AVON — Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes told a group during a campaign stop that he’ll be tough on illegal immigration no matter what the federal government thinks, saying “screw them.”
Maes was speaking at a restaurant in Avon when he made the comments Sunday after saying that as governor he would make sure a state law is enforced that prevents illegal immigrants from receiving public assistance without proper identification.
“We just need a leader with the courage to do that,” Maes said. “I don’t care what the federal government thinks about it.
“Screw them. We’re going to do what’s best for the people of Colorado.”
