[1] Dabford-Richards was a major piece of legislation which changed labor laws in the United States in 2013; it was signed as an agreement and consensus between President Patrick and then-Senate Majority Leader Alexander Pasha, who was then forced out of office by the Senate Eagles after the legislation was passed. The Eagle Party has since taken a strong stance in favor of repealing Dabford-Richards.

[2] President Patrick's 2013 immigration reform bill lowered green card requirements and aimed to raise the number of legal immigrants from Latin America; the Eagle Party in general is opposed to this bill.
