Issue Position: Protecting Immigrant Communities

Issue Position

Jamie knows that embracing our diversity makes the fabric of our society stronger, our economy more innovative, and our community more inclusive. She'll work on behalf of all 8,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients who know no other home than America, and she compassionately and responsibly welcomes those fleeing violence. Jamie will work with community activists and other local leaders to ensure local protections for immigrant communities such as providing in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, which increases their accessibility to higher education and providing a larger skilled workforce for Arkansas' economy. Jamie will also advocate that our federal delegation work towards comprehensive immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients and undocumented immigrants.
