HIAS: Keep immigration policies humanitarian
The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society wants the Senate to include provisions in border protection policies that are “consistent with American humanitarian policies and effective against illegal migration.”

In a release issued Monday, when the Senate’s Judiciary Committee resumed its consideration of proposed changes, HIAS said the legislation should provide an opportunity for hard-working immigrants already in the United States to come out of hiding and “regularize their status” if they can satisfy reasonable criteria.

The group also called for programs to make citizenship more available and to encourage the integration of newcomers into Americans society.
