My problems with the Republican Candidates for President in the 2008 Election:
Rudy Giuliani
-Pro-Choice, supported 2nd Amendment restrictions, was soft on illegal immigration while Mayor of NYC
Mike Huckabee
-Agreed with Supreme Court decision overthrowing Texas anti-Sodomy law, supports in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, believes in accommodating immigrants and not assimilation, coddles illegal immigrants on other issues, supports National smoking ban in the workplace (State's issue), raised taxes while Governor of Arkansas
Duncan L. Hunter
-Who is he? Congressman from San Diego. That's all I know about him.
John McCain
-McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform (biggest restriction on free speech), supported Summer '07 Illegal Immigration Reform which would have granted legal status to illegal immigrants, pro-choice (wouldn't support overturning Roe v. Wade), incessant on the idea that water boarding is torture and should be banned from use, thinks Vietnamese people are Gooks, favorite of elitist media personalities
Ron Paul
-Wants to pull out of the War on Terror
Mitt Romney
-He's Mormon for one, and two, see my previous post.
Fred Thompson
-Voted against Bill Clinton's Impeachment, lobbyist for National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Assn, voted against laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation
As of now, there are only two that I feel comfortable voting for. I think Ron Paul and Fred Thompson are more closely aligned with my personal viewpoints but the problem I have with Fred is that he's slightly arrogant. For example, he challenged Michael Moore over his film Sicko, and Michael Moore conversely challenged him in regards to importing Cuban Cigars. Fred Thompson responded by smoking a Cuban Cigar. Indirectly he's supporting the Castro regime by using his dollars to purchase Cuban goods which supports their economy. I don't care for his toleration of discrimination towards gay people either. My problem with Ron Paul is that he doesn't want to fight the War on Terror abroad despite it having been brought to us on numerous occassions. I don't believe that the solution to Islamic Terrorism is to pull our forces from the middle east. I however strongly agree with him regarding disbanding the Federal Reserve, issuing Letters of Marque and Reprisal and cutting off all foreign aid.
I'll wait until Primary Election Day before I decide. Maybe I should research Duncan L. Hunter some more, not to be confused with Duncan D. Hunter his son.

Random Thought
Why don't we have an undisclosed "Day of Deportation" where American Citizens go to their local Home Depot/ OSH / Lowe's, fly a Mexican flag upside down with an American flag on top to provoke a reaction from Mexican Nationalists* (*hint, those that love Mexico and not the U.S.), and pick up as many Mexican Nationalists as can fit in their vehicle and drive them back to Mexico, free of charge of course. If you live in CA, drive to San Diego and through the border, drop them off on Revolucion Street in Tijuana and drive back across the border. Sounds simple and at the same time record it on video and post on youtube.com for other Americans' enjoyment.

"What I've said is that this is a country, which is founded on a democracy. According to our Constitution, we have a secular state. Our laws are made by the Australian Parliament. If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you. This is not the kind of country where you would feel comfortable if you were opposed to democracy, parliamentary law, independent courts and so I would say to people who don't feel comfortable with those values there might be other countries where they'd feel more comfortable with their own values or beliefs."
"But there are some clerics who have been quoted as saying they recognise two laws. They recognise Australian law and Sharia law. There's only one law in Australia, it's the Australian law. For those coming to Australia, I think we ought to be very clear about that. We expect them to recognise only one law and to observe it. Now, for those who are born in Australia, I'd make the same point. This is a country which has a Constitution. Under its Constitution, the state is secular. Under its constitution, the law is made by the parliament. Under its Constitution, it's enforced by the judiciary. These are Australian values and they're not going to change and we would expect people, when they come to Australia or if they are born in Australia, to respect those values."
"Australia expects its citizens to abide by core beliefs - democracy, the rule of law, the independent judiciary, independent liberty. You see, Tony, when you come to Australia and you go to take out Australian citizenship you either swear on oath or make an affirmation that you respect Australia's democracy and its values. That's what we ask of people that come to Australia and if they don't, then it's very clear that this is not the country - if they can't live with them - whose values they can't share. Well, there might be another country where their values can be shared."

