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:
a. 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.
b. 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 Section 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.
10. All federal and state aid should be denied to anyone who cannot prove they are a legal citizen of the United States of America. There should be no subsidy of welfare, medical care, education, food stamps, social security, or other social services benefits for anyone who is not an American citizen.
11. Any business that knowingly hires a worker who is in the country illegally will have its business license suspended. For a second offense, the business' license could be revoked. The legal employment status of every public employee should be verified.
12. Legislation that would prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining driver’s licenses and tough new penalties for anyone who tries to help them get one.
