March on the Border Against Illegal Immigration


Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.

The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” violate Mexican law, are not “physically or mentally healthy” or lack the “necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents.

Action Alert chris chmielenski​ 20 Congressional Races to watch that could impact the immigration "balance of power"

With Election Day just a few days away, it's a good time to take a look at some of the races NumbersUSA has been monitoring and will watch closely on election night. With most of the focus on the Presidential race, there hasn't been as much coverage of the Congressional races, but here are 20 races that could have an impact on the immigration "balance of power" in the House and Senate. What's at stake? Redistricting has caused close races for the chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, the likely chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee, and a few long-time Members who have earned True Reformer status. Also, an incumbent Senator with one of the highest career grades in Congress faces a tough challenge from a well-known Congresswoman. For a full listing of all the races with a brief description, check out my blog: https://www.numbersusa.com/content/nusablog/cchmielenski/november-1-2012/20-congressional- races-watch-immigration-impact.html HERE'S A LISTING OF THE TOP SENATE RACES...

Illegal aliens are being used as organized volunteers in get out the vote campaigns. When President Obama illegally handed out temporary amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, he made the illegal population the largest stakeholders in the election - essentially creating a massive get-out-the-vote for amnesty machine. The irony: none of these people can legally vote! And none have the right to be here! "We can't vote but we can get people to vote who support our issues. It's our way to participate in this democracy," said Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez of Brazil in one account about this effort. Illegal aliens who hold temporary amnesty and work authorization (and those who hope to in the future) depend on the reelection of this president to make their stays permanent. From running phone banks to going door to door and approaching people on the street, illegal immigrants are campaigning for amnesty supporting politicians from the president down to local representatives. This is a bold move for people who are not supposed to be here in the first place. Help FAIR take action to stop illegal aliens lobbying for votes today! ​ If you have any doubts about where your Congress representatives stand on immigration, I encourage you to check out FAIR's Voting Report. You can be sure that FAIR did our part to keep amnesty initiatives from being introduced in the 112th Congress, but see for yourself how your representative voted on other immigration issues. As the election nears, FAIR urgently needs your help to distribute this informative report. Illegal aliens have too much at stake and will be relentless in getting amnesty-supporters in office. Will you help us get this report in the hands of millions of Americans before Election Day by donating $25, $50, $100 or more today? I hope I can count on you in this critical stretch before next Tuesday! Please forward to a friend to help us get this message out. Sincerely, Dan Stein, President P.S. FAIR needs your help today. I hope you’ll make a generous donation to support our efforts to circulate this report to millions before the election. P.P.S. You can also mail tax-deductible contributions to FAIR at 25 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Suite 330, Washington D.C. 20001, Attn: Membership.

Relatives of family killed in Nebraska crash sue truckers, companies
By Charlie Morasch, Land Line contributing writer
A multiple car and truck fatality from September involving allegations of hours-of-service violations and possible language barriers has resulted in a civil lawsuit.

The parents of Diana and Christopher Schmidt, who were killed in the wreck, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Nebraska. Donna Costley, Christopher Schmidt’s mother, and Bradley Baumann and Nancy Baumann, who are Diana Schmidt’s parents, are listed as plaintiffs, along with the estates of all four members of the Schmidt family who died in the wreck.

The suit names as defendants truck drivers Josef Slezak, Vladimir Zhukov, and their companies, AKI Trucking and Swift-Truck Lines Ltd.

The wrecks occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 9, after a disabled truck stopped in the right westbound lane of Interstate 80 between mile markers 38 and 39. As traffic backed up in the westbound lanes, a truck driven by 36-year-old Josef Slezak of River Grove, IL, slammed into a 2010 Ford Mustang driven by Christopher Schmidt, 30, of Gaithersburg, MD.

