Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports

Illegal immigration has been detrimental to American jobs, housing, education and medical care. We are proponents of a moratorium on all immigration into this country. It is not for a lack of empathy that we advocate for freezing all immigration; it is for a greater love of the American people. The citizens of this country should never have been saddled with the obligation of fixing the problems in foreign countries. Politicians often excuse immigration because they claim foreigners only seek to flee oppressive governments. This excuse is nothing more than a smokescreen for corporations to import cheap foreign labor and for the military industrial system to find a new boogeyman.

Corporate greed, not foreign desperation, is the main cause for the massive influx of illegal immigration into this country. Corporations grease the pockets of politicians so the borders can be opened to cheap laborers. The result is the replacement of the American working class with predatory wages for migrants rather than a living wage for citizens. The flood of cheap labor also increases the cost of housing throughout the country. So, not only are Americans wrongfully stripped of their employment, they are then priced out of the housing market. Freezing immigration, including H-1B visas, will put the power back into the hands of the American worker.

Declining birth rates is not some inevitable law of nature. Certainly, financial and medical constraints are leading couples to have fewer children but there is more to it. Culturally, we have been taught to no longer embrace traditional roles for parents. Instead, we have replaced the importance of parental roles with the collective pursuit of materialism. We must reprioritize family and reinforce that children are our greatest blessing. 

Raising the next generation must be treated as an imperative role in our society. We are taught to believe that working for a major corporation is a high achievement and only low achievers are stay-at-home parents. The reality is, corporations replace you and they keep functioning like you never left. You cannot replace a mother and father. A parent should have the ability to stay at home and raise their children. Families can gain significant support through tax credits, manageable medical costs and by reducing educational debt. We believe elected officials should support these policies because there is no role in our society more consequential than a dedicated parent.

 Adolf Loos, a leading influencer of post-WWII architecture, concluded that “freedom from ornament is a sign of spiritual strength.” Loos, whose teachings influenced generations of architects, focused on removing ornate designs from architecture because these artistic touches could fall out of style. The men who assembled these buildings of concrete and steel believed that decoration was a moral failure. Eventual global endorsement of Loos’ theories has left humanity devoid of beauty in architecture.

Studies have shown that people who are surrounded by mundane architecture care less about consequences, record fewer memories and are ten times more likely to take suggestions. Nobody keeps doing something that provably depresses people unless depressed people are useful to someone. We believe that restoring beauty in architecture should be a guiding example of a modern architectural revival. Architecture should hold your attention and be filled with a human element of design. Our city streets are emblematic of what happens when beauty is not prioritized. Elected officials should encourage and promote beautiful architecture. At the same time, they should foster the development of beauty on our streets by enforcing laws against drug use, vagrancy, littering and graffiti. Restoring beauty to our streets is not cruelty; it is what makes a place worth defending.

"The care of the Earth is our most ancient, most worthy and most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it, and to foster its renewal, is our only hope."

- Wendell Berry

Our idea of conservationism is centered around Americans taking care of the land, water, forests and wildlife. It is not a nostalgic idea to use our natural resources wisely. This idea took root in America during the Progressive Era when President Theodore Roosevelt stood up against the wasteful plunder of our resources. He understood that the nation’s forests, rivers, and wildlife were the shared inheritance of the American people. 

Early conservation fought waste and protected game so all Americans could still hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors. We have lost our will to conserve because we have lost our connection to nature. Now, Americans spend about ninety percent of their time indoors. When the world around us feels lifeless, our connection to everything else gets weaker. Our children need to get off their screens and spend more unsupervised time outdoors so that they have the ability to connect with nature. As the great Wendell Berry said, "Nobody can discover the world for someone else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common ground, and we cease to be alone."