Why I abhor Godless Leftists
Since the 60's, Americans have been subject to the whims and desires of Radical Leftists. Because of their "tolerance," all things deemed intolerable were slowly stripped away, including Prayer in Public Schools. The following is an article by K-House eNews, dated November 13, 2007, describing the 1962 decision by the Supreme Court to "prohibit the free exercise thereof (religion)."
Over the course of the last forty years there has been a radical shift in the role of the American judicial system, as a result of which our religious freedoms are being stripped away. Those who were appointed to interpret the law and secure justice for the American people have abused their power in order to manipulate public policy. That shift in principle directly hangs on one phrase: separation of church and state. A concept blatantly invented by the United States Supreme Court in order to justify their personal political and social agendas. This concept has eroded the foundation laid by the founding fathers of this nation, a foundation built on the existence an almighty and loving Creator.
First it is important to point out that the words "separation of church and state" are not found anywhere in the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or even the Declaration of Independence. That phrase comes from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association. The "wall of separation between church and state" that Jefferson referred to in his letter was clearly meant to protect religious freedom and prevent government from attempting to take away our God-given unalienable rights.
So how did the phrase "separation of church and state" become a part of our vocabulary? On June 25, 1962 in Engel v. Vitale the US Supreme Court used the "separation of church and state" argument as its basis for banning prayer in public schools. Their decision marked the turning point in the interpretation of the First Amendment. The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The amendment was intended to prevent a repeat of the Church of England. But in 1962 the US Supreme Court ignored 170 years of history, legal precedent, and the clear intent of First Amendment, by interpreting that amendment to prohibit religious activities in public settings. The 1962 ruling was the first case in Supreme Court history that did not cite any previous precedents or legal cases in making its decision.

Mexico conquered the United States???
http://www.krnv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7156726
What are Mexicans in the U.S. thinking?! This is unacceptable by Foreign Nationals. When you come to the U.S., and naturalize yourself, you better start acting like an American. The owner of that bar should be the first victim of the new Mexican-American War. We're being invaded by a Trojan Horse, only in this case, We the People are aware of this ploy and have to deal with an inept Government in resolving this issue.

Hillary Marx
"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an 'on your own' society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society." (Sen. Hillary Clinton, Remarks At Manchester School of Technology, Manchester, NH, 5/29/07)
I pray that this country does not elect this woman as President. We already have a problem with government seizures of private property in order to build businesses that will increase their tax receipts, i.e. Home Depots, Costcos, WalMarts, etc. Hillary has no problem stealing money from higher income earners to pay for her agenda and her programs. Can people not see the envy in her policies? "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable," is her mantra. If she believes in National Health Care, let her create a foundation that supports low income earners receiving supplemented health insurance plans, or free insurance at that. Stop the insane nonsense that it's everyone else's burden to take care of people that don't want to take care of themselves. Again, I'll paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, the less we do for others, the more they're forced to do for themselves. Let's erase the notion that envy is a virtue. Defeat Hillary!!!

Wimpy Republicans at it again
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=22632
"That night, in a supposedly-recorded House vote, Republicans defeated -- by 215-213 -- a measure Democrats desperately wanted to ensure that welfare benefits would continue to flow to illegal aliens. The vote was reopened to allow Members to change their votes. When the Cong. Mike McNulty struck the gavel again, the vote was a 214-214 tie. Under the rules of the House, tie votes are a win for the Democratic majority. According to a source close to the Select Committee’s investigation, “And frankly if you played the [video] tape, that’s what it looked like. On closer examination, believe it or not it’s actually worse.” House Democrats running the Select Committee are very uneasy that -- in its first day of hearings -- the investigation revealed that not only was the vote reopened improperly, but that once reopened, it was then closed early to cut off timely Republican votes in order to produce the tie."
-If the shoe were on the other foot, there would be front page headlines on NY Times, LA Times, SF Chronicle, etc. lambasting Republicans for illegal tactics, stemming the people's voice, etc. Where is the backbone of the Republican Party?! Why do they play nice with these lawless Socialist that are destroying this country by forcing their will on us?! Do Republican Lawmakers lack testicles?! I don’t understand playing nice with the enemy, perhaps this is why we won’t win the War on Terror because Republicans lack any semblance of fortitude for fighting for anything, let alone their beliefs. If Republicans can’t fight for their beliefs, then they deserve to be trammeled this upcoming election and the entire country deserves what it gets for electing these backboneless wimps.

