John Kasich on Immigration
From Breitbart:
"We
have to finish the wall ... We have to make sure ... we're going to make sure
we can control it ... For the 11 and a half million who are here, if they have
not violated the law since they've been here I'd give them a path to
legalization." — Live 5 News
From Breitbart:
Illegal
immigrants are “a critical part of our society” and should be provided a route
to amnesty, Republican presidential candidate John Kasich tells a coalition of
Hispanic company executives.
“For
those that are here that have been law abiding, God bless them,” he told the
business group, which is a major
advocate for expanded immigration.
“Then
I think the [illegals] should have a path to legalization… I think that can
pass,” Kasich said, using one of the euphemisms for granting legal residency to
illegal immigrants.
The
Ohio governor also claimed the illegal immigrants are skilled. The illegals
“are a critical part of our society from doctors to engineers to lawyers– well,
I don’t know if we need more of them [lawyers]– but we’ve got a lot of
teachers, whatever,” he said.
Kasich
also told the group that one of his top priorities is “expand[ing] the guest
workers.”
