Thread: Help with new Senator/Rep listing

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.


Representatives
Dana Rohrabacher (R) California (Tough on border security & illegal employer punishment, opposed to compromise bill.)

Pete King (R) New York (One of the best. Opposes amnesty, tough on border security & illegal employer punishment.)

F. James Sensenbrenner (R) Wisconsin (One of the best. Opposes amnesty, tough on border security & illegal employer punishment.)

Richard Baker (R) Louisiana

Bobby Jindal (R) Louisiana

Tom Tancredo (R) Colorado (One of the best. Opposes amnesty, tough on border security & illegal employer punishment.)

Chuck Grassley (R) Iowa (Opposed to amnesty ("any form of it". Tough on border security.)