The force of the wreck pushed Schmidt’s Mustang into a Toyota Camry that was driven by Diana Schmidt, Christopher Schmidt’s wife, who was 30 weeks pregnant. The Camry was pushed underneath a truck directly in front of it driven by William David Wiener of Algona, IA, who drove for Cornpatch Express of Emmetsburg, IA. Conner Schmidt, 2, and Samual Schmidt, 3, were passengers in the Camry. All occupants of both cars died in the wrecks.

The lawsuit alleges that Slezak violated hours-of-service rules enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration by more than three hours.

Slezak, an Illinois resident and citizen of the Czech Republic, was charged with four counts of manslaughter and four counts of motor vehicle homicide, though that charge has been amended to reflect an additional count of vehicular homicide due to the death of Diana Schmidt’s unborn child. He was jailed on $1 million bond.

According to the FMCSA’s website, AKI Trucking Inc., Slezak’s carrier, was rated at 80.9 percent for FMCSA’s Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories, above the 65 percent line that triggers federal intervention. The company had been cited for 18 fatigued driving violations, including most recently in late July in California when one of its drivers was cited for violating state and local hours-of-service laws.

AKI Trucking hadn’t been involved in a fatal wreck in the last 24 months, FMCSA’s records show.

Soon after the wrecks, Slezak spoke to investigators through an interpreter, though a prosecutor told Land Line in September he didn’t believe the language issue played a factor in the crash.

We have posted the latest monthly issue of the North Carolina Crime Report by Suspected Illegal Aliens on our website; www.NCFIRE.info. This report covers crimes by suspected illegal aliens in NC for the month of October. It is 138 pages long! It can be viewed online as a pdf file here: http://ncfire.info/october2012.pdf. This month, after listing the most egregious crimes statewide, we focused on the criminal court cases in Harnett, Mecklenburg, Lee, Forsyth, Brunswick, Chatham, Cabarrus, Iredell, Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Johnston, Robeson and Duplin Counties. The amount of monthly crimes by suspected illegal aliens in NC is staggering. These crimes are not compiled in any statewide database and that tends to make the problem look smaller than it really is. By issuing these reports, our goal is to draw attention to the size and scope of the problem in NC. This is not ALL of the crimes by suspected illegal aliens in NC and we do not report every crime, in every county, each month. There is simply not enough time to enter it all! That is the magnitude of the problem we are facing. You can view the past 3 years worth of monthly NC crime reports on our "Crime Report Archives" page here: http://ncfire.info/crimearchives.htm This ongoing illegal alien crime wave against NC citizens has got to stop. It is killing us: financially, emotionally and physically. James Johnson President-NCFIRE North Carolinians For Immigration Reform and Enforcement www.NCFIRE.info ​ ​

Overview

Immigration law falls under federal code, so immigration enforcement falls under the federal government's domain. But several states and local municipalities have taken immigration enforcement into their own hands by passing legislation that prevents illegal aliens from accessing certain public benefits, i.e., in-state tuition rates and driver's licenses.

Update

Michigan Sec. of State Denies Driver’s Licenses to Executive Amnesty Recipients

Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 12:08 PM EST - posted on NumbersUSA

Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson has decided not to issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens that obtain deportation amnesty and a work permit under the Obama Administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Her decision sparked a protest by pro-illegal alien groups, which may challenge her decision.
Michigan law requires a non-citizen to provide "documents demonstrating his or her legal presence in the United States" in order to obtain a driver's license or ID card. The Secretary of State’s office recently updated it guidelines to indicate DACA designation is not sufficient. Officials cite information from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services web site which says, "Deferred action does not provide an individual with lawful status."
Michigan State Rep. Dave Agema, a long-time proponent of state immigration enforcement legislation, praised Secretary Johnson’s decision. In a letter to the editor published in the Grand Rapids Press, he said, “I applaud Ruth Johnson for doing the right thing, and I hope our legislature has the guts to pass E-Verify for all our government contractors to protect our jobs…Drivers licenses open doors to flights, government buildings, etc., making illegals a security risk…Illegal immigration is costing Michigan taxpayers nearly one billion dollars a year on healthcare, education, welfare jails and human services, not to mention our security and jobs taken by illegals. Many work in construction like drywall, roofing, siding, landscaping, etc. These are jobs our citizens need.

