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) YES. In the Q&A section of the Hutchinson for
Congress webpage www.freewebs.com/hutchinsonforcongress/ ... kforum.htm
The message is simple. Illegal immigrants are illegal, and we should
enforce our laws.
What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
immigration reform is or would be?
My opponent not only supports amnesty for illegal aliens, he also supports
putting illegal aliens on the welfare rolls, providing them with social
security, and housing benefits. This can be found on the Issue Positions
(NPAT) page of vote-smart.org
Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other
immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?
No.
Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC?
Yes.

these issues. (optional)
-------------------------------
Candidate Pledge
I, _Charles Hutchinson__, 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,
_Charles Hutchinson__________________
