Tony Estrada Biography
- Title:
- Sheriff for Santa Cruz County in Arizona
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should the Government Allow Immigrants Who Are Here Illegally to Become US Citizens?"
- Reasoning:
-
“I think all of us understand now that people should come across legally, they should… But the stark reality of this phenomenon is that a lot of people who are coming across have no paperwork; they have no paper trail. They have no opportunity of getting a visa or work permit or anything. They have absolutely zero chances. So they are going to come, and the only way they feel they can do it is tracking here illegally to the United States.”
