Blake Masters on Dreamers: “No Citizenship, Ever”
PHOENIX — Blake Masters thinks he knows better than the vast majority of Arizona, which supports Dreamers.
Let’s set the record straight: Time and time again, Masters has opposed a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, taking a hardline “no citizenship, ever.”
Why it Matters: 83% of Arizonans — Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike – all support a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, but Blake Masters doesn’t care.
