She supported the Dream Act which conveys a path to citizenship. Her positions on immigration seem to me to be ride the tide. She's for the Dream Act and citizenship for illegal aliens, then states she doesn't think that's fair to legal immigrants, but of course fails to mention US citizens and what is fair or unfair to us, which of course at the present time is all immigration. She wants to secure the border first, then develop a plan for what to do with the illegal aliens that are already here, which of course by the time the border is secured will be decades from now if not an infinity. She like so many fail to grasp that until the United States deports every single illegal alien in the country, the border will never be secure. And at what point in her run for the Presidency does she think is an appropriate time to tell US what her plan is regarding the 20 million or more illegal aliens in the country? She's already come out in favor of more immigration, wants to fast track it, make it easier, when we in fact need a Moratorium. In her race for US Senate, she openly supported a "guest worker program".

Here it is:

Immigration

“Our borders aren’t secure, and we don’t have a temporary worker program that works. … Let’s solve real problems by doing things we know how to get done and that we can get done.”
- Carly Fiorina
Immigration made our nation great. The United States is blessed with a diverse population with diverse backgrounds and diverse beliefs. However, illegal immigration has eroded Americans’ trust in government, threatened our national security and hurt our fellow Californians.
Carly believes that the solution to our nation’s illegal immigration problem must begin with securing our borders. Without secure borders, we cannot begin to have a rational discussion about immigration policy. Technology holds great potential to help in our nation’s security efforts, and Carly believes we should use every tool at our disposal to ensure our borders are secure.
At the same time, Carly is also committed to developing an effective visa program and temporary worker program to support legal immigrants who fulfill important roles in our nation’s economy. An effective temporary worker program for seasonal agricultural employees and visa programs for workers in other high-skill, high-demand industries can help us fill what are often dire employment needs.


We have no "dire employment needs". We already have a temporary visa program for seasonal agricultural employees. We issue more green cards to people "who did it the right way" than we have jobs, money and resources to support them. We already have more visas for STEM workers, than jobs for them, so the visa workers are replacing American workers and growing unemployment in the United States.

Carly's not the answer on immigration or much else that I can see, and I wish she was, but she chose not to be.
