<!--END STORY CREDIT/RSS--><!--STORY CONTENT-->After more than two decades on the books, a little-known yet strictly enforced federal law barring foreigners with HIV or AIDS from entering the country is on its way out.
Tucked in a bill pledging $48 billion to combat the disease, signed into law by President Bush last week, was language stripping the provision from federal immigration law.
But that change didn't fully lift the entry ban on visitors with HIV or AIDS, which applies whether they're on tourist jaunts or seeking longer stays. The secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services still needs to delete HIV from the agency's list of “communicable diseases of public health significance,” which includes tuberculosis, gonorrhea and leprosy.
An HHS spokeswoman declined to comment, noting administrators are still reviewing the new law. An April report from the Congressional Budget Office said that, based on information from HHS' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV will be dropped from the list and new regulations will be in place in two years.
Both immigrant and HIV awareness advocates, however, say the toughest hurdle has been cleared, that the lifting of the immigration provision has been a long time coming — politics finally catching up with medical knowledge.
“Today everyone knows that you can't get AIDS from sitting next to someone on an airplane or sharing a bathroom — American policy should reflect this,” said Victoria Neilson, legal director of Immigration Equality, a New York-based advocacy group that has led a years-long campaign against the ban.
In San Antonio, people in the HIV/AIDS community welcomed the new law, but noted that plenty of people here had already circumvented the travel ban, since the area has been a long-standing destination for unauthorized immigrants.
Jan Patterson, an infectious disease specialist in San Antonio, agreed that the ban has no scientific underpinning.
When HIV first surfaced, researchers didn't know how it was transmitted, but it has long been widely known that HIV is not easily contracted and that even people with full-blown AIDS can live for a long time, said Patterson, who has taught for 15 years at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
In a speech before signing the law, President Bush emphasized that “HIV's deadly stigma” is still a societal obstacle because patients still don't receive mainstream acceptance.
Congressional support for lifting the travel ban was bipartisan and strong, but not unanimous. Leading the opposition was U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith of San Antonio, the top Republican in the House Judiciary Committee. He sent a missive to his colleagues titled “The bill threatens the health and lives of Americans.”
The e-mail cited the CBO's April report predicting that revoking the travel ban would allow an estimated 4,300 immigrants with HIV to enter the country in 2013, increasing to 5,600 by 2018. Smith's message left out the report's estimate of the public cost of treating these immigrants and their children between 2010 and 2018: $83 million.
Smith warned the disease has killed more than 500,000 Americans despite improved treatment and that allowing infected foreigners in would increase public risk.
The Family Focused AIDS Clinical Treatment and Services, a 2,000-patient clinic in San Antonio, offers services to anyone diagnosed with HIV whether they're in the country legally or not, said its director, Tracy Talley.
So immigrants, particularly from Mexico, have made their way across the border for years just to get treatment unavailable back home, Talley said.
Many of them are referred to the clinic through a nonprofit aid group in San Antonio, Mujeres Unidas Contra el SIDA or United Women Against AIDS. The group's director, Yolanda Rodríguez-Escobar, concurred with Talley that most HIV immigrants here are border-crossers who might never have heard of the travel exclusion.
They'd prefer to enter the country legally for treatment if given the option, said one of them. But in Mexico, the stigma of the disease is so great, those infected have always simply assumed their only immigration option is to go underground, he said.
“Everybody in Mexico knows that if you've got HIV, you might as well forget trying to get papers,” said Antonio, 41, an unauthorized immigrant with HIV in San Antoni.
Howard Wallen of New York tried to get papers to bring his wife into the country from Ethiopia, where he met her in 2002, later marrying her and having a daughter. They soon found out Abeba's HIV status prevented her from coming to the United States with him.
She eventually died from AIDS — an outcome that might have been different had she received therapy in the United States, Wallen said.
“She deserved the dignity of that chance,” he said.
The HIV prohibition issue stretches beyond U.S. borders. The 11,000-member International AIDS Society counts 67 countries restricting the entry or stay of HIV patients.

I HOPE THESE PEOPLE WILL BE TREATED BY USING PRIVATE DONATIONS AND NOT TAXPAYER MONEY. THEN DEPORTED BACK.

