GLENWOOD SPRINGS — The Trump administration’s directive to Congress to deal with immigrants , brought illegally by their parents, is a chance to do so with “compassion,” says .
Likewise, it’s a chance to achieve the kind of broad immigration reform that might prevent the situation from playing out again in the future, the Republican from southwest Colorado said Monday before a gathering of Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association members.
“We can deal with this compassionately when it comes to the folks who are already here, and my office has been consistent about that,” said Tipton, who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
President Donald Trump announced earlier this month that he is reversing the Obama-era , which allowed young immigrants who met certain requirements to stay in the U.S. to work or go to college.
“We do need to make sure we aren’t just continuing to replicate that same problem over and over again,” Tipton said.
