Thad McCotter: Open borders is ideology, not a solution

The collectivist & elitist nature of globalism most naturally suits the Left, and its veneer of economic libertarianism seduces the Right. The elitist ideology helped produce the core economic and diplomatic policies of recent administrations. It was this bipartisan ideology that approved "open borders" as a solution to the problem of illegal immigration. It was this bipartisan ideology combining the end of history and creative destruction that have so disordered our age.

Thad McCotter: Adopt English as America's official language

We must stop providing taxpayers' money to illegal immigrants. We must make clear there that will be no amnesty now or ever for illegal immigrants. Finally, we must fix the entire broken system of legal immigration by returning to principles of asylum for and the assimilation of new immigrants, including the adoption of English as America's official language--for the benefit of both immigrants and citizens--and by logically differentiating rural enterprises from other enterprises in granting work visas. Responsibly and justly ending illegal immigration will secure our sovereignty and soil, and keep America a beacon of liberty and hope for the world's tired, poor, and huddled masses.
