I. Immigration and National Identity
America’s immigration system must be overhauled to serve the national interest, not global sentiment or corporate demand for cheap labor. I support a sharp reduction in legal immigration under current rules and a transition to a merit-based system that prioritizes:
– Young, skilled immigrants with high English proficiency and cultural compatibility.
– Individuals who are, or can quickly become, self-sufficient, contributing members of society.
– Immigrants thoroughly vetted and background-checked for security and integrity.
Birthright citizenship should be severely restricted. It is currently abused by individuals with no loyalty to the U.S. and used to gain the benefits of citizenship without adopting the responsibilities or values of the nation. Citizenship must require deeper roots—such as long-term residency of the parents and cultural assimilation of the child.
Illegal immigration should be met with swift deportation without prolonged due process. Illegal entry is a criminal act, and those who break our laws should not benefit from legal protections under them. Rapid enforcement also acts as a critical deterrent.
A physical border barrier is essential, due to the sheer geographical scale of our southern border. The military should be empowered to support border enforcement as part of its role in defending national sovereignty.
Cultural assimilation is non-negotiable. A cohesive society cannot exist when multiculturalism promotes parallel identities. Diversity without unity fragments communities, weakens social trust, and poses dangers in national crises. We must reaffirm American cultural identity as the cornerstone of immigration and social policy.
II. Foreign Policy and Global Engagement
American foreign policy must be dictated solely by national interest. We are not the world’s police, and our resources must be used to protect and advance our own position globally.
– Ukraine is a European issue. While its conflict with Russia is tragic, it does not directly impact core U.S. interests. Europe must shoulder this burden.
– Israel remains an ally but should no longer enjoy a blank-check policy. We must collaborate when our interests align, not out of obligation or emotional loyalty. They solve problems they often create. We are not supposed to be the generous benefactor of a one-sided relationship.
– Taiwan is non-negotiable. It is critical to our national security and economic survival. Taiwan’s semiconductor industry powers both our military and civilian infrastructure. Losing access would cripple our capabilities and give China an insurmountable edge.
NATO must be reformed. It should only include partners who:
– Align with our national interests.
– Can materially contribute to their own defense.
– Offer strategic geographic value for bases or global reach.
We should not withdraw from the world, but our interventions must be based on vital interests—not abstract moral obligations or international pressure. Sovereignty and respect for internal governance of other nations must be upheld, unless our own interests are directly threatened.
The United States must aggressively decouple from China, even if it causes short-term economic pain. China plans 50 years ahead; we plan in quarters and election cycles. This asymmetry is lethal. Strategic industries and manufacturing must be restored domestically. Delay will only compound our vulnerability.
III. Economic Policy and Industrial Strategy
I support strategic protectionism, not as dogma, but as a tool for national security and self-reliance.
– Tariffs and less visible tools (e.g. regulatory barriers) must be deployed against powerful rivals and in critical sectors like heavy manufacturing, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
– I support reshoring production through pressure and incentive alike. America once had the best industrial base in the world. It can again—but only if government policy aggressively backs this transition.
– Free market capitalism remains my preferred model—but it must operate within the context of national loyalty. When our corporations pursue profit globally at the cost of national resilience, it is no longer capitalism—it is exploitation.
– The federal government must act as a strategic guardrail, ensuring that the pursuit of private profit does not come at the expense of national security, economic independence, or the working class.
We are a vast, resource-rich country. While not every nation can afford economic independence, America can—and must—pursue it in strategic sectors. Trade is welcome, but it must be smart trade, not blind globalization.
IV. Cultural, Educational, and Social Issues
Gender ideology is a dangerous social experiment. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and the cultural shift toward celebrating it as an identity—especially among children—is deeply misguided. Indulging these delusions, rather than treating them, is not supported by long-term evidence or common sense. It introduces instability, confuses children, and undermines the foundation of biological and social norms.
– Homosexuality is a personal choice and should remain free from coercion or persecution.
– Gender, however, is not a choice. Reality is not optional. We must stop treating subjective feelings as objective truths that others must obey.
DEI initiatives are misguided attempts to enforce equal outcomes, which are historically impossible and inherently unjust. Merit, not identity, must guide opportunities.
Critical Race Theory has evolved from a legal theory into a dogma. Inequities have always existed, and always will. What matters is equal opportunity, not artificially equal group results. I believe in individual merit, not statistical parity.
Public institutions that undermine national cohesion should be defunded or shut down. No society should fund the ideologies that seek to divide or dismantle it.
Religious values—broadly defined—have held human societies together for millennia. America is not a religious state, but it should not be anti-religion either. General moral frameworks rooted in religious traditions can strengthen civic life. Rituals, however, should remain personal.
Gun rights must be preserved. Disarming the law-abiding will only empower criminals, who will acquire weapons illegally as they do elsewhere. The right to self-defense must remain sacred.
School choice is essential. The public school system has failed in both quality and accountability. Families need alternatives, and competition is the only force that can drive real reform.
Freedom of speech is foundational. It must be preserved absolutely. While no one is obligated to listen, mass disinformation campaigns by major media outlets that lead to tangible harm must be addressed—legally, if necessary.
V. Governance, Reform, and Federal Power
The modern federal bureaucracy has morphed into an unaccountable fourth branch of government. These unelected agencies issue regulations with the force of law, shield themselves from public scrutiny, and create their own insular cultures and agendas.
– Many agency employees are unmotivated, unaccountable, and unqualified for private sector competition. They stay in place because they are nearly impossible to remove and benefit from inertia and lack of oversight.
– These institutions do not exist to serve citizens—they exist to serve themselves, grow their budgets, and justify their continued existence by magnifying problems.
Reform must be systemic and sweeping. We must:
– Cut powers of regulatory agencies.
– Increase executive accountability.
– Reduce the size and scope of the federal workforce.
– End the culture of impunity that defines the “deep state.”
The 2020 election should no longer be a political centerpiece. While fraud may be possible, it is not provable, and we gain nothing from dwelling on it. The focus must shift forward—to building a future, not litigating the past.
Decentralization is essential. Internal affairs—education, healthcare, policing—should return to the states. Federal financial involvement must end. When states must live with the consequences of their policies, better models will rise, and citizens can vote with their feet or voices. This competitive federalism will produce smarter governance and real accountability.
