Thanks for this info.

This has been rehashed over and over.. the original source of the bad information seems to come from NumbersUSA, an anti-immigration (all immigration) that was started by a leftist environmentalist who used stopping immigration as a way to get into negative population growth to help the environment. NumbersUSA isn’t just incorrect on Thompson, it is wrong on pretty much every candidate. OnTheIssues.org is a far better resource because it takes actual bill votes, not simply votes moving a bill around for editing or review. It also takes into account if a Senator proposes a competing bill or amendment (as with the Exon amendment here) so it doesn’t falsely place someone as opposing an issue simply because they are proposing an alternate amendment.
