        <![CDATA[<p><b>Representative J. Gresham Barrett</b> is a Republican currently serving District 3 in South Carolina, which includes Clemson and Aiken and has served in the House from 2003-Present.</p>

<p>Representative J. Gresham Barrett has had an outstanding record when it comes to <b>border security</b>. There are currently at least 12 million (with estimates reaching as high as 30 million) illegal aliens in this country. The first line of defense is controlling our porous borders. Representative J. Gresham Barrett clearly wants to secure our borders and the votes show that.</p>

<p>After an illegal alien has entered our country the next line of defense is <b>interior enforcement</b>. Currently employers are not required to verify that an applicant or employee is legally allowed to work in this country. In addition, local law enforcement at the state and local level have had their hands tied when dealing with illegal aliens by not even allowing them to inquire about arrestees' citizenship status. Representative J. Gresham Barrett has worked hard to allow state and local law enforcement to help in reducing illegal immigration and to put in place workplace verification systems allowing employers to quickly verify the legal working status of their employees.</p>

<p>If an illegal alien avoids being picked up, or remains here after receiving deportation orders, the next thing they look for are incentives, rewards and benefits. <b>Amnesty</b> is the largest of these rewards and gives illegal aliens a path to citizenship or makes them instantly legal. Representative J. Gresham Barrett does not approve of amnesty for illegal aliens and has worked against it.</p>

<p>Representative J. Gresham Barrett has voted against giving illegal aliens further rewards and other incentives to come such as <b>in-state tuition</b>, <b>educational benefits</b>, <b>welfare</b> and <b>health care services</b>.</p>

<p>Once here, many illegal aliens have what is known as an "<b>anchor baby</b>". This is caused by a misinterpretation of our 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which calls for all born on American soil to be given US Citizenship. Unfortunately this Amendment has been misinterpreted and was initially put in place to ensure that freed slaves were citizens and has been twisted and misused to include even the children of foreigners who cross illegally into this country and have a child. Once born this new "citizen" allows the parent to gain benefits at the expense of the taxpayers. Representative J. Gresham Barrett has been fiercely opposed to anchor babies and the increased illegal population that they support through taxpayer dollars.</p>

<p>On the issue of legal immigration Representative J. Gresham Barrett has stood opposed to the <b>visa lottery</b>. Each year 50,000 names are chosen to come to the US legally without regards to their needs, intentions, education level or whether they would benefit the United States. "Winning the lottery" takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to immigration. Once in the country these new immigrants can apply for taxpayer funded services.</p>

<p>Once an immigrant is legally here they can send home to bring in more adults from their family such as parents, siblings and adult children. That legal immigrant can then bring in more family members directly related to them. This is called <b>chain migration</b> and Representative J. Gresham Barrett is opposed to it. Chain migration has exponential growth and is the primary cause of the 4-fold increase in immigration to this country since 1960.</p>

<p>A high majority of <b>refugee and asylum seekers</b> to this country are not by international definition in need of relocation. This program is ripe with fraud and Representative J. Gresham Barrett has worked hard to crack down on it.</p>

<p>Representative J. Gresham Barrett has voted against increases in <b>permanent and temporary foreign work visas</b> such as the H1-B. Sometimes foreign workers are desirable in fields where there is a lack of American workers to fill the positions. All too often these work visa programs are abused by employers and used to get lower cost workers into this country rather than hiring American workers. For the foreign worker it is common to see them not return to their home country and remain here on an expired visa.</p>

<p><b>Overall, Representative J. Gresham Barrett has an outstanding record when it comes to immigration reform.</b></p>

<p>We dub Representative J. Gresham Barrett an immigration reform champion receiving our highest ranking and our seal of approval.</p>

Representative Dana Rohrabacher does not approve of amnesty for illegal aliens and has worked against it.</p>

<p>Representative Dana Rohrabacher has voted against giving illegal aliens further rewards and other incentives to come such as <b>in-state tuition</b>, <b>educational benefits</b>, <b>welfare</b> and <b>health care services</b>.</p>

<p>Once here, many illegal aliens have what is known as an "<b>anchor baby</b>". This is caused by a misinterpretation of our 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which calls for all born on American soil to be given US Citizenship. Unfortunately this Amendment has been misinterpreted and was initially put in place to ensure that freed slaves were citizens and has been twisted and misused to include even the children of foreigners who cross illegally into this country and have a child. Once born this new "citizen" allows the parent to gain benefits at the expense of the taxpayers. Representative Dana Rohrabacher has been fiercely opposed to anchor babies and the increased illegal population that they support through taxpayer dollars.</p>

