I have been working on a list of Senators & Representatives that seem to take a tough stand on immigration issues. I would appreciate any help to edit or add names & comments.

This is not a perfect list. Just names I started, then it grew with names & comments added by others on this forum. If no comment on some at this time it just means I do not know any details of their stand, but their name is here because they took a strong general stand.

I hope we can add many more names.

Also, maybe should have names of people that are not tough... but close and need a little shove to get them on the right path.
