Hunter Position on Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants: "No, Period."

News Blaze ^ | Nov. 16, 2007 | News Blaze

[AuntB]

Presidential candidate Congressman Duncan Hunter today reaffirmed his long-held position that as President he will not support any legislation that provides drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. In recent weeks, Senator Hillary Clinton has stated that she was both for and against providing drivers licenses to those here illegally, with her latest decision falling on the same day that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer announced that he was abandoning his controversial plan to issue licenses to undocumented immigrants.

"This is not a subject that our political leaders should be going back and forth on," stated Hunter. "All aspects of combating illegal immigration are important, but the ramifications are higher when we are discussing areas where opportunities are actually being created for those illegally in our country to be provided with a form of identification accepted nation wide.

"At tonight's Democratic debate, I expect Senator Clinton to once again state her position on this important issue based on who is in the audience and what they will like to hear. I disagree with that philosophy and I believe it is simply irresponsible. Voters should have a clear understanding where the candidates stand on this important issue. With me, people know where I stand and they know that just as I have always opposed providing driver licenses for illegal immigrants, I will continue to do so as President."

During his 27 years in Congress, Hunter has consistently voted against providing any forms of benefits to those who illegally enter the United States and he is a current cosponsor of two pieces of legislation prohibiting providing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants:

H.Res. 800- a resolution stating that that States should not issue driver's licenses or other government-issued photo identification to aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States.

H.R. 4160- legislation withholding highway funds from those states which issue a driver's license or identification card to illegal aliens.

Hunter has consistently emphasized the need to strictly enforce our immigration laws, rejected all calls for amnesty and is the author of the Secure Fence Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Bush last October, establishing 854 miles of double fence along the smuggling routes of California, Arizona and Texas.

Hunter has power and will continue to use it

Don't worry. The Bush family is hard at work even now to deprive him of that power.

I guarantee you that at some point in the future, there will be an attempt to link Hunter to some scandal. They already tried with the Randy Cunningham / Mitchel Wade gig.

That's the way this is done. They let a guy get so far and then they spring the dirt on him. The trick is to get far enough in the game that you can't be taken down, or you have enough power to cover your tracks - and you have the willingness to do that.

The current President is just such a person - a sociopath who has no qualms about playing the game as hard as possible to his own advantage.

He and his allies will have no reservationss about taking down such impudent, honest souls as Mr. Tancredo and Mr. Hunter when the opportunity and time presents itself.

[upsdriver]

He is electable. The people vote, not the media or the power brokers in the parties. They were also trying to shove amnesty down our throats. We prevailed in defeating amnesty, we can prevail in getting the people’s choice for president, too. We have the power, we only need the will.

[cripplecreek]

Hunter is THE Washington steam roller. A few months back he called democrats a bunch of cowards and the democrats never once protested like they would have done if it were Bush or McCain and others. I think they’re afraid of Duncan Hunter.

With Duncan Hunter in the white house I think we would see an end to the political grandstanding and theatre.

[Calpernia]

That may be true; but we are the ones that have to fix it.

Dear Duncan Hunter Supporters:

 

Sunday  November 18, 2008 is our DAD!

 

DAD?  Yes - Duncan Awareness Day!

 

Sunday November 18th 30,000 voices will speak as one!  We can and will introduce Mr. Duncan Hunter to America!

 

How?  I'm glad you asked!

 

Remember: 

 

This is to just be a brief introduction.  Not a hard sales pitch or a fund raising campaign.

Just a simple "Hi, how are you?  My name's Duncan Hunter and I'm very pleased to meet you."

Many of us may be very creative writers.  However remember the KISS principle.  Use something right from Mr. Hunters web-site.  That way there is no misunderstanding or confusion.

 

This is a four step plan and if executed properly, we can potentially introduce millions of people to Mr. Duncan Hunter.

 

Step 1:  Contact the media!  Send your message to 10 media resources.  This will be a 2-step process.  Will some of us contact the very same ones?  Sure we will.  That's great.  If they get contacted by one or 2 people, well it's no big deal.  If they get contacted by hundreds or even thousands - guess what?  It's a big deal!  It is newsworthy!

 

As an example, here is what I will be sending to 10 media resources:  Click Here

 

Click this link for an extensive list of media resources:

https://ssl.capwiz.com/cwp/dbq/media/

 

So ... compose your message and get ready ... set ... this Sunday - GO!  Send to ten!!

 

Step 2:  Contact Influential Individuals!  Now here we do want to be careful.  It would be great for each influential individual to get at least 5 e-mails but no more than 10.  Too many will be overly cumbersome. This is where some communication among ourselves will be required!

