Terrill to Receive Award for Real Immigration Reform

State Rep. Randy Terrill has been named a winner of the Federation for American Immigration Reform's "We the People" Award.

The award is granted to "people whose efforts have demonstrated exceptional service to the immigration reform movement." Terrill will receive the award in recognition of his work as author of one of the most meaningful state-level immigration reform laws in the country.

"The Federation for American Immigration Reform has been successfully holding the line in Washington by preventing amnesty for illegal aliens," said Terrill, R-Moore. "House Bill 1804 has become a model not only for other states but for the nation as well. On behalf of the citizens of House District 53 and the taxpayers of the state of Oklahoma, it's an honor to be recognized for that work."

Terrill will be presented the award at a banquet tonight in Washington, D.C. The Federation for American Immigration Reform is conducting its annual "Hold Their Feet to the Fire" rally this week to encourage Congress to secure the border first and oppose amnesty for illegal aliens.

Approximately 50 radio and television program officials are in attendance at the event.

Terrill is one of three recipients of the "We the People" Award this year.

The other honorees are CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and Dr. Rodney Hunt, founder of the Mississippi Federation for Immigration Reform and Enforcement.