Screw National Health Care
Republicans had six years to rule the US how they saw fit and they were HORRIBLE. We had minor tax cuts and the biggest, newest Socialist program since LBJ, called Prescription Drug Coverage for Seniors. Where was the argument from Conservatives that people are being deprived because of these programs?! Since when was envy a virtue in this country?! Old People care about themselves and only want their retirement to be easier on them because they made foolish decisions as working adults to not save enough, or to not push for better retirement benefits. I'll take care of my grandma, but the old broad down the street that exercised her "right" to abort whatever children she could have had to take care of her in her old age, screw her. She made her bed, let her sleep in it. Same thing with any one else that squandered their paychecks on non-necessities.
How much more money are we going to allow our government to steal from us in order to benefit another segment of society?! How long are we going to tolerate these insane policies of theft and coercion from a morally depraved Political Party that forces their humanist beliefs onto everyone else rather than chumming up the money to pay for it through charities and foundations? Give me my money back. Make all registered Democrats pay 50% Income Taxes to pay for their silly garbage beliefs. Let the rest of us take care of our families our own ways and make those that we take care of responsible for our charity. I can’t do anything when the family next door is ripping me off through social services, but if my brother was being supported by me, you bet he wouldn’t squander the money I give him or he would be cut off.
I’m so sick of these spineless Republicans that cower from Democrats words. Fight fire with fire and tell the Democrats what they are. Tell that explicative Hillary to shove her Socialist agenda where the sun doesn’t shine. White People left Europe for a reason, because it SUCKS. Why import the garbage ideas that we left? Go live in Europe and wait a year for an MRI or CatScan because you think they’re so great.
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." - Benjamin Franklin, On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor, November 1766

Thomas' Quotes of the Day
"A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate." - Thomas Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774
"All the States but our own are sensible that knowledge is power. " - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph C. Cabell, January 22, 1820
"All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression." - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801
"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever." - Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781
"Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, Oct 31, 1823

"Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday and St. Tuesday, will soon cease to be holidays. Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them. " - Benjamin Franklin, letter to Collinson, May 9, 1753
"The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy." - Benjamin Franklin, Emblematical Representations, Circa 1774
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

Dennis Kucinich on TV blasting America

Aid and Comfort to the Enemy that also believes the U.S. in Iraq is worth fighting against? Treason anyone? Again I call for action to have this Traitor hanged for his activities.

Dennis Kucinich should hang!
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1188392553023&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
"'I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation ... I don't want to bless that occupation with my presence,' he said in an interview in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. 'I will not do it.'"
Is this not giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Hang these trolls that go abroad and lambaste the U.S. Our enemies will take this, like they took Jane Hanoi Fonda during the Viet Nam War, and use it to rile Insurgents and Terrorists. How can America look like it has the resolve to win this war when our own Congressman is over there lambasting it. Hang Kucinich!

Bad Mortgage News means more Fed Dollars
Anyone want to guess how many more “adrenaline shots” our Economy will take before it has a non-revivable cardiac arrest?

“The delinquency rate, which tracks the number of people who are behind in their payments but have not yet entered the foreclosure process, was also up sharply during the spring, rising to 5.12 percent of all loans, up nearly three-fourths of a percentage point from the same period a year ago.
…
Another big problem is that an estimated 2 million adjustable rate mortgages are scheduled to reset this year at sharply higher interest rates, which will cause monthly payments in some cases to double or even triple, a problem that is especially severe in the market for subprime mortgages, loans offered to borrowers with weak credit histories.”

