Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana
In keeping with my goal of doing what I can to help elect conservatives to Congress, I’d like to ask our readers, especially those who live in Indiana, to check out Mike Pence’s positions on the issues that are important to us.
I have spent some time on Congressman Pence’s website and he is another member of the legislature who is rock solid on the hot button issues that turn out the base. I am still very much getting up to speed on Mike Pence and don’t claim to know much right now, but he seems to be pitch perfect on the immigration issue.
Below are a couple of quotes from his website.

Immigration
Securing the Borders and Reforming Immigration Without Amnesty
“Our plan puts border security first and cracks down on those who knowingly hire illegal workers, but it also recognizes the need for a temporary worker program that operates without amnesty and harnesses the power of the private sector to avoid creating a huge new government bureaucracy.”
-Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Rep. Mike Pence
July 25, 2006Securing the Borders First:
• The number one priority of any serious attempt at immigration reform must be a comprehensive and successful effort to secure the borders of the United States. Such an initiative must precede—not follow—the implementation of a temporary worker program. The border security initiative must include comprehensive surveillance that utilizes personnel and technology; infrastructure improvements including fences; checkpoints; detention facilities; judicial support; and deployment of additional Border Protection and Drug Enforcement personnel.
• This plan adopts the strongest provisions of the House and Senate-passed bills and addresses unlawful entry of terrorists and instruments of terror, undocumented immigrants, narcotics and human trafficking.
