125 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Immigration. 91 of them counted toward the score above: 38 toward “Expansive” and 53 toward “Restrictive”.

The other 34 did not count: 33 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 1 was one they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
