Immigration

At a time when immigrants of all backgrounds are under duress, New York state must continue to fight for our neighbors and families. Asian-Americans have the highest rates of deportations in New York City. We must increase the number of legal resources for immigrants, as well as foster ties to communities to ensure that everyone is aware of both their rights and the resources at their disposal. 

Language services are critical for immigrant communities to access city and state resources. We must guarantee culturally-competent services for all New Yorkers.

New York City is the most multicultural community in the world. Our diversity makes us stronger, and we must do everything in our power to welcome new Americans by continuing to engage these communities. New York State leads the way by being one of the only sanctuary states in the country, and we must fulfill our obligation to future generations of Americans.
