2018 MN Senate race: on Immigration

Steve Carlson: Defend our border; build the Wall

Amy Klobuchar: Path to citizenship for people who have been law abiding

"First of all," Klobuchar answered, "the family has asked that people not politicize this tragic death."

Klobuchar added the man charged with the student's death should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. She also said that she endorsed a path to earned citizenship for people who have been law abiding and that she supported more money for border security and employer checks of immigrant status.

Jim Newberger: We must build the wall; we must secure our border

The Republican candidate also brought up the recent killing of an Iowa college student and alluded to the immigration status of her alleged killer. "If we would have had comprehensive immigration reform where we knew who was coming across our border, would Mollie have been killed in Iowa?" Newberger asked.

Klobuchar answered, "the family has asked that people not politicize this tragic death."

Paula Overby: Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens

A: Support--We could certainly use a major reform of immigration policy. Illegal aliens who are generally poor tend to support America's strong demand for cheaper service level labor. Legal immigrants tend to arrive as refugees or visa programs. They tend toward an export of American technology and wealth.

Jim Newberger: Pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens is possible

A: Possible

Jim Newberger: Immigrants must accept American law
