Border Security

Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.

Enforce Visa rules.  Immigration officials must track Visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their Visa or otherwise violates U.S. law.  This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired Visas.

No amnesty.  Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.

No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules, but taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.

End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.

Pass true immigration reform.  The current system is incoherent and unfair.  But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation.  This is insanity.  Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

About Our Borders and National Sovereignty

We must not reward people for breaking our laws! Our Constitutions 14th amendment states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United Sates" If you sneak into a country Illegally you are not subject to the jurisdiction thereof. We must stop anchor babies. We must control who comes in and out of our Nation remember several terrorists sneaked in. We must secure our borders before we tackle immigration reform.

The American people have always welcomed immigrants from all nations with open arms. There are ways to legally enter this country, and many people do that every year, Many more are waiting to enter this country, they have paid the fees and filed the papers and are following the laws in order to do so. To reward criminals that have disobeyed our laws by giving them something of great value, Citizenship in this great country, must not happen.

We must secure our borders first and foremost, so we can allow or stop people from entering at our discretion. We must stop people that have no right to be here from stealing from the poor and disabled in our country. Our welfare systems are being bankrupt by these criminals. Hospitals are being forced to close and exasperating an already bad situation. Our schools are over crowded by children that can not speak the language of our country, special teachers and arrangements are made at great expense destroying our educational system. Look at the test results on our students, they are dropping every year.

Our prisons are crowded with illegal aliens, more than 30% of our federal prison population are not citizens! We are paying a high price to feed and house, not to mention medical care, supplied to these individuals. We need to stop them before they enter this country. The numbers of illegal aliens driving drunk, driving without insurance, littering and breaking many laws after breaking the law by entering our country.

My suggestion is to secure our borders and not give tax payer paid benefits to people that have no right to be here. Any form of government assistance should only be available to those here legally, government issued ID should be available only to people with a legal visa and should expire when the visa expires, and if they are caught driving on an expired licensee with an expired visa or none, they should be deported immediately. Once we begin enforcing our laws the people that should not be here , will go home. Those that do not, when they are arrested for any reason should be sent home.
