Greg Brophy position on in-state tuition for illegal aliens

[wctriumph]

Hi Greg, welcome to the forum and I hope you will be a regular contributor beyond the politics. There are many areas of the forum to particpate in and I hope you will make the most of what the mod's offer here.

Lets take Colorado back for the Citizens of Colorado and kick those lousy east and west coast pansies out of office. Good luck in the election.

Welcome to the forum Sen Brophy!

I have to echo what OneGuy said. I believe the illegal immigration situation in this state and the country is a huge problem. I'm not really for rounding everyone up and sending them back to their native countries (mostly because that would be impossble) but I don't think that rewarding illegals is the way to solve the problem, either. Sure, it isn't the fault of the children...but it sure doesn't discourage the parents from perpetuating the problem, either.

I sincerely thank you for your strong support of gun owners and gun rights in the legislature, especially last year.

However, your stance on illegal immigration may cost you my vote in the primary. However, regardless of that stance, if you're the republican candidate in November you'll have my vote.

I for one, disapprove of your vote on the ASSET bill; I also disapprove of Metro State and their decision to allow illegal aliens in-state tuition prior to the ASSET bill. All these things that are a benefit to those who are living here illegally, will encourage other illegal aliens to come to Colorado. The political climate is favorable to them, so why wouldn't they?

your record on illegal aliens does cause me concern and that will influence my vote in the Republican primaries.

+1 Well stated.

I love the discourse and will try to answer a few questions....

...

I have never, and will never, let you down on the Second Amendment. Period. You can count on that. RMGO knows that and that is why the endorsed me.

I want to earn your support. I'm not a typical politician. I'm a typical Coloradan. I'll protect your liberty and solve the problems you want your state government to solve.

Greg

Just the fact that you posted on here makes me want to vote for you and when I read that, I can say for sure that you have my vote.

My question is though, if you are not the republican candidate, will you then throw all of your support for whoever is? The last thing we need here at this moment in Colorado is a third party candidate that gives this state to the Dems. Greg, I hope you win and can restore some freedom to our great state, but I also hope if (for whatever reason) your campaign fails, you will realize that the most important thing is to not let our state go the way of California.

Best of luck!

So do you pick a candidate who totally aligns with your beliefs, or do you live with Hickenlooper for another four years?

totally man.

i mean last time for POTUS it was a person from MA who banned guns and instituted socialized health care vs someone who institute health care and only wanted to ban guns.

if you didn't vote fore the first you are a libtard.

guess what no matter what hickendickwad says or signs nor what some people with a fancy title in the legislature do... it takes WILLING VOLUNTEERS in the bureaucracy who say xzy has broken the LAW and then the volunteers in the enforcement arm of the State - aka cops enforce the bullshit by threatening to kill those who disagree.

but whatever, that last clause of a simple irrefutable truth has branded me a cop hater (tm). keep hanging out with your neighbor who volunteers to enforce or proclaim some BS cause you know... in july they make some kick ass ribs.

Anyone but gun grabbers in 2014!

[Aloha_Shooter]

Just remember when we divide our vote into 40%. 30%, 30% onto three Republican candidates, the Liberals are going all out getting Hickenlooper reelected, even though a lot of them are mad at his stance on Fracking. And when the day came that we really became California Ver. 2, try to remember why we lost.

This.

Senator Brophy, thank you! You still can count on my vote and support for the governorship this year! Keep up the good work!

Welcome Senator Brophy. This topic unfortunately has no easy answers without Federal action properly dealing with border security, revamping the visa program and how to fairly deal with those who came illegally.

For now I can live with instate tuition. It is a bandaid for a state issue dealing with Federal inability to solve this problem. If it were upnto me I would have Hillsdale College develope a oral and written exam in english for their 10 part constitutional series they have online for free. Anyone that had come here illegally and could pass this exam then allow them citizenship.


I want a Gov who will be a strong advocate for a business friendly environment, controll state spending, fully embrace the energy production from natural gas and oil from fracking. Of course 2A rights on this forum goes without saying.

Wish you the best of luck and looking forward to the primaries and vetting our best candidate to beat The Looper and move our state back into the red state status.

I'm a typical Coloradan. I'll protect your liberty and solve the problems you want your state government to solve.

Greg

unfortunately the typical Coloradan is a liberal democrat. I think you can see over the last 100 years we have had many more democrat governors than republican ones. From 1975 to now we have only had 8 years of republican governorship. Since 1947 we have had 43 years of democrat governors and 24 years of republican governors. Im not sure saying you are a typical Coloradan is good.

The problem I want the state government to solve is...how to get smaller, repeal as many unnecessary laws as possible and stay the hell out of our lives. I bet you cant make that happen.
