ROMANOFF

No recent, direct statement from Andrew Romanoff on Immigration is available.




NORTON

We must:

--secure our borders

--end illegal immigration 

--rely on the rule of law

“I steadfastly oppose amnesty for those illegal immigrants already in our country. 

“The true measure of any plan, though, is sensibility and workability. 

“I support the expansion of the E-Verify system to insure that American jobs are filled by Americans and temporary workers who are legally present.”

We also need:

--an expanded and effective temporary worker program to insure that critical Colorado industries have the personnel they need in order to thrive. 

“If we as a nation are firm in our hiring practices and resolute in our opposition to amnesty, the allure of illegal immigration will dissipate.”




BENNET

We must:

--increase the numbers of border patrol agents
 
--investigate more technologically advanced surveillance equipment that will increase our ability to stop illegal immigration at the border

--target businesses that abuse the current system via fines and civil penalties

--improve our worker visa program by making it easier for farmers and other employers to get workers through the program

--extend the annual cap on worker visas and exempt workers who have used the program during the last three years

--establish a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants that requires them to go to the back of the line for citizenship, obtain a criminal background check, learn English, and pay all back taxes and fines

--provide undocumented students who have demonstrated high achievement and graduated from high school the ability to attend college or serve in the military with the opportunity to legalize their immigration status
