Where Hector Maldonado Stands on: 

Illegal Immigration

 I am against the rapid and careless overnight amnesty or citizenship of illegal aliens in this country. It’s neither healthy for our economy nor for our national security to grant swift Amnesty for any reason. I was naturalized, so I for one can respect and understand why people would like to live the American Dream. Some politicians only look at amnesty for potential votes.  Some politicians seeks to divide us when states like Arizona enforce national law. The truth is that we are a Nation of laws and we cannot ignore this for the sake of “political correctness.”  If we ignore our constitutional laws, then the very existence of the American Dream will fade quickly from this Earth.
  
Here is what we first must do:  First, we must seal the borders. Second, we deal with those that are here illegally. Amnesty has been granted in the past and it only encourages more of the same behavior. We cannot continue to reward bad or negative behavior in anything the government regulates or legislates on.
 
In the general course of human nature, a power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will. Alexander Hamilton

Since Jan 2004 there have been seven, guest worker Visa programs.  We can continue to issue worker Visas for those jobs that Americans will not do. My father came to this country under such program in 1950. However, many of these H1B visas given now are non Agriculture jobs. These jobs include Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, Architects travel industry, etc. We need to look at the jobs that we are giving away of which we have plenty of American talent here willing and able to do these job without risk to our national security.  Career Politicians compromise their integrity and values by siding with large corporations to give away these jobs to foreigners and Americans citizens remain jobless.
   
I will continue to look for solutions to the issues of illegal immigration and how to best deal with this issue. Thus far; I have yet to hear anyone with a credible solution. Nevertheless, I am convinced that we can seal the border rather quick and rather easily. I refuse to accept that sealing the border is a complicated task that cannot be achieved. If we put a man on the Moon, we can definitely seal our borders. We ought to use our National Guard if we need to.  Each south Bordering state has a sizeable and capable State Militia that can protect its interest at the call of the Governor.
 
I support Arizona. If the Federal government is not going to protect our borders, then States have a duty to protect their borders and its citizens.
 
Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.
Calvin Coolidge

We are a Nation of Laws. Wrong is wrong. Amnesty is not fair to those who go thru the front door and wait in line to come in. 

Life Issue

I have been asked where I stand on Abortion. My answer is: Abortion is Murder. I’m an advocate for innocent Life. I will fight for those that cannot fight for themselves. I always have and I always will defend both the unborn and all Americans with special needs. I support the values and laws of the bible upon which our republic was founded on.  We are still a Nation of Christians. Our Judean Christian founding has given us Laws are principles based on morality, and ethics. If we ignore Morality and ethics who is to say anything is right or wrong? No man, not even the President of our nation can take our heritage away from us nor can he erase our founding values and principles.  We must re-constitute our Republic form of Government.
  
I am Pro-life and I will not support or vote for any legislation that does not respect the sanctity of life. I will never compromise on the issue of innocent life. I also believe in taking care of God’s children with special needs.  Nevertheless, my good friend Gary S. Paxton Sr and I call them the Handicap-able. These children, my brothers and sisters still have feelings and they have a heart.  I am a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus. We serve to protect the unborn and gods children with special needs. The U.S. Constitution grants us Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness. Life is from conception to natural death.  An unborn fetus develops a heart and it is beating by the 18th day after conception. The unborn have protection under the constitution too.

Right now, it’s imperative to seek real experienced Leaders and ask questions of real subject matter experts. By this I mean people that have lived life in real times, not theologians or career politicians. We need leaders that know and understand the difficulties of Missourians businesses operators. We need Leaders that will talk less but will implement real solutions for the betterment of prosperity and economic growth. We need leaders who will offer common sense legislation and legitimate governance. We need leaders that will govern by the People and for the People not against them.

“The people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived.” ~James Madison

We need leaders that are in touch with real people and take time to listen to the real issues that affect us the most. We need leaders that know the impacts and hardships of the average American tax payer.

We need leaders that not only know the history of our founding but that believe in our Founders’ Declaration of Independence. We need Leaders that not only know the U.S. Constitution, but that rule by this majestic document. We need Leaders that truly will support and defend the Constitution of The United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

We need defenders of Liberty and Freedom. Leaders who are ready to Guard and Defend it at any cost. Why do we need such Leaders?

Because America deserves Leaders that love LIBERTY and FREEDOM, not Power.
