Joe Neguse in CBS "Face the Nation" interviews during 2018

On Energy & Oil: Comprehensive solution for planetary crisis, climate change

JOE NEGUSE (D-CO-2): I think we're a big tent party.

Q: But he's a more progressive voice within it.

NEGUSE: Of course. And there are also many other voices. I am a progressive Democrat and believe that we should be bold in pushing for some really comprehensive solutions around some of the pressing public policy challenges that we face: climate change and the planetary crisis being the best example perhaps. But we are a big tent party. We are inclusive. We are diverse. I think that's a good thing. So I appreciate his voice just as I do the voice of many, many other leaders in the party who are all stepping up to the plate at a really critical time for our democracy.

On Immigration: Using troops to secure southern border is the wrong approach

REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT DAN CRENSHAW (R-TX-2): There are thousands of thousands of people coming up to the border in a caravan. If it's between letting people across and not letting people cross, we have to secure our border.

Q: He's comfortable using U.S. troops in that way. Are you?

REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT JOE NEGUSE (D-CO-2): No, I think it's the wrong approach. The other option is to follow existing law and let folks go through the asylum process and [attempt to] claim asylum. I say this as the son of refugees. I think immigrants to this country have so much to give and it's important we get this right.

Q: Would you vote for any kind of immigration reform that includes funding for a border wall?

NEGUSE: No, I don't support a wall.
