Anti-Racism Act

Prohibit federal laws, programs, and documents from using specified demographic classifications to determine eligibility, preference, treatment, or funding.

Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

The Anti-Racism Act will END “systematic racism” by mandating retroactively that no Law, Act, government program, or government document may make reference to race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, or national origin (exception for national origin from countries on National Security watch list). As such, all currently active laws, programs and documents that make reference to any subgroup of Human Beings must be amended to remove said references, or be terminated. The Anti-Racism Act will also outlaw any future legislation, or government program, from specifying, or naming, any group of Humans defined by race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, national origin, or any other general grouping that will be used to determine qualification, preference of qualification, treatment within, or funding level of participants for any government related program or activity.

Prosecutorial Requirements for U.S. Attorneys

Require federal prosecutors to take a minimum share of cases referred by law-enforcement agencies to trial.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

This legislation would require Federal District Attorneys to take a minimum number of all cases brought to them by Local, State, or Federal law enforcement to trial. I like a number of around 98%, but that can be negotiated. This will stop communist prosecutors in their tracks. They either take criminals to trial or lose their jobs.

Strengthen border enforcement, remove people who entered the country illegally, and criminalize assistance with unauthorized border crossings.

The uncontrolled influx of illegal invaders that has been allowed to happen over the last 3 years is one of the greatest dangers to our national sovereignty that this country has ever faced. Unfortunately, it is just one of several threats to our national sovereignty that has come to pass in the last three years. It is imperative that we immediately secure our borders and remove the invaders.
