WASHINGTON, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following statement was issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court:

"As it relates to immigration policy, Brett Kavanaugh is a superb choice to fill the current vacancy in the U.S. Supreme Court. President Trump should be commended for choosing a candidate who clearly understands the nation's patchwork of immigration laws and how they are intended to protect both American workers and the overarching national interest.

"In several immigration-related dissents, Judge Kavanaugh rejected illegal alien voting in union elections and noted that 'mere economic expediency does not authorize an employer to displace American workers for foreign workers.'

"With important immigration-related decisions heading to the Supreme Court – including the challenge to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) – Judge Kavanaugh will provide expert insight into the legality of the program and the ability of future administrations to circumvent Congress and create tailored amnesty programs for large groups of illegal aliens."
