[b]Short Answer[/b]
Has your campaign addressed the topic of illegal immigration in speeches,
commercials, ads, or campaign materials? What are those messages? (Please provide
sources or examples)
I have not been asked. My parents were legal immigrants, and I think we
shoulld allow immigration, but it should be legal and selective.
What do you feel your opponent’s stance on illegal immigration or immigration
reform is or would be?
I don't think he has been asked, either. He would say whatever his party
told him to.
Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other
immigration reform or illegal immigration reductions groups at this time? No.
Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC? Yes.
Please use the remainder of this space to share any further opinions on these
issues. (optional)
Generally, I think immigration is a good thing. I am concerned about
terrorists, "welfare cheats", and others who may come here illegaly or for selfish
purposes (eg. I want my baby to be a US citizen, but I would never bother to
learn English). Generally, I'm for law enforcement, but the excesses of the USA
PATRIOT Act and the general trend toward fascism in this counrty make me
reluctant to say, "Crack down on illegal immigration." I fear we are becoming a
police state.
