Joe Miller on Immigration

 

 


End Barack Obama's illegal amnesty

The news of Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan's endorsement of Lisa Murkowski's re-election campaign was met with strong condemnation from 2014 rival Joe Miller. "From supporting Planned Parenthood's federally funded abortions, to continuing Barack Obama's illegal amnesty and funding Obamacare, Lisa Murkowski's loyalty lies with DC cronies and political insiders rather than the people of Alaska. Senator Dan Sullivan's endorsement of Lisa Murkowski is a betrayal of everything Alaska conservatives hold dear," continued Miller. "Dan told us he was a conservative. He told us he shared our Tea Party values. He told us he was a fighter who would confront the Obama administration. Now he has endorsed one of Barack Obama and Harry Reid's chief enablers."

Joe Miller concluded: "Dan Sullivan needs to be reminded that we have enough talkers in the Senate. All talk, no action won't cut it. Talk is cheap. Sadly, it appears Dan has abandoned Alaska conservatives for the DC Cartel."

Sign pledge to oppose all efforts at amnesty

Thousands of miles from the U.S-Mexico border, three Republicans vying for their party's nomination for U.S. Senate in Alaska clashed on immigration Sunday night in a televised debate. Both Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell refused to sign a pledge offered by Joe Miller to oppose all efforts at "amnesty" for people here illegally if elected to the US Senate, with Treadwell chastising Miller for sending out a mailer on immigration featuring menacing Hispanic gang members.

Miller, in turn, noted that several of Sullivan's backers, like GOP strategist Karl Rove, favor allowing many of the 11 million immigrants in the country to eventually become citizens. "It's because it's the truth," Miller said when challenged about the pictures on the flier. "This is real-world stuff."

On immigration, all three candidates bashed the Obama administration for failing to secure the border.

Endorsed by the ALI, indicating a strongly anti-amnesty stance.

Miller is endorsed by by ALIPAC, Americans for Legal Immigration

ALIPAC supporters have a diverse range of opinions, yet we are united in the belief that more should be done to reduce illegal immigration. ALIPAC supports those that legally immigrate, but we DO NOT support any amnesty, visa expansion, or "Guest Worker" program designed to reward illegal aliens or legalize their presence in the US. We support a peaceful, non racist, rule of law approach to resolving illegal immigration. America is a land of generous and caring people, but our hospitality and values are being strained and abused by those who are willing to break the law and take our jobs and our tax dollars. America's illegal alien population will begin to shrink instead of grow if we support candidates that will reflect the will of the vast majority of American citizens.

    FOUR POINT PLATFORM: "Simply enforce our existing immigration laws!"
  1. Secure Our Borders
  2. Crack down on employers that intentionally hire illegals
  3. Remove incentives and rewards to illegals such as licenses, welfare, and other taxpayer benefits
  4. Enforce our existing laws and deport illegal aliens when convicted of crimes or detected during routine law enforcement activities.
