Playing a Leading Role in the Fight Against
Illegal Immigration

Dana advocates cutting off all government benefits to those who are in our country illegally. He also supports strengthening the border and holding employers accountable for hiring illegals. He believes that such a policy would result in a large number of illegals going home voluntarily. He also believes it is immoral to use our limited education and health resources to help those who are here illegally at the expense of U.S. citizens and legal residents.

During his tenure in office, Dana has voted for or supported legislation that:

- requires employers to check the legal status of those they hire

- mandates reform of a visa system to prevent visa overstays

- reaffirms that illegal aliens are not eligible for Social Security

Dana has opposed any form of amnesty. His strong and active opposition to President Bush’s plan to “normalize” the status of illegals was instrumental in mobilizing public opinion and defeating the bill in the Senate.

Dana applauds the many contributions of America’s legal immigrants and believes our nation’s diversity is a great asset. However, Dana remains one of the most outspoken advocates of tougher policies to stem the massive flow of illegal aliens into our country, including deportation of those who have broken our immigration laws.

Dana was instrumental in the freeing of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean
