We [The Constitution Party] affirm[s] 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.
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 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.
Any takers?
Sign me up.
Tell me where I can learn more...
well, this is what we're gonna do.. see..
The one thing that is keeping me in the Republican Party is Tom Tancredo. I want to vote for him in the Republican Primary.
I like what i read! I think the constitution party ran a man from Maryland for president in 04. I cant remember his name... It might be Mike Peroutka or something along those lines...
I've never been a one-issue voter before, but I'm thinking this is the hill I'll choose to die on. Soooooo.....who's running for President in this party?
"Sounds good, but will this go anywhere?"
Who knows.. maybe useful to inch the GOP back to the right a notch or two.. grow a spine maybe.
and voting constitution party or libertarian is going to so what exactly?
do
I agree. I feel very used over the years. I can easily vote Constitution Party next time around.
If you look further this bunch is against the war and in several areas they so state.
Under Terrorism & Personal Liberty...America is engaged in an undeclared war with an ill-defined enemy and it goes on.
Howard Dean or Ted Kennedy coouldn't have written it better.
Since there are more Democrats than Republicans and the
Republicans start spliting the vote all you are doing is
electing a Democrat.
The Third Party folks did this before and gave us Carter and Clinton.
Sure.
It will go to Clinton just like Perot did.
Allow the big spending pork bellied hypocritical RINOs to wallow on the sidelines and contemplate the folly of their ways.
What with the ballooning if fed spending and the abandonment of conservative principles I hardly see a difference in the parties right now.
*We ended up with Bill Clinton because of George HW Bush, by the way. He *made* a 3rd party nearly viable.*
That one doesn't wash. Am glad you enjoyed Clinton and his 8 wonderful years. Am sure your vote will put his wife in next time.
