Dick Mountjoy on Immigration

We must control our borders; and no amnesty

If we're to protect our nation, we must control our borders. That's why, as our U.S. Senator, I will work to immediately strengthen our border with improved barriers and beefed up law enforcement. I will also fight against any attempt to give illegal immigrants government funded services, and I will oppose ALL amnesty schemes.

Author of Proposition 187

The 73-year-old Mountjoy is no stranger to politics or controversy. As former president of the California Republican Assembly, the state's largest conservative activist group, Mountjoy was the author of Proposition 187, which was approved by 59 percent of voters in 1994 and would have denied government health care, education and welfare benefits to illegal immigrants.
