On the heels of a successful hearing on immigration reform in Plano, today Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) announced that Third District residents will have the opportunity to make their voices heard on this important issue. On August 3rd, 4th, and 5th during the day, voters in the Third District may receive a phone call at home asking them to express their views on immigration in a quick, four-question phone survey.
“Immigration reform is a huge issue before Congress. It’s important that I know where constituents stand so I can better represent them,” said Johnson. “While a congressional hearing in Plano on immigration was very important, House rules prohibited public comment. Therefore, I am reaching out to my constituents to learn their views on this high-profile issue.”
Congressman Johnson’s pre-recorded message will seek input on four issues dealing with immigration reform. Specifically, constituents will weigh in on the so-called catch-and-release policy for illegal immigrants, border security enforcement, paying Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants, and granting American citizenship to people working illegally in America for over two years, also known as blanket amnesty.
Voters will be selected at random and must have a home phone number on their most current voter-registration file. Constituents wishing to express their opinions on immigration may send the Congressman an email by logging onto his website, SamJohnson.house.gov. In addition, those who finished the survey are encouraged to elaborate on their answers by sending the Congressman an email via his website, SamJohnson.house.gov.
“I hope folks take time out of their busy day to complete the immigration survey when they’re called,” concluded Johnson.
Johnson represents portions of Dallas and Collin Counties.
