Kay Hagan's campaign says she has worked on immigration.
In an e-mail to Dome, a spokesman for the Democratic Senate candidate noted three legislative efforts that tackled the issue of illegal immigration in the past two years.
* In 2006, Hagan voted for an omnibus technical corrections bill that included a provision that would require all applicants for a driver's license present proof they are in the state legally. (The amended bill passed the Senate 41-6.)
* In 2007, Hagan voted for an omnibus studies bill that included a study of the impact of illegal immigrants on the state's health care and criminal justice systems and economy. (The bill passed the state Senate 49-0.)
* The 2007-08 budget, which Hagan voted for and helped craft, included $750,000 to train sheriffs' offices on illegal immigration.
In addition, as previously noted, Hagan cosponsored a 2003 bill that never made it out of committee that would have led to a study on illegal immigration.

Dole has no record
June 3, 2008 - 7:44am — James_ProtzmanAfter years sitting in her Watergate apartment, she's finally figured out where North Carolina is and come a' callin' just in time to suck up to a bunch of sheriffs as part of her reelection campaign. She's done NOTHING to make America more secure or safer, though her assaults on the constitution are quite nearly legendary.
If the federal government had created a sane immigration policy, people like Hagan wouldn't be left having to clean the messes of people like Dole.
For all you folks who think Dole's done a great job on immigration, how come you're whining about the big immigration problem you think we have? The proof of incompetence is in the Republican pudding.
