FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Protecting the rights of Citizens must be the Primary Objective of any Immigration Reform
Lemon Grove, California, May 18, 2006 The unwillingness of Democrats and Republicans to justly enforce existing immigration law has allowed the problem of illegal immigration to become nearly intractable. The members of establishment political parties have abdicated their duty and responsibility of protecting these United States from invasion by foreign powers as required by the Constitution. The American Independent Party asserts that protecting the life, liberty and property of citizens is the first and most important duty of government.
Liberalization of American immigration laws is upsetting the labor balance in our country, having an adverse effect on our economy, and exposing our people to terrorist threats. The mass importation of people with low standards of living threatens the wage structure of American workers, and frequently, the political subversion of our American institutions. Immigration now exceeds the number of new jobs which the American economy has been able to produce.
Therefore The American Independent Party recommends that:
• A moratorium be placed on all immigration to the United States, except in individual hardship cases or other individual special circumstances, until the laws can be revised to better protect American workers and taxpayers;
• United States immigration laws be re-written to limit immigration to modest quotas of immigrants. We oppose the use of immigration laws as a device to effect major alteration of the cultural composition of the nation;
• the United States discontinue all special immigration programs such as that under which refugees from various nations are being admitted to swell our welfare rolls;
• every immigrant be carefully screened to guarantee the loyalty to the United States of all persons entering this country; and careful enforcement of the naturalization laws be implemented to assure that only fully-qualified persons be granted citizenship;
• every individual, group, and/or private agency which requests the admission of an immigrant to the U.S., on whatever basis, be required to commit legally to provide housing and sustenance for such immigrant, bear full responsibility for the economic independence of the immigrant, and post appropriate bonds to seal such covenants; and that
• laws be enacted and enforced to deport illegal aliens, withhold from them all unemployment, educational, welfare, Social Security, and other governmental benefits, and penalize employers knowingly hiring illegals. We urge that all public employees, in whatever capacity, be required to cooperate and assist in the enforcement of the immigration laws.
We support the deployment of military personnel to our borders as needed to protect and preserve our country from immigrant invasion.
We oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, any new or liberalized "Guest Workers" program, and/or the extension of any law permitting the importation of foreign workers in high tech or other industries.
We support amendment of the Constitution to preclude automatic citizenship status to children born in the United States of illegal immigrant parents.
Immigrants to the United States must live under and obey our laws, just as do our citizens. Immigrants are not entitled to raise a so-called “cultural defense” when prosecuted for violation of our criminal statutes.
The American Independent Party is opposed to the employment of aliens by tax-supported agencies, believing that tax-funded employment should be reserved for American citizens in all cases where there is a qualified citizen to fill the job.
The American Independent Party has been California’s only Constitutionally-correct political party since 1967. A vote for the American Independent Party is a vote for return to true Constitutional government.

Be smart and profit. Don't be a dope and lose all - you've already lost your country; try not to lose your dignity.
Sounds to me like they are looking at the conservative Republican base.
Well, it's a sure thing that nobody else is, except for some in the House of Representatives. President Bush and the Senate have both made it clear that we should go piss up a rope.
well that is opposite of what my impression has been. Her in Los angeles, everything immigrant is blessed and wonderful. Everything citizen, esp white is evil.
As THEY to the same to our leg and tell us its raining.. RINOs appreciate the warmth though..
In 20 years the debate will no doubt be:
"Should we drop the English language entirely and adopt Spanish for all Americans, because the English language is such a divisive issue"?
Other major national debates will be:
Should we ban all talk against homosexuality from Christian pulpits?
"Should the government pay for sex changes for one of the partners in homosexual marriaqes"?
"Should cloned persons have all the rights of those persons born naturally"?
"Should we give Arizona back to Mexico like we gave Texas back to them in 2015"?
"Should we lower the age of consent for homosexual 'love' to age 14"?
"Should we grant white males Federal education benefits if they can't pay the full tuition by themselves"?
Protecting the rights of (Mexican) citizens will be the basis of any immigration reform.
Did you write this? Where's the link?
This press release is based on the AIPCA Platform http://www.aipca.org/platform.html and was approved by the State Chairman.
Yours,
Douglas