 

As an example, here are the 10 "influential individuals" I will be contacting:  Click Here

 

Who else wants to contact these 10 also?  Post your 10 for everyone to also consider!

 

So ... what should you send to the "influential individuals"?  Well - it's up to you.  Just make a selection right from Mr. Hunter's web-site and Send to ten!!

 

Step 3:  Contact Important Organizations!  The more people these organizations here from the better!

 

As an example, here are the Organizations I will be contacting:  Click Here

 

Remember "Target Marketing"!  Target the message to the audience and use something right from the web-site and Copy, Paste, Post!

 

Now, many of these organizations will have a "Links" page that will open up many more organizations that we can introduce Mr. Hunter to.

 

Will each of you post some more "organizations" for us to contact?

 

Step 4:  Contact The Masses!  Self-explanatary.  Send a simple e-mail to at least 10 maybe more people in your address book.  Urge these folks to forward it on to at least 5 or more people.  Market Mr. Hunter on MySpace and other "networking groups".  Post about him in bulletins, groups, etc.

 

As an example here is the message I will be sending out:  http://journals.aol.com/makatd/introducing/

 

Folks - LET'S DO THIS!  Everybody all together - One day 30,000 voices speaking as one will produce a mighty roar!

Here’s my standard post. We can do something about Illegal immigration.

RICO —Citizen Recourse
Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.

Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits. RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.

In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens.
Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.

Hunter is the best candidate on Immigration.

Hunter’s criticism of Thompson over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

You don’t need to guarantee me. I’ve seen the sites being constructed already that is going to be part of the propaganda project. And it is not the Bush family. It is Soros and his ‘Project Vote Smart’ minions. There is no trick or game. It is war and we are not backing down.

[Kevmo]

Let me ask you a question.
Should Hunter pass Thompson at Intrade, should Thompson supporters switch their support at that time? We needed to ask similar questions when Thompson was in the lead at Intrade and suggest that if he were to drop by more than 25 points, would they switch their support? No one did ask the question, but if they had, we would have gotten to hold those Freepers to their word. So now I’m asking what in your mind is probably something out of the realm of possibility. If Hunter passes Thompson at Intrade, , should Thompson supporters switch their support ? If you’re a Thompson supporter, will you give your support at that time? I’m just trying to bump Hunter up to 4 or 5% at Intrade, since he is at 4% in the polls. Thompson is at ~6%. So in your mind this is probably not possible but in the Hunter followers’ minds it is quite possible. It’s a yes or no question. Please, no hemming and hawing, no nonsense about how it’s such an impossible event that it’s not worth bothering over. Losing 29 points at Intrade was considered an impossible event when he had the lead, so please don’t pretend that one is possible and the other isn’t.

They should be. Hunter doesn’t need to pay or bribe followers like the dems do. And his followers are an army.

Rudy McRomney is the “Front Runner” and most people are too delicate to vote for anyone who doesn’t have a chance of “winning”, even though the “winner” will ...

1) raise the national debt

Voting for a “front runner” because “he can win” will ultimately turn you into a loser.

You are absolutely right, AuntB. Two things I have seen in my area lately have caused me to think the problem is the lack of enthusiasm in the ones who support the candidate. While I was in a checkout line at the grocery store, I saw a Ron Paul flier taped to a soft drink cooler. Then a few days later, I saw a handyman’s van with a huge Ron Paul sign across the side.

I asked myself what is stopping us from having that kind of enthusiasm for our candidate? The only thing I could think of is laziness and allowing the other side to dictate who or what is electable. If we were as insistent and persistent in promoting our candidate as Ron Paul supporters are, maybe it would not matter so much that the MSM wants Hunter to fall off the face of the earth. I remember that even on this conservative site, it has been admitted that a good number of people have lost faith that one of the only true conservatives in this race can win.

Either we believe in what we stand for by working our hearts out to support one who believes as we do, or we will be left to support those who only love conservatives at election time. I have not given up. I will fight for my beliefs and if they don’t prevail, I will have done my best and I will trust the Lord for the rest.

[Kevmo]

Very, very cool. I will be adding that to my standard immigration post.

[upsdriver]

“I see MSM as the main problem here. They have made a point of a avoiding him”

The MSM covers the negative. Is there anything negative to report about Duncan Hunter?

[yorkie]

Thank you for the great information!

[Regulator]

1) raise the national debt
2) leave the borders open
3) abandon the unborn

That's pretty much the Trifecta I care about...

[Marine_Uncle]

I had sensed early on, Duncan is his own man. This is the kind of person we need to run this country for the next eight years. Period.

[flat]

DIT DIT DITTOS aren’t there any big money patriots in the republican party who will get behind this fine man?

[freekitty]

You are right Aunt B.
