Ken Buck speaks after winning the 4th Congressional District seat on Nov. 4. (Craig F. Walker, Denver Post file)
Re: “Ken Buck and Cory Gardner join Congress in new roles,” Jan. 7 news story.
As an evangelical pastor in Greeley, I share the frustration of Rep. Ken Buck regarding previous congressional inaction on immigration reform. Greeley is a diverse community in which hard-working immigrants play an important role, moving our economy forward.
We need to fix our current immigration system. It’s sad to see families separated and our communities divided. The current system has created a permanent underclass and affects people with and without documentation every day.
My hope is that Rep. Buck and other politicians who want to find middle ground on immigration can translate that desire into legislative action and not get lost in political limbo with the typical, partisan rhetoric.
Buck has the opportunity to lead on immigration reform and I applaud him and any legislator from either side of the political aisle who wants to ensure just, common-sense immigration reform that will benefit both immigrants and native-born citizens.
