Property Rights
The battle to protect a citizen’s property from unlawful government seizure has, for many years, been largely fought in rural America, pitting farmers against bureaucrats intent on putting them out of business. But the Supreme Court Kelo decision, in which the nation’s highest court gave local governments the right to take any citizen’s property and hand it over to a private developer, has brought the issue of protecting property rights to every doorstep.
Taking a family’s home, farm or business through this new expansion of eminent domain, and giving it to a private developer to build an auto mall, or shopping center, is just plain wrong. We all understand the use of eminent domain for public purposes, such as building a school or highway, but this power must never be used to rob one citizen to line the pockets of another.
American Security
I am very protective of our constitutional rights as American citizens, but I find it outrageous to suggest that foreign terrorists deserve the same rights as the American citizens they seek to destroy.
Immigration
Few would argue that every nation has a right to secure its own borders. That must be our first priority, not only to enforce our immigration laws, but to protect American security.
We are a nation of immigrants, but it is patently wrong to let those who break our laws cut in line ahead of those who seek to come legally.
Let us secure our borders, and then provide the opportunity for guest workers to work legally and pay taxes. I also believe those who enter the country legally, pay taxes and learn English should have the opportunity someday to earn their U.S. citizenship.