Immigration Equality is a site devoted to advocating refugee status for foreign gays. Face dire poverty and inadequate medical care in your own 3rd world country or free medical care and protected group status in America - hmmm, which to choose? The problem with having conservative, Christian values is the number of groups who use your value system as a weapon against you even as they condemn and reject those values and the culture that makes them possible. Calls for compassion and generosity don't seem to have any effect on treatment of HIV positive people in the rest of the world. It isn't a judgement about lifestyle or fear of contagion that makes this law something we should raise hell about - it is economics. It makes no economic sense to import sick people in need of expensive medical care in rather than healthy hard-working people. Unless you are an organization that gets federal funds for providing assistance.

Immigration Equality is a site devoted to advocating refugee status for foreign gays. Face dire poverty and inadequate medical care in your own 3rd world country or free medical care and protected group status in America - hmmm, which to choose? The problem with having conservative, Christian values is the number of groups who use your value system as a weapon against you even as they condemn and reject those values and the culture that makes them possible. Calls for compassion and generosity don't seem to have any effect on treatment of HIV positive people in the rest of the world. It isn't a judgement about lifestyle or fear of contagion that makes this law something we should raise hell about - it is economics. It makes no economic sense to import sick people in need of expensive medical care in rather than healthy hard-working people. Unless you are an organization that gets federal funds for providing assistance.

Denver Voters Pass Initiative 100, Suit Possible
DENVER (AP) ― Opponents of a newly approved measure allowing Denver police to seize cars driven by illegal immigrants expect it to be challenged in court.
Voters approved Initiative 100 on Tuesday by 54 percent to 46 percent.
Lindsey Hodel of the Committee to Defeat 100 said Wednesday her group expects someone to file a court challenge but has not decided whether it will do so.
The measure allows police to impound cars driven by illegal immigrants, or by people who are "reasonably suspected" of being illegal immigrants.
It also requires police to seize cars driven by unlicensed drivers. State law bars illegal immigrants from getting licenses.
Supporters argue it will get unlicensed drivers off the street. Opponents say it will hurt working families and will be expensive and difficult to enforce. http://cbs4denver.com/politics/denver.illegal.immigrants.2.793913.html From a link thru http://fightpc.net

59 illegal immigrants arrested in raid
<!-- END New Embedded Player -->ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Calling it a possible threat to national security, federal immigration agents raided a parachute manufacturing company in Asheville on Tuesday.
They took into custody 59 illegal aliens who were working on the assembly line making parachutes for the U.S. armed forces.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge for Charlotte Del Richburg said removing the illegal immigrants plugged a gap at the Mill Manufacturing plant that could have been a threat to members of the military who used those parachutes.
NewsChannel 36 reporter Rad Berky was at the county jail in Henderson County when an I.C.E. bus arrived with those who had been picked up.
There were 40 women and 19 men who are now being processed. Agents say 29 of them, mostly women, will be released on their own recognisance for humanitarian reasons, meaning they have children or health issues.
The others will be held pending hearings in Atlanta that could lead to deportation.
Mills Manufacturing has made parachutes for the military since World War II. ICE agents say the company cooperated in the investigation and had been duped by false identity papers provided by the illegal aliens. http://www.wcnc.com/news/topstories/stories/wcnc-081208-krg-raid.3d28f5e3.html Thru a link at: http://fightpc.net

I was born in Venezuela, and now I am a proud American, it really offends me that immigrants do not learn English, it is an insult to the country that opened its arms to receive them.
I used to work as an interpreter Spanish-English and it bothered me to hear how this people used to feel so smart because they could get away with anything, how soft the American government was that pleased them in everything. </B></I></U>

When I call a number and they start with 'press one for English' or 'press two for Spanish', I press NEITHER. It will cause their system to get a 'live' person on the phone...something they wanted to avoid. And when the 'live' person answers, I immediately tell them I am in the U.S. and I always use English and wish they would respect our heritage. I have even called places where the recording said 'if you speak Spanish, press one', if you speak English, press two. Ruined my day to be relegated to second place in our great country.Keep fighting for a law establishing English as the language of the land! Kudos to those who make the effort!

