Foreign Immigration.

SUMMARY:

Immigration has become an issue of significant concern for the past 20 years as foreign nationals continue to invade U.S. borders.  “Invade” is the proper term, because immigration implies a proper observance of immigration laws.  U.S. borders have been left, effectively, wide open with minimal effort to discourage illegal infiltration into the states.  This swell of people has placed an enormous strain on our social programs, schools, and local government.  The federal government has failed in, or neglected, its duty to protect the states from invasion, and therefore, it has become necessary and proper for the states to act on behalf of their citizenry.  The question is this, “When the federal government fails to satisfy its constitutional mandates to the states, do the states have the reserved right to exercise its own powers and authorities for its own protection?”  We believe the answer is, “ABSOLUTELY!!!”

The United States government was delegated authority to establish a “uniform Rule of Naturalization” among the several states and to “protect each of them against Invasion“.  The key term, here, is “delegate”.  When one delegates authority to another, he is designating that person to be an agent with the power to act on behalf of or for his principal.  Such is the case when one is issued a license or permit or grant to represent the interests of another.  It is not meant to be a complete transfer of power by “forfeiture”, “surrender” or “relinquishment”.  The principal always retains the Right to exercise the said power, itself, or to retract the said power from his agent, upon demand.

The people delegated certain limited powers to each, state and federal, government.  When government, as an agent for the people, violates the people’s confidence, they have the right to withdraw those powers and take such measures as appropriate to protect their interests.  This principle is secured to the people in the Declaration of Independence and most of the state constitutions.

A power delegated by the people should not be considered discretionary, rather it is a mandate upon government to fulfill.  For example, when the people delegate to the federal government to protect the states from invasion, it does not mean the federal government can freely neglect this duty.  The government must act in accordance to the people’s demands.  If it fails to do so, then the people have the right to exercise such measures appropriate under the circumstances.  Any act by government to prevent the people from acting accordingly would be unconstitutional and an assault against the people so doing.

Immigration is the act of people migrating to the U.S. through the proper procedures regulated by law to ensure certain qualifications and protections are satisfied to protect the American people from health and safety risks, from adverse effects on our economy and job markets, and from infiltration of our governmental institutions.  The problems associated with unregulated migration of foreign nationals into the United States cannot be overemphasized.

Each of the several states has a duty to protect its citizenry from numerous hazards.  Invasion is only one hazard the states have a duty to protect against.  The Right of the American people to migrate among the several states cannot be applied, with the same protections, to foreign nationals who are within our borders, illegally.  Measures must be taken to ensure that the American people are secure from such threats.

I feel it appropriate to explain that taking such measures does not constitute an act of hatred, prejudice, oppression, or violation against those who cross our borders and proceed to infiltrate our society without proper authority.  Many of said foreign nationals are good people who wish only to find better opportunity to support themselves and their families.  But, limiting illegal migration is proper and necessary to protect those within our own society from its adverse effects.
