CANDIDATES! If you cannot find your name, Website and contact info posted on the appropriate District or Senate webpage, PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL at cfirfortworth@hotmail.com. Also, don't wait for us to send you an Inquiry form. Go to the # Downloadable Files or Inquiry Form (HTML version) and follow the instructions. Thanks. Welcome to the website where you can find a Texas state candidate's stance, or not, on illegal migration. This page has been designed to be searchable by district. To the left are hyperlinks that are numbered by District, they are labeled "House, Senate District Links." Under "House" are links to all the candidates for the State Representative. Under "Senate" are all the candidate(s) for the State Senate. NOTE: this site is under construction and not all the Districts have been posted. To the right are "Activist Resources", you may find them useful. If you click on the House or Senate District hyperlink of your choice, you will be taken to table naming the candidate(s) in that district, their response, or not, to our inquiry, any details we think are appropriate and their contact information. Below the table is a list of illegal migration control ideas that were introduced in the 80th Texas legislature. Using this list and the responses of the candidate, you can know the candidate's illegal migration stance precisely. There is an example named "District 0", which we have created to show you how the tables will eventually look. We are the Citizens for Immigration Reform-Fort Worth chapter. We are dedicated to making statutory changes in Texas state law affecting illegal migration. Our goal is to encourage self deportation by creating a regulatory climate that is easy for the legal immigrant, lawful resident or American citizen to live with, but hard for the illegal migrant. To this end we are canvassing candidates for political office and endeavoring to determine their stance on this issue. We hope to get as many candidates as possible to respond to us by February 15th so you will have the information when you go to the March primaries. In the months leading up to the general election we will attempt to list every candidate, Democrat, Republican or third-party and determine their stance on illegal immigration. Our Inquiry form consists of 36 illegal migration control ideas that were introduced (filed) in the 80th session of the Texas Legislature, 2007. They are listed and referenced to the House or Senate bill that they came from. We ask the candidates to go over the list and check the box that most closely coincides with the candidate's feeling about that idea. The ideas run the gamut, from those deliberately designed to provoke a court challenge and a Supreme Court decision, to those that seem to be just ordinary common sense. So, we are not expecting 100 percent support for the entire list. At the bottom of every candidate page there is an Inquiry form should you want to familiarize yourself with the ideas. This is a new Web site, and we haven't received much information yet. But if you're concerned about illegal migration and want to do something about it, we urge you to bookmark this page and return often. If you want to get on our mailing list, send a message to cfirfortworth@hotmail.com. Every time we add something, we will send out an e-mail with a general description of the update. That way, when a candidate from your district reveals his or her stance on illegal migration, you will be able to access that information. This web page has been set up is so that you will have the information about the candidates for state office in your district when you go to vote in the primaries. After the primaries, the information about the winners and their illegal migration stance will help you to make a decision in the general election in November of 2008. When the votes are in and the state legislature goes into session this information will help you in your advocacy efforts. Thanks, Joel Downs, President CFIRFW
