Illegal Immigration! Stop it Now!

From the L.A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County).

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. If they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstrate by the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country? We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.

Environmentalists, Weather, What is Going On?

A common theme lately is that Global Warming and Weather patterns are changing and the culprit, according to the liberals, is man. That's right, you and me. The problem with that is quite simple. We have not been tracking weather patterns and conditions long enough to have ANY kind of idea of what is going on. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there couldn't be problems. My issue is that all over the T.V. are so-called experts stating that greenhouse gases and other pollutions are causing our weather conditions to get worst, the polar ice caps are melting, animals are dying, Earth is dying, etc. etc. etc. Remember the Ozone Layer? That was going bye-bye as well. Now we have learned that ozone replenishes itself. How is that? Very simple: Earth regenerates.

Unlike a lot of conservatives I do believe that we should examine our pollution and the things we put into the environment, but I have real issues with environmentalists and scientists who do not have concrete proof state that we are in trouble. I think a lot more study is necessary.

Teens Getting High on Legal Drugs?

On CNN.com today there is a report that Teenagers in America are getting high on legal drugs. I also saw a brief story about this on the news as well. What is going on? While numbers for illegal drugs and underage drinking was down over the counter meds were on the rise. Maybe parents aren't giving their kids unlimited supplies of money anymore so they have resorted to cough syrup? Either way, we need to educate are kids more on the problems of abusing any kind of drug.

End Legislating from the Bench!

Judges are supposed to interpret the law. Yet, for whatever reason, we are now allowing Judges to press their opinions onto America with no recourse. Maybe it is time to start making judges accountable for their actions. Before the judicial branch of our government becomes a secondary legislative we must wrangle in these judges. If a judge is shown to be legislating from the bench then impeachment proceedings can occur. It is not hard to deliniate between interpretation and legislating. The liberal agenda is getting more and more of a foothold because of judges. Stop the insanity now.

Article III states that "The Judges, both of the Supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior," and it is not "good behavior" to hand down rulings based on personal social views rather than the Constitution's words.

Taking Back America! Item-Line Veto.

Again, we focus on topics that are not new to Americans, but for whatever reason the Republican party has abandoned its principles. You may recall with the Contract with America an item line veto that allows the President to cross out amendments of bills instead of vetoing the entire legislation.
This would allow earmarks, special interest projects, and add ons to bills that have nothing to do with the original bill being proposed. Why is this not a good idea I ask our government? Why has Congress not adopted this idea? What would be holding them back? Liberals and Conservatives alike should easily see how this concept would be a great idea in wrangling spending and special interests. Write your Senator and Congressman today!

This whole topic is one that will never make sense to me. How a line-item veto is unconstitutional is beyond me. How is adding a million amendments that have nothing to do with the original bill constitutional? Its not!

Set Term Limits Now!

Progress for taking back America!

This idea was proposed by the Contract with America back in 1994. The idea of term limits makes running for politics a short civil service and not a career. Why does this not make sense to Americans? Think about it for a minute. If we would only allow people who run for public office a set amount of time maybe they would work harder to get things accomplished sooner. You may see me use Ted Kennedy as an example a lot, but he is a poster boy for term limits. What does Kennedy do for America? Nothing. He is useless. Politics should not be a lifelong career unless you run for many different offices. The problem is we are looking at Senators and Congressman who have been in power for decades. A fresh prospective is vital for running government. We have entrenched corruption and special interests because of career politicians. We must end this now.

My proposal is simple. 4 terms for congress, 2 terms for senate. There is no room for debate. Term limits must be established.
