The upcoming New York City mayoral primary includes Democratic candidates with strong immigrant ties: three are children of immigrants, and one is an immigrant. Immigrants make up nearly 40% of the city’s population, according to the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs. Amidst promises of mass deportations from the Trump administration, candidates are under pressure to clarify their positions on immigration. Many have been questioned about their strategies for supporting immigrant New Yorkers, but detailed plans are notably absent from their campaign materials, raising concerns among the electorate.
As we approach the mayoral primary, it's critical that candidates articulate clear strategies for immigrant support, especially in light of heightened deportation threats.
New York's immigrant population is pivotal, comprising nearly 40% of the city's residents, and candidates' responses to immigration issues are paramount for voters.
