As a member of Congress I will use the full power of my office,

Illegal Immigrants should be deported when detected in the interior of
the US? (1-10) 10

I will oppose any form of Amnesty or path to citizenship for illegal
immigrants currently in the US because allowing them to become voters

illegal immigration in America? (1-10) 10

I would have opposed John McCain and Ted Kennedy's Amnesty bill S.

I oppose any non-emergency taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens, including welfare, food stamps, licenses, and in-state tuition subsidies? (1-10) 10

PLEDGE

If elected or re-elected to the US Congress, I will oppose any form of
Amnesty or path to citizenship for illegal aliens, including
Comprehensive Immigration Reform which would turn millions of illegal
immigrants into voters thus destroying future borders of America. I
will use the full power of my office, to insure the Executive Branch
secures America's border immediately and begins to adequately enforce
the existing immigration and border laws of the United States, which
were enacted by Congress at the behest of America's citizenry. I
understand that the failure of the Executive Branch to secure our
borders and enforce existing immigration laws is depriving all
Americans of a Republican form of government and depriving our states
of protection from invasion as mandated by the US Constitution. I
intend to use the power of Congress to immediately remedy this problem
that is costing many Americans their jobs, wages, taxpayer resources,
property, security, and sometimes their very lives.

So help me God,

John J. Loughlin II
