1* Should the federal government impose strong penalties against U.S. employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants?

2* In trying to control illegal immigration, would you support or oppose your state government mandating that all employers use the federal electronic E-Verify system to help ensure that they hire only legal workers for U.S. jobs?

3* Do you agree or disagree with this statement: “Hiring illegal workers harms legal workers by reducing pay, diminishing working conditions, and making fewer jobs available to Americans”?
