Why do American Politicians Have Such a Fascination With Amnesty?

Patriotic Perspectives presents a blog by John Wayne Tucker, He is currently running for the United States Congress in Missouri's 3rd Congressional District.


By now, everyone knows that there is a United States Congressman who fears that an additional 5,000 American troops in Guam would capsize the small island. As funny as that is, it scares the pants off me to think that the leaders of our country can be that stupid. Perhaps the Congressman is lying awake worrying now about H.R. 4321 which is an amnesty bill. Perhaps the Congressman is worried that America might capsize or just sink into the ocean because of all the illegals we will allow to come into the country and stay.

As stupid as that is, is it any less stupid of our Congress to consider an amnesty bill that by its own description would allow 11 million illegal immigrants to stay here with virtually free legal status? Especially when by most accounts, the number is closer to 40 or 50 million people. This bill includes portions of two other amnesty bills that have already been vetoed by the American people; not just once, but twice. Now, they hope to include those two bills wrapped up in a new package with even more ridiculous legislation hoping that Americans will be fooled.

In a time period when our own economy is faltering badly and jobs are more scarce than they have ever been in my lifetime, why would a government that cares about its people propose to basically absorb another country that is more economically depressed than our own? They have told us that illegals do the jobs that Americans don’t want to do. But just a week or two ago, there was a major protest at UPS because they were requiring people to verify that they were here legally. There were many who had worked there for a long time and would not be able to provide the evidence. I think a UPS jobs is something that a lot of Americans would like to have right now. Several illegals were caught right here in Missouri doing construction and the police were required to let them go. I think construction jobs are something a lot of people in Missouri would like to do. Who knows what jobs illegals may be doing that take food from the tables of American workers who cannot find jobs?

Let’s look at some of the provisions of this bill that Congress thinks is good for America:

1. First, the proponents argue it is not amnesty because there is a penalty. If you are caught here illegally, you must pay a $500 fine. Of course, if you cannot afford to do that, there are ways around it. That seems sufficient penalty for people costing us $10,000 per year per person, don’t you think?
2. By the way, there is no enforcement in place to take care of the fines and there is no provision to protect the border. That fence at the border. We won’t be needing that.
3. Border patrol would undergo special training so as not to scare children.

4. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could still pick you up, but don’t worry. There are provisions to help you out with that.

1. If you have medical or mental health needs? You are free to go.
2. Pregnant, nursing or have children? You are free to go.
3. Supporting children or others or 65 years old? You are free to go.
4. Victim of a crime, abuse, or violence? You are free to go.

5. And enforcement by the Immigration and Customs officials may not occur in the vicinity of:

1. Any place of worship
2. School Day Care Center
3. Legal service provider
4. Hospital or health care clinic
5. Funeral home or cemetery
6. College, University or junior college
7. A day care center, head start center or school bus stop
8. Recreation center or community center
9. A mental health facility


So, am I the bad guy for thinking this is ridiculous? Let me be clear that I have as much compassion as anyone for human suffering and need. The United States has a historical background of giving until it hurts to help the people of the world. Look at these statistics from 1980 to 2007 from the Census Bureau http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/foreign_commerce_aid/foreign_aid.html

It can never be said that America does not care. But we cannot just give away our country. I know that I have much to thank God for. I was born here and am thankful for it. But there are countries all over the world who struggle with this same issue every day and they have chosen to protect their borders. I have no problem with legal immigration. But there is a significant and well thought out process for that system. How is it remotely fair to tell the rest of the people in the world that they must wait and pay money and get health checks, etc. in order to come here legally, and then let 40 or 50 million people sneak in the back door?

When I am in Congress, there will be no sneaking by ridiculous amnesty bills without an outcry from me. My goal is to protect our borders, our Sovereignty, and our economic prosperity. No Amnesty, No Socialism, No Fascism, No Communism.

My pledge to the Third District and to the People of America

I, John Wayne Tucker, candidate for U. S. Congress in Missouri’s 3rd District pledge to the people of the 3rd Congressional District and to the people of America that I will:


1. Make the Constitution of The United States the basis for all legislation and decisions that I make as a U.S. Congressman. Honor and support to the fullest extent The Bill-of-Rights of the Constitution of The United States.

2. Fully and completely support the Rights of the States to govern themselves as Sovereign States within the scope of the Constitution of The United States.

3. Work to physically reduce the size of federal government and make it less intrusive on our lives.

4. Read the bills on which I vote.

5. Work tirelessly toward a balanced budget for the Federal Government and work to reduce wasteful spending whenever and wherever possible, including in my own offices in hopes of returning part of my operating budget each year.

6. Support Pro-Life issues including the unborn, no embryonic stem cell research and no euthanasia.

7. Work tirelessly to return the St. Louis Metropolitan Area to the greatness that it once knew where jobs are plentiful and growth is assured.

8. Work tirelessly to bring jobs back to America for the benefit of the entire country.

9. Work to end the assault on our borders by protecting us from the illegal alien invasion, building the wall, requiring all employers to verify the legal status of employees and returning all illegals back to their homeland.

10. Fight against all Socialist agendas.


11. Work to repeal the Federal Health Care Bill and find better solutions to our health care problems.

12. Provide honest, upfront, representation for the people of the district. I will be available, approachable and much easier to contact and receive a response from than any of my predecessors.

13. Not sell my values or beliefs to anyone for money or political favors.

14. Work to make English the recognized national language.

15. Work to make it possible for heterosexual marriage and family to survive without federal laws working against marriage and family.

16. Donate half my Congressional salary to the people of the district every year that I hold office. Money to be donated to a not for profit organization of my creation and administered by community leaders who will distribute the money to worthy and needy district projects or programs.

17. Resign my office if it is impossible to keep these promises and tell you clearly the reason that it is not possible to keep these promises regardless of the reason.


This is my sacred pledge for the entirety of my tenure in public office. I will work very hard to present representation to you that will bear no resemblance to the current “good ole boy” politics as usual system that you have become used to. I will work to leave a legacy as a Statesman and not that of a politician.
