ACP Platform Principles Summary

 

These are in no order of importance please check out the full platform plank for full details if more details are listed in following sections.

 

 

Immigration Reform- Promote legal immigration and end illegal immigration. Enforce the laws of the United States in regards to our borders.  

 

Immigration has made America great. America is a nation of immigrants. However, America is also a nation of laws. America must promote legal immigration while ending illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants should not be rewarded for coming to this nation illegally. Illegal immigration is breaking the law. We must protect our borders to maintain security for all Americans. Ending illegal immigration will also stop the abuse and the pseudo slavery like conditions that many illegal immigrants endure to live in the U.S. Thus, the ACP supports:

 

1. The ACP supports the increase in Immigration centers to be strategically placed along the border. These would be similar to how Ellis Island was back in the late 19th early 20th centuries. These centers would have employees to help the immigrants begin their paperwork on the Internet. This would help speed up immigration process. Emergency Medical and Food supplies would be housed as well along with Immigrant Employment Services and Law enforcement/Border patrol officers. These centers will be able to do DNA, Face mapping, fingerprints, health checks, and law enforcement database checks. These centers may also help with lining up job training programs for immigrants as well.

 

2. Guest Worker Program

            a. Companies who hire guest workers will only be allowed to hire them after a three month period of the position being available only to American citizens and immigrants already in the citizenship process. If after three months no American citizen has taken the job or immigrant in citizenship process has taken the position/s. The position/s may be opened to guest worker program after an INS review and okay.

3. Any illegal immigrant in the United States will not be offered a path to citizenship unless they are deported back to their country of origin. They will be placed to the back of the immigration line from that nation if they want to immigrate legally. Any children born from illegal immigrants will have their U.S. citizenship stripped as they received citizenship at birth under false pretenses due to their parent’s illegal status in this nation.

            a. The ACP is open to the idea of a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in America under the following conditions.             

                        1a. Full payment of any back taxes

                        2a. Criminal background checks

                        3a. The notation of the crime of illegal immigration on their permanent record and the payment of a $15,000 fine.

 

Federal Ban on Sanctuary Cities:

The ACP thinks that a federal ban on sanctuary cities must be initiated to help prevent illegal immigration and illegal immigrant crime.

 

  1. A sanctuary city for the purpose of his issue will be defined as any city or municipality or state that does not report illegal immigrants involved in crimes to the INS or other appropriate agencies.
  2. All police or law enforcement officers at any level must check for habitation status in the U.S. for all suspects suspected to be of illegal status when suspect is detained or confronted in course of an investigation or other manner of police or law enforcement business.
  3. Law enforcement must only check immigration status of suspects in the crime. They may not check for immigration status during interviews of witnesses.
    1. This is to protect workers while working and to foster to keep the proper line of responsibilities between law enforcement and immigration enforcement agencies when and where appropriate.
    2. This will also help foster trust between “peaceful” illegal immigrants and law enforcement officials.
  4. Any municipality or state that remains a sanctuary city or state will have the chief executive (i.e. governor, mayor, councilperson) arrested and tried for aiding and abetting illegal immigration.
    1. Also federal funds will be reduced to that municipality and/or state.