Action Update roy beck​ Election gave us pretty much the same players in Washington the next 2 years -- but our immigration position seems slightly improved on net

No question that the results were quite mixed for those of us desiring rational, pro-worker immigration policies. But I believe the net puts us in a somewhat stronger position the next two years than in the last two years. Let's take a first look. Improvements in the Senate There were some good signs in key races of voters sticking with candidates for Congress who recognize that immigration policies have profound effects on the ability of millions of American workers to earn a liveable wage -- or even to have a job. NEVADA: The result here may be most important because it calls into question an arguing point many pundits are trying to make this morning about the growing Hispanic vote. Nevada has a gigantic and rapidly growing Hispanic electorate and was given the choice between two sitting Members of Congress with totally different approaches on immigration and U.S. jobs. Rep. Shelley Berkely has earned a D-minus for her preference of U.S. jobs going to illegal aliens and to additional immigrant workers. She was going up against Dean Heller who just recently left the U.S. House upon being appointed to fill out the Senate term until this election. Heller has earned an A+ for his immigration policy preference for U.S. workers taking U.S. jobs. Nevada chose Heller, the pro-enforcement candidate. INDIANA: The primaries had already ensured that Indiana would improve the Senate for us. State Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R) guaranteed a positive change when he defeated long-time incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar (R) in the primary, using immigration as one of his key issues. Lugar has the worst anti-worker immigration record of Senate Republicans. Mourdock filled out our NumbersUSA survey and promised to support all of our top priorities in enforcement and in reductions in worker importation. But this race was one in which American workers couldn't lose because the Democrats nominated Rep. Joe Donnelly, the Democrat with the third best immigration-reduction grade in all of Congress. Donnelly's victory makes him part of our bi-partisan firewall against the massive increases in the legal foreign workforce that are favored by the Democratic Majority Leader in the Senate (Harry Reid). It is important to remember that the Dream Act amnesty was defeated in 2010 because of five Democratic Senators. TEXAS: Ted Cruz easily won the seat long held by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who has not been terrible on immigration but is generally a wishy-washy C-Grade politician who seemed always looking for a way to undercut American workers for the sake of employers seeking to pay lower wages. The only place she was reliably good was on border issues. But Cruz qualified as one of NumbersUSA's True Reformers, having filled out our survey pledging to work to eliminate chain migration, visa lottery and birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, while supporting mandatory E-Verify and a lot more enforcement. Cruz won a Republican primary against an establishment-backed opponent out of the George Bush mold of anti-worker immigration policies. Out-spoken champions survive relentless targeting Gigantic amounts of money were expended by open-borders groups to embarrass two of the most out-spoken opponents of illegal immigration. They failed. Rep. Steve King was easily re-elected in a much-tougher re-drawn district against the wife of a popular former governor. He stands as a likely next chairman of the U.S. House immigration subcommittee and has been nearly perfect in his pro-active support for immigration policies that benefit the American worker. Sheriff Joe was also easily re-elected in Arizona. Nobody's political scalp was more prized and sought by the open-borders advocates. Democratic allies Strong pro-enforcement records seemed to help Democratic incumbents in tough races. We will look to them to play important roles in bi-partisan resistance to the sweeping increases in foreign workers that Pres. Obama called for in his campaign. In addition to the new Sen. Donnelly (the third best Democrat in Congress): Sen. John Tester (D) of Montana won re-election in a largely Republican state. The fact that he has the best immigration-reduction grade of any Senate Democrat surely helped him Rep. John Barrow surprised perhaps even himself by surviving once again in a highly conservative Georgia district. He has the second best Democratic immigration-reduction record in Congress. Rep. Jim Matheson gained re-election in a tough re-drawn district over Mia Love who was something of a national celebrity candidate in the Republican Party. But Love's positions on immigration weren't clear, while Matheson's record in Congress has been improving, moving him into the fourth best Democratic immigration-reduction grade over the last four years. For example, he bucked Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2010 and voted against the DREAM Act amnesty. 2013 Obama-Reid-Boehner Rule vs. 2012 Obama-Reid-Boehner Rule Obviously, the presidential race is what everybody most wants to talk about today. We have to deal with the fact that a Romney victory would have meant that the White House would have been occupied by somebody who campaigned on taking U.S. jobs away from illegal foreign visitors and giving them to unemployed Americans. The news media almost universally called that pro-worker position "harsh." The fact that Hispanic American workers would have benefitted the most and the fastest from Romney's promise of mandatory E-Verify was obscured not only by the media's labeling it anti-Hispanic but also by Romney's failure to clearly articulate the benefits of his pro-enforcement positions. Instead, the presidency will continue to be held by Obama, who seemed to suggest in the debates that he doesn't want any illegal foreign workers (other than dangerous criminals) to ever leave. The federal lawsuit that NumbersUSA is funding will certainly be even more important in the coming months as the courts decide whether federal immigration agents should be required to obey orders from the Obama Administration that they disobey the immigration laws Congress has passed. Because Obama ran on an anti-enforcement platform and Romney on a pro-enforcement platform, lots of pundits today are rushing to say that every presidential candidate in the future will have to run on a platform of opening up U.S. jobs to foreign-worker competition because nobody can win without a high percentage of the growing Hispanic vote and because Hispanics insist on open-borders policies. This is an insult to Hispanic Americans, as well as a betrayal of all the American workers who struggle to earn decent wages and to even have a job. The fact is that in most of the 20 states with the highest Hispanic voting share, the pro-enforcement Romney did much better in 2012 than the non-enforcement GOP nominee John McCain did in 2008. (This is based on the spreads between DEM & GOP in each year.) Obama will be entering his second term with a far smaller margin of votes than in 2008 and with less of any kind of mandate. I imagine he will be more aggressive this time in pursuing his higher-foreign-worker agenda, but he will have less to work with. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) will still be running the Senate while Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will still be running the House. This is a combination that prevented legislation that would worsen immigration policies in 2011 and 2012. It also was a combination that prevented bills to improve the policies. How they and other key congressional leaders react to various immigration initiatives will have a lot to do with how voters express themselves directly to those politicians. That will be yours and our job, and now is no time to let up. Just as for the last two years, we will have to mobilize Americans regularly and vigorously to stop this triad from imposing further harm on American workers through reckless immigration policies. You and we have been fighting against these kinds of forces since 2001, regardless of the Party in power, and have stopped all amnesties every single year. This is no time to break the streak.

