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.”

Careful analysis of the attempted bombing of Northwest flight 253 shows that this Administration has without a doubt, no clue what it is doing to protect American citizens from further terrorists attacks. Statements by Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano indicates that as long as no one got hurt, nothing is that imperative to “fix”. Changes to security policy are nothing more than “window dressing” to attempt to cover their mistakes.

The additional “security measures” that have been implemented are targeting the wrong people. Seldom are you going to find a terrorist that is a 78 year old grandmother or a 45 year old man traveling on business. Nor is a family of 4 going to Grandma’s house for the holidays likely suspects to attempt an attack on an airplane. Yet, we see the implementation of “no books on your lap” or “no standing in the last hour” of your flight. Longer security scans and longer wait times are simply NOT going to stop terrorist attacks.

What WILL stop them is making a realistic determination of the profile of what type of person has attempted a terrorist attack and subjecting them to further screening. Putting the American traveler through the wringer to board an airplane will NOT stop an attack. Preventing those who fit the profile of  a suspected or possible terrorist  from boarding an airplane will.

We are appearing to be heading to a 9/10/2001 mentality from our government security departments. Instead of calling it what it is- a TERRORIST ATTACK- it is being viewed as a violation of law. This administration is fearful of denying a foreigner his “civil rights” to the point of subjecting American citizens to disgraceful and intimidating search and seizure of property and privacy. But allow someone from a foreign country to attempt to board a plane and you get the “go ahead sir/madam” for fear of legal actions by the one needing further inspection.

American citizens are the ONLY persons that I feel have any “rights” protected under the Constitution. I have yet to read in that document where we extend those rights to anyone in this nation who is NOT a citizen. Every American has the right to demand our government take measures to prevent those who would do us harm from even entering this nation. Yet, time and time again, there seems to be a mentality that no longer protects OUR citizens, but bends over backwards to extend even greater rights to violators who are not citizens. This is reflected in not only our airline security measures, but in our educational institutions, our illegal immigrant policies, and any number of government “benefits” extended to non-citizens.

Mike believes that it is time to stop targeting American citizens with increased security measures and instead, start targeting those who are the actual terrorists. The “anti-profiling” measures being adopted by this administration is only going to ultimately lead to another widespread terror attack. It is time to take measures to stop those who fit the profile of a terrorist and end the denial of our own citizens the right to travel freely and without measures being instigated by DHS that will do absolutely nothing to prevent a terrorist attack.

Mike further calls for the resignation letter from DHS head Janet Napolitano. Her remarks that “the system worked” and her previous releases of reports targeting “domestic terrorists” as someone with certain “bumper stickers” only indicates that she is out of touch with the realities of terrorism and who the real terrorists are. Her lack of willingness to seal our borders from illegal entry are also indications that the real security measures needed are not being addressed properly by her DHS policy.

Mike believes that it is also time for Congress to make provisions that will allow our various agencies to once again define and target those persons entering our country who seek to do us harm. Without the proper legal protections to “profile” suspected terrorists, then further attempts by groups like the ACLU will continue to attempt to secure “rights”  for those seeking to kill Americans. Mike believes that it is time for Congress to address that rights are not extended to those committing terrorist attacks and who are not American citizens.

If you believe as Mike does, and are tired of American citizens being the ones suffering from this Administrations botched security measures, then join him and bring real leadership to this District. It is time for leadership in National Security and time to end the overbearing regulations on our own citizens that will do nothing to protect us. It is time to elect leaders and not those fearful of making the tough decisions. Volunteer, donate, and join our efforts.

If it wasn’t so absurd, one could call it nonsensical. But one writer seems to think that it is something Rep. Corrine Brown should consider.

From blogger and Conservative writer Yosim Postelnik we garnered this gem of wisdom regarding Ms. Brown dropping out of the U.S. Senate race:

“Still, one cannot help but wonder why Corrine Brown has stopped there. Running for US House and Senate simultaneously allowed her to skirt campaign contribution limits. But a run for the presidency would open up new doors altogether. And judging by Obama’s rating trend, at the end of the day she’d at least come in ahead of the incumbent. I can hear Hillary’s 2012 campaign cry already: “No way, no how, no crazy congresswoman.”

Earlier, we reported that Rep. Brown was “gaming the system” in order to double her donations for her U.S. House bid. Again, Mr. Postelnik states it plainly:

“Back to her Senate bid. Did the scheme work? Well, to quote the Florida Times Union’s reporter David Hunt: “The possible Senate run did build some fundraising momentum. Spokesman David Heller said Brown generated about $445,000 in the last quarter. The money was split between her congressional and Senate exploratory funds, but can all be used to finance the House campaign.”

Now, more than ever, Mike needs your help. He is running a race that Mr. Postelnik, and many other Conservatives throughout Florida, knows he can win. In his article, he even states further:

“While Brown was off ostensibly running for both House and Senate (yes, for the purposes of brevity we dare to leave out President, Queen of England and Heiress to Napoleon), someone else managed to launch a campaign to actually take care of the needs of her district. In a welcome change to the politics as usual that until now has been offered as the only choice to the people of her district, that person is proposing real solutions. And he is none other than common sense conservative Mike Yost.

Mike Yost is a man whose caliber we haven’t seen the likes of since Dick Armey. He proposes real solutions for real people. He’s a principled moral and economic conservative who also believes in common sense national security. More importantly, he’s got great ideas and is running for all of the right reasons.”

We thank Mr. Postelnik and many others for their kind words. If you to, agree, then consider what your donation can mean to Mike in his efforts to bring real leadership to this District. If you support his “3 Point Pledge”, then help him have the tools he needs to bring that message to every single person in this District. Help Mike win!
