Federation for American Immigration Reform

Pledge

1. There are approximately 12 million illegal aliens currently residing in the United States, many taking jobs from unemployed Americans. Will you oppose or support legislation that would grant any form of work authorization to illegal aliens?

A: Support -- I believe we need to account for those here illegally and make sure they are paying their taxes.

2. Each year the United States gives legal permanent residency (green cards) to another 1 million immigrants who often fill jobs at lower wages. Will you oppose or support legislation that would increase the overall number of immigrants (legal permanent residents/green card holders) admitted each year to the U.S.?

A: Support -- I am in support of giving people from other countries an opportunity to succeed. I also believe that the number of people allowed into the U.S. for jobs should be adjusted based on current unemployment levels.

3. Despite growing welfare rolls and chronic youth joblessness, the United States admits over 700,000 guest workers annually to work in numerous professions. Will you oppose or support legislation that would increase the overall number of guest workers admitted each year to the U.S.?

A: Oppose -- Again, I believe that the number of people allowed into the U.S. should be determined my the current need based on unemployment levels. With current unemployment levels, the need is not sufficient to warrant more people into the country. But the future may once again warrant these workers.
