    Short Answer

    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) Only When asked Questions. It


    What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
    immigration reform is or would be? People should not be rewarded for
    breaking the laws of the US


    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? We
    don't accept PAC contributions.


    Please use the remainder of this space to share any further opinions on
    these issues. (optional) . Undocumented workers come into this country
    primarily from Mexico and Latin America where their own economies have been
    twisted by NAFTA and other trade agreements of the so called "free" kind.
    At least immigration with as much impact that it presents our own society
    with difficulties. Because the numbers of immigrants has increased
    dramatically we face assimilation problems and opportunities. We have
    always been a multicultural country but required newcomers to learn English.
    This was a burden on people who felt they were here first in the American
    Southwest. I am mixed about how to deal with the problems intelligently.
    If we don't enforce law then law becomes meaningless but the economic
    pressures driving the immigration create such numbers that it is difficult
    to enforce the laws. Agricultural workers have been a part of District 4
    for a long time and few employers have asked many questions as the exploit
    these workers and avoid union wages--benefits etc. These employers have
    never been policed when they hire undocumented workers. Thus the jobs exist
    and are filled not just in agriculture but in many parts of the service
    economy. I have taught English in a volunteer setting (actually created
    the program) for six years as a way of helping immigrants and second
    generation in some cases gain the resources to function more effectively.
    No questions asked. I am outraged that these people are exploited by their
    employers. Their undocumented status makes it difficult for them to live
    above board and to move into responsible participation in our society. Thus
    they are often paid social security and other benefits to which they don't
    have access. Structurally we have to work to insure that our trade
    agreements stop degrading the economic life of the countries from which the
    immigrants come. We have to find a way to allow these workers to be treated
    fairly but their presence must not be allowed to undermine the efforts of
    unions to organize and bargain for just wages for all in their industries.
    Thus I favor real strong penalties for those who hire undocumented workers
    combined with some method of documenting and regulating their participation
    in society when they have established homes and property rights here in the
    US. At the same time we must repeal the Taft Hartley Act and strengthen all
    workers rights to organize. When jobs are justly paid they will usually be
    filled by those in America and immigrants will not be so attracted to come
    (when scab jobs are not available.) I am unfamiliar with the current
    legislation except in general outline form. It sounds like an improvement
    from the status quo but a much broader approach is needed.
