ALAS Opposes Census Citizenship Question

Washington, DC. – June 19, 2018 – Recent actions by the administration regarding the forced separation of minor children from their parents arriving at our nation’s southern borders is an affront to our national values, accepted norms of fair treatment, and collective conscience as a society.

While we believe in the rule of law and protecting the homeland, it is imperative that policies towards immigrants entering the country without proper documentation are structured and