<p>On the issue of legal immigration Representative Dana Rohrabacher has stood opposed to the <b>visa lottery</b>. Each year 50,000 names are chosen to come to the US legally without regards to their needs, intentions, education level or whether they would benefit the United States. "Winning the lottery" takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to immigration. Once in the country these new immigrants can apply for taxpayer funded services.</p>

<p>Once an immigrant is legally here they can send home to bring in more adults from their family such as parents, siblings and adult children. That legal immigrant can then bring in more family members directly related to them. This is called <b>chain migration</b> and Representative Dana Rohrabacher is opposed to it. Chain migration has exponential growth and is the primary cause of the 4-fold increase in immigration to this country since 1960.</p>

<p>A high majority of <b>refugee and asylum seekers</b> to this country are not by international definition in need of relocation. This program is ripe with fraud and Representative Dana Rohrabacher has worked hard to crack down on it.</p>

<p>Representative Dana Rohrabacher has voted against increases in <b>permanent and temporary foreign work visas</b> such as the H1-B. Sometimes foreign workers are desirable in fields where there is a lack of American workers to fill the positions. All too often these work visa programs are abused by employers and used to get lower cost workers into this country rather than hiring American workers. For the foreign worker it is common to see them not return to their home country and remain here on an expired visa.</p>

<p><b>Overall, Representative Dana Rohrabacher has an outstanding record when it comes to immigration reform.</b></p>

<p>We dub Representative Dana Rohrabacher an immigration reform champion receiving our highest ranking and our seal of approval.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><b>Representative Duncan Hunter</b> is a Republican currently serving District 52 in California, which includes Poway, Santee and Lakeside and has served in the House from 1981-Present.</p>

<p>Representative Duncan Hunter has had an outstanding record when it comes to <b>border security</b>. There are currently at least 12 million (with estimates reaching as high as 30 million) illegal aliens in this country. The first line of defense is controlling our porous borders. Representative Duncan Hunter clearly wants to secure our borders and the votes show that.</p>

<p>After an illegal alien has entered our country the next line of defense is <b>interior enforcement</b>. Currently employers are not required to verify that an applicant or employee is legally allowed to work in this country. In addition, local law enforcement at the state and local level have had their hands tied when dealing with illegal aliens by not even allowing them to inquire about arrestees' citizenship status. Representative Duncan Hunter has worked hard to allow state and local law enforcement to help in reducing illegal immigration and to put in place workplace verification systems allowing employers to quickly verify the legal working status of their employees.</p>

<p>If an illegal alien avoids being picked up, or remains here after receiving deportation orders, the next thing they look for are incentives, rewards and benefits. <b>Amnesty</b> is the largest of these rewards and gives illegal aliens a path to citizenship or makes them instantly legal. Representative Duncan Hunter does not approve of amnesty for illegal aliens and has worked against it.</p>

<p>Representative Duncan Hunter has voted against giving illegal aliens further rewards and other incentives to come such as <b>in-state tuition</b>, <b>educational benefits</b>, <b>welfare</b> and <b>health care services</b>.</p>

<p>Once here, many illegal aliens have what is known as an "<b>anchor baby</b>". This is caused by a misinterpretation of our 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which calls for all born on American soil to be given US Citizenship. Unfortunately this Amendment has been misinterpreted and was initially put in place to ensure that freed slaves were citizens and has been twisted and misused to include even the children of foreigners who cross illegally into this country and have a child. Once born this new "citizen" allows the parent to gain benefits at the expense of the taxpayers. Representative Duncan Hunter has been fiercely opposed to anchor babies and the increased illegal population that they support through taxpayer dollars.</p>

<p>On the issue of legal immigration Representative Duncan Hunter has stood opposed to the <b>visa lottery</b>. Each year 50,000 names are chosen to come to the US legally without regards to their needs, intentions, education level or whether they would benefit the United States. "Winning the lottery" takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to immigration. Once in the country these new immigrants can apply for taxpayer funded services.</p>

