Erik Fleming on Immigration

Democratic Senate Challenger

Allow immigrant kids educational opportunities

I will support legislation that will allow children of immigrants to receive all the educational opportunities available from Kindergarten through Post-Secondary levels. I will also support legislation that would allow taxpaying immigrant workers, after five years, the opportunity for earning legal status. I will not support an expansion of the current Guest Worker program. Source: Campaign website, www.erikfleming.com, "Issues" Mar 2, 2008

I do not support English-only legislation

I do not support English-only legislation. I support immigrants legally working in this country to be allowed to receive driver's licenses, for their own safety and ours. I believe we should not discriminate against immigrants from certain countries like Haiti, while allowing other immigrants to freely come into our country.

Does not support vigilante groups like the Minutemen

I believe that America should do better towards its immigrant population. It was immigrants who shaped our culture with their beliefs and built our nation with their labor. I believe that immigrants should be protected from unscrupulous employers on issues concerning wages, organizing, health care and housing. I do not support vigilante groups like the Minutemen interfering with the duties of the men and women that make up our Border Patrols.

Let immigrant kids in schools; let parents earn legal status
