Republican Whittney Williams, a President Trump supporter who used to live in the U.S. illegally, on Monday announced that she would be launching a campaign to challenge Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens (D) for the 11th District seat Stevens flipped blue during the 2018 midterms.
Williams, 37, said in an announcement video that she was brought to the United States at the age of 10 from Taiwan “without knowing a word of English.”
“My family overstayed their visas and, as a result, I spent the next 16 years living in the shadows as an illegal immigrant,” Williams said.
Williams, the director of diversity for Michigan’s 11th Congressional District Republican Committee, married her husband and gained citizenship in 2013, her campaign said in a statement to news site Mlive.com.

Actually an ex-Dreamer who is now a US citizen.
NOT GUILTY!
“NOT GUILTY!”
…and that doesn’t hurt.
I’d vote for her if I knew her position on the 2nd amendment.
Her campaign website lists “Pro Second Amendment”
What is her stance on amnesty for illegal aliens?
We don’t need any more amnesty supporters in the GOP.
And the border wall and birthright citizenship and abortion and many other policies.
Need more details on that tbh.
Bill Clinton said he believed in the 2A. Lawyer talk for “I believe in the National Guard”.
Is she pro-amnesty in any way?
I don’t know, that would be important to know.
We already have too many pro-amnesty GOP.
That’s a good question, especially given her background. According to this article, she is anti-open borders and pro-wall.

there is antidote and antivenom

Send her back to Make Taiwan Great Again.
Send her back to Make Taiwan Great Again.
Go back to DU troll
She was brought here as a child, she had no choice in being illegal, she married an American citizen here and followed the law and became a citizen
SHE DID THE RIGHT THING
If she can do it, so can other “dreamers”
They can marry Americans or they can sign up and serve in the military as well.
These are two ways an illegal can become a citizen
They don’t need “amnesty”
“Go back to DU troll”
Because I don’t like rewarding any invaders?
Dreamers don’t belong here.
They shouldn’t have any path to citizenship but going home and applying for legal immigration.
Illegal aliens are barred from enlisting.
Well, that should be fixed
Because one way to gain US Citizen ship is to enlist
