Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R., Utah) said Wednesday that he not only supports a wall on the U. S.-Mexico border, but also strengthening the E-Verify system to penalize employers who hire illegal immigrants.
Responding to outgoing Sen. Bob Corker’s (R., Tenn.) charge that the government shutdown is a “made-up fight” ginned up by President Donald Trump, Romney said the shutdown is regrettable but a border wall is necessary. Romney said that his stance on strengthening border security has been consistent, adding that companies should be prevented from hiring illegal immigrants.
“I think the president is very sincere when he says he wants to secure the border, and how you get there is a real question. It’s going to have to be worked out on a bipartisan basis,” Romney said on CNN.
