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)

I speak about the issue when campaigning and I wrote an essay that is featured on my
website - http://www.jeffsteinforcongress.com/iss ... ation.aspx

What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or immigration reform

My opponent backs the McCain/Kennedy
immigration reform proposal and is generally friendly toward mass immigration, both
legal and illegal.

reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?

-------------------------------

Candidate Pledge

I, Jeffrey M. Stein, 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,


Jeffrey M. Stein