Action Update Roy Beck​ Polling shows Romney's pro-enforcement more popular than Obama's pro-amnesty -- Romney lost for reasons other than immigration

Let me arm you with some very important numbers to resist a frantic push today by open-borders-leaning journalists and pundits to persuade congressional Republicans to help Pres. Obama pass a mass amnesty early next year. Their argument is that Gov. Romney's highly public support for immigration enforcement cost him the election. And they suggest that Pres. Obama's support for legalizing illegal aliens was a much more popular position with voters. Many Bush-era-retreads are part of the loud chorus of demands that Republicans will improve their popularity if they stop blocking amnesties. Not so, according to exit polling by The Polling Company/Woman Trend. STARTLING EXIT POLL FINDING The scientific national sampling of Americans after they voted found 50% had voted for Obama and 47% for Romney (close to the actual results). And it asked the voters this question: QUESTION: In this election, were you more inclined to vote for candidates who favor . . . (a) Providing an opportunity for illegal immigrants to become legal and remain in the country (b) Enforcing and strengthening laws against illegal immigration to encourage them to return home (c) Not making any changes to the current immigration law The poll was commissioned by the Federation for American Immigration Reform. FAIR supports the (b) attrition through enforcement option, but the wording of the poll was straightforward and neutral. Only 31% of voters said they were more inclined toward candidates who favor the (a) legalization option. That was Obama's position. But 52% of voters said they were more inclined toward candidates who favored the (b) enforcement option, which was Romney's position. Clearly, Romney was advocating the more popular position by backing enforcement to cause illegal aliens to go home. And the results indicate that lots of people voted for Obama despite his position on legalization. For a fine overview of other polling and analysis of the media's illogical conclusions from this election, be sure to read (and comment on) Jeremy's blog. PRO-Enforcement Romney Had Better 'Spreads' Than NON-Enforcement McCain In Most High-Hispanic States With so much attention being given to Hispanic voting in the states, we wanted to see how such a strong pro-enforcement candidate like Romney did in the 20 states with the highest percentage of Hispanic voters. The question on positions is not really about how a position might affect a single demographic group but what might be the overall net effect among all voters of that state. So, we compared Romney's overall voter performance in those 20 states with that of the Republican nominee in 2008. While Romney ran as a decided PRO-enforcement candidate pushing especially for interior enforcement to keep illegal aliens from jobs and benefits, John McCain ran as a NON-enforcement candidate. He didn't oppose enforcement (like Obama), but he didn't advocate it. What we found was that PRO-enforcement Romney significantly improved his "spread" in those high-Hispanic states, over that of NON-enforcement McCain. For example, Obama's spread over McCain in Nevada was 12%. That means his share of the vote was 12 percentage points higher than McCain's. But Obama's Nevada spread over Romney was 6%. The PRO-enforcement Romney improved the spread by 6 points. For whatever reasons, Romney's heavy pro-enforcement positions did not end up causing him to do worse than McCain who didn't push enforcement. In Arizona, native-son McCain's spread over Obama was 9%. Romney's spread was 12%. So, Romney improved the GOP's Arizona spread by 3 points. In 16 of the top 20 Hispanic states, Romney improved on McCain's spread with Obama: Utah by 19 points Illinois by 9 points Kansas by 7 points Nevada by 6 points Connecticut by 6 points Colorado by 5 points New Mexico by 5 points Washington by 5 points Texas by 5 points California by 3 points Arizona by 3 points Georgia by 3 points Hawaii by 3 points Florida by 2 points Maryland by 1 point There was no change in the spread in New York and Rhode Island. Romney's spread was worse than McCain's by 2 points in New Jersey and by 3 points in Idaho. You may have noticed that there aren't many swing states in that list. That's because Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire and other highly competitive states have very small Hispanic electorates. It would be foolish