LGBT, HIV/AIDS Groups: Immigration Ruling A Reminder Of Need For Comprehensive Reform | Today’s 5-3 Supreme Court ruling, invalidating three of the four main sections of an unconstitutional Arizona immigration law, represented a partial victory for the LGBT and HIV/AIDS advocacy community. But more than 30 advocacy groups — including the Center for American Progress Action Fund — issued a statement today noting that LGBT people and those with HIV/AIDS are often especially vulnerable to discrimination in the current broken immigration system. “We need comprehensive immigration reform that is fair to everyone, and is inclusive of LGBT immigrants and their families. We will work with our allies in the immigrant rights community to make this reform a reality, and call on Congress to move swiftly to correct the flaws riddling the present immigration system and provide a path to legalization for the nation’s undocumented immigrants,” the groups said in the statement.
