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.
