Thread: Mark Everson, Who Oversaw Reagan’s Amnesty, To Run For President

Mark Everson, who served as commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service under President George W. Bush and oversaw President Ronald Reagan’s amnesty to illegal immigrants in the 1980s, plans to mount a long-shot bid for president in 2016, he said in a statement on Thursday.

“To get America back on the right track will require shared sacrifice and difficult choices which our politicians won’t entertain,” Everson said. “I’m going to start a candid, long overdue, conversation with the American people about our problems and how to tackle them.”

A spokesman for Everson, Harold Morgan, told The Daily Caller he plans to run as Republican.

Everson’s work in Republican presidential administrations dates back to the Reagan era, when Everson was deputy commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and helped implement Reagan’s law that granted amnesty to certain illegal immigrants.

In his “Letter to America” describing six issues he will emphasize in a campaign, Everson called for “reinforcing the American tradition of assimilation through comprehensive immigration reform.”

Everson also called for “fundamental tax reform,” “confronting the lawlessness of the big banks,” “re-establishing the draft in order to have a shared sense of national service,” “real, balanced reforms to our entitlement programs,” “reinforcing the American tradition of assimilation through comprehensive immigration reform” and “serving only a single term to keep re-election politics out of presidential decision-making.”

“I will execute the laws as written, not as I might wish them to be,” Everson said. “I will serve only a single term in office and not allow re-election politics to compromise Oval Office decision-making.”

Hello, Sir, we aren't interested in "shared sacrifice" or "difficult choices". We're interested in passing the FairTax not attacking our financial institutions. We're interested in stopping illegal immigration and deporting illegal aliens forever, and curtailing new immigration even a Moratorium for at least 10 years until all Americans are back to work and able to sustain themselves on their wages, benefits and other earnings without welfare and public assistance. We're interested in states and local law enforcement enforcing US immigration law utilizing their massive numbers of personnel and resources and because they know who the lawbreakers are, where they are and what they're doing, not "comprehensive immigration reform."

You are not the "dark horse" we seek. Sorry!

You certainly aren't speaking for me or the majority of Americans on the so-called fair tax. Furthermore, I have absolutely no problem going after financial institutions that don't play by the rules.

No political office for any who worked in Reagan's or G.W. Bush's administration, Ant Everson worked in both and still thinks he will get another?? More like he is looking for another plush appointment or VP offer, IMO.

I agree 100%.

I'm speaking for me and all the other FairTax supporters who are electing FairTax supporters to the US Congress, hope to win more seats in the Senate in 2016 and have a FairTax President to go with it.

I have no problem going after any business that doesn't play by the rules. Big banks aren't the only ones not playing by the rules so there's no legitimate reason to single them out for political purposes.
