As an organization with a long and proud tradition of defending civil liberties for all, ADL has in recent years taken a lead role in exposing the virulent anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric that has risen to the surface as part of the national debate over immigration. ADL speaks out against discrimination and bigotry and advocates a meaningful and substantive policy that honors America’s promise as a nation of immigrants.
The League has:
- Shined light on the atmosphere of hate that has surrounded the debate among right-wing extremists and anti-immigration groups;
- Issued reports on the co-opting of the issue by extremists and hatemongers;
- Opposed policies that are discriminatory or encourage racial profiling;
- Encouraged relationships between the immigrant community and local law enforcement;
- Advocated for comprehensive immigration reform;
- Partnered with Hispanic and other immigrant groups at the local and national levels;
- Re-issued A Nation of Immigrants, John F. Kennedy’s classic essay celebrating the immigrant experience in America.
The following is a reference guide to ADL’s reports and online resources:
