Short Answer
Has your campaign addressed the topic of illegal immigration in speeches, commercials, ads, or campaign materials? What are those messages? (Please provide sources or examples)
We are a nation of immigrants, closing the borders would endanger America to a path of stagnation; However, handing out taxpayer money to support some one just because they showed up – no. Let them earn their way like every one else and Learn the English language.
I do want to know if immigrants are one of the many masses yearning to be free willing and able to earn their way or if they are terrorist who want to slip in and do Americans harm.
What do you feel your opponent’s stance on illegal immigration or immigration reform is or would be?
My candidate is too much of a self interested coward to show up to a single debate since he was elected in 1996. I could not tell you.
Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?
Not yet – I am a person dedicated to the freedom of all people, starting with Americans.
If America stayed the course of respecting the rights of her citizens and not meddling in the internal affairs of other countries we would be far more prosperous and the world would be a far safer place.
I want America to re-light the beacon of freedom and liberty for all.
Would you openly accept an endorsement and or contribution from ALIPAC?
Yes. I would be honored to receive an endorsement.
A Just government respects the rights of all people equally and grants special favor to none.
