From Fred08:
- No Amnesty. Amnesty undermines U.S. law and policy, rewards bad behavior, and is unfair to the millions of immigrants who follow the law and are awaiting legal entry into the United States.
- Attrition through Enforcement. Adding “at least 25,000 agents” to the Border Patrol and doubling the number of ICE agents.
- Enforce Existing Federal Laws. Rejecting sanctuary cities by cutting federal discretionary funds to states and local governments that ignore existing immigration laws.
- Reduce the Jobs Incentive. Require U.S. employers to use the E-Verify system to determine if a person can legally work here.
- Bolster Border Security. Finish building the wall along our border.
- Increased Prosecution. Go after coyotes, alien gang members, and criminals.
- Rigorous Entry/Exit Tracking.
- Maximize Program Efficiency. Make it faster and easier for employers and immigrants to obey the law.
- Enhanced Reporting.
- Modernize Immigration Law/Policy. Reduce chain migration to spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens.
- English As Official Language. The plan would promote assimilation and legal immigrants’ success, and require English proficiency in order for any foreign person to be granted lawful permanent resident status.
- Freedom from Political Oppression. The U.S. would continue to welcome victims of ruthless regimes.
- Service to Country. Those lawfully serving in our armed forces would have an easier time becoming U.S. citizens.
Once again Fred takes the lead when it comes to presenting real solutions to real problems. This is a plan we can live with and a plan America can survive with. This is one of the key issues in this Presidential race and Fred is the only top tier candidate from either side that takes this stance. Compare Fred’s plan to the plans of any other Presidential candidate (assuming they actually have one).
Fred Thompson is not afraid to take on the issues. In fact, Fred Thompson is setting the agenda, and he’s not merely relying on pool data to form his opinions. The Boston Globe is reporting Giuliani and Romney’s camps are claiming they have been addressing illegal immigration for months. The column says they both side, pretty much, with McCain’s plan (give amnesty and a free lunch). These candidates have had no proposals, no outline, and no plan what so ever for the illegal alien problem.
Fred Thompson is the only true Conservative candidate in the Ronald Reagan mold.
