Short Answer

immigration. It is all ads and campaign material.

immigration or immigration reform is or would be? Can

immigration reduction groups at this time? Have high

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

Candidate Pledge
I Marsha W. Blackburn, 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,

Marsha W. Blackburn
Candidate