I plead guilty to being a "racist", if by that term it is suggested that I believe that ENGLISH should and must be the only official language of our rapidly fracturing and disintegrating country. A common language--a common culture--a somewhat diverse but SHARED heritage. If that makes me a "racist", I proudly plead guilty!! Should the VFW have the right to insist on English only??? Hell yes!! We see the "balkanization" of America happening all around us, with the pestilence of illegals speaking all sorts of gibber-jabber instead of learning to speak English, the great unifier of the world's peoples and an absolute prerequisite if our country is to survive. We see Americans who love their land and their heritage turned out of jobs, away from universities, out of many opportunities, in order to give the invaders--the scum of many third world countries--priority over native born Americans. It really pisses me off to see this nonsense going on, and being fostered by our various local, state, and Fed. govts. If it makes me a "racist" to get upset over this unethical and unjust preference given to the low-lifes, then yes indeed--I am a proud "racist". And believe me--I'm not alone!!

I so enjoyed reading the article about this VFW Post and their demand callers speak English. They have every right to make that demand. I too get angry every time I try to call a business and hear the "press 1 for English." When I finally do reach someone, if they do not speak English then I ask for someone that does. I think it is an outrage that we have to put up with that. When are we going to take our country back?

To Old Vet: First, thank you for your service to the United States of America! Although you may not think of yourself as a scholar, you have a good grasp of our Founding Fathers' intent - more so than many of our illustrious governmental leaders have! You are so correct in stating, "You can only have a common understanding to 'provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity' with a common language to understand your fellow citizen in which to transact trade in good faith, for our personal liberty and our personal posterity." Our common language, English, is the glue that holds this Nation together. It should be made the official language of the USA. True patriots of this great nation, such as yourself, understand this. Others do not.

I find it appalling, how often the free speech canard is used by people who never read or studied the constitution, and the legal arguments concerning it. To begin with, I am no constitutional scholar or expert. I can say I have read the constitution and read legal commentary on it.
I have taken the first step towards understanding the document by reading it in its entirety and gaining a basic understanding of its intent. This is much more than those who use the free speech canard and much less than the founding fathers hoped for.
So what does the First Amendment say?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Notice the semicolon after “free exercise thereof;”
Definition of A semicolon ( ; ) is a punctuation mark indicating a long pause, binding two sentences more closely than if separated by a full-stop period.
The beginning statement is “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;” with the follow on “or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;”
Abridging meaning to reduce, condense or to deprive; cut off. Free speech is connected ones right to practice and establish religion, the free open exchange of ideas in speech and in the written word, meaning the press.
The constitution is a written document in plain English, this assumes the general language of the people is English allowing for a common understanding of all in this founding country. In order to claim the right to free speech you must understand the document and the rights and clauses with it. You must understand, read, write and speak English.
Next argument I will present is with the preamble of the constitution.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
To make this short, the preamble starts with “We the People of the United States” This means legal law-abiding citizens of this country.
An alien is a person of foreign stature, a citizen of a foreign nation, not of the United States. An Illegal Alien is a citizen of a foreign nation in the United States illegally and therefore does not have the protection of the laws pertaining to U.S. citizens. It's the same as felons who loose rights and privileges, naturally imbued under the constitution and common law
.
The next part “in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,” takes the consensus that we are have a common ground to work from. #1 being we all communicate and understand similarly, we all speak a common language. You cannot strive to continually create a perfect union, and establish justice, while insuring domestic Tranquility amongst the common people of this nation, unless you have a common language in which to establish laws, that people of this country can understand, hence common law.
Definition of Domestic; meaning of or pertaining to one's own or a particular country as apart from other countries. Definition of Tranquility; calmness; peacefulness; quiet; serenity.
You can only have a common understanding to “provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” with a common language to understand your fellow citizen in which to transact trade in good faith, for our personal liberty and our personal posterity.
So the VFW is acting accords to the preamble of our the United States constitution. Foreign speaking citizens of the U.S. and foreign citizens should speak, write and understand English in order to reside or transact business, whether in the short term or long term within the confines of the U.S.
I am an adopted German child of a U.S citizen soldier who spoke only German until before into the U.S. I gained legal citizenship and learned the English language. I volunteered to serve this country out of duty to what she and her people gave me. I am honor bound to uphold the oath defending the constitution not just for the term of my service but to the term of my life as long as I am a citizen of this country. The people of this country speak English in public discourse, as understood and intended by our founding fathers. Our U.S. laws, rules of laws etiquette and understandings, are written and discussed in English. An American citizen speaks English or tries hard to learn it to become one of us, a citizen of the United States. I speak German in Germany.
To simplify this, its the VFW's answering machine and therefore their property. Tthey have the right to say who uses it and how it is used.