<p>Once an immigrant is legally here they can send home to bring in more adults from their family such as parents, siblings and adult children. That legal immigrant can then bring in more family members directly related to them. This is called <b>chain migration</b> and Representative Duncan Hunter is opposed to it. Chain migration has exponential growth and is the primary cause of the 4-fold increase in immigration to this country since 1960.</p>

<p>A high majority of <b>refugee and asylum seekers</b> to this country are not by international definition in need of relocation. This program is ripe with fraud and Representative Duncan Hunter has worked hard to crack down on it.</p>

<p>Representative Duncan Hunter has voted against increases in <b>permanent and temporary foreign work visas</b> such as the H1-B. Sometimes foreign workers are desirable in fields where there is a lack of American workers to fill the positions. All too often these work visa programs are abused by employers and used to get lower cost workers into this country rather than hiring American workers. For the foreign worker it is common to see them not return to their home country and remain here on an expired visa.</p>

<p><b>Overall, Representative Duncan Hunter has an outstanding record when it comes to immigration reform.</b></p>

<p>We dub Representative Duncan Hunter an immigration reform champion receiving our highest ranking and our seal of approval.</p>

Each year 50,000 names are chosen to come to the US legally without regards to their needs, intentions, education level or whether they would benefit the United States.

<p>Once an immigrant is legally here they can send home to bring in more adults from their family such as parents, siblings and adult children. That legal immigrant can then bring in more family members directly related to them. This is called <b>chain migration</b> and Representative Robert Goodlatte is opposed to it.

<p>A high majority of <b>refugee and asylum seekers</b> to this country are not by international definition in need of relocation. This program is ripe with fraud and Representative Robert Goodlatte has worked hard to crack down on it.</p>

<p>Representative Robert Goodlatte has voted neutral regarding increases in <b>permanent and temporary foreign work visas</b> such as the H1-B.

All too often these work visa programs are abused by employers and used to get lower cost workers into this country rather than hiring American workers.

        <![CDATA[<p><b>Representative Dennis Hastert</b> is a Republican currently serving District 14 in Illinois, which includes Aurora and Dixon and has served in the House from 1987-Present.</p>

<p>Representative Dennis Hastert has had an excellent record when it comes to <b>border security</b>. There are currently at least 12 million (with estimates reaching as high as 30 million) illegal aliens in this country. The first line of defense is controlling our porous borders. Representative Dennis Hastert clearly wants to secure our borders and the votes show that.</p>

<p>After an illegal alien has entered our country the next line of defense is <b>interior enforcement</b>. Currently employers are not required to verify that an applicant or employee is legally allowed to work in this country. In addition, local law enforcement at the state and local level have had their hands tied when dealing with illegal aliens by not even allowing them to inquire about arrestees' citizenship status. Representative Dennis Hastert has worked hard to allow state and local law enforcement to help in reducing illegal immigration and to put in place workplace verification systems allowing employers to quickly verify the legal working status of their employees.</p>

<p>If an illegal alien avoids being picked up, or remains here after receiving deportation orders, the next thing they look for are incentives, rewards and benefits. <b>Amnesty</b> is the largest of these rewards and gives illegal aliens a path to citizenship or makes them instantly legal. Representative Dennis Hastert does not approve of amnesty for illegal aliens and has worked against it.</p>

<p>Representative Dennis Hastert has voted against giving illegal aliens further rewards and other incentives to come such as <b>in-state tuition</b>, <b>educational benefits</b>, <b>welfare</b> and <b>health care services</b>.</p>

<p>Once here, many illegal aliens have what is known as an "<b>anchor baby</b>". This is caused by a misinterpretation of our 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which calls for all born on American soil to be given US Citizenship. Unfortunately this Amendment has been misinterpreted and was initially put in place to ensure that freed slaves were citizens and has been twisted and misused to include even the children of foreigners who cross illegally into this country and have a child. Once born this new "citizen" allows the parent to gain benefits at the expense of the taxpayers. Representative Dennis Hastert has been fiercely opposed to anchor babies and the increased illegal population that they support through taxpayer dollars.</p>

<p>On the issue of legal immigration Representative Dennis Hastert has stood opposed to the <b>visa lottery</b>. Each year 50,000 names are chosen to come to the US legally without regards to their needs, intentions, education level or whether they would benefit the United States. "Winning the lottery" takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to immigration. Once in the country these new immigrants can apply for taxpayer funded services.</p>
