Rep. Joe Wilson

Friends,
Rep. Joe Wilson has come under further attack for his outburst of yelling "You Lie!" during President Obama's health care speech. Some are now saying it was racially motivated, BUNK. Rep. Wilson is not perfect BUT still has a fine record, lets stop this Liberal assault on his character by supporting him.

Representative Joe Wilson is a Republican currently serving District 2 in South Carolina, which encompasses Hilton Head and has served in the House from 2001-Present.
Representative Joe Wilson has had an outstanding record when it comes to border security. There are currently at least 12 million (with estimates reaching as high as 30 million) illegal aliens in this country. The first line of defense is controlling our porous borders. Representative Joe Wilson clearly wants to secure our borders and the votes show that.
After an illegal alien has entered our country the next line of defense isinterior enforcement. Currently employers are not required to verify that an applicant or employee is legally allowed to work in this country. In addition, local law enforcement at the state and local level have had their hands tied when dealing with illegal aliens by not even allowing them to inquire about arrestees' citizenship status. Representative Joe Wilson has worked hard to allow state and local law enforcement to help in reducing illegal immigration and to put in place workplace verification systems allowing employers to quickly verify the legal working status of their employees.
If an illegal alien avoids being picked up, or remains here after receiving deportation orders, the next thing they look for are incentives, rewards and benefits. Amnesty is the largest of these rewards and gives illegal aliens a path to citizenship or makes them instantly legal. Representative Joe Wilson has not had a chance to vote yet on amnesty for illegal aliens.
Representative Joe Wilson has voted against giving illegal aliens further rewards and other incentives to come such as in-state tuition,educational benefits, welfare and health care services.
Once here, many illegal aliens have what is known as an "anchor baby". This is caused by a misinterpretation of our 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which calls for all born on American soil to be given US Citizenship. Unfortunately this Amendment has been misinterpreted and was initially put in place to ensure that freed slaves were citizens and has been twisted and misused to include even the children of foreigners who cross illegally into this country and have a child. Once born this new "citizen" allows the parent to gain benefits at the expense of the taxpayers. Representative Joe Wilson has been fiercely opposed to anchor babies and the increased illegal population that they support through taxpayer dollars.
On the issue of legal immigration Representative Joe Wilson has stood opposed to the visa lottery. Each year 50,000 names are chosen to come to the US legally without regards to their needs, intentions, education level or whether they would benefit the United States. "Winning the lottery" takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to immigration. Once in the country these new immigrants can apply for taxpayer funded services.
Once an immigrant is legally here they can send home to bring in more adults from their family such as parents, siblings and adult children. That legal immigrant can then bring in more family members directly related to them. This is called chain migration and Representative Joe Wilson is opposed to it. Chain migration has exponential growth and is the primary cause of the 4-fold increase in immigration to this country since 1960.
A high majority of refugee and asylum seekers to this country are not by international definition in need of relocation. This program is ripe with fraud and Representative Joe Wilson has worked hard to crack down on it.
Representative Joe Wilson has voted for increases in permanent and temporary foreign work visas such as the H1-B. Sometimes foreign workers are desirable in fields where there is a lack of American workers to fill the positions. All too often these work visa programs are abused by employers and used to get lower cost workers into this country rather than hiring American workers. For the foreign worker it is common to see them not return to their home country and remain here on an expired visa.
Overall, Representative Joe Wilson has a very good record when it comes to immigration reform.
We dub Representative Joe Wilson an immigration reformer receiving our third highest ranking and our seal of approval.
