Survey Questions
(Please describe your feelings on the following with a number 1-10 or
with the response Undecided (1=Strongly Disagree, 2-4=Disagree,
5=Neutral, 6-9 Agree, 10=Strongly Agree)
I believe illegal immigration can be reversed if we enforce our existing
laws? (1-10) 8
As a member of Congress I will use the full force of my office to ensure
the Executive Branch starts to enforce our existing immigration laws?
(1-10) 10
Illegal Immigrants should be deported when detected in the interior of
the US? (1-10) 10
Law abiding and legal American citizens should be required to accept
biometric identification? (1-10) 1
I believe that local and state police should assist with immigration
enforcement? (1-10) 10
Federal taxpayer funding to groups that support illegal immigration like
La Raza should be stopped. (1-10) 10
I support "Comprehensive immigration reform" that would allow illegal
aliens currently in the US to stay without fear of deportation as guest
or temporary workers? (1-10) 3
Illegal aliens should be allowed to leave the US and return quickly on a
fast track as guest or temporary workers? (1-10) 3
Illegal Immigrants should be allowed to attend state sponsored
universities at in state tuition rates? (1-10) 1

I believe the existing law that says aiding and abetting illegal aliens
inside the US is a crime should be enforced? (1-10) 10
Banks should be allowed to continue giving taxpayer backed home
mortgages to illegal aliens? (1-10) 1
Executive Branch orders to US Border Patrol to only "Catch and Release"
illegal aliens at the border and not to speak to the media or Members of
Congress should be rescinded? (1-10) 10 - Absolute treason
Congress should investigate why the Executive Branch of the United
States is not enforcing our existing immigration laws, why all fines
against employers had ceased by 2004, and why some actions of the
Executive branch appear to be more in the interest of drug and human
smugglers than the American public? (1-10) 1 - Let me tell you why I
disagree - Because I already no the reason why. Abort our own and
import cheap labor. Destroy the unions and real wage growth and bring
in slaves. Its about the bottom line and both damn parties are playing
the same game. The conflict makes people think they are opposed to one
another yet nothing get done! What is to investigate!
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, yes to all if we had
the financial support, if we had party support, but this isn't going to
happen when your own party leaders put only lip-service to your concerns
and they see you are serious about enforcement. My message has been -
end the bureaucracy, don't process border crossers, turn them around at
the river/wall, and start fining employers! Etc.
What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
immigration reform is or would be? He is an open borders person.
Sovereignty is meaningless to my opponent.
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?
Naturally.
Please use the remainder of this space to share any further opinions on
these issues. (optional)
My rant on Congress above sums up my disgust.

Candidate Pledge
I, __Richard Noah Hough__________________, 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,
__________Richard Noah Hough_____________________
