POLICY POSITION ON BORDER INTEGRITY:  CLEARLY WE ARE GUARANTEED A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT TO SECURE OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS.  A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT INCLUDES CLEARLY DEFINED JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES AND CITIZENSHIP.  BORDER INTEGRITY AND IMMIGRATION OF FOREIGN CITIZENS SHOULD INCLUDE GREATER EMPOWERMENT OF IMPACTED STATES.  NON-CITIZENS ENTERING THE COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE CLEARLY DEMONSTRABLE LEGAL, LAWFUL, AND PRODUCTIVE REASONS FOR ENTERING OUR BORDERS.  FURTHER, STATES SHOULD HAVE A GREATER SAY IN THE NATURALIZATION PROCESS BY REQUIRING NATURALIZING INDIVIDUALS TO BE SPONSORED BY AND RESIDING IN A SPECIFIC STATE FOR A LENGTH OF TIME THAT ESTABLISHES ROOTS.  STATES SHOULD BE EMPOWERED TO LEGISLATE SPONSORSHIP AND NATURALIZATION CRITERIA.  LASTLY, NATURALIZED PERSONS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ACCEPT, AND DEMONSTRATE A WILLFUL INTEGRATION OF, THE IDEOLOGICAL TENETS OF OUR POLITICAL CULTURE LAID OUT IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.  EXAMPLE: CURRENTLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE TO ENTER THE COUNTRY WITHOUT THOSE PERSONS HAVING SHOWN PRODUCTIVE REASONS FOR THEIR INFILTRATION, WITHOUT SPONSORSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY BY THE STATES ENCOURAGING THE IMMIGRATION INVASION, AND WITHOUT THE PERSONS DEMONSTRATING ADHERENCE TO OUR FOUNDING POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
