Haley Campaign Press Release - Fact Check: Haley Believes Illegal Immigrants Must Follow the Law

Ron DeSantis is so desperate to copy Donald Trump, he's even copying Trump's lame and easily debunked lies about Nikki Haley's record on immigration.

LIE: Haley doesn't think illegal aliens are law-breakers.

TRUTH: Haley has always opposed illegal immigration and talked about being a country of law and order. In 2011, she passed one of the toughest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country and spoke passionately about America being a country of laws.

The 2015 comments reflect Haley's belief that not every illegal immigrant is a hardened criminal, but they still have to follow the law.

Haley's 2015 comments: "I think that what we have to remember, and I have always believed, is that we are a country of laws, that's what makes us strong. We have to always be a country of laws. So it's incredibly frustrating for a lot of people when they see the illegal immigrants being able to come across. It really is astonishing that after all of these years, D.C. hasn't figured out how to build a wall. It really is, after all of what they spend."