“The Federal Reserve added 31.25 billion dollars in temporary reserves to the US money markets Thursday in three different operations, the latest move to keep credit markets from drying up.
The New York Fed added 7.0 billion dollars in 14-day repurchase agreements, 16 billion in seven-day repurchase agreements and 8.25 billion in one-day repos.
The Fed has injected some 200 billion dollars into the financial system since August 9 in a bid to boost credit flows which have seized up due to problems linked to the distressed US mortgage market.”

Watch from 1:20 on. Just the last 20 minutes. If that doesn't make your blood boil, then I guess nothing will. It really needs to be viewed as a war, because that's what it is, an illegal invasion, a Trojan Horse of Mexicans and other Foreign Nationals.
Americans need to stand up for America and protect our way of life. If you hate lawlessness, then hate the lawbreakers and those that support them. Democrats and Republicans reek with corruption and an inability to fight Illegal Immigration. The USA is being destroyed because of this invasion. It truly is the Trojan Horse of the 21st Century. Wrapped in a box of cheap labor for Republicans. Wrapped in a box of future votes for Democrats. Vote them out of office and start the Political Revolution!

You too can prevent Inflation, Abolish the Federal Reserve and protect the Purchasing Power of Your Dollar!
I posted previously about abolishing the Federal Reserve. Watch the following video by the Ludwig von Mises Institute to get a better grasp of the issue:

With the recent cut in the Fed rate, the failure of the sub-prime Mortgage Industry, anyone want to speculate we're primed for October 1929 again?

Economic Policy
An analogy to ponder. If someone buys a home on a 30-year fixed mortgage, at 6.25%, when they're done paying the loan, the amount paid will be more than twice that of the amount borrowed. Simply, your $250,000 house will cost you $554,145.48. Sounds like a deal, right? What happens when you only pay the interest and none of the principal? After 30 years, you will have paid $458,906.97 and still owe the original $250,000. That's exactly what our government is doing, year after year. Not only that, they continually borrow more money, year after year. Currently we owe over $8 TRILLION. Who do we owe that money to? The Federal Reserve and Foreign Nations, and they'll gladly keep loaning it to us because we only pay the interest. Only in this case, the amount borrowed isn't $250,000, it's $8,000,000,000,000+. Only in this case, the interest paid per month at 3%, if we didn't borrow more, would be over $20 Billion, or over $657.5 Million per day.
Who here wants to continue that process? Who thinks it's a great idea to keep borrowing more money? To keep increasing the National Debt Ceiling? To never pay off the National Debt and forfeit our future to servitude to pay interest? Obviously the Democrats and Republicans think it's a great idea. Neither of the two parties have put forth a plan to eliminate the National Debt. Neither of the two parties in the last six years have "balanced" the budget. What the hell are they thinking? What the hell are Americans thinking by continuing this insane nonsense? None of us would tolerate our neighbors perpetually borrowing money from us to pay the interest on their home loan while they party on the weekends. None of us would tolerate paying their mortgage period. So why do we tolerate that from our Government Officials? Why do we think it's okay? Do we need another 1929 to slap some common sense into the American People?
Our fiscal policy must be one of conservatism. We cannot spend what we do not have and pretend it does not have consequences. We find ourselves in a position beholden to the interests of foreign nations with goals and ambitions that are contrary to our own. We must have an economic policy that promotes economic growth and stability, starting with eliminating the National Debt, followed by eliminating the Federal Reserve.

