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 have made immigration enforcement the cornerstone of my race and
continue to run direct truthful ads to address the situation. Check out
my ads at robinsonforcongress.com
What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
immigration reform is or would be? Originally, He was opposed to every
effort to secure the border, on the last fence vote, he flip flopped and
voted for it because he knows it is costing him politically. The same
week he voted for the fence, he also addressed a group of illegals at
our local "Fiesta del Peublo" event for latinos in Raleigh. It was
there that he said my campaign was a thin disguise for "the worst case
of racial hatred I have seen in my lifetime." I can't figure out who he
is the bigger liar to, his constituents or the illegals.
Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other
immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?
Have received endorsement from Team America PAC & US Immigration Reform
PAC.
Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC?
Absolutely.

-------------------------------
Candidate Pledge
I, __Vernon Robinson__, 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,
____Vernon Robinson_________________
