PRESS RELEASE

The Veteran’s Party of America (VET) totally supports the efforts of the Minuteman Project.

The Veteran’s Party of America (VET) supports and applauds the efforts of the self-sacrificing citizens known as the Minuteman Project.

These few, these very few, have proven that with “effort” our nation’s immigration policies can be enforced and these continuous attacks on our nation’s borders by illegals can be minimized and indeed controlled.

The President’s and the Congress’s for the last 60 years, for political and personal gains, have not even attempted to stop the onslaught of illegals and enforce the one main issue that the federal government is charged to do – protect the sovereign borders of this nation.

Even after the attacks deep inside our nations borders on September 11, 2001, our own government refuses to enforce the immigration laws already on the books in our nation. Of course, this is for their politically correct pandering with zero concern for the safety of the United States Citizen or the huge economical impact that 11 to 15 million illegals are having on the taxpayer; who is already taxed to his or her death.

The Veterans Party of America commends the efforts of the Minuteman Project and all law-biding citizens of this nation should applaud their efforts of demonstrating to our own government that this enforcement of our laws is not impossible, given the intestinal fortitude to want to do so!

  1.  Medical care to anyone here illegally shall be limited to only that care needed to stabilize them in life threatening situations, long enough to return them to their home country.  The current practice of waving through medical problems at the border shall be discontinued – they can be a security risk, and they should be denied entry.

    2.  In order to eliminate incentives we have created for ILLEGAL immigration, American citizenship shall not be granted to children of illegal aliens, because they were able to cross our border just prior to birth, they shall be citizens of their home country.  The only benefit to be given to illegal aliens shall be legal defense for criminal matters, as we would provide to any indigent individual. 

    3.  We spend over 24 billion dollars a year on benefits to illegal aliens, that money could be put to use for our own citizens.   We need to enforce our immigration laws by giving mandatory one-year jail sentences for illegal immigrants who are caught, before they are deported.  A slap on the wrist and "Try Again" will not discourage anyone.  In addition; The illegal could be deported immediately and the sentence would be held in abeyance for  10 years during that time, the illegal would be barred for 10 years from entering any type of programs allowing aliens to enter the US for work or education.  This will create an incentive to obey the law and reward those immigrants who go by the law.  Otherwise we are sending the wrong message to all those who would immigrate here illegally.  The one year sentence should be spent doing something constructive for America, like planting trees in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Nevada.
