Issues Facing Our Nation

This is the greatest nation on earth, and affords its citizen an unblocked path to greatness, should they so choose. But, our borders are flooded with illegal aliens from almost all nations on this earth, with by the far the greatest number flooding over from Mexico. The Pew Hispanic Center used Census Bureau data to estimate that the United States had 11.1 million illegal immigrants in March 2005. The center used monthly population estimates to project a current total of 11.5 million to 12 million. Some say that in reality, this true number of illegals is double.

The answer? You hear "We need comprehensive immigration reform". We already have this...it's called the law. It is illegal to enter this country without the proper documentation. If you're here illegally, you MUST be deported. We have proper channels to become a citizen in this country. What we really need to offset the costs of housing, feeding, teaching, and healing illegals, mostly from Mexico, is for Vicente Fox to send us 1 barrel of oil for every illegal in this country. That would mean 12 to 20 million barrels a month to offset the costs we incur on our great nation.

Why do I pay $4+ dollars for a gallon of gas?
It's no mystery why we pay so much for gas at the pump. Along with everything else in this great country, we import oil instead of producing some of it domestically. We don't control the supply, so we don't control the prices. We need to drill domestically. We can do this in an environmentally sound manner. Our methods of oil discovery and extraction are more advanced today than they were in the last several decades. Did you know you pay almost 60 cents in taxes for every gallon of gas? I suggest we have a stay on taxes at the pump. This would be a real stimulus package.

Is a national health care plan the answer? Absolutely not! If you've had the unfortunate circumstance of visiting your local branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles you'll understand why our government needs to stay as far away from our health as possible. Look at other countries that have national health coverage. You'll find enormous waiting periods to get treated, with most of their citizens traveling to our great nation to get the health coverage they need. We must support torte reform. Without frivolous lawsuit, malpractice insurance rates will drop, and health care costs will follow. Without excessive illegals sapping our health care system, our hospitals will stay in business, and continue to provide the best health care in the world.
