Schlafly's "Must Ask" questions for All Presidential Candidates
Phyllis Schlafly doesn't pull any punches in her Eagle Forum commentaries. This one posts questions which need to be asked to everyone running for president. Here are some of them:
Do you consider it a presidential duty to prevent illegal entry into our country?Let the questioning begin!
Will you use whatever means necessary to close our borders to illegal aliens and illegal drugs, including electronic fences and National Guard troops?
Since most illegal drugs come across our southern border, will you require visual inspection of the contents of at least 50 percent of trucks coming across our border (instead of just 1 percent to 2 percent)?
What is your plan to stop the entry of 85 percent of illegal drugs that come over our southern border?
Will you pardon the two Border Patrol agents who stopped an illegal alien from bringing in a million dollars worth of illegal drugs, and now face 11- and 12-year sentences while the drug smuggler was given immunity from prosecution?
Last year, the Senate passed the Secure Fence Act 80-19, the House passed it 283-138, and we saw President Bush on television signing it into law. Now we are told the fence will never be built. Do you intend to obey the Secure Fence Act and order a fence built on our southern border?
Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens on a path to citizenship without going home and getting in line for lawful immigration?
Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens into our Social Security system under the State Department plan called "totalization"? That would bankrupt the system just when baby boomers are retiring.
In the 109th Congress, McCain co-sponsored with Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, S.2611, a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill supported by the Bush administration that included provisions calling for "guest workers" and a "pathway to citizenship."
