2022 CO Senate race: on Immigration


Eli Bremer: We must stop unbridled illegal border crossings

Immigration is important to our nation and can serve to strengthen our society. However, we have no coherent policy around immigration in America today. We must stop unbridled illegal border crossings and instead create a process that allows those who possess skills or abilities and a desire to be a productive part of the American dream to come legally. Notably, Eli has personally assisted with the immigration of individuals to the US and who are now working in support of our military.

Joe O`Dea: Close the border, let DACA recipients stay

O'Dea said the first priority would be "closing the border" that is "leaking like a sieve." "At the same time, we need some kind of process in place for (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients)," he said, "They should be allowed to stay here." O'Dea said others "need to get in line just like everybody else," though he also said "I don't see how you're going to get a bus that's big enough to ship them back."

Ron Hanks: Won't let nation fall into ruin, must re-secure our borders

Our Republic is under GRAVE threat. Our federal government is not responding to these threats. In some cases, it IS the threat. Today, I am fighting at the state level, as a state representative. Now, I am taking our fight to the US Senate, and I will give it everything I have. I simply will not watch this nation fall into ruin. We must re-secure our borders. We must restore our energy independence. We must restore our manufacturing capabilities within the United States.
