The Constitution, under the 5th and 14th Amendments, guarantees due process rights to all people in the U.S. — citizens and immigrants alike. That means immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, must be treated fairly under the law.
The H.E.A.L. Act supports:
A clear path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living and working in our communities.
Safe, humane treatment, no internment camps or unsafe holding facilities.
Deportation through due process for violent offenders, after serving their sentences in the U.S.
Immigration boosts GDP and wages overall, immigrants add hundreds of billions to the U.S. economy yearly (American Immigration Council).
Fair recognition of contributions: immigrants pay billions in taxes (sales, property, income) but often cannot access the benefits they pay into, like Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, or Federal Welfare Programs.
Communities with immigrants often see lower crime rates than communities without them, despite political rhetoric.
Diversity as strength: immigration fuels innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.
Immigrants make America stronger, and they deserve fairness, dignity, and a real chance to become citizens.
