Editing Orrin Hatch (section)

==== Immigration ====
Hatch was one of the architects and advocates of the expansion of [[H-1B visa]]s and has generally been an advocate of tougher enforcement immigration policy including voting for 1,500 new law enforcement agents to patrol the United States' borders. His 2010 Immigration Bill titled Strengthening Our Commitment to Legal Immigration and America's Security Act has received the support of the [[Center for Immigration Studies]] (CIS).<ref>{{cite web |last=Kephart |first=Janice |url=http://www.cis.org/kephart/hatch-bill |title=Senator Hatch Drops a Helpful and Thoughtful Border Security Bill |publisher=Center for Immigration Studies |date=October 3, 2010 |access-date=January 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308100806/http://www.cis.org/kephart/hatch-bill |archive-date=2012-03-08 |url-status=live }}</ref> He also proposed the [[DREAM Act]], which would provide a pathway to citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants, who were children when their parents came to the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://rs9.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:SN01291: |title=Bill Summary & Status – 107th Congress (2001–2002) – S.1291 |publisher=THOMAS (Library of Congress) |access-date=January 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150218165321/http://rs9.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:SN01291: |archive-date=2015-02-18 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Hatch critiqued President [[Donald Trump]]'s 2017 [[Executive Order 13769|executive order]] to temporarily suspend immigration from seven Muslim countries until better screening methods are devised. He reflected on his own family's immigration history and described the order as placing "unnecessary burdens" on families.<ref name="Farber">{{cite web|last1=Farber|first1=Madeline|title=Here Are the Republicans Who Have Criticized President Trump's Immigration Ban|url=http://fortune.com/2017/01/29/donald-trump-immigration-ban-republicans/|website=[[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]]|access-date=January 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170130230747/http://fortune.com/2017/01/29/donald-trump-immigration-ban-republicans/|archive-date=2017-01-30|url-status=live}}</ref>
