2020 NE Senatorial race: on Immigration


Chris Janicek: Endorsed by Latinx group, opposes collaboration with ICE

The League of United Latin American Citizens Council 35005 of Nebraska and President Elsa Ramon Aranda announce their endorsement of Janicek. "Chris understands the Latino voter and the issues the community faces everyday."

Janicek echoed Aranda's sentiments stating, "We are both particularly concerned about 287(g) where collaborations between local jurisdictions and U.S. Immigration-Customs Enforcement allow racial profiling and civil rights violations."

Chris Janicek: We need immigrants to work and contribute to our economy

Our Immigration system needs to be reformed immediately. We are spending hundreds of millions to detain and separate families at our borders. Our country needs immigrants to work and contribute to our economy and tax base. This must be done legally, humanely and efficiently. Those that break and violate our laws will be deported.

Chris Janicek: Current immigration system broken & violates human rights

Our immigration system is broken and in violation of human rights and current immigration law. Immigrants crossing the border through legal points of entry seeking asylum should be documented and within 48 hours have a legal decision on residency. It is costing the U.S. taxpayer hundreds of millions and destroying families and lives through separation and detaining. Our country needs this workforce and input into our economy. Those that break and violate the law should be deported.
