Welcome to the third video session. For the record my name is Casey Chlebek and I am running for a United States Senate seat from Illinois.

In this session, I would like to present to you my programs or eventual policy directions regarding “Immigration and National Security“ when elected to the U.S. Senate. This is still just a brief overview of my programs, but for completeness, please review corresponding materials under the issues section of the website.

Immigration is a very sensitive and challenging undertaking. Currently, the entire world is in the process of migratory movements with over 250 million people worldwide on the move to find a new home.

Today, the immigration issue is the most divisive and controversial topic in the US. But also the current immigration system is totally obsolete and unsuited for modern immigration challenges.

My mission as a United States Senator is to introduce a total overhaul of the 100-year-old Immigration System. The new system must accept immigrants who share our values. Our new immigration system must be implemented to satisfy our national goals and it must work in concert with the economy. In the first step toward that direction we should abandon the existing “Visa Lottery” system.

The new immigration policies should be defined very carefully to allow for controlled and legal admissions of new immigrants. The new laws should literally allow for managed recruitment service

centers for new immigrants inside participating countries. Applying immigrants should be very carefully screened to meet our pre-established criteria. The borders should be used only for control of legal immigrants.

When correctly implemented, and when we utilize the most modern technologies to control our borders, the “physical wall” will become irrelevant.

At this point we have no choice but to continue with the border infrastructure to keep out drug trafficker, criminal and terrorist elements, but we should make every effort to use the most modern technologies for border control.

Also, our neighboring countries, Mexico and Canada, should have been treated in a preferential manner based on the nearly two century-old Monroe doctrine – “America for Americans”. No one has the right to demand that we apply universally policies to the entire world when our own neighbors are first in line.

Our military stationed around the world projects our economic political influence. But, many Americans today raise a question, how long can we afford to be the world policeman and what is the price we are willing to pay for such a privileged status.

The easiest way to reduce the strain on our resources, is to reduce the military under command. We can pursue such a course by the use of the most advanced technologies and by weaponizing each fighting soldier. Then, we can do much more with a smaller force. But in the end, it seems that we must also alter our strategies of conflict resolution to eliminate existing and new threats. A classic example is the development of a new entrepreneurial military strategies of A2/AD which stands for Anti-Access/Area Denial, where technological innovations create low cost solutions to engage our adversaries.

We must also push to the limits our intelligence and surveillance capabilities before we send new soldiers into faraway places. The countries of economic or political interest should be won not by our soldiers on the ground, but by offering the countries of interest cooperation in a variety of non-military programs and soft diplomatic solutions. I believe that this is the most effective strategy before we attempt to “conquer and divide”.

Let’s “Make America Proud Again”!
