Not certain how your candidate stacks up on immigration issues?
On the radio the other day, I heard Michael Medved touting to his audience that only a tiny portion of the American public is actually concerned about illegal immigration. I disagree with him! Often, if given a choice about concerns that voters have, illegal immigration will not be the first words out of their mouths.
But, voters will say they are concerned about terrorism, national security, JOBS, stagnant wages, over-crowded schools, high taxes, drugs, gangs, crime, the culture of corruption, the environmental impact on our environment of increased population and on and on. Every one of their concerns is directly impacted by - hold on to your hat - illegal immigration and excessive legal immigration.
This election cycle, it's more important than ever before, to fully understand your candidate's position on the issue of illegal immigration and excessive legal immigration. If you aren't asking, you may be surprised - and disappointed.
OFIR encourages our members to visit a candidate's website and discover if a detailed statement is posted about immigration, If there is not, please contact that candidate and ask them to make a public statement on their website. If, after a few pokes and reminders, there is still nothing posted, that might give you a clue as to their commitment to solving the problem.