to conclude that Romney's pro-enforcement positions were the primary cause of his improvement over McCain. But the open-borders journalists and pundits seem to be trying to say the opposite -- that maybe Romney lost some of these states because of his pro-enforcement positions even though he actually had some significant improvements over the non-enforcement GOP candidate in the last election. For a much more thoughtful look at how issues other than immigration are the reason for Republicans' difficulty with Hispanic voters, read this blog in Slate. POLL SHOWS HISPANICS SUPPORT THE E-VERIFY THAT CONGRESSIONAL GOP LEADERS CONTINUE TO BLOCK Whether or not most Hispanic voters were able to find their way through all the media bombast, hyperbole and misdirection about Romney's immigration stance, a poll last month shows that most Hispanic voters suppport Romney's key plank of mandating E-Verify to keep illegal aliens from getting U.S. jobs. Perhaps Romney didn't communicate his position adeptly enough. Even more likely is that most Hispanic voters marked their ballots based on a host of other issues in their choice for president. But Republicans failed to get the votes of anywhere near the number of Hispanic Americans who favor mandatory E-Verify. A Pulse Opinion Research poll released last month found 66% of Hispanic voters favoring mandatory E-Verify. The question was: Do you support or oppose requiring that every employer use E-Verify to electronically ensure that no U.S. job goes to illegal immigrants in the future? 75% of all voters said YES. 69% of Hispanic voters said YES. The majority of Romney's immigration policy was just that. Mandatory E-Verify was nearly the whole basis of what he meant by "self-deportation." What he explained was that he would take away the jobs magnet and mainly let illegal immigrants make their own decisions about moving back home. The question just before the E-Verify question was: Do you believe most parents around the world would stop bringing their children illegally to this country if they thought finding a job was doubtful? 66% of all voters said YES. 70% of Hispanic voters said YES. Can these results be in the ballpark? Well, on the survey's question of sympathizing with so-called Dream-Act illegal immigrants, the result for Hispanic voters was 62%, with only 8% saying "not at all sympathetic." This poll did not over-sample Hispanics, so the margin of error was fairly high. Nonetheless, the key point here is that at least half of Hispanic voters recognize that illegal immigration is bad for the country and that taking away the jobs magnet with mandatory E-Verify is a great way to slow it down. Thus, taking a stand for mandatory E-Verify should not hurt a candidate, especially Republicans who rarely get more than 33% of Hispanic votes. Any candidate -- Republican or Democrat -- has an opportunity to improve standing with Hispanic voters by connecting support for E-Verify to tackling high unemployment among Hispanic Americans. BUT DO WE FURTHER LOOSEN THE LABOR MARKET DURING TIMES OF HIGH JOBLESSNESS AND STAGNANT WAGES? Finally, we must ask the pundits why they are insisting on loosening the labor market and further driving down the value of labor for our American workers. Does morality ever enter the minds of these political scribblers? America has a gigantic excess supply of workers. Even if increasing that supply would gain some short-term political advantage, is that really worth causing more suffering among the victims of that over-supply? When House Speaker Boehner (R) and Majority Leader Cantor (R) say they don't want to hear any more enforcement talk from their Republican Members, all of you have to insist that your own Republican Congressman (if you have one) talks morality and what is right for American workers. When Senate Majority Leader Reid promises that he will push a foreign-worker-increase bill through next year, all of you have to insist that your own Democratic Senator (if you have one) talks morality and what is right for American workers. We cannot let up in our fight for less immigration and a tighter labor market while 20 million of our fellow Americans want a full-time job but can't find one, and when many millions more are stuck with declining real wages that already are barely able to support a family. I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE THROUGH THE YEARS TO SHOW THIS KIND OF COMPASSION FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS, www.numbersusa.com

