Arizona has come under assault by countless numbers of illegal immigrants because of one simple reason- the Federal government has refused to enforce the laws already on the books. Much of the area south on Interstate 10 is under attack including Tucson by illegals trafficking in narcotics and marijuana. Murders are at an all time high and attacks on law enforcement officers is commonplace throughout the region.

Arizona shares a common southern border with Mexico and the area south of there is a hotbed of gangs, thugs, and all out warfare of those attempting to control the illegal entrance routes into the U.S. The border fence is almost non-existent along that border and construction has been halted due to numerous reasons, including lack of funding by Congress to complete the mission originally started under President Bush.

Politically, the illegals in the country are a hotbed of dispute as to what to do with them. Democrats are going to tackle the issue, but with ONE goal in mind- increasing their voting block by nearly 20 million people. Amnesty is what they are going to propose for these illegals and Republican opposition is no doubt going to happen. Which ever “Party” can deliver the best bill for allowing illegals to stay in this nation will be the ones who has the most to gain in terms of voters.

Either way, the American people are sick of the “politics” of what to do with illegals and want to see simple enforcement of the laws before they “trust” the politicos with an “amnesty bill” for illegals already here.

Americans are not stupid either. Most of the illegals here are low-wage, semi to unskilled labor, and offer little in terms of “tax paying” capability. It is estimated that as a group, granting amnesty would only add considerably in Federal spending for already out of control entitlement programs. Many are receiving several billion Federal dollars already with the “anchor baby” rules we have had wrongly interpreted by activist courts. Programs like Medicaid, WIC, SCHIPS, and TANF are already filled with illegals at taxpayer expense. Who knows the countless dollars being spent in education and housing for illegals.

As was shown in 2007, Americans have no taste for an amnesty program or a “path to citizenship” for illegal aliens. The outcries of “fairness” toward illegals is sickening to many as well. America is NOT a nation of “fairness”, but one of a Rule of Law. The law is plain- if you are here illegally, you have broken the law. It doesn’t matter than you have children born here, family here, a job here, or for whatever reason you are here- YOU broke the law by coming into this nation without following the proper channels to get here.

The solution is without question, a very simple one and the type of “Immigration Reform” the American people will accept is as follows:

• Enforce existing laws regarding immigration. If you are here illegally, you are deported- PERIOD. That is what the law calls for now, so enforce it. (This is what Arizona seeks to do within their State borders)
• Complete the wall on our southern border. Unless the influx of illegals is halted at every point, the problem is only going to be harder to solve.
• Enforce the laws for employers who knowingly and willingly hire illegals. E-verify MUST be used before ANY person is hired to determine their legal status for employment. Increase the penalties for any employer who fails to use E-verify before hiring anyone.
• Increase penalties for any person who knowingly provides forged paperwork to anyone entering this country illegally. Increase penalties for anyone in possession of such documents.
• Eliminate the “anchor baby” provisions with laws requiring the parents to be legal U.S. citizens before their children born here can automatically be citizens. Redefine the term “natural born citizen” to mean a child in which BOTH parents are American citizens.
• Eliminate all expenditures of Federal money to any person who is NOT a U.S. citizen on any program funded partially or totally by taxpayers dollars.
• Define that illegals have no “rights” under the U.S. Constitution, other than the basic human right of being treated humanely when caught, access to the courts only for deportation or criminal proceedings, and that only United States citizens are allowed full protection of the law under the Constitution of our country.
• Streamline the process for those here LEGALLY to obtain American citizenship.
• Create new tracking methods and reporting requirements for those here on Visa’s or other entry documents that were obtained legally. Those who overstay their Visa’s will be deported and no longer be permitted to re-enter this country ever.
• Define English as the official language of the United States and that any person wishing to obtain citizenship be required to learn English.

These are Immigration Reforms ALL Americans can accept and wish that Congress would take a strong stand to ensure passage. LEGAL immigration is the backbone of our nation and has been for hundreds of years. We are all, basically, the result of immigration and to discount our rights as citizens and to confer those rights to someone that did not follow proper channels to get here is unacceptable to us.

It is time to elect those who will not engage in the POLITICAL motivations on Immigration Reform, but will do as the people of this nation desire. It is time to elect Mike Yost- the only candidate who will be “Taking YOUR Voice to D.C.”

With our National Debt continuing to rise to nearly $14 TRILLION dollars, this Congress and Administration still haven’t seen the reality about to hit this nation. We ARE the largest debtor nation in the world and the divesting of American Debt by other nations should be sounding a resounding alarm, but hasn’t for this group in Washington.

