    Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is pleased to announce our endorsement of Dr. Virginia Foxx for US Congress based on her commitment to reduce illegal immigration, secure America’s borders, and restrict benefits to those that violate our immigration laws.

    “The race for North Carolina’s fifth district has been one of the most expensive and contentious races in America.� says William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Illegal immigration is the issue that’s been heard around the country. We are pleased to offer our support and endorsement for Virginia Foxx because she has made it clear that she will champion the fight against illegal immigration in the US Congress. Virginia Foxx is the correct choice for voters that want strong leadership in the fight against illegal immigration.�

    Many of ALIPAC’s members were involved with other campaigns during the primary and they now support Virginia Foxx. Dr. Foxx has made several commitments to combat illegal immigration in her campaign speeches and on her website at www.virginiafoxx.com She has proven her dedication to the issue by sponsoring legislation in the NC Senate that would restrict social services to illegal aliens.

    Dr. Virginia Foxx also received a high ranking from ALIPAC members for her responses on her candidate survey which is available at www.Alipac.us She indicated that illegal immigration should be a top priority, that illegal aliens should be deported, that illegal aliens should not receive driver licenses and in state tuition at public universities, and that illegal aliens should not be granted amnesty or placed in a “guest worker� program.

    “Dr. Foxx’s positions are representative of what the public wants.� says William Gheen. “Recent polls show that the vast majority of North Carolina’s legal citizens want action on this issue. Americans for Legal Immigration’s members will be working hard to assure Virginia Foxx is elected to Congress on November 2.�
