Although she has not cosponsored any bills for immigration, rep. Mary Bono Mack of district number 45 has said that she feels sympathetic to people who are in the U.S. without proper documents, she advocates for a solution that provides tougher law enforcement. In addition, rep. Bono has also said that she supports a "guest-worker" program for immigrants who wish to work in the U.S. Rep Bono would be an excellent candidate to pressure into cosponsoring the D.R.E.A.M. act.
