Chris Simcox Affirms Tough GOP Stance on Border Security
St. Paul, MN--Today Chris Simcox, President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, offered public praise for the 2008 Republican Party Platform’s tough stance on illegal immigration and its advocacy for strong border security.
The GOP Platform planks on these vital issues begin:
In an age of terrorism, drug cartels, and criminal gangs, allowing millions of unidentified persons to enter and remain in this country poses grave risks to the sovereignty of the United States and the security of its people. We simply must be able to track who is entering and leaving our country. Our determination to uphold the rule of law begins with more effective enforcement, giving our agents the tools and resources they need to protect our sovereignty, completing the border fence quickly and securing the borders, and employing complementary strategies to secure our ports of entry. Experience shows that enforcement of existing laws is effective in reducing and reversing illegal immigration.
Clearly 80% of voters agree that the next President must secure our borders. And we’re very pleased to see that the leaders of the state delegations to the GOP Convention stood firm in representing the grassroots of their party by insisting that the Platform Committee take a firm stance on this issue. In fact, the Platform reflects some of the same language we’ve used in our Minuteman Presidential Pledge on Border Security, which we publicly unveiled last week. The only question left unanswered is whether the next President of the United States will hear the collective voice of the American people and once and finally secure our borders,â€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
