Dallas County welcomes, supports, and values immigrant, refugee, and marginalized communities as integral members of our community. As one of the most diverse and fastest growing counties in the United States, immigrants and refugees are, and will continue to be, a vital part of the civic, economic, and social life of Dallas County. Dallas County will stand with organizations and groups that provide aide and services to immigrants and refugees.
