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.
