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants who live and work in the United States, including earned permanent residency

    2. Facilitation of family unification in a timely manner

    3. Protection of civil rights, human rights and civil liberties

    4. No criminalization of immigrants or their allies for human service and other activities that are not illegal in any other context.
