Where does the RIGOP STAND? With the Taxpayers and American Citizens or against?
Good morning – as I get up to speed from returning home from the NFRA Presidential Preference Convention in Des Moines, IA, I find that an editorial in Sunday’s Providence Journal might lead one to think that Republicans are okay with some new world order and that this nation is no longer a nation of laws, as long as you feel good about what you do…
The Rhode Island Republican Assembly (RIRA) and most fiscal and constitutional conservatives strongly oppose in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
Rewards for this type of violation of the laws and sovereignty of this nation promote the demise of American Citizenship.
Let us all refrain from the Political Correctness being put forth by many Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives. We must define the discussion for what it is and not let others water it down, make it seem less offensive or even acceptable. There is no such thing as “undocumented students / workers”! They are illegal aliens who have CHOSEN to ignore the laws of our land.
The state cannot afford its pension system, yet Governor Chafee, Dr. Harrop and Ms. Rojas want to give away tax dollars to those who violate the laws of this Nation.
Let us all remember that while Republican President Reagan provided amnesty for 3 million illegal immigrants in the 1980′s, the other piece of the puzzle was that the Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals in congress were suppose to give the American Citizens secure borders and immigration reform, which the Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals reneged on. Of course, that was left out of the most recent discussion. Should anyone wish to put forth what President Reagan’s thoughts were and could be, they should do so after talking to former Attorney General Edwin Meese.
Do Dr. Harrop and Ms. Rojas, as officers of the State RIGOP, currently speak for the State Party on this issue as the article might have one believe? They also list themselves as officers of the Providence GOP City Committee. Are they speaking on behalf of that organization as well?
What is the RIGOP State Party and Providence’s City Committee official position now that Dr. Harrop has been on talk radio promoting this horrendous act by non-elected officials, appointed by a Governor, who through his actions, has shown great contempt for those who became Citizens legally?
Will Dr. Harrop and Ms. Rojas be sanctioned for possibly misleading the general public into thinking this is the RIGOP Policy?
As American Citizens, they are well within their rights to speak on issues as they see fit. I, along will millions of other American Citizens, have served on Active Duty to protect these rights.
The question is: Does the RIGOP stand for anything different then the Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives like Governor Chafee, Senator Paiva-Weed, or Representative Fox?
ANSWERS AND LEADERSHIP ARE NEEDED AND DEMANDED NOW!!!