Urgent Action roy beck​ Speaker Boehner says Republicans will help Pres. Obama pass 'comprehensive immigration reform. Phone your reaction now.

I know you must be as livid or concerned as all of us here by the comments of the Republican leadership in the U.S. House, suggesting willingness to help Pres. Obama pass another amnesty for illegal aliens so they can compete in the legal jobs market against beleaguered Americans. Here's your opportunity to let Boehner, Cantor and other leaders know that they have stepped into a real mess with their post-election comments. GOP Leaders Need To Hear Response This Afternoon Comments suggesting amnesty from Boehner & Cantor were trial balloons. Extremely important that they hear that people are sticking pins in them​ Click on the red button to find the phone numbers of top House GOP leaders and the talking points you can choose from. Just a quick call to express your concern will do wonders in slowing down these leaders from rushing into an amnesty agreement. Call Boehner & Other GOP Leaders or click https://www.numbersusa.com/phones?ID=14248 Because Gov. Romney ran on a strong pro-enforcement, anti-illegal immigration platform and performed more poorly with Hispanic voters than past Republican candidates, many national GOP leaders are saying the House Republican majority must approve an amnesty to attract more Hispanic votes in future elections. The top Republican -- Speaker John Boehner -- is making gigantic news by rushing out to show his openness to this kind of thinking: "It's an important issue that I think oughta be dealt with. There's- this issue has been around far too long. And while- I'm- believe it's important for us to secure our borders and to enforce our laws- I think a comprehensive approach is long overdue. And I'm confident- that- the president, myself, others- can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all."​ Lest anybody doubt whether "comprehensive" means what it usually means (AMNESTY) or that GOP leaders are thinking much bigger than just younger illegal aliens, Majority Leader Eric Cantor's spokesman issued this comment: "We understand that we can't keep kicking this can down the road.... We're going to address the 11 million people."​ He was referring to the official estimate of ALL illegal aliens in the country. The good news is that our Capitol Hill Team is finding strong evidence that the recently re-elected Republican majority in the House is not in much of a mood to follow their leaders over the amnesty cliff. And some are starting to publicly decry their leaders talking like this before even checking with their Members. Once you get past the Republicans who gain money or power from corporations seeking cheaper labor, most Republicans can see the illogic behind increasing the number of voters who lean at least 2-1 Democratic. A number of conservative commentators are pointing out the following: Illegal aliens who are given an amnesty will not thank Republicans for it. They didn't thank Republicans when Ronald Reagan signed the first amnesty in 1986. In the very next election, Hispanics voted in their highest numbers yet for the Democratic ticket. Republicans went along with six other smaller amnesties in the 1990s. They also went along with bringing in another 1 million immigrants every year. None of these groups of immigrants thanked Republicans by evenly splitting their votes. Nearly every immigrant group consistently votes at least 2-1 for Democrats, because Democrats always out-promise government programs to immigrants who on average are lower income than other Americans. History has shown that immigrant groups only start turning toward Republican candidates after the flow of new immigrants from their home country is shut off, allowing them to really begin to assimilate. Democrats like retiring Rep. Barney Frank have been open about wanting high immigration to increase the number of Democratic voters. One can understand -- although not respect -- Democrats who push down the wages of American workers for their own political gain. But it makes no sense for Republicans to also work to harm American workers through high immigration when it only increases the Democratic voter advantage. Boehner's idea sounds like he wants to try to get immigrants to start voting 6-4 against Republicans instead of 7-3, while adding millions more people who will also vote 6-4 against Republicans. This is more than political insanity -- it's political suicide. ​ Some of those ideas may be worth conveying to Republican House leaders. PLEASE MAKE THE PHONE CALL. THANKS.

