LOS ANGELES, CA –The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund issued the following statement regarding the announcement by U.S. Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) of his core principles for comprehensive immigration reform legislation:

“We praise Representative Gutierrez for continuing to provide critical leadership that is sustaining the momentum in our nation’s dialogue about comprehensive immigration reform. Many of the core principles he outlined resonate with those articulated by our Board as the framework for achieving fair and humane policies to fix our broken immigration system. We strongly support comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to U.S. citizenship for those immigrants who have played by the rules and are contributing to our society. We also envision a system which promotes family reunification and reduces immigration backlogs; provides a meaningful opportunity for immigrant students to pursue a college education; protects our national security with effective and fair enforcement measures; and promotes the civic integration of newcomers.
