Interesting site that rates immigration stance for candidates

This is an interesting site we came across if illegal immigration and related issues are important to you. It's called "Americans for Better Immigration." They track the candidates and then grade them / rate them. Here's the intro from the site:

Americans for Better Immigration (ABI) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization which lobbies Congress for reductions in immigration numbers.

ABI believes the problem with immigration today is not the individual immigrant but the numbers. "Better" immigration is lower immigration.

By grading federal politicians on their immigration actions, ABI provides one of the essential tools for helping citizens demand the policy they want.
