American Citizens United
Mission Statement
The American Citizens United organization is a group of patriotic American citizens united
in the goal of ending the massive, illegal immigration to the United States. Our membership
is like America itself, made up of people of all different; races, colors, and creeds. We are
not a hate group and will never tolerate hatred toward any group of people based on race, color, or religion.
Those opposed to enforcement of our immigration laws have attempted to label any individual or organization supporting securing our borders and enforcement of our immigration laws as racist. They are in favor of turning the immigration issue into a race issue and dividing the American people. We strongly object to this divisive tactic and while demanding a secure border and enforcement of all our immigration laws, we stand firmly against racism by any group on either side of the issue. We therefore, in addition demanding control of illegal immigration, will work to defeat the effort to turn the immigration issue into an issue of race. The immigration issue is not about race but about the sovereignty and survival of The United States of America.
Membership shall be open to any Citizen of the United States of America, franchised to vote, who are not affiliated with any race-based organization that in any way advocates violence or the superiority of one race, ancestry or, religion over any other, or the re-conquest of any part
of the United States by any nation. Our members shall be citizens of the United States only
and have no dual citizenship with any other nation.
American Citizens United can best be summed up in the words of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907:
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room but for one flag, the American flag....
We have room but for one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for
but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
In regard to our mission of controlling illegal immigration to the United States, we must first
stop the bleeding. Therefore, we will advocate and demand the following action by our government.
First, our border security must be improved to deter illegal border crossing into the United States. A nation without a secure border is not a nation at all. Our border is still not secure from not only illegal immigrants but also from drug smugglers and terrorist. It is true that good fences make good neighbors; therefore, we demand the completion of the fence on our southern border with Mexico. A true strategy of deterrence at our border requires not only a good fence but also additional manpower and if necessary, deployment of American military forces at our border.
Second, we demand that the magnet of jobs that attract illegal immigration, be turned off. An advocate of placing water in the Arizona desert to prevent the death of people illegally entering our country once said, "they're not coming for the water," we agree, they're coming for the jobs. A major cause of the problem of massive illegal immigration has been the lack of enforcement of employer sanctions against hiring undocumented workers, therefore, an important solution
to the problem of illegal immigration is aggressive enforcement of employer sanctions. We support the suspension or revocation of the business license of any business knowingly hiring undocumented workers and if necessary the confiscation of assets of any business that persists in employing undocumented workers and the incarceration of criminal employers.
Third, Illegal aliens should not be eligible, other then for emergency care, for public benefits. If someone has no right to be in America they have no right to benefits established for American citizens and funded by American taxpayers. It should be a criminal offense for an illegal alien to apply for any non-emergency benefits.
Fourth, we advocate the use of local law enforcement in the enforcement of federal immigration laws and strongly oppose any sanctuary policy for illegal aliens by any local government If the federal government won't enforce the law then it becomes the responsibility of local government to protect their citizens and enforce the law. To protect the safety of the American people we demand the immediate removal of illegal aliens arrested for crimes within the United States or their immediate removal after serving any prison sentence for crimes committed in the United States. We will not allow American citizens to become the victims of crimes committed by those who have no business being in our country.
We do hereby dedicate this organization: American Citizens United - to those of all races and creeds who gave their lives in defense of The United States of America.
