Can Carly Fiorina Win Over Latino Voters? California Republican's Immigration Views Differ From Donald Trump.
As a U.S. Senate candidate in California in 2010, Carly Fiorina advocated legislation that would grant legal rights to undocumented immigrants. Now, as the former tech CEO climbs in the polls and takes on Republican front-runner Donald Trump, her moderate positions on immigration reform could become a weakness in a race that has seen many GOP voters demand more border security and a tough stance against illegal immigration.

Fiorina has "a strategy of being vague on some of the issues and potentially allowing herself for room to maneuver down the road," said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a political science professor at the University of California at Irvine. As she rises in the polls, "her positions will come under greater scrutiny, and she will be pushed to add more detail to her statement."
When asked for clarification of her immigration policies, the Fiorina campaign said that policy papers have not been released yet, but pointed to an "Ask Carly" section of her campaign website. Videos in that section showed Fiorina saying that the border needs to be secured immediately, that employer verification should be mandatory throughout the country and that those currently in the country illegally could potentially get a pathway to legal status.

Amnesty
Another Cheap Labor Express Republican.
Latinos didn’t vote for her when she ran against Democrat Boxer and lost.
Her amnesty pimp pandering turned off more people than the support she gained from the other side.
Which for Carly Fiorina, was a wash.
NO
No Republican can win over Latino voters. We don’t need them to win anyway. But trying to win them over is futile.
Maybe not, but if we can peel off some Hispanics and some blacks from the Dems that would certainly help.
If Fiorina is for amnesty, I’ll support Trump.
I don’t disagree.
Jimbo, you really don’t like Carly do you? LOL. Keep beating that drum, big daddy!
I like Carly. She’s a peach.
It shows by your posts.
The Dems should have such friends!!
We can stop right there.
The problem with many Latinos is they identify with their ethnicity first and their nation of origin last. Ask any of these pro-amnesty Latinos who were born here what their nationality is and they’ll answer they are Mexican or Salvadoran before they ever say their true nationality which of course is American.
She’s a John McCain Republican, which means she works for The Cheap Labor Express.
Same as Rubberio, Pataki, Kasich, NJFatBoy, Grahamnesty, Huckster, Paul and Carson.
We MUST elect a President who WILL enforce the laws and secure the border.
We will lose our country if we don’t.
How could I forgotten the chosen one of The Cheap Labor Express?
¡Yeb!
The Joyful Tortoise
First President of North Mexico
How can you have a President with a name like Carly?
How many Hispanics voted for Carly get in California. Close to nada.
She can win sharia Muslims and crazy self destructive lefties and righties who think a shariah believing POTUS is hunky dory.
No.