Abolishing the Foreign Aid Policy
The other day a random stranger came up to me and asked for $5 in order for him to like me. I gave him the $5 because I don't like the feeling of someone not liking me and I'm afraid of the possible outcomes if I don't give him the $5. Does that sound familiar? It should, that's our current Foreign Aid Policy. We buy "niceness."
I think this begs the question, what good is foreign aid. Not good if we consider the fact that it promotes reckless fiscal policies because foreign nations know they will be bailed out by other foreign nations. It's like having a credit card that's paid for by our parents. Do we really care what we buy with it? Of course not, especially when our dad is Bill Gates. Giving money to foreign nations is definitely not good when that money goes to the coffers of corrupt government bureaucrats, like most Asian and African nations, and to despots like the former Saddam Hussein and former Yasser Arafat. It's also not a good idea when we're trying to pay people to like us. Rather, we should recognize that people will hate us for whatever reason, especially since we're better than them. Rather than squander tax payers' monies trying to make foreign nations like us, we should allow the tax payers to invest the money into their businesses or purchase goods, both of which promote a stronger economy, and make us that much better than those that hate us.
The U.S. is projected to spend over $34.3 Billion (according to State Department budget from 2007). How much of that is actually needed to maintain foreign consulates and embassies? How much of that is aid? $1.2 Billion appears to be needed for the consulates and embassies, the rest is purely choice. Do we really need to spend $33.1 Billion on programs or other aid to make other countries like us or hate us less? How about we use that to pay off some of the Federal Reserve Debt in our efforts to abolish the Federal Reserve. We only need $8.47 Trillion more.

Silence of Free Speech
We have slowly legalized the silence of freedom of speech by enacting laws that arbitrarily dictate what speech is with and without consequence, namely hate speech laws. We have legalized the silence of freedom of speech of political candidates and their supporters by enacting laws that arbitrarily dictate when debate can occur and when it must cease under McCain-Feingold. The Bill of Rights grants Congress no such authority nor is any such law remotely Constitutional. This abrogation of our fundamental right to freedom of speech without government reprisal is the first Constitutional grievance that must be addressed by electing to power a Third Party.
With Democrats and Republicans and their track record, there is no end in sight as to how far they will take their Hate Speech Laws, McCain-Feingold Political Speech Limitations, and punishment for those that break those laws. When did Americans decide to forfeit the right to say what they want? I never voted for that. Vote Democrats and Republicans out of office and vote into power a Third Party which will restore the right to Americans to speak their mind without fear of reprisal. We can start with eliminating all Hate Speech Laws, McCain-Feingold, and castrating the FCC if not eliminating it all together. Take back America and remind Politicians when you vote them out of office that our rights cannot be abrogated.

Abolish the Federal Reserve Act
Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution states that "The Congress shall have Power To... coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin,..."
Charles Lindbergh stated, "This is the Aldrich bill in disguise…The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill…The banks have been granted the special privilege of distributing the money, and they charge as much as they wish…This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privilege class by any Government that ever existed. The system is private...There should be no legal tender other than that issued by the government…The People are the Government. Therefore the Government should, as the Constitution provides, regulate the value of money." (Congressional Record, 12/22/1913)
The Federal Reserve was created to prevent Economic Catastrophes like the Stock Market Crash of 1929, which it failed, to prevent inflation like that of the late 70's and early 80's, which it failed, to preserve the Purchasing Power of the Dollar, which if you compare the value of Dollar now versus 1913 (Creation of the Federal Reserve Act), the Dollar has lost 96% of its value.
The Federal Reserve prints money and charges the American People for its service. According to the Federal Reserve's own Balance Sheet, the American People owe the Federal Reserve $790.4 Billion.
With the current state of the Economy, looking at the Stock Market having lost 10% in one month, it's time to fix a broken system. The US National Debt is $8 Trillion and growing, with no plan of action to pay off the debt. With China threatening to liquidate $1 Trillion as a "nuclear option," having our Economic Survival threatened is not an option. Democrats under Wilson pushed the Federal Reserve, and Republicans under Bush have done nothing to balance the budget or pay off the National Debt. It's time for a new Party with new ideas to take the leadership position and change the course of the American Economy to one of prosperous growth, starting with abolishing the Federal Reserve Act and paying off the National Debt.

