compare the above plank with this one:

---

We affirm the integrity of the international borders of the United States and the Constitutional authority and duty 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 approximately one million legal immigrants and almost as many 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 oppose the abuse of the H-1B and L-1 visa provisions of the immigration act which are displacing American workers with foreign.

We favor a moratorium on immigration to the United States, except in extreme hardship cases or in other individual special circumstances, until the availability of all federal subsidies and assistance be discontinued, and proper security procedures have been instituted to protect against terrorist infiltration.

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.

We demand 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 call for the use of U.S. troops to protect the states against invasion.

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.

Oop, you beat me!

And thank you for the information.

[WhiteGuy]

That's the policy I agree with, thanks for pointing out the difference.

[Proud Legions]

Interesting. More importantly, what does the Democratic Platform say? Seems it should also be in the comparison.

BTTT!

The only one that makes sense.

Thank you for posting this. This is one reason why I will vote for the constitution party. I cannot support the republican party any more.
Call it what you want to but the republican party is not doing anything to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Native born Americans are ceasing to grow their numbers. Third world immigrants are failing to assimilate.
Our public education system is a failure. We are below those of other developed nations.
The US is outsourcing white collar jobs to foreign nations.
Our "meals on wheels" armed services are in countless countries around the world instead of protecting our borders.
The US budget deficit is above 4 percent of GDP.
Our trade deficit is 6 percent of GDP.
The dolloar has lost a third of its value against the Euro.
One sixth of all mfg. jobs are gone.
The government has balloned to one fifth of our economy.
We started a war based on lies which has now fomented world wide hatred around the world. It is right to fight terrorism but let us hit the correct targets, ie Saudi Arabia. Afterall weren't 18 of the 19 hijackers Saudis?
We blindly back Israel's illegal settlements and "Berlin Wall". Despite what people are saying the reason why the Arab world hates us is because of our unconditional backing of what Israel does, right or wrong.
I'll stop here but the list could go on.

That platform should be the Republican one. It actually sounds like an American Citizen with no pre-sold loyalties wrote it.

Constitution Party, eh?

Wonder if they would be a more appropriate protest vote for Political Human Sacrifice? Got to be better than the Democrap candidates.

And, in a perfect world, I would be voting for them. However, in this imperfect world, I would be helping John Kerry win and I can't do that.

The CP needs to run for congressional and state offices in the foreseeable future.

As a fun test, you should have first posted the Constitution Party language on Immigration, here on FR, without saying which party it was! Just say "Here's the Party platorm on Immigration!". Watch a bunch of people say "Hey, that's great!", or, "See Conservatives, you should get behind the Party!". Then tune in around FR thread post number 100 and break the news that it was not the GOP, but was from the Constitution Party platform.

CP certainly is much better in their wording than the RNC is, that's for sure, on this vital issue. Our hope is to try to torpedoe any cockamami immigration proposals during a Second Bush Administration, through the Congress, our voice on this issue. Even THAT, is a pipe dream I admit.
