Endorsed Issues
English as a Single National Language
OFIR believe citizens should not provide tax support for fostering other languages except in our educational system and there only to learn the other languages in addition to and not in the place of English.
We oppose the printing of ballots in any language other than English. We support free ESL courses for all citizens and legal permanent residents. We oppose free ESL language courses for all illegal immigrants.
Issuance of ID cards
OFIR oppose the issuance of drivers' licenses or State identity cards to any illegal immigrant.
Law Enforcement
OFIR believes citizens should require law enforcement officers to assist the INS in enforcing our immigration laws.
Federal Immigration Issues
 |
in the United States, see this article. |
|---|
Federal law should be changed to require prosecution and deportation of aliens who are illegally here and those who have overstayed their visas. More money should be provided for federal law enforcement personnel and prosecutors to enforce those laws and to prosecute those selling or providing false identification of any kind to illegal aliens and to do so should be made a felony.
State legislation should be adopted requiring all public officials, including judicial officials other than attorneys representing those accused of crimes, to report knowledge obtained by them regarding illegal immigrants.
OFIR oppose any amnesty for illegal aliens.
OFIR favors repeal of national legislation favoring entry of above average educated aliens for any purpose unless it can be clearly demonstrated that our educational institutions, with financial assistance from either the governments or private industry, cannot provide such educated personnel.
