Thread: Enforcement First Platform for caucus and primary

I've been involved in Nevada's caucus process and plan on proposing a republican platform on illegal immigration, titled "Enforcement First". I wrote a draft and collaborated with the Nevada Action Coalition (Las Vegas Minutemen) for the final version you'll find at the bottom. We're planning to flood the precinct caucuses with the same proposal in each precinct.

If more proposals are presented for Enforcement First than for the opposing view, our proposal wins the precinct and moves forward as the official precinct platform going to the county convention.

Same thing happens there, if we are the majority it moves on to the state convention as the official county platform, and so on.

While our immediate goal is to affect Nevada policy, I really believe we could push this as far as the national convention. Imagine if we could affect policy in all parties in every state! Since Iowa is less the three weeks away, I need this to spread quickly on a national level, asking everyone to pass it on and show up at caucuses and primaries to hand in a copy of our Enforcement First platform. Feel free to change the party name in the title if you're other than a republican.

With the majority of the country on our side, I believe we could create a new official national party platform - for republicans and possibly democrats and others.

I'm hoping you'll consider distributing it to your membership and many organization leaders across the nation.

Proposed Republican Platform on Illegal Immigration
"Enforcement First"

1. No Amnesty, direct or implied.

2. End Sanctuary Cities and States by refusing federal money, to those which aid illegal immigrants, with policies that prohibit local government officials from alerting federal authorities about possible immigration law violators, including Homeland Security, Commerce, State and Justice funding.

3. Deny discretionary Federal education grant appropriations to public universities that violate federal law by offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens without also offering identical benefits to all United States citizens, even if U.S citizen does not live in the state in which the university is located.

4. Increase Border Security:
- Double Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents handling interior enforcement, increase the Border Patrol to at least 25,000 agents, and increase detention space to incarcerate illegal aliens arrested rather than letting them go with a promise to appear later for legal proceedings.
- Build the double layer fence covering 854 miles of our southern border which has been authorized and funded.

5. Attrition through Enforcement.

6. English as the Official Language of the United States.

7. Prohibit the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) -- the federal government’s civil rights watchdog – from using taxpayer funds to finance lawsuits against businesses which require employees to speak English on the job or alternatively grant automatic immunity to any employer who requires English be spoken in the work place.

8. Allow State and local law enforcement to apprehend and detain illegal aliens. Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides the legal authority for state and local enforcement to investigate, detain, and arrest aliens on civil and criminal grounds. Any border and immigration security legislation by Congress should include provisions for strengthening and expanding programs authorized under §287(g).

9. No Birth Right Citizenship to children of illegal aliens. The fourteenth amendment grants citizenship to children of persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America. No illegal alien is subject to U.S. jurisdiction as they have no rights nor do they have allegiance to this country. They are citizens of a foreign jurisdiction and citizens of that foreign country. A child born in the U.S. A. should be a citizen if he or she is born to at least one parent who is a legal resident of the U.S.A.
