Our nation loves immigrants and we accept them with open arms. Americans generally do not have a problem with immigrants…..as long as they are here legally.This is my biggest single issue. The second biggest issue is RACISM. I am offended that anyone patriotic and waving an American flag is publicly lumped in with racist groups and branded as such. Patriotism is colorblind. Patriotism is on the inside.
I was raised in a very patriotic home. I was taught to respect and take care of the American flag and to VALUE the blessing of being born in this great nation. I have relatives & ancestors that have served in nearly every conflict & war beginning with the Revolution. My father served in WWII aboard the U.S.S. Donaldson, a destroyer escort.
The problem I have now is that of immigrants coming into this nation illegally, then EXPECTING our nation to grant them immediate citizenship with no strings attached. They have drained our education system and closed many hospitals. They expect our nation to change the language to meet their needs because they do not wish to assimilate or learn our language. They risk the lives of women & unborn babies to cross the border immediately before labor begins so they can birth “anchor babies” in the United States. They carry the Mexican flag, put it outside their home, and expect us to “honor their heritage” without any respect for our laws. They are getting more aggressive; they come from a society of aggression, hositility, and lawlessness; And they bring much of that violence to our nation. We are seriously paying the price in the border states. They have no respect for our heritage, our history, society, or our way of life….but we must respect theirs! And in this climate of political correctness, when Nancy Pelosi will address a group of illegal immigrants and tell them what heroes they are…..I understand where they get the entitlement mentality. Tolerance is the politically correct keyword that will provide amnesty to a great many wrongs.
When folks say I have no compassion for the children, it’s just not true. Every parent must make decisions all day every day that will affect their children. When someone enters this country illegally, not only are they setting bad examples (lawlessness) for their children, but they are putting their children at risk of being sent back. That is the parents fault, not my fault and not my nation’s responsibility. When someone in America does something to endanger their children, the children can be taken away by social services. That law should apply to everyone! If a mother & father rob a bank & end up in prison, do you think the child suffers the consequences? Of course they do. It’s never FAIR, but life isn’t fair. The parents must be held responsible, not legal U.S. citizens carrying the burden of financial responsibility.
Due to the “political correct” agenda our government has adopted recently and media support, everyone is literally afraid to point out any problem. They certainly don’t want the mainstream media using them as an example of ‘hate’.
Our nation is in trouble. Illegal immigration has caused a great many of our problems. But nobody has the backbone to say it out loud and take care of the problem as our forefathers would have. Our safety has been compromised and our financial well-being is on the verge of collapse, mostly as a direct result of illegal immigration. What has not been caused by illegal immigration has not been helped by the government stepping into the private industry and trying to over-regulate, again based on “political correctness”.
Political correctness has now crossed the line of common sense. Everything is to be tolerated, whether right or wrong. Lawsuits of trivial matters clog our judicial system and civil rights are now used as a means of obtaining something.
The statue of liberty attests to our nations’ willingness to accept immigrants, but we MUST have laws regarding entry and citizenship.
As a Tea Party Patriot, my mission is just to get our country back one that is respected and admired for our courage, spirit, and love of country. I would like to see every American with a copy of the constitution in their hands (in English) and understand it. We are a land of many rights & privileges….but we should know the difference. I am NOT racist and I am NOT anti-immigration. We are a nation of laws and they must be honored and enforced beginning with citizenship.
I have a very simple, but common sense approach to getting our nation back in order.
1. Deport illegal immigrants and require LEGAL entry only.
• This will free up a lot of jobs immediately and will prove once and for all that there are NOT jobs that legal Americans won’t do. That is one of the arguments supporting illegal immigration. The issue isn’t that Americans won’t do the jobs, they just won’t do the jobs at slave labor rates. That’s right, compare to sweat shops and child labor in other nations. It’s happening right here on our own soil.
2. Serious penalties for ANYONE or any COMPANY that hires or allows habitation of
any illegal immigrant.
• If there are severe financial consequences for harboring & hiring, it will end
3. Secure our borders
• Build a fence & protect it. It can be funded with some of the pork that will be eliminated on number 4. There are many Americans that would volunteer to work on the project!
4. No government money on non-essential services
• Arts and other non-essentials will be supported by the community if they are wanted & needed. All money allotted to projects should be put before the public for scrutiny. We must stop all these “special projects” to buy votes and appease special interests (including unions).
5. No government money outside our country
• Stop supporting any government industry outside the U.S.
• Only in case of natural disaster would we assist other countries. If our private industry, churches, and charitable foundations wish to assist other nations, then that will allow citizens more control of where their money goes.
6. Serious tax advantages for every job kept in U.S. instead of outsourcing
• Substantial advantages.
7. Serious import regulations
• Make sure everything coming into the country is safe & legal. There are more regulations for U.S. made than imported. Absolutely outrageous.
• Penalties for companies that import things that could be made in the U.S.
• Ridiculous sanctions to protect tiny fish over the foodsources for humans must stop. If farmers need water for crops, the government should not be able to stop their water supply. Human life must be highest priority. Protection of wildlife must be done WITHIN COMMON SENSE REASON. Political correctness seems to have taken the place of common sense.
8. Stop over-regulating every aspect of life
• There is a new CPSIA law on the books that makes “Little Golden Books” produced earlier than the early 1970s illegal. That’s right. Illegal. According to research, if my child eats several of these books, she could get sick. WHAT? Where is the common sense? And would you like to know the REAL reason behind this law? Indoctrination of our children. Most books published after their time line of safety have been “politically correct”. Here we are with this political correctness.
9. Encourage self-responsibility
• Stop babysitting citizens
• Our government is now telling private industry what foods they can prepare. What kinds of grease they can use to prepare foods. How much salt they may include in prepared foods in restaurants as well as in boxes in the store. What they (limited number of individuals imposing their will on the entire nation) deem healthy is what they want to be law of the land. Like Salt? They want to regulate usage. Are you ready for food vouchers (like during WWII) so you can only obtain a certain amount of salt, ice cream, soda (like Pepsi or Coke), or chocolate per family? It’s coming unless we get control of our government. People that choose to eat too much will gain weight. But we shouldn’t reward them with “handicapped” tags so they can enjoy parking close to the building because of their choices to eat that much. Government interference WILL ALWAYS cause laziness, carelessness, and feelings of entitlement instead of encouraging people to take care of themselves and their families.
• Stop rewarding baby production by providing government assistance when one reproduces without financial means to support. If it happens once, okay. But to continue to reproduce with no intention of ever supporting is irresponsible and our government cannot continue to support it. That’s what social & charity organizations are for.
10. Encourage supporting U.S. made
• If they want to spend propaganda money, it should be spent encouraging folks to buy U.S. made products & services
11. Let free enterprise & capitalism work
• Have you ever heard the saying “everyone can be replaced”? Well, it’s true. And in America, if a company is fiscally irresponsible, they should fail. However, it cannot be a direct result of government over-regulation. For example, I remember when the government started telling banks they MUST lower standards for loaning money for homes. Loan money to folks that don’t qualify. It put banks in a terrible position because they now had to loan money to folks they KNEW wouldn’t pay it back and there would be too many foreclosures….causing banks to lose a great deal of money. But the government required it. They wanted more minorities in homes……nice homes that they couldn’t really afford……and they wanted the banks to support it. Then, the government realized they would have to go by the same rules. Now, years later, financial crisis. Why? Because the government stepped in to private industry and forced them to do something they KNEW was not good. Not good for business and not good for the people that would end up in foreclosure. There is no single company that can cause a collapse of the U.S. economy. It might sting a little, but unless we have a vested interest (like government take-overs), it will not collapse our country.
