-------------------------------
Candidate Pledge
I, Ed Bowlin, hereby pledge to stand with the American public to have the US
Border secured and existing immigration laws enforced with the intention of
reducing the number of illegal aliens entering and remaining in the US. I
understand that the vast majority of Americans want the border secured,
taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens ended, local police helping to enforce
immigration laws, and employers that hire, aid, and abet illegal aliens to be
charged.
Furthermore, I will not support any trade agreement or Executive Branch treaty
that compromises our ability to enforce our existing immigration laws and
threatens US sovereignty.
I will actively oppose any attempt to remove or replace the current laws that
say illegal aliens are to be deported with a guest worker or temporary worker
program that allows illegal aliens to stay or quickly return to the US.
Signed,
