Where I stand
Illegal immigration is a serious issue for North Carolina, and the United States. It is imperative that we secure our borders and not reward those who have broken our laws. Last year, the anti-illegal immigration group NumbersUSA named me as having one of the top 10 immigration enforcement scores of all 435 Members of Congress.
