[The 215th General Assembly (2003) approved actions to:]

1.   Declare [its] opposition to "Operation Gatekeeper" and other border strategies, which have resulted in an increase in militarization, violations of human rights, deaths from dehydration and exposure, and racial profiling of Hispanic peoples in the borderlands.

2.   Request the Stated Clerk to communicate with the president of the United States, the Attorney General, and the appropriate members of Congress. The communication should include the historic social witness policy of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Mexican migration, the immorality of the mounting death toll of migrants, and the urgency of a new border policy that will document the migration of workers at the border.

3.   Request the Disaster Assistance Program of the Worldwide Ministries Division to be in relationship with congregations, presbyteries, and synods in the borderlands to determine appropriate ministries and assistance for migrants in life-threatening situations.

4.   Request that presbyteries and synods in the borderlands consult on the migrant crisis and initiate or support ministries that are meeting the spiritual and physical needs of migrants in crisis.

5.   Request the Stated Clerk to communicate with the president of the United States, the attorney general, and the appropriate members of Congress to find a way to issue temporary worker documentation.
