Marshall, MN ? Cafe Con Leche is pleased to endorse Malvi Lennon for Connecticut State Senate 2.
Malvi?s platform stresses limited government and reduced government expenditures, to spur job creation, and common sense reforms in our public schools, such as school choice, pay for performance, etc. Malvi is also a small business owner who understands the impact of high taxes and government regulation on the economy.
We were especially impressed with Malvi?s life experiences as an immigrant from Cuba, and her grasp of immigration issues, including the role of state and local government in immigration, and assimilating new Americans. This perspective and background is needed in the legislature, and we think she can successfully expand outside the traditional GOP base and reach new voters, particularly moderate and conservative Hispanics, as well as independent voters.
Malvi supports immigration reform including a path to legalization, and she recognizes that we cannot enforce our way to a working legal immigration system, without addressing root causes of illegal immigration with an overhaul of legal immigration and guest worker programs.
In discussing issues such as immigration enforcement by state and local police, in-state tuition, English-only policies, she demonstrated an excellent grasp of these issues, and the unintended consequences that often result if these policies are not implemented in a sensible way.
For example, Malvi is opposed to sanctuary city policies, but she also does not believe immigration status should be checked during traffic stops, which encourages racial profiling, or during crime investigations, which deters witnesses from stepping forward if they or a family member are undocumented immigrants. However, suspects jailed for serious crimes should always have their immigration status checked, and ensures their deportation rather than release back into the community.
In our interview, she was able to articulate a common sense position on this issue, which balances the benefits of community policing, which requires trust from the immigrant community, with the need for public safety in removing dangerous criminals while they are jailed. In articulating a cogent position on this issue, Malvi demonstrated she can do the same with other complex issues.
Malvi?s support English as the language of government, but not to the exclusion of government services used by new immigrants, such as drivers license exams in languages other than English. She opposes bilingual education, and prefers immersion with extra help, so that students become proficient in school.
Malvi Lennon has solid credentials and would bring valuable insight to the Connecticut Senate. Please join us in supporting Malve Lennon for Connecticut State Senate!
