*Incumbent
NAMES IN GREEN WITH YELLOW HIGHLIGHT are True Immigration Reform Candidates committed to ending illegal immigration and reducing overall immigration levels (as reflected in the 12 categories of the survey).
NAMES IN GREEN are incumbents who generally support reductions in illegal immigration. They haven't taken the survey and their actions in Congress aren't quite good enough to qualify as a True Immigration Reform candidate. But their overall Recent immigration actions have earned them better than a "B" grade.
NAMES IN PURPLE are candidates who generally support reductions but their answers on the survey did not quite qualify them as True Immigration Reform candidates.
NAMES IN RED are candidates who completed the immigration survey, but whose answers identify them as more opposed than supportive of overall immigration reductions (illegal and legal) -- or they are incumbents whose Recent immigration actions in Congress have earned them worse than a "C" grade.
NAMES WITH OUR 
SYMBOL preceding them indicate candidates whose survey responses best meet the criteria for being a "True Immigration-Reform Candidate" in races in which more than one candidate's name appears in green.
ENCOURAGE CANDIDATES TO TAKE THE IMMIGRATION SURVEY. If you find a candidate page with no positions shown, email an immigration survey to that candidate and strongly encourage him/her to take it so that voters can be properly informed.

ABI NEVER ENDORSES CANDIDATES. Our highlighting of some candidates is to help citizens know who is most likely to work for reducing overall immigration so citizens can factor that information into their voting decisions. But we realize that voters mark their ballot based on many issues and judgments about the character and leadership of a candidate. We don’t presume to suggest the best candidate for your overall needs and interests. And NumbersUSA is strictly non-partisan, with no preference for one party or another.
