PAGE 4 SECTIONS DAILY HERALD C1D7 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2006 6th District hopefuls share views on immigration reform Candidates to replace retiring Congressman Henry Hyde in the U.S. 6th Congressional District representing DuPage and Cook counties are Republican Peter Roskam of Wheaton and Democrat Tammy Duckworth of Hoffman Estates. Q. list the three or four most important elements of your preferred immigration reform and explain what objectives they would achieve. Duckworth.

In any immigration reform, protecting our borders must be the top priority. In an era of global terrorism, it is unconscionable that the federal government has failed to address the millions of people who continue to enter the U.S. illegally. I would start by adding 12,000 new Border Patrol agents to the current force. We also need Congress to pass a comprehensive reform of our immigration system.

The proposal that I support does not provide amnesty. Instead, it requires illegal immigrants to pay fines, undergo criminal background checks, and pay all back taxes. Immigrants would be compelled to learn English and take courses in American culture and civics. and only an immigrant meets all of those requirements while continuing to be gainfully ELECTION2006 employed, he or she would be allowed to pursue legal status. Even then, these applicants would have to go to the back of the line.

Roskam. Without a doubt, we must secure our border if we are going to have a true dialogue on the issue of illegal immigration. I support placing National Guard units on the border. In fact, these efforts have already led to a 45 percent drop in arrests along the border. Moreover, the guard has been credited with 2,296 arrests of illegal immigrants, the seizure of 14,496 pounds of marijuana and 200 pounds of cocaine.

This is an encouraging sign that meaningful border security is within our grasp. I do support providing additional resources to federal and state law enforcement authorities to secure the border. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. In that vein, I am opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants. It is estimated that Ted Kennedy's amnesty legislation would cost taxpayers an additional $129 billion over 10 years, require the permission of Mexico to enhance our border security and grant guaranteed Your guide to arts crafts To submit your listing, e-mail or fax (847) 427-1301.

BXHCM50 KS Catch Sports Columnist Barry Roznerj Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Tammy Duckworth Peter Roskam Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants. Q. Do you favor or oppose making the Bush administration's tax cuts permanent? Duckworth. Middle class families are paying too much in taxes. I would vote to make permanent the per-child tax credit, repeal of the marriage tax penalty, and repeal of the estate tax for all but the wealthiest one percent of families.

Additionally, I would work to fix the Alternative Minimum Tax, which is forcing many middle-income families to pay thousands of dollars in additional taxes to the IRS each year by eliminating their ability to deduct their property taxes. 1 supported a bill passed by Congress this year that provided a short-term fix for the AMT. If elected to Congress, permanent AMT reform will be among my highest priorities. I also favor reforming the current tax code to make it simpler and faker. By closing loopholes that favor the special interests with clout in Congress, we can lower rates for everyone without further driving up the federal deficit.

Roskam. I firmly believe that making the taxes permanent will grow the economy, create more jobs and allow suburban taxpayers to keep more of their hard-earned money. According to the U.S. House Budget Committee, if taxes are not made permanent taxpayers will be hit with the largest tax increase in history. A family of four making $50,000 a year would experience a $2,000 tax increase if these tax cuts are not made permanent.

Married couples would have to pay $1,500 if we do not eliminate the marriage penalty tax. Finally, the onerous death tax would significantly Impact this district since 99 percent of all employers are small business owners who create 65 percent of all new jobs. I do not believe that a family-owned and operated business should have to liquidate the business in order to pass along the business one generation to the next. The elimination of the death tax helps the employees of the business that would lose their jobs should liquidation or downsizing occur. Q.

Please explain your views on current federal spending. Duckworth. In six short years, this Congress has turned healthy surpluses into massive deficits and a record, $9 trillion federal debt. Returning to balanced budgets will require sacrifice from members of both parties and an end to busLness- as-usual. My agenda for restoring fiscal common-sense begins with a return to pay-as- you-go budgeting, which requires any new spending or tax cuts to be paid for when the bill is passed.

This policy gave us budget surpluses in the late- 1990s, but was ended by Congress in 2001. I have called for eliminating the use of special "earmarks," which have added $60 billion a year in pork-barrel spending that isn't subject to review. Congress has failed to adequately oversee the billions of dollars being paid to military contractors in Iraq. I have called for a bipartisan Task Force to investi- gate such spending, ending the blank check for contractors and holding them accountable for xvaste and fraud. Roskam.

Washington has a spending problem, and unlike suburban families, our federal government does not live within its means. In Congress, I will rein in federal spending by providing sunshine to the federal earmark process which is fraught with unnecessary spending. In Congress, I would vote for a 1 percent across-the- board spending cut which would instantly save taxpayers over $2 billion. In addition, I will grant the president the line-item veto to slash unnecessary spending. My years In state government have given me a perspective about inefficient and outdated programs.

I will support legislation creating a "Sunset Commission" that wiU identify and eliminate outdated and inefficient programs that are costing taxpayers millions'of dollars per year. According to the Office of Management and Budget, 25 percent of all federal programs are "not performing." To read the complete see dailyherald.com. 226 Orchard Elgin.
