Democratic Socialists of America Proposal for 2023 Convention: Resolution On the Defense of Immigrants and Refugees.

Authors: Karen Ashikeh (Portland), Duane Campbell (Sacramento), Xiomara Corpeno (Los Angeles), Janet Hurtado (Los Angeles), Alexander Hernandez (Pasco-Hernando), Jeremy Rich (NE Pennsylvania).

Whereas, The defense of immigrants and refugees has been a priority as mandated by delegates to the 2017 (r#41), 2019 (r#5), and 2021 (r#1) DSA national conventions.

Whereas, The migrant working class constitutes at least 20 % of the working class. More than 1 in 4 (26 percent), or approximately 18 million, U.S. children live with at least one immigrant parent. This working class population – residents of the U.S., must not be ignored. Political projects that do not include a substantive and realistic analysis of the migrant working class fail to understand both race and class in the U.S. and thus fail to address our fundamental political tasks.

IRWG will coordinate with local and state campaigns led by and for immigrant leaders (who are not necessarily DSA affiliated) in order to bolster and help win real policies that advance the demands of immigrant leaders.
