                                                          Immigration 

The Biden administration’s effort to erase our southern border was the most flagrant and recent example of how globalists and leftists in the American government have abused the American people.  Since 1965 our immigration policies have been based on the need of the Democratic Party for more voters, as well as on the intent to weaken and de-whiten American society. 

I do not share the view of some people on the political left that whiteness is the problem and that color is the solution.  I feel that the most that can fairly be said in judgment of the white community is that they are no better and no worse than any other racial group. 

American immigration policy should be based only on the needs of the American public and the merits of the immigrants.  Using the right to immigrate here as a form of charity to poorly qualified  immigrants or the businesses who employ them, or to remake American society racially and culturally, is inappropriate. 

I do not agree with the sentiments expressed in the famous Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossus.”  The open borders policies of the last several decades have done much more harm than good for American society in my opinion.  News videos of protesters carrying signs supporting Hamas after the October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel show how important it is to select immigrants based on their qualifications, including their ability to assimilate amicably with American society. 

                                                                   Trade 

Since the late 1960s, the United States economy has lost many trillions of dollars through balance of trade deficits with the rest of the world.  In 2024 alone, the amount lost was over $1 trillion.  Our country has become like a family that takes out a second mortgage on the house and runs up the balances of several credit cards to maintain a standard of living that they cannot afford.  Unlike the spendthrift family, our nation does not have the option to declare bankruptcy. 

Our only option as a country is to stop spending more than we earn.  We must stop using funny money and debt to elevate our lifestyle.  We must balance our federal budget and bring our balance of payments with the rest of the world to zero or higher. 

Many people of influence in American politics hold doctrinaire views on Free Trade.  They feel that the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930 worsened and prolonged the Great Depression.  From that unprovable assumption, they conclude that all tariffs are always bad.   

When imports started to increase rapidly in the American marketplace in the late 1960s, some of America’s punditry assured the public that our growing trade deficits were nothing to worry about, that they would balance out over time.  Six decades later, modern free traders say the same thing.  Decade after decade of hard experience have not persuaded them otherwise.   

Entire sectors of the American economy such as electronics and textiles have been virtually wiped out, with devastating consequences in what has come to be known as the rust belt.  It was never appropriate for our government to put American workers into direct competition with cheap foreign labor through free trade and open borders policies. 

The American economy has been living on deficit spending for several decades.  Vast sums of money have been exported outside the country in exchange for goods of every description.  Some of that money has come back to the US in the form of foreign investments in American assets.  The recent purchases by Chinese companies of farm and ranch land near American military bases are by no means the only examples of this.   

American trade policy should be built around the long-term best interests of the broad American public, not on the aspirations of globalists, leftists, or other un-American ideologues.  It is not in our long-term best interests to have our country bought out from under us by foreign investors.  It is especially inappropriate to allow Chinese companies to purchase American companies and plunder them for their trade secrets.   

It has always been inappropriate for the United States to trade with communist China, giving them our money, trade secrets, jobs and manufacturing capacity.  Red China does not have a legitimate government.  It is a brutal communist dictatorship bent on world domination.  We should not help them economically or technologically. 

If for whatever perverse reasons we are determined to export our money, jobs, manufacturing capacity, and trade secrets, we should at least send them to countries that do not threaten us militarily, as communist China does.  What our federal government has done regarding trade with Red China is inexcusable. We should reverse course immediately. 

End the IRS 

Some people on the left of the political spectrum feel that the best way for the federal government to raise revenue is to tax the rich.  However, experience has shown that high marginal tax rates are harmful to the economy.  It would stimulate a higher standard of living for everyone if the government relied on tariffs and fees instead of on a “progressive” income tax.  Those would also be much less intrusive than the IRS. 

End the federal War on Poverty 

The federal government’s so-called War on Poverty has also been a failure.  It was never appropriate or constitutional to make the central government the provider of charity for the American poor.  Under the US Constitution, that role belongs to state and local governments as well as non-governmental organizations, families and individuals.  The federal government should phase out its role in poverty programs. 

Many trillions of federal tax dollars have been wasted through programs that have mainly served to create a permanent, inter-generational welfare class composed primarily of single parent families.  This has acted to facilitate the growth of criminal street gangs. These programs are also susceptible to fraud, as the state of Minnesota has recently demonstrated.   

The federal government has an accumulated debt of over 38 trillion dollars.  It would best serve the American people to pay it down rather than throwing away money on harmful assistance programs. 

                                         End Reverse Discrimination 

Affirmative Action programs constitute discrimination against whites to make up for past racial discrimination against people of color.  This has been going on for over half a century and was always inappropriate.  Our goal should always have been to eliminate racial discrimination, not to perpetuate it in an anti-white form.   

Since the early 1970s, federal legislation and court rulings have allowed, encouraged, and even required American institutions to employ affirmative action to promote economic equality among America’s racial communities.  While the goal of racial equality is admirable, violating the rights of white people to achieve it is not.  The federal government should fight against racial discrimination, even discrimination against the white community.  

                                                     In Conclusion 

American society made great progress for everyone under President Trump, despite everything Democrats and globalist Republicans could do to prevent it.  The globalist Biden administration undid much of that progress.  Yet we have learned from Donald Trump what a positive force the federal government can be when power rests in the right hands.  The American electorate needs to stop voting for people who operate under anti-American agendas and start voting consistently for America Firsters.
