Dear Mr. Watts:

Thank you for contacting my
office.  I appreciate that you took the time to express
your views on this important matter and am happy to respond.

As you know, the majority of immigrants entering our country
are in search of opportunities and freedoms unique to the United
States.  While I recognize that many of these people are
hard working individuals seeking a better life, I will not reward
illegal behavior by providing amnesty to immigrants who have broken
our nation's laws.

During the 112th Congress I cosponsored
legislation that would prevent the Administration from granting
amnesty to illegal immigrants through executive action.  I
also cosponsored legislation that would invalidate the
Administration's Department of Homeland Security directive to
enforce selective immigration laws already on the
books.

Securing our borders is a fundamental responsibility
of the federal government and, as the immigration debate continues
to heat up during the 113th Congress, you can rest assured that I
will continue to support policies that protect both our nation's
sovereignty as well as the interests of American
taxpayers.

It is an honor and a privilege to represent
constituents like you of the 15th District of Florida.  To
learn more on how I may serve you, please visit http://dennisross.house.gov/.  Please
feel free to continue to contact me in the
future.

Sincerely,

Dennis A. Ross
Member of Congress
