Issue Position: Immigration

Issue Position

Immigration makes our country stronger, and Oregon should be a welcoming place to all immigrants, including asylum seekers and refugees. Furthermore, I oppose the demonization of undocumented immigrants. Immigration and Customs is not the purview of local law enforcement, who often need to work with undocumented residents to be more effective in solving crimes. I also support the DMV in issuing a drivers license without asking about immigration status. The purpose of a drivers license is to make driving safer, not to enforce immigration law; to conflate those two purposes does nothing to increase safety, and often has the opposite effect.
