From the Constitution Party’s News at a Glance:
Both President Obama and Governor Romney have no solution to illegal immigration. In fact the policies of both will encourage the continuation of the illegal invasion into our country. Obama’s temporary amnesty and work permits for illegals and Romney’s statement that “the status of young people… should be solved on a long-term basis so they know what their future would be in this country” will lead more of those waiting at the border to enter in expectation of a future amnesty.
Goode said, “Unlike Romney, if I am elected President, I will promptly rescind the Obama amnesty order. Amnesty in any form only encourages more illegal entry into the United States.”
A way to reduce unemployment, reduce the deficit, and provide more jobs for U.S. citizens is to end illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration. In recent years about 1.2 million green cards have been issued annually and over 60% go to foreigners who come to the United States and take jobs from American citizens. I have proposed a moratorium (with a few minor exceptions) on issuing green cards until our unemployment rate is under 5 percent. America has one of the most liberal immigration policies in the world and it is time for the citizens of this country to be at the head of the line for jobs. We also need to totally end diversity visas (50,000 per year), reduce chain migration, and dramatically reduce asylees and refugees and their costs to the U.S. taxpayer.
