2018 AZ Governor's race: on Immigration


David Garcia: In-state tuition and driver's licenses for DREAMers

Q: Support legal status for "DACA" recipients or "Dreamers," who grew up in the US after being brought here illegally as children?

Doug Ducey (R): No. His administration refused to grant drivers licenses to DACA recipients, but later was overruled by a federal judge.

David Garcia (D): Yes. Treat "like any other young Arizonans." Ensure "basic supports like in-state tuition or a driver's license are not obstacles to becoming the future business & civic leaders."

Deedra Abboud: Banning refugees morally unacceptable

[Asked about Syrian refugees and Russia's involvement in the Syrian war, Abboud said,] "We have a president who wants to ban refugees," Abboud said. "Ban refugees who are experiencing atrocities that, thank God, America has really never experienced. And we never want to experience those. But at the same time, we have a president that is singularly partnershiping with Russia to bomb the very people who are already dying on the ground and we are denying refuge to."
