I am forwarding a radio ad my campaign is running right now that focuses on protecting our borders and the problem of illegal immigration.

I hope you will agree with what you hear in the ad.

As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I am deeply concerned about the growing national problem of illegal immigration which affects not only our national security, but also overburdens our healthcare systems and our schools.

For me, the bottom line is this – we should not reward people who break our laws by coming to this country illegally. It is unfair to the countless productive citizens who followed the rules and obeyed our laws to come here legally and become part of the American dream.

Through your generous support we can share this message with voters throughout the 3rd Congressional District. I have also sent you some other legislation I have supported.

Please take a moment to:

NOTES from Congressman Jones…

Border Security is National Security
 

“Border protection is critical to our national security and economy. The illegal immigration crisis is causing higher taxes for social services, higher costs for health insurance, and it costs our public schools millions every year. The time has come to reform and enforce our immigration policies.”

Congressman Walter Jones
