The Foundation has provided immense financial backing for what it calls a "well-coordinated, innovative, and fearless immigrant rights movement." 

They boast that "This movement has secured policies that limit local law enforcement collaboration with federal immigration authorities in more than 600 cities and counties." The FF partners with regional, state, and local advocacy groups to oppose "the use of criminal justice measures for immigration purposes."

The FF claims that it supports immigration because it "enriches and deepens America's democracy by making it more culturally, socially, and politically diverse," but it is apparent that the foundation hopes to politically mobilize immigrant populations. "We will support immigrant communities and their allies to influence government," the foundation's website reads.
