SOURCES & EXPLANATIONS
• Most positions are based on immigration surveys filled out and signed by the candidate. (Click here for a survey to send to candidates for whom no positions are shown.)
If a challenger returns a survey, but the incumbent does not, the incumbent's positions are filled in based on the incumbent's past actions in Congress.
• Capitalized green positions (i.e. SUPPORTS - OPPOSES) indicate a stance that would encourage lower immigration and more U.S. stability.
• Lower-case red positions
(i.e. supports - opposes) indicate stances that would lead to higher U.S. immigration, sprawl and congestion.
• Squares that are blank  indicate that no position is yet known for that issue.
• "SUPPORT/OPPOSE" indicates a mixed stance that is more supportive than oppositional.
• "OPPOSE/SUPPORT" is similar but indicates more opposition than support.
