2020 CO Senatorial race: on Immigration


Cory Gardner: Voted against protecting DREAMers from deportation

Q: Create path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented residents and "DACA" participants brought to the U.S. as children?

Corey Gardner: Mixed. Voted against protecting DREAMers from deportation. Later co-sponsored legislation for a 12-year pathway to citizenship combined with increased border wall funding.

John Hickenlooper: Yes. Wants to see "a permanent pathway to citizenship for our DREAMers." Calls expanded border wall "ineffective" and a waste of billions.

Q: Create path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented residents and "DACA" participants brought to the U.S. as children?

John Hickenlooper: Yes. Wants to see "a permanent pathway to citizenship for our DREAMers" while "ensuring border security and protecting American workers." Calls expanded border wall "ineffective" and a waste of billions.

Corey Gardner: Co-sponsored legislation for a 12-year pathway to citizenship combined with increased border wall funding.

Cory Gardner: Opposed 2013 bipartisan bill; later co-wrote DACA bill

Gardner was a member of the Republican House majority that in 2013 refused to consider a bipartisan Senate immigration bill that would have provided a path to citizenship for 11 million people in the country illegally, including those brought illegally as children who qualified for the Obama administration program known as DACA. Since Trump's election, though, Gardner has co-written a bill with Colorado's Democratic senator, Michael Bennet, to legalize DACA recipients.
