immigration
Policies which the nominator knows the nominee supports or in which they have expertise:
I have almost 3 years experience with the US immigration department trying to secure a green card for my wife Marieta who is a former green card holder, the mother of our 2 US born children (Ohio) Franchesca & MC who are now living in our home in Citrus Springs Florida, a US taxpayer (weve filed a joint return since 1990 when we got married), married to a US citizen and 11 year Air Force veteran (me) and we cannot get past the iron curtain US immigration system. They say we have another 2 year wait (28 months) before they make a decision. A guy like me would be perfect to go into immigration and turn it around by making legal immigration, legal again!
Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) Is Competent ... 1987 Ohio State U aerospace engineering grad. US Air Force Engineering officer, aerospace engineer for TRW, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman working at multiple US, UK, Australia government operational sites. Author of 8 books available on amazon.
2) Is Honest... My wife and I found $500 cash in the Westpac Bank ATM in Darwin, Australia. Bank didnt open for another 30 minutes, 9 a.m. We had coffee then went back to the bank and the managers said, Is it five hundred dollars? We said yes, and she said, I know who it belongs to. We gave her the cash and she called out, Here it is Mr. so-and-so. He was the happiest man in Darwin. He tried to give us $100 but we declined. The happy expression on his face was reward enough.
3) Is Respectful ... Dont always agree with others, but I give airspace for their opinions with the realization that Im always learning and growing and with the realization that theres a distinct possibility I could be ... wrong.
4) Has Integrity ... See Is honest response
5) Has Courage ... Became a protestor during COVID. Not a very popular and/or profitable occupation. Took courage ... and took a lot of flak for doing it. Also, left my high paying engineering contractor job in July 2009 because I was tired of the mindless red tape and had built a sufficient side income through property investment. Began writing books.
6) Has a Proven Record... Financially independent. Not dependent on a job, the government and or some company to pay my bills.
