Six announced candidates for mayor of Boston mainly found accord as they discussed a range of immigration issues during a virtual forum hosted by the Brazilian Workers Center and SEIU Local 32BJ last Thursday.
This was the second of six forums planned by a coalition of progressive, non-profit groups that included participation from Mayor Kim Janey, City Councillors Michelle Wu, Annissa Essaibi George and Andrea Campbell, state Rep. Jon Santiago, and John Barros, former chief of economic development for the city of Boston.
The candidates offered nearly identical stances on many issues, including the question of issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants, which elicited a chorus of yeses. During a rapid-fire section of the discussion – in which candidates were asked to respond with only a yes or no –  there was solidarity in support of immigrant rights.
