Snyder encourages support for immigrants, pledges investment in early education | Crain's Detroit Business
In his fourth State of the State address Thursday night, Gov. Rick Snyder pledged to make Michigan more welcome to immigrants, provide some tax relief for workers and continue to invest in early childhood education.
Snyder announced he will create the Michigan Office for New Americans through an executive order that is part of his strategy to attract well-educated immigrants to Michigan to help create jobs.
“We need to encourage immigration in our state,” Snyder said. “We need to focus on legal immigration and make sure people know Michigan is the most welcoming place.”
The office, he said, will be a coordinating resource and encourage entrepreneurship among foreign students studying in Michigan universities and food workers in the agricultural sector.
Brad Williams, vice president of government relations for the Detroit Regional Chamber, said he appreciated the governor’s comments on immigration.
“If you want to look at repopulating Detroit… immigrants always play a vital role,” Williams said. “We look forward to a day when we can welcome immigrants with open arms in the city and make Detroit the most immigrant friendly city in the country."
