Access Resources
Immigrant Oregonians are critical to our state’s success and shared prosperity.
Oregon is home to more than 400,000 immigrants and their families. Our state is enriched by the diversity of experiences, cultures, and traditions that all of us, including immigrants, bring to our communities.
Oregonians have fought for generations to create a welcoming state for immigrants and refugees. Oregon has one of America’s oldest Sanctuary State Laws, which protects Oregonians from racial profiling. We must protect and defend this critical law for everyone who calls Oregon home.