Greece and Portugal are on the brink of financial collapse for one simple reason- their governments, in an effort to continue their massive entitlement programs, have reached the point where no one wants their debt instruments. Countries like Germany are going to either prop up their debt with loans or they face complete bankruptcy.

Great Britain is also facing the same possibility unless they too, get a handle on their deficits and resulting debt. Even the head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has warned repeatedly about the necessity to get control of the debt or face the same issues in Spain, Portugal, and Greece:

Speaking to the annual conference of the Institute of Directors about the need to deal with the record debt, he said: “If anyone doubts the dangers that face our country if we do not, they should look at what is happening today in Greece and in Portugal.”

Sooner or later, the inevitable will happen as long as this nation continues this spending spree. Our debt instruments, Bonds and Treasury Bills, will NO LONGER be wanted at the current interest rates they are being bid to yield. Eventually, our Bonds will also be downgraded simply because the creditor nations and individuals will DEMAND higher rates and unless was can pay that interest to service that debt, it collapses as well.

It is imperative that Congress ends the deficit spending, reforms ALL entitlements, and returns to the Constitutional powers that are specifically enumerated in that document. Once we look beyond our own financial issues and look at the history behind every 20th Century war, we can understand we are at a crossroads- we either sacrifice today and change the course we are headed upon, or face the fact that sooner or later, we could be in another major world wide conflict.

Not only is our debt a major national security issue, it is abject failure on the part of our elected officials to end this cycle of deficit spending that is NOT reviving our economy, but placing our nation into the abyss of failure yet to come.

In a moment of “I told you so”, the reality of ObamaCare is already showing the true fallout from this legislation:

More American Jobs Lost.

Needless to say, Rep. Corrine Brown’s claim of “People need health care” was nothing more than cover for the sham and scam this legislation truly is. AT&T, Caterpillar, John Deere, and countless others are announcing millions/billions of dollars of new taxes and the prospect of countless millions of workers losing their jobs over the need to trim back payrolls to avoid the taxes and reduce the losses under ObamaCare. Even the Medical Equipment manufacturers are looking to take their factories overseas and the Chinese will once again be the victors of ObamaCare as more Americans lose their jobs.

So where is the Health Care Rep. Brown promised? It is non-existent as most things Rep. Brown has promised to the people of this District. Those benefits of this bill have a four year wait to even begin to happen. The taxes and fees begin immediately.

But the simple fact is, if you have no job and no prospects for a job, health care is the farthest thing from ones mind. To most people, keeping a roof over their heads, food on the table, and the utilities turned on have far more importance when you are no longer employed.

The other day, I met a man who had been out of work for nearly 18 months as a construction worker. He would spend the early morning waiting at the day-labor pool hoping for a job to come along that needed his particular talent. That day, it didn’t happen so he visited the local Plasma Center to donate plasma, receive a small sum of cash that he was using to eat with. His day consisted of trying to find work, having enough money to most likely eat his only meal (breakfast, because it is the cheapest meal of the day), and to sleep in his truck at night.He was angry and rightfully so. He only wanted a JOB. The rest he could handle once the JOB was in place. THAT is the American Spirit Rep. Brown doesn’t understand.

To Rep. Brown, this is just too bad. No, she would rather tell us how we need health care and NOT spend time understanding the needs of the people who live and raise their families in the District. I doubt health care has much meaning to this unemployed construction worker, but having a full time job that allows him to put a roof over his head and food in his stomach would mean far more that a health insurance policy.

My question for Rep. Corrine Brown is simple- Will the IRS agents visit him simply because he didn’t purchase health care and he is forced to pay the fines?

I think Rep. Brown is so out of touch it really doesn’t matter to her.  She has promised the people of this District the MOON, and can’t even deliver a MOON PIE.

It is time the people of this District have real Representation that understands the needs of this District and the people who live here. I bring the plan to create the JOBS people really want, OPPORTUNITY people want their children and grandchildren to have, and the FREEDOM from an over-reaching government that is destroying the very basic foundation of America.

It is time for Liberty and Freedom to work once again as our Founders envisioned and end this corrupt, Big Money Special Interest influence on Washington to give our nation back to WE THE PEOPLE with common sense, Conservative government.

I want to be the one who is “Taking YOUR voice to D.C.” in 2010. Please contribute to the campaign to make that possible and keep the momentum growing for a Victory for the American People in 2010.
