If I were elected President of the United States of America, I pledge to lobby for the enforcement of current immigration laws and further, to reduce immigration until the living wage has recovered.
If every 20 years Congress grants amnesty to illegals, it only gives illegals more encouragement to break our laws and take advantage of handouts by coming here unlawfully. I wouldn’t expect a seek and remove plan, but rather an enforcement of basic laws we already have.
I would hold departments such as the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration and Federal Welfare programs accountable; no more granting Taxpayer Identification Numbers to illegals, no more free food, no more free health care, no more free money, period. It’s not a matter of them paying taxes, contributing to our economy or not, it’s a matter of them being here illegally; breaking our laws. In these cases, the Federal government should provide an easy and fast method to repatriate illegals to their country of origin.
Ann Coulter recently wrote how the influx of illegals is what keeps our minimum wage low. I think she’s right, it would appear the historical context bears that out; she makes a good argument. As she points out, other countries with higher minimum wages also enjoy extremely strict immigration; you can’t just waltz into their country and ask for a job, or a handout. Why can you do that here? Read the rest of this entry »

If I were elected President of the United States of America, I pledge to carry a fiream, full time.
I will illustrate and exercise the right all American’s should have; to reasonably carry a firearm either openly or concealed as they wish. I will continue to put trust in the Secret Service for my personal protection as it can be managed by them. However, my position on carry will be to illustrate to the nation it is a Constitutionally protected right to bear arms. The message I want to send to the nation is that carrying a gun is not something to be afraid of nor should it be compulsory; however, it should be respected. Just as one person might like working at the local Humane Society shelter for animals and another would rather adopt babies from overseas, the idea of carrying firearms as a sign of loyalty to the Constitution and the people of the United States of America should be met with equal respect.
I will not consider or entertain any reductions to present law with respect to types of firearms, magazine capacities, styling accoutrements or eligibility for ownership. I will encourage the gun industry to be responsible in it’s offerings; to be self-regulating and provide safe education, training and assistance to the public and individual citizens. I would expect police departments to enforce the laws we have; taking pains to both educate individuals and take reasonable steps to incarcerate those who break the law. I would ask they approach individuals with reasonable care; without heavy- handed thuggery. The more we can educate the individual to take responsibility for themselves and to have respect for others, the less problem guns will be. I should also point out it should not be a respect of “power” or “intimidation” just because someone carries a gun; it should be respect for someone who is willing to defend the Constitution, a respect for someone willing to defend fellow citizens and individuals, a respect that others may be willing to do what they can within the limits of the law before the police can be there.
Do we have a criminal problem with respect to guns? Yes, and we already have laws designed to address that. Short of assigning one police officer to every citizen, there is no way to ensure total safety from guns for any individual. Even in the case of being able to assign one police officer to every citizen, police officers too are sometimes swayed by evil. Many would say the only solution is to remove all guns from society. But the United States of America is -not- an isolated society. When guns are removed from the citizens here, evil men in other countries will still have guns; they will find ways to bring their guns here and exact the evil of men upon us. Guns aren’t the problem, evil is.
Look at the evil found in the heart of the Nazis who systematically disarmed and exterminated millions of people, mostly targeting Jews. I find it a shame we no longer seem to educate young people about this travesty of history, reminding them of the inhumanity and encouraging them to uphold human dignity and values; to believe in protecting human life. The young of this nation need to see the photos, they need to see the films, they need to understand the pain of those who survived. The evil most in this country see today and wish to thrust upon the stage of gun control debate takes place close to home; we -must- change the school protection paradigm.
