(MI) GOP Senate hopefuls attack UN, Federal Reserve, immigration
Five of the candidates who hope to be the Republican Party’s nominee for the U.S. Senate sought the endorsement of a coalition of Michigan Tea Party groups Saturday by attacking the Federal Reserve, the United Nations, taxes and children of illegal immigrants.
All five called for at least an audit – and probably the abolition – of the Federal Reserve. “The Federal Reserve is a rogue agency,” Hekman said. He said it should be audited and eliminated. The others echoed his point.
The United Nations came in for direct attacks from the Republicans. Accusing the international body of attempting to erode U.S. sovereignty, all five called for an end to U.S. participation. Durant said it should be replaced with a privately funded organization to promote U.S. values to the rest of the world.
Glenn called for construction of a fence on the U.S. – Mexico border. “We need to man it with troops and border patrols,” he said. He said the 14th Amendment’s guarantee that people born in the United States are U.S. citizens should apply “only if your parents are legal residents or citizens.”
Boman said children of undocumented immigrants should be citizens – once they’re adults. “If their parents are here illegally, they must go home,” he said, “and return when they are adults.”

That's the first time I've seen the suggestion to privatize the UN.
One of the comments asks why stop with abolishing the Federal Reserve. They should go all the way and abolish money. The barter system worked quite well in the Stone Age.
