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. The first step to address illegal
immigration is border security. The federal government should enforce
existing laws. I strongly oppose amnesty.
What do you feel your opponent's stance on illegal immigration or
immigration reform is or would be? Dennis Kucinich is "F" rated by ALI. He
has one of the worst records in the U.S. House of Representatives on
immigration.
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, Mike Dovilla, 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,
Mike Dovilla
