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) Through speeches I have addressed this issue as I talk about increased funding for border patrol in the U.S. and about the amount of state funding/jobs, etc that are being given to illegal immigrants.
What do you feel your opponent’s stance on illegal immigration or immigration reform is or would be?
I do not know his stance on the issue. However, I do know his votes in Congress have been AGAINST increased funding for border patrol. His main concern is the national deficit, so at this point in time, I am doubtful he would support anything that would create more government spending.
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)
