Jenny Wilson on Immigration

 

 


It's not chain migration; it's family-based immigration

Jenny Wilson is throwing down the gauntlet to Mitt Romney on immigration. Wilson said in a news conference Romney is "out of touch" with Utah voters on the issue. She says Romney's policies are harsh, including ending so-called chain migration, a term critics use to describe family-based immigration. He's also supported a border wall backed by President Donald Trump.

Wilson says the one-time presidential candidate should "come out of hiding" and accept her invitation to debate on the issue.

Against tearing up families

On immigration, she said it should not involve policies that "tear up families." Wilson said she does not support the idea of local law enforcement agencies enforcing federal immigration laws. She said she supports a path to citizenship for productive people who are in the U.S. illegally or who were brought to the country at a young age.

Opposes more border security, according to CC survey.

Wilson opposes the CC survey question on border security

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Increase Border Security Including Additional Infrastructures ' Christian Coalition's self-description: "Christian Voter Guide is a clearing-house for traditional, pro-family voter guides. We do not create voter guides, nor do we interview or endorse candidates."
