But the simple truth is that we've lost control of our own borders, and no nation can do that and survive.

For the average American, the message is clear. Liberalism is no longer the answer. It is the problem.

It is the tendency of Government to grow, for practices and programs to become the nearest thing to eternal life we'll see on this earth.

It's time that we recognized that ours was in truth a noble cause.

The ongoing migration of persons to the United States in violation of our laws is a serious national problem detrimental to the interests of the United States.

Our problems are both acute and chronic, yet all we hear from those in positions of leadership are the same tired proposals for more government tinkering, more meddling and more control---all of which led us to this state in the first place... We must have the clarity of vision to see the difference between what is essential and what is merely desirable, and then the courage to bring our government back under control and make it acceptable to the people.

Our liberties, our values, all for which America stands is safe today because brave men and women have been ready to face the fire at freedom's front. And we thank God for them.
