  • In a radio interview on November 21, 2015, Carly Fiorina called the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans “unconstitutional” and said she would “roll it back.” The program, created by President Obama, shields eligible immigrant parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents from deportation and grants them with temporary work permits.[2]
  • At the 2015 GOP debate, Fiorina said, “You can't just wave your hands and say ‘the 14th Amendment is gonna go away.’ It will take an extremely arduous vote in Congress, followed by two-thirds of the states, and if that doesn't work to amend the Constitution, then it is a long, arduous process in court. And meanwhile, what will continue to go on is what has gone on for 25 years.”[3]
  • In August 2015, Fiorina said she did not support “amending the Constitution or challenging the 14th Amendment.” She also noted she would be interested in legislation similar to the DREAM Act offering foreign-born children who grew up in the United States without documentation the opportunity to become citizens. “I don’t think we should punish children for the sins of their fathers and mothers,” Fiorina said.[4]
  • According to her 2010 Senate campaign website, Fiorina supported securing the border and "developing an effective visa program and temporary worker program to support legal immigrants who fulfill important roles in our nation’s economy."[5]
  • During an April 2010 interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Fiorina commented on Arizona's immigration law. She said, "The people of Arizona did what they felt they had to do. I support their need to protect their citizens. But what we ought to be talking about is the federal government needs to secure the border."[6]
  • During the interview she also said, "I do not support amnesty."[6]
