Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Latino-owned businesses are the backbone of our economy. We create jobs, pay taxes, and invest in our communities. What we want is an opportunity for the long-term, hardworking immigrant workers who have spent years contributing to the strength and growth of our economy, particularly here in Arizona, where industries like agriculture, construction, and hospitality rely heavily on immigrant labor. The recent workplace raids and mass deportations are deeply concerning because they destabilize the very individuals who keep this country running—workers, business owners, and entrepreneurs who are looking for leadership that prioritizes America’s economic prosperity. We support a secure border and the removal of individuals who pose legitimate threats to our safety. However, current enforcement policies are also targeting workers who have made long-term contributions to this country. Our border is secure and unauthorized entries are down; now it’s time to focus on securing our industries and ensuring the stability of the workforce that drives Arizona’s and America’s economy forward.
