It needs to echo across all this land. the border States that are well represented in this presentation here today. but also throughout the heartland of America. It is an intense issue. I know that the gentleman from Arizona talked about a 9 to 1 survey that they want tighter border controls in Arizona. Your statistics. I think. would be close to that. We put out a survey a year ago last March to 10.000 of my constituents in a random mailing that went into these households. Democrats and Republicans alike. It was all on immigration. The question that was the most significant was: On a scale of 1 to 10. with 10 being the most intense. how intensely do you agree with this statement: We should reduce legal immigration and eliminate all illegal immigration. If you counted the 6s. 7s. 8s. 9s and 10s as being agreeing in intensity. 97 percent of my constituents said we want to have less legal and no more illegal immigration. I wanted to tell you that we stand with you in Iowa. we stand with you in the Midwest. we stand together as American citizens. It is time to defend our borders and protect our sovereignty.
