My goal for reform is not necessarily to pass laws but to make sure the laws are being followed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I promise, before God and my community, to seek reforms so that the powerful and corrupt are no longer above the law.
I want to do what I can to make the law make sense to citizens and businesses alike. I want the laws to assist them in worthwhile endeavors, not to stand as bureaucratic obstacles.
Reform is the mission from which we shall not digress; it is an expression of belief and determination between us and our people. With the help of Allah, we will proceed forward in this promising national process within the natural progress of the life cycle and the development of people and nation.
Which goes to show you, you can make all the laws you want, but you cannot change people's ways. If you must change them, you have to understand that it will take a long time.
It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence.
To reform means to shatter one form and to create another; but the two sides of this act are not always equally intended nor equally successful.
My goal as a citizen is to do what I can to help the causes that I personally believe in.
Anyone who sincerely wanted to use policy to reduce illegal immigration should start by crafting legislation based on changing actual behavior.
The fight for reform comes down to a simple goal: giving our citizens the confidence that government serves the people first and the people only.
Immigration reform is a must, an amnesty. So that's my position. I've been pushing that one since before it was popular.
