I was concerned by your recent statements to the Economist where you said that you did not want to reduce legal immigration levels. These statements contradict your Joint Address to Congress when you said, “Protecting our workers also means reforming our system of legal immigration. The current, outdated system depresses wages for our poorest workers, and puts great pressure on taxpayers.”
The most outrageous worker importation bill ever
Sen. Ron Johnson’s new legislation, the State Sponsored Visa Pilot Program of 2017, is a travesty on so many levels. Importing 500,000 foreign workers each year will directly harm the more than 9 million Americans who cannot find a full-time job and make it much more unlikely that any of the 95 million Americans outside the labor force will return to it.

Support H.R. 193
As long as the United States is a member of the United Nations, our Constitutional rights are in danger.

NO to H-2B increases!
The new omnibus unveiled by the House Appropriations Committee calls for increases in the number of H-2B visas issued every year. I urge you to strip this provision out before it comes to the floor for a vote.

Please do all you can to ensure that the next spending bill does not increase H-2B numbers.

As your constituent, I ask that you fight to defend, advance, and secure my freedom, as required by your oath of office.

Support S. 446
Constitutional rights do not end at state borders. That is why Senator Cornyn introduced S. 446 — Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 — that stops anti-gun states such as New York and California from cancelling the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
Block sanctuary legislation
I am a California voter who wants you to block passage of SB 54. Preventing police from communicating with ICE about criminal aliens is dangerous and violates federal law. Police may not know what convictions or other offenses are on a person’s record, or who that person really is, unless they communicate with ICE. Do not play politics with our safety and well being.

Please vote to confirm Neil Gorsuch
I urge you to reject any filibuster of the Neil Gorsuch nomination — and to vote for him as the Court’s next Supreme Court Justice.
