Lets stop makingmigration a crime

David BaconWe need animmigration policy based on human, civil and labor rights, which looks at thereasons why people come to the U.S., and how we can end the criminalization oftheir status and work.  While proposals from Congress and theadministration have started the debate over the need for change in ourimmigration policy, they are not only too limited and ignore the global natureof migration, but they will actually make the problem of criminalization muchworse.  We need a better alternative.
