One audience member asked about the DREAM Act – specifically why Hatch ultimately voted against it when he was the one who originally drafted it.

The DREAM Act would have offered in-state college tuition and citizenship to the children of undocumented workers. Current political conversation is teeming with debate over several immigration reform bills.

"They made it into an amnesty bill. I can't support amnesty," Hatch said. "I don't think we're ever going to get this problem solved until we secure our borders. I hated to vote against it, because I really believe we should never hold it against the children of people who are undocumented."

He said government needs to give law enforcement the "teeth" to tighten border security. The revised DREAM Act was another "Democrat overreach" that expanded amnesty coverage.
