Issues: Immigration

Ensure immigrants' access to basic human rights: ensure equal access by immigrants (including the undocumented) to in-state tuition for higher education, healthcare, bilingual voter access, drivers' licenses and other forms of identification, professional licensing by the state, and other government services. About 1 in 10 Georgia residents is an immigrant, while 8% are native-born Americans with at least one immigrant parent -- and they are an integral part of our state.[6]

Oppose anti-immigrant measures: oppose measures such as required local law enforcement cooperation with ICE, as well as mandatory verification of immigration status by police and prosecutors.
