Former
Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina said Monday that adult illegal
immigrants should not receive a path to citizenship under an immigration
fix, but said she is open
to giving their children citizenship.
Mrs.
Fiorina, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, also said
she could support giving those who "have come here illegally and stayed
here illegally" legal
status.
"I
think legal status is a possibility for sure," Mrs. Fiorina said on
MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I think their children maybe can become
citizens."
"But
my own view is that it isn't fair to say to people who have played by
the rules ... that you know it just doesn't matter," she said of giving citizenship to adult
illegal immigrants.
Mrs. Fiorina said the border must be secured and called for a "fix" to the legal immigration system.
The
60-year-old has never held elected office and is struggling to gain
traction in polling that will eventually determine whether she will be
able to participate in the
Republican National Committee's first sanctioned debate in Ohio on Aug.
8.
Participants need to be among the top ten candidates based on an average of national polls.
The Real Clear Politics average of surveys shows Mrs. Fiorina running in 13th place.
Republicans
are eager to have Mrs. Fiorina participate in the debates given that
she is the only woman in the field and they believe that she could
launch some of the
most effective attacks against former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.
On
Monday, Mrs. Fiorina said that Mrs. Clinton delivered a contradictory
speech at her first big rally since announcing she was running. Mrs.
Fiorina said the address
included a "long litany of left wing causes" and said that Mrs. Clinton
acts like she wants to be a president for all Americans, but then
"throws every Republican out there under the bus."
"But hey, it was a good launch. It was great rally," she said. "We should not underestimate her."