Illegal Immigration
There has never been a greater need for change in this country than the present time we live in. We have become a nation of squabbling nationalities in a time we should be a single nation of a united nationality. Nationality is blind to race, ethnicity, religion, sex or creed. Nationality is the country in which you are identified to be a member of. We as a single people, united, should not tolerate division amongst our people. When groups pit themselves against each other on an ideology that is based on race or ethnicity, that is dangerous for the stability of the country as a whole. We presently find ourselves in a predicament in which the majority cannot speak out against the minority in fear of backlash. When we unite as a single country, we can achieve more than we ever dreamed. Currently that is not possible.
We cannot conquer the illegal immigration issue precisely because we are not united. The dividers and obstructionist to solving illegal immigration rests solely on the shoulders of our politicians. They have given themselves over to lust for money and power. They do not believe they are accountable to the citizens they represent. They believe they know better than the majority of people that elected them to office. How can we as a nation tolerate such arrogance? How can we, as a majority of more than 80%, allow our politicians to circumvent our will by attempting to pass immigration reform that would grant legal recognition to millions of people that have come here illegally? How is that tolerable? How do we allow that? What can we do to change the status quo?
Politicians only have power when they hold office, strip them of their office, and they have no power to affect their will. The Democrats and Republicans that pushed the recent immigration bill in the Senate must be removed from power. We must vote them out of office. The solution is not to vote in new members of the current parties, the solution is to vote in members of a new party. A party that represents the will of the people. A party that isn’t part of the current establishment and isn’t beholden to political favors. We need a party that makes decisions based on values and principles, not financial contributions to their election campaigns.
We must secure our borders and we must remove those that are illegally present in our country. We are fighting a war against those that wish to harm us. How much longer must we give them an open route into our country? What type of attack will it take before we change our border policy? This is not fear mongering, it’s questioning the plausible. We cannot have security in our country when we have open borders and anyone with minimal amounts of money can get into the country.
Democrats and Republicans have both failed to solve the Illegal Immigration issue. Both have failed to put sufficient enforcement on the border to prevent more illegal immigration. Both have failed to enact laws that punish "safe harbor" cities and other government municipal districts that do not inquire about a suspect's Immigration Status.
Republicans like Bush believe Illegal Immigration is necessary because Americans won't do the work. How about Americans won't do the work because the wages are undermined? Democrats won't touch the issue because they're afraid of being labeled racist, xenophobic, bigoted, prejudiced, etc. How about the argument that being against illegal immigration isn't any of those things because it's an issue of being for lawlessness or against lawlessness? Democrats won't touch the issue because a majority of Hispanics vote Democrat and they feel they'll alienate their supporters. Democrats hope that one day those illegal aliens will vote Democrat because Democrats refused to stand up to illegal immigration, and Republicans hope that one day those illegal aliens will vote Republican because Republicans told America how much we need cheap labor. America needs a Party that stands up for Americans, not illegal aliens and their Campaign Contributions. America has the strongest Economy in the world, if we can't continue to have a strong economy without cheap labor, then how strong is our Economy? Without cheap labor, the wages of all lower and middle class Americans would increase.
The first step in ending Illegal Immigration is to cut all Federal Funding to Cities, Counties and States that "safe harbor" illegal aliens. The second step is to construct a wall from San Diego to Texas that clearly delineates the border between the US and Mexico. The third step is to create a fine of $100,000 per illegal immigrant that is employed by a company, with a second offense bumping the fine to $250,000 per illegal immigrant and a third offense constituting the arrest of all company officials for criminal misconduct. The fourth step will be a 30 day grace period to allow all illegal aliens present in the US to leave without prosecution. Once the 30 day grace period expires, illegal aliens will be arrested and deported and barred from entering the United States for a period of ten years. After 180 days of implementation, an investigation will be conducted to see what other means are necessary, if needed, to deport remaining illegal aliens.
