NumbersUSA’s Congressional Grade Card is published every legislative session of Congress ranking each member of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate based on their scores in the following 11 different categories: Support Great Solutions, Reduce Chain Migration, Reduce Visa Lottery, Reduce Unnecessary Worker Visas, Refugees and Asylees, Reduce Amnesty Enticements, End Birthright Citizenship, Reduce Illegal Immigration Rewards, Strengthen Border Security, Strengthen Interior Enforcement, and Leadership.
Ogles and U.S. Representatives Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05), Bill Posey (R-FL-08), and Matt Rosendale (R-MT-02) all received perfect 100 percent scores.
“I am proud to be one of only four Members of Congress to have a perfect score on the policies that will help secure our border,” Ogles said in a statement.
