Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR)
New American Opportunity Campaign (NAOC)

There is a growing awareness that America's current immigration system is broken. The Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR) is a campaign for comprehensive immigration reform powered by strategic, coordinated activities by immigrant advocacy, grassroots, religious and labor organizations across the United States and on Capitol Hill.

CCIR organizes and mobilizes the voices and power of the pro-immigrant movement in support of national legislation that incorporates key principles (Español) for immigration reform.

NATIONAL NETWORK FOR IMMIGRANT & REFUGEE RIGHTS
The National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) is a national organization composed of local coalitions and immigrant, refugee, community, religious, civil rights and labor organizations and activists. It serves as a forum to share information and analysis, to educate communities and the general public, and to develop and coordinate plans of action on important immigrant and refugee issues.

LA RAZA ON IMMIGRATION
Questions and Answers about President Bush's Immigration Proposal. We fear that the President may want to implement something similar to the old bracero program. The bracero program was a guestworker program in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. Under this program, over four million Mexican workers came to the U.S. to work in agriculture and on the railroads. Unfortunately, the bracero program was also known for its exploitation and abuse of workers. Furthermore, the President announced he would like to offer financial incentives to guestworkers so that they return to their home countries. NCLR is deeply suspicious of any plans to offer financial incentives to immigrant workers to return home.
