That I'm waiting to see who steps up and has a workable plan to clean up what the R's and D's have done to America. I sure hope they step up soon.
Immigration
We affirm the integrity of the international borders of the United States and the Constitutional authority and right of the federal government to guard and to protect those borders, including the regulation of the numbers and of the qualifications of immigrants into the country.
Each year some 972,000 legal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enter the United States. These immigrants — including illegal aliens — have been made eligible for various kinds of public assistance, including housing, education, Social Security, and legal services. This unconstitutional drain on the federal Treasury is having a severe and adverse impact on our economy, increasing the cost of government at federal, state, and local levels, adding to the tax burden, and stressing the fabric of society. The mass importation of people with low standards of living threatens the wage structure of the American worker and the labor balance in our country.
We favor a moratorium on immigration to the United States, except in individual hardship cases or in other individual special circumstances, until the availability of all federal subsidies and assistance be discontinued.
We also insist that every individual group and/or private agency which requests the admission of an immigrant to the U.S., on whatever basis, be required to commit legally to provide housing and sustenance for such immigrants, bear full responsibility for the economic independence of the immigrants, and post appropriate bonds to seal such covenants.
The Constitution Party demands that the federal government restore immigration policies based on the practice that potential immigrants will be disqualified from admission to the U.S. if, on the grounds of health, criminality, morals, or financial dependence, they would impose an improper burden on the United States, any state, or any citizen of the United States.
We oppose the provision of welfare subsidies and other taxpayer-supported benefits to illegal aliens, and reject the practice of bestowing U.S. citizenship on children born to illegal alien parents while in this country.
We oppose any extension of amnesty to illegal aliens.
We oppose bilingual ballots. We insist that those who wish to take part in the electoral process and governance of this nation be required to read and comprehend basic English as a precondition of citizenship. We support English as the official language for all governmental business by the United States.
Secondly, I understand the frustration with this president's approach to the illegal alien problem. I honestly do not believe that it is malicious on the part of the president though. I believe that, although he is a politician, he is a decent man who cares about America and wants to do the right thing, and given what he has been handed by history, I have to commend him for a job well done.
That said, President Bush has feet of clay and one of his clay feet is his apparent inability to recognize that our country is being invaded and the face of our nation is quickly becoming nearly unrecognizable to some of us. He doesn't seem to grasp the impact that the sheer volume of illegals will have on our economy, our infrastructure, our culture and even our freedom. I think he is equally blind to the underlying evil of Islam, his other clay foot. I pray that he would be enlightened and empowered to these weaknesses in his own vision.
We have no shortage of enemies, foreign or domestic and until we are able to effectively find them, expose them and neutralize them, we will live with apprehension for tomorrow in the shadow of growing oppression.