Immigration Ballot Measures a Mixed Bag

Montana voters approved a referendum that will curtail fiscal problems related to illegal immigration while Maryland voters passed an in-state tuition referendum that will add to the state’s fiscal difficulties. Show More Montana voters approved a referendum that will curtail fiscal problems related to illegal immigration while Maryland voters passed an in-state tuition referendum that will add to the state’s fiscal difficulties.The Montana referendum -- approved by a 79-21 margin -- requires proof of citizenship or lawful alien status in order to receive certain services, including state licenses, employment in state agencies, unemployment or disability benefits, or state aid for university students.

Response to "Impact of Latino voters is growing" by Elizabeth Aguilera, 11-9-12

Ana Maus-San Diego,California
9:27 AM

... to union, elizabeth.agui.
As a Latina immigrant myself, I disagree with you and all the open border advocates. You all insist on generalizing and dump the illegals in the same group of legal immigrants, and that is wrong. We are immigrants, they are illegals or illegal immigrants, but by calling all immigrants, you all put the fear on ignorant immigrants, telling them that been anti-illegal immigrant is been anti-immigrant, and you all know that is not the case, but continue doing it to favor your case and to stirred ignorant immigrant to your side.
This is the land of opportunity for all of those who have done things right and respect the laws, the rest took a chance when they choose to break the laws and come illegally any way. They knew the risk they were taking by doing so, and now, it should not be any special treatment for them, but send them home.
The problem to America is one alone, we need to enforce the OATH of citizenship and make dual citizenship illegal, to make sure, that all those who become Americans, do so for loyalty to the country and not for the power of the vote, to push their agendas on the rest of us. The OATH ask for loyalty to one country only, THE UNITE STATES OF AMERICA, and they all raise their hands and swear to do it, when a lot of them do not mean to do so at all.
They go out and continue their loyalty to their country of origin and even vote on their political elections, on American territory and that needs to stop, we can not have divided loyalty like that and we have to demand the OATH to be enforce and this practices to stop.
As a Latina immigrant who live in the two cultures, I know for a fact, that many immigrants, specially Mexicans, because they are very nationalistic did not become Americans, until Mexico give them the right to dual citizenship, and after they gave it to them, they become Americans for the power of the vote, but not for loyalty and that is what is putting this country down.
Now, just because the Latino vote is now 10%, does not make a mandate for amnesty. I am part of that 10% and so are many more I know, and we, as well as the majority of Americans, do not support amnesty, regardless of what you all want to call it. We live in a democracy, where the majority prevail or at least that is the way it should be.
Now the election, illegal immigration is again influencing elections, by been counted on all census, that are forbidden to ask for legal status and been counted to favor one party, for redistricting and even election delegates of that state, and that is a big problem, specially here in CA, where I put the illegal immigration at on and about 10 millions.
This country is no longer the country I embrace 50 years ago and we owe that to the new wave of immigrants, specially the illegal ones and that needs to stop, for the sake of our country.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .

