"The failure here isn't in the work ethic of Americans.

But NumbersUSA's Roy Beck finds that of 15 candidates of both parties, only six are even making promises that rate them as "good" or "excellent" on fighting future illegal immigration.

See Roy Beck's Ratings for All Presidential Candidates on Immigration Issues
NumbersUSA Founder and CEO Roy Beck has analyzed and ranked all presidential candidates based on the campaign promises they have made and their past actions in elected office. NumbersUSA encourages all candidates to turn away from bad or poor positions of the past, and asks concerned voters to encourage them in working towards "true" immigration reform solutions that don't reward illegal aliens. Per our policy, candidates will be rewarded with improved ratings when they adopt the preferences of the majority of Americans for far less overall immigration.
