Immigration

Arizona is a state with a large and diverse immigrant population that helps the state build thriving communities and strong local economies.

AZCenter rejects fear-based, zero-sum policies that seek to destabilize families and jeopardize economic prosperity for all Arizonans.  

AZCenter will work toward the following immigration funding goals:  

  • Oppose any bill that seeks to utilize state dollars to advance current federal mass deportation policies. 
  • Oppose any state law that curtails the ability of the state to properly administer its public safety, economic well-being efforts, or an individual’s right to due process in furtherance of immigration enforcement.
