Resolved, That the Executive Council strongly urges:
the humane treatment of Haitians on American soil regardless of their current status under U.S. immigration law;
and that Haitians' rights to due process of law be protected at a level commensurate with that of all people in this country;
and that churches be allowed to sponsor Haitians while they await disposition of their pleas for asylum;
and that if and when any Haitians are returned to Haiti, the United States insist that they be protected from reprisal or punishment by Haitian authorities;
and that this resolution be conveyed by the Secretary of the Council to the President of the United States, the Vice President, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the Chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees.
