Three Weld Republican state lawmakers said Monday that they signed on to a national coalition that promotes sealing the nation’s borders and cutting off economic attractions for illegal immigration.
The lawmakers — Reps. Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud, Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling and Sen. Scott Renfroe of Eaton — announced that they and 11 other GOP legislators joined State Legislators for Legal Immigration.
The national coalition was formed by a state representative in Pennsylvania and advocates for federal cooperation in securing the nation’s borders “against unlawful invasion,” according to a press release.
The group also calls for the elimination of all public benefits, welfare, education and employment opportunities for illegal immigrants.
