The Immigration System Blocks Human Potential

The everyday work of Oregon's Community-Based Organizations is already complicated and hard. Supporting clients who are battling the Immigration System makes it even harder. The Immigration System can be complex and dangerous.

Our community is scared of being deported. Our community is separated from their families. Simple things are harder because immigration rules keep people down.