--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClane. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or"We Are the World".

--We'll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.

--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & Jane Fonda with you.

P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

I dont post these very often but if you can afford it Please donate

Super-PAC formed to push for AMNESTY!NumbersUSA out-funded 10-1 by Open-Borders Lobby!​ 2-For-1 donation match offer renewed!​ or click https://www.numbersusa.com/donate Dear Jim, Would you believe me if I told you that some powerful Republican fundraisers have joined forces to help President Obama keep his promise to pass "comprehensive immigration reform"? They have teamed up to form a new super-PAC to try to buy lawmakers' support for amnesty. The good news is that most of our allies in both parties in Congress won re-election and you can influence them to reject the bait. Washington lawyer Charlie Spies raised over $100 million for Mitt Romney in the last election. He's working with former Bush Treasury Secretary Carlos Gutierrez to target our allies in Congress! Together, they intend to convince Republicans that the way to start winning elections is by selling out the American public and granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. or click https://www.numbersusa.com/donate "This is not small ball," Gutierrez said. "We're serious, and we are going to push the debates on immigration reform to a place where I believe the Republican Party should be in the 21st century." NumbersUSA is not a PAC. We can't buy political candidates the way they can. But we can fight back. The PACs are promising to help politicians get re-elected by giving candidates cash to run reelection campaigns. Our job is to remind them of the demands of the American people who voted for them and who control their political destiny. And right now we're reminding some panicky Congressmen that adding millions of illegal aliens to the voter rolls is hardly a winning strategy. They aren't going to hear that from the news media, most of whom are part of the full-court press for an amnesty. We're never going to raise the hundred million dollars that the PACs will. We don't need to. But we do need to raise money to attract hundreds of thousands of new activists, to influence new bills, and to respond to new legislative pushes by sending millions of your messages to Congress. or click https://www.numbersusa.com/donate The good news is that some help is on the way. Several exceptionally generous individuals and foundations have lined up to give us grants. But, for various tax and foundation rules, these donors can't give us a dime unless we first raise money from individual citizens like you. For every dollar you give, they can give us two. That means for every $25 raised from people like you, we can spend $75 to fight against amnesty for illegal aliens. For every $100, we can spend $300. Together, we can influence lawmakers in Washington to have the confidence they need to turn down the super-PACs and ignore the President's hardball politics. We'll have lots of opportunities to fax, call, or meet your congressmen in the coming months, as the legislation winds its way through Congress. But right now we have an opportunity to triple your donations to make sure we have the financial resources we need to stop this push for amnesty in its tracks. or click https://www.numbersusa.com/donate Remember: For every $25 you send us, we can raise another $50. For every $50, we get another $100 And for every $100 gift, the large donors are standing by to add an additional $200! ​ You Can Donate 4 Ways 1) On-line credit card. We take all major cards. 2) Give by PayPal. 3) Check -- see the instructions and a form to print out and send with your check. 4) Call (877) 885-7733 to arrange a wire transfer, stock donation, or to make a credit card donation over the phone. If our office is closed, please leave the time and your phone number and we will call back. Keep the faith, and don't ever give up! Jim Robb Vice President, Operations jimrobb@NumbersUSA.com P. S.
