Issue Position: Immigrant Rights

Issue Position

The daughter of formerly undocumented Colombian immigrants, Jessica knows New York City is strong because of our immigrant communities. From her first job at an immigrant rights law firm to her most recent role as New York City's chief Latina spokesperson, Jessica has always used her voice to empower immigrants and protect their rights. With a bigot in the White House, only a strong state government can protect our immigrant communities against attacks. Jessica will fight to pass the State Dream Act and the Liberty Act--and she will stand up for DACA recipients. Jessica supports drivers licenses for undocumented New Yorkers, and she believes we must keep New York City a sanctuary city to protect undocumented immigrants from aggressive persecution.

"Immigrants help make New York City the best city in the world--and as the daughter of Colombian immigrants, I will stand up for our immigrant communities every single day."
