I was surfing around and found this to be an interesting site.

Work back in the reverse order of how they (the anti-immigration people running the site) would want you to use the information and you can see which of your elected representatives (state & local) may/may not help you & your families- based on their voting record on immigration issues.

Much of that "information" is unscientific, i.e. defining "Anchor Babies" not as U.S. citizens in their numbers, repeating invalid data about certain percentages of fugitives or inmate populations that has long been discounted, or disease levels from immigrants by "Doctors" (doctorate in the law field, not in medicine for the late Dr. Madelline Cosman). In some cases the elected representatives themselves (it was Steve King from Iowa that came up with the mistaken "25 American deaths from illegals per day" numbers) that are much of the problem with how they use those notions, and thinking the ranting small xenophobic groups that are vocal enough to call *all* representatives (not just those that represent them in government) are the same views as the majority of the U.S. population. I participate in forums (for the Latino aspect, ALIPAC.net, not to be confused with ALIPAC.US) to stay sane myself.
