2017-18 Special Election for U.S. Senate in Minnesota: on Immigration


Karin Housley: Supports path to legal status for DREAMers

Housley is a legislator married to current NHL head coach and worked in TV, radio and real estate. She was elected to the state Senate in 2012. I decided to put this post up to give you access to one of her first interviews. She broke with Trump on a couple of things--she is an enthusiast for net neutrality, she's for a path to legal status for the "dreamers";ÿ she made a strong pitch gay rights, without specifics.

Karin Housley: Backs pathway to citizenship for DREAMers

Housley said she is sympathetic with the "Dreamers"--those stuck in the immigration debate over allowing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought over by their parents as children. "I don't think it's right to tell them go back to their country because this is the only country they have ever known," Housley said. "We really need to make sure there is a path for them to remain here. I'm really hoping that will be settled by March."
