Freshman Rep. Dennis Ross Joins 5-for-5 Club
Freshman Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) joined NumbersUSA's 5-for-5 Club after cosponsoring House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith's E-Verify bill, H.R.2164, last week. Rep. Ross is the third freshman to join the 5-for-5 Club, but more importantly, the first Member of the House Immigration Subcommittee. He's also the first Member of the House Judiciary Committee to go 5-for-5.
Rep. Ross represents Florida's 12th Congressional District after the seat was vacated by amnesty supporter Adam Putnam. Rep. Ross was identified as a "True Reformer" during the mid-term elections after completing NumbersUSA's immigration-reduction survey.
"America is a nation that has always welcomed immigrants and respected the rule of the law. The two are not opposed to each other. I am truly appreciative of the work of NumbersUSA to ensure that our leaders in Washington remember that if we are to be a nation welcoming to immigrants, we must be a nation of laws," Rep. Ross said. "Securing our borders, defending against the threats posed by drug cartels and terrorists, and creating an immigration system that works should be the goals of all Americans. I consider this 5-for-5 designation a clear demonstration that what I said during my campaign translated into my actions in Washington. I am honored by this designation and look forward to seeing these pieces of legislation become law."
Rep. Ross has now cosponsored:
- END CHAIN MIGRATION - H.R.692 introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey
- MANDATORY E-VERIFY - H.R.140 introduced by Rep. Steve King
- END VISA LOTTERY - H.R.704 introduced by Rep. Bob Goodlatte
- END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP - H.R.140 introduced by Rep. Steve King
- HELP INTERIOR ENFORCEMENT - H.R.100 introduced by Rep. Marsha Blackburn
