These immigrants - including illegal aliens - have been made eligible for various kinds of public assistance, including housing, education, Social Security, and legal services. This unconstitutional drain on the federal treasury is having a severe and adverse impact on our economy, increasing the cost of government at federal, state, and local levels, adding to the tax burden, and stressing the fabric of society. The mass importation of people with low standards of living threatens the wage structure of the American worker and the labor balance in our country.” (Constitution Party Platform, constitutionparty/) Therefore be it Resolved, that the Constitution Party of Alabama State Committee supports legislation that will oppose the provision of welfare subsidies and other taxpayer-supported benefits to illegal aliens.
