Illegal immigrants take jobs from our citizens. I'm working to stop illegal immigration and secure America's borders. We must keep America strong and free by supporting the war on terrorism. While the United States has had a number of successes in fighting those who want to destroy America, our borders are porous and are far too open to illegal immigrants, potential terrorists, and drug dealers.

I'm committed to stopping the flow of jobs out of our country. We must preserve jobs in America for Americans. We need even more job training and additional job opportunities, and we must continue our fight against trade legislation and agreements that shift manufacturing jobs to third world countries.

Social Security must be preserved for senior citizens and the disabled. I am working hard to protect Social Security and Medicare, and have helped to provide a presecription drug plan for seniors and the disabled. Social Security and Medicare were lifesavers for my mother, who died at age 87, and are lifesavers for millions of other Americans.
