General
If
elected, I would oppose the Real ID Act, and the declaration of
English as the national language.
Birthright
Citizenship
Persons
born in states are subject to their jurisdiction, and - as such - are
automatically eligible to become citizens of their state.
I
oppose the 14th amendment because neither the states nor the federal
government have the authority to compel people to become citizens,
nor to submit to their statutes.
Illegal
immigrants should only be prosecuted for committing crimes if those
crimes are against persons and their property, and only if such
victims press charges against them (as per corpus delicti).
Welfare
for Illegal Immigrants
I
understand the perceived need for the federal DREAM Act (due to the
international jurisdiction which would would appear to apply).
However,
I oppose Obama's use of an executive order to make it law.
I
would prefer that either welfare to illegal immigrants be granted on
a state-by-state basis, or that private citizens institute
independent enterprises in order to provide such benefits to
illegals.
Immigration
as Part of Other Social Issues
I
would vote to abolish the federal minimum wage and to support the 2nd
amendment.
I
would also vote to end the federal war on drugs, and cease to send
federal money to the law enforcement agencies of Mexico and of
Central America for the purposes of supporting our war on drugs.
I believe that this would make the assessment of the credibility of
threats (in terms of "taking American jobs" and issues
pertaining to the hiring of illegal immigrants, border violence, and
the trafficking of prohibited drugs) which may be posed by illegal
immigrants less likely to be clouded by such issues.
