Immigration

There is an epidemic in America right now and it is Illegal Immigration. Contrary to what most people believe, being in American illegally is not a crime. It is a civil matter.

Arizona and Alabama have enacted legislation to combat this issue because the Federal government has failed to protect our Borders. They have allowed all these people who have come in the country illegally to apply for government assistance, in state tuition and they don't have to pay taxes. They crowd our Hospitals ER's with non-emergency complaints and never pay for the services which in turn increases medical cost for everyone else.

This is not fair to honest immigrants who go through the proper channels to come here and be law abiding citizens.

America is the only country that rewards those who are here illegally and punishes those who are here legally. It is time that we in Mississippi start enacting legislation that will protect Mississippi.

Drug testing for those who recieve government benifets

There is a call from the people of Mississippi that those who receive Government Assistance be drug tested before receiving Benefits and then to be randomly tested.





I agree with this idea. Any job that you go to will require you to be drug tested for illegal substances before being able to be hired. I see no problem with testing those who receive benefits. It is actually practical. When you are on government benefits, such as TANF, Food stamps, and W.I.C., you are supposed to also be looking for a job.





With this policy, I would support that anyone who tested positive for any non-prescribed controlled substance be barred from receiving government benefits for a minimum of 2 years before they could reapply.





Also, anyone who is on Government Assistance should be required to search for a job turning in a minimum of 6 job applications a month and required to accept any suitable job offers that would not create an undue hardship. They would be required to turn in a worksheet of jobs they applied for signed of by the manager of the places theyhave turned in applications or had interviews.

political philosophy

My name is Boyd Kendall and I am Running for House District 109.

I believe in the vision set forth by our Forefathers. A country where we are free to speak our minds without and worship as we see fit. A country were we have the right to keep and bear arms for everything from hunting to the defense of our country self. A country where the government is limited, not over reaching.
I believe in our country where we are allowed to own our own property. A place where we can work for ourselves. Were we can make our own future anyway we want, where everyone has the opportunity of a good education if they want it.
I believe our tax dollars she be accounted for and used for the defense of our freedoms, not as government handouts. Used to build infrastructures, not bail out day traders who mismanaged there accounts.
I believe that the state needs to live within its means by creating a budget that, not only is balanced but also creates savings that can be used to pay down the states current debt and also used for natural disasters.
As a legislator I plan on introducing and supporting measures that will move Mississippi forward and to become a leader in the Nation. A state that other states look to when considering there own issues. A state that others model themselves after.

With your help we can win this election and help move Mississippi forward!
