Binghamton Rolls Out Welcome Mat for Immigrants
Binghamton is a welcoming city for immigrants.
City Council has unanimously passed the welcoming city resolution after weeks of debate on the wording and necessity of the resolution.
The move does not designate Binghamton as a so-called “Sanctuary City.”
The resolution does call for city support of immigration services, including programs directed by the American Civic Association.
