Legal Immigration: A State of Emergency
The unchecked ebbs and flows of immigrants entering into our nation represent not just a failure of policy, but a threat to our social fabric and national security. As conservatives, we value the rule of law and support a structured, orderly immigration system that allows newcomers to contribute positively to our society and economy.
Flawed Integration Process: A Breeding Ground for Disorder
At present, our flawed integration process is a breeding ground for disorder. Would-be immigrants sidestep the current legal pathways simply because they are too arduous, time-consuming, and overly bureaucratic. This leads to the rise of illegal immigration, thereby disregarding our nation’s laws and values from the outset.
The Foundational Principle: Rule of Law
The principle of rule of law, a foundation upon which our great nation was built, requires us to respect and obey our laws, both individually and collectively, including our immigration laws. Therefore, let us demand a stringent, merit-based immigration system that prioritizes SKILLED immigrants who will positively contribute to our society and economy.
Enhancing the Legal Immigration System: A Conservative Stance
A conservative stance on immigration reform seeks not to shut our borders completely, but to enhance the legal immigration system. In essence, to welcome those willing and able to assimilate into the unique culture and values that make the United States exceptional. We MUST also implement robust mechanisms to vet immigrants based on national security, economic, and societal perspectives.
- Demand Assimilation: Immigrants must pledge allegiance to our flag, language, and history. Promoting assimilation is the surest way to maintain national unity, pride, and loyalty.
- Merit-Based Immigration: Prioritize aspiring immigrants based on their skills and abilities to contribute to America. A merit-based system ensures that we admit individuals most capable of succeeding in our society.
- Vetting for Security: We must not compromise our national security under the guise of compassion. Conducting stringent background checks on prospective immigrants should be an indelible part of any serious immigration policy.
The Promise of Prosperity & Security
Employing stringent and judicious immigration reform will not only ensure our national security but also bring us the promise of prosperity. Directed rightly, it can revamp our economy, foster innovation, and create new job opportunities. The choice is clear: uphold the rule of law and welcome those willing and capable of enriching our society, or watch our nation descent into chaos under the weight of an unchecked immigration chaos.
Fear can be a tool if used responsibly. America is a beacon of hope and freedom, but these qualities must not be mistaken for weakness. It is our duty to HOLD the line, and adopt responsible immigration reform that safeguards our future—the future of America.
