MARIETTA, Georgia Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff vowed amnesty for all illegal aliens “who otherwise follow the law,” if he is elected, in response to a question about immigration during a campaign event Wednesday.
A self-described Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient from Mexico, who was part of a small crowd gathered in front of Super Mercado La Villa for a “Latinx Meet & Greet” event Wednesday morning, asked Ossoff what he thought about immigration law for Latinos.
Ossoff said, “I will stand with you and all Dreamers, all DACA recipients, because Dreamers are every bit as American as any of us, and I’ll have your back in the U.S. Senate.”
MARIETTA â In the frantic final days before the Jan. 5 runoff election, Jon Ossoff rallied voters in front of Super Mercado La Villa on Roswell Street, where over a hundred supporters gathered at a âLatinx Meet & Greetâ event.
It was a chilly Wednesday morning for a political rally, but ahead of Ossoffâs speech, Mateo Villalobos could feel the energy in the air.
âItâs pretty exciting,â said Villalobos, who lives in Marietta, and cast his ballot on the first day of early voting. âThereâs a lot of political signs for Ossoff in my neighborhood. Thereâs definitely a lot more energy surrounding this election.â
