As an immigrant herself, Zerqa understands the struggle of those who wait for years to reunite with their families legally. She is also aware of the challenges faced by undocumented immigrants within our communities and the plight of those at our borders fleeing from oppression and violence.
As a Congresswoman, Zerqa will work across the aisle to support policies that:
- Advocate to implement strategic and comprehensive reforms that will expedite the process of legal immigration
- Pave a clear roadmap to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and DREAMers
- Enhance the efficiency of our asylum system, and address other critical aspects of immigration
- Ensure a balanced approach that safeguards both our national security and the values upon which this nation was founded. These policies will also bolster the U.S. economy.
- Support immigrants and recognize their significant contributions to Ohio’s economy
- Seek to continue accepting asylum seekers, extend a path to citizenship for DACA recipients, and reform our legal immigration system
- Treat all people who come to the United States with dignity and respect, embracing immigrants rather than attacking them
