Welcome to the website of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. We are a group of African Americans and black immigrants who are working towards uniting communities for just and fair immigration reform in the United States.
BAJI members are united on four principles:
•All people, regardless of immigration status, country of origin, race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation or HIV status deserve human rights as well as social and economic justice.
•Historically and currently, U.S. immigration policy has been infused with racism, enforcing unequal and punitive standards for immigrants of color.
•Immigration to the United States is driven by an unjust international economic order that deprives people of the ability to earn a living and raise their families in their home countries. Through international trade, lending, aid and investment policies, the United States government and corporations are the main promoters and beneficiaries of this unjust economic order.
•African Americans, with our history of being economically exploited, marginalized and discriminated against, have much in common with people of color who migrate to the United States, documented and undocumented.
