4th DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN
The Reason I am Running

I am running for Congress this year to change America’s immigration laws. Our congressman, Ed Pastor, has not done anything I can detect to solve this problem, which centrally affects Arizona’s 4th Congressional District.
We need to repeal the immigration quota system for workers who want to come to Arizona to get jobs and produce more services, more goods, and more prosperity for all of us.
The only thing “illegal” about “illegal immigration” is that it violates the racist quota system. Read my essay, “Surely, this is a victimless crime!” (Actually, it is not a crime – not even a misdemeanor! It is a civil violation of Federal immigration laws.)
America needs more young workers, and the quota system that limits them from coming here to work is simply stupid, irrational, and racist. It is hurting Arizona’s economy. The immigration crackdown by our Legislature last year, and the Proposition 202 on the November ballot, which will make this restriction unamendable, is already showing bad results. [Proposition 202 was defeated Nov.4; I am glad.]
I am a professional economist. I used to be a college professor teaching economics. There is a clear cause-and-effect between Arizona’s economic slump in 2008 and the employer sanctions our Legislature imposed last year. It is costing us economic growth and tax revenue, which is forcing our State into an unsustainable budget deficit. The governor and legislature are being forced into a false choice between tax increases or spending cuts – because of badly motivated political rhetoric against Latinos.
