I favor a constitutional amendment restricting constitutional rights to
U.S. citizens.

POSITION ON OUTSOURCING:
Offshore Outsourcing is WRONG. U.S. companies should have a U.S. tax
obligation and a moral obligation to U.S. workers. Those that don't
hire U.S. workers or pay U.S. taxes should face penalties. It should be
illegal for our government(s) to outsource, especially when there are
millions of Americans who need work.
GET US OUT OF NAFTA & THE WTO!

POSITION ON GUEST WORKERS:
We actually don't need them. Some say we do need them as agricultural
workers and domestic servants. I can see this, because as a teenage
boy, I picked cherries and strawberries for money. Even back then most
of the people who did that kind of labor were migrant workers. This
does not need to be the case, as parents you have an obligation to
teach your children a work ethic. Teenagers and the unemployed should
be out there picking or mowing peoples lawns.
