Ron Wyden has not represented the people of Oregon for quite some time. We need to take a stand and remind him who he works for. His outright lying regarding immigration issues shows his lack of integrity and honesty towards Oregonians, he needs to go.

I've heard Ron Wyden answer questions from concerned constituents many times at Town Hall meetings on the issue of illegal aliens working and living in the United States. Senator Wyden disregards constituents concerns and says the jobs this population is doing illegally in Oregon are jobs Oregonians won't do.
This is a complete lie. I've been to many restaurants, hotels and construction sites and seen Oregonians doing the same work Senator Wyden claims natives won't do.
Senator Wyden never discloses why he supports keeping illegal aliens here. So we can only make up the answer. There's only one that rings true. Bringing more people here who depend on the government for their daily needs and continuing to extend free and subsidized housing, free medicine, free food, etc. they will vote for those who promise these services. This is how he intends to keep his Senate seat.

Why is this U.S. Senator working for non citizens? Supposedly only U.S. Ctizens put him in this office and yet he ignores the most basic needs of Americans, a paycheck.
Please donate to OFIR (& pay less taxes to support Illegal's) as my goal is too run a huge Ad campaign notifying all in Oregon of his true priorities.
If enough Oregonians knew of this travesty, Mr. Wyden will be out of his current job next year and we will have a U.S. Senator that works for us, for once.

Ron Wyden's record of catering to the employers of illegal aliens extends to lying to citizens outright. I asked him at a 2007 Multnomah town hall where he stood on the upcoming amnesty vote, and he replied that "we have to draw a bright line in the sand" against illegal immigration. But that didn't stop him from voting for the amnesty by procedurally pushing the bill to the floor. That's only what you do when you want to vote for a bill, not kill it.
Then he claimed to be for the E-Verify program but just voted against extending the program for another five years. He seems to think that he'll never be held accountable for his naked lies.
I called one of his D.C. immigration staffers to explain Wyden's E-Verify vote but he hasn't returned my call. Big surprise. Wyden's whole game plan on immigration enforcement is to lie like a rug and ignore both questioners and critics. It helps that he has complete cover in the media. It's time for Oregonians to dump him, as he prefers to represent illegal aliens instead of citizens.

Ron Wyden has an "F" rating on immigration with Numbers USA. Wyden has twice voted in the U.S. Senate for amnesty bills. His latest gift to cheap labor advocates was his recent vote against extending the federal E-Verify program.
We have an 11 percent unemployment in Oregon and Wyden could care less. We need to replace him with someone who cares about regular Oregonians.

We would like Senator Wyden to grow a back bone, stand firm on the PROBLEM of Illegal Immigration and please support E-Verify!