Last Update: 8/13 10:15 pm
(Hamilton County Sheriff's Office) A police investigation in Cleves, Ohio led to a startling admission by an alleged illegal immigrant--that he has already been deported more than two dozen times.
It's a story you saw first on WCPO.com.
Jose Manuel Sanchez-Rojaz, 33, was arrested early Tuesday morning by a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy. Sanchez-Rojaz was wanted for questioning regarding stolen vehicle. Authorities say the vehicle was stolen around 4 a.m. in the 6300 block of State Route 128.
During the questioning, Sanchez-Rojaz allegedly gave the deputy a false name and birthday. He was charged with falsification and obstructing justice.
The deputy says Sanchez-Rojaz also told him he "had been deported multiple times by immigration." Authorities say he went on to elaborate that meant some "20-30 times."
Sanchez-Rojaz also allegedly told the deputy that immigration officials "know me very well."
Sanchez-Rojaz was taken to the Hamilton County Justice Center. Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement were also notified.
Sanchez-Rojaz is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. http://www.kypost.com/content/wcposhared/story.aspx?content_id=7f91de85-8eb1-4fa3-976f-52e99ddbf52e

According to Brady McCombs with the Arizona Daily Star, the [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]flights[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] to return illegal immigrants to their homeland are intended to break the smuggling cycle, thereby reducing the desert death count.
But evidence shows that the binational Interior Repatriation Program has not made any substantial difference in border smuggling or desert deaths. The principal beneficiary is AeroMexico which partners with CSI Aviation Services of Albuquerque, which has the federal contract. Two flights operate out of Tuscon International Airport daily according to [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]Immigration[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] and Customs Enforcement.
The U.S. has paid nearly the entire program tab. In 2007, Mexico paid only $190,000 to provide staffing for the program, and much of the money goes to AeroMexico.

"Why can't we use U.S. carriers?" asked Glenn Spencer, president of the Cochise County-based American Border Patrol, a non-governmental organization that keeps tabs on the Border Patrol.
"Probably Mexico won't let us. So, they are profiting off of our nonsense," he told the newspaper.
This discrepancy is likely explained by two factors, said Judith Gans, immigration-policy program manager at the University of Arizona's Udall Center for Studies in Public Safety.
"Who's paying reflects both the capacity to pay and the interest in stopping illegal Immigration," Gans says.
"Mexico wants to protect its citizens and keep them from dying in the desert, but receives millions of dollars from remittance sent home from Mexicans living illegally in the U.S." she said. The program is as much about foreign policy and diplomacy as it is about immigration, Gans told the newspaper.
"It's about trying to work with the Mexican government and do something cooperatively," she said.
According to the report, in the 362 days the voluntary flights were offered during 2004-2007, the bodies of 342 illegal immigrants were discovered along Arizona's stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border, nearly one per day. The yearly totals recorded by the U.S. Border Patrol show that the number of border deaths each year since the program started in 2004 has been higher than in any of the previous years.
"The repatriation efforts have not stopped deaths. There's not even a decrease in deaths," said Jennifer Allen, director of Border Action Network, a Tucson-based immigrants-rights organization. "This continues to be this deadly, exorbitantly costly shell game."
The program, which is voluntary, launched in July 2004 after the U.S. and Mexican governments agreed on terms. It is designed to separate illegal immigrants from smugglers by flying them to Mexico City rather than busing them to Nogales, where they are left at the border and susceptible to smugglers awaiting them with offers to try again. Those who participate also get [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]bus [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]transportation[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] from Mexico City to their hometowns in Mexico.
U. S. officials are satisfied with the results through the first four years, said Kelly Nantel, press secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has run the program since 2005. She doesn't understand how people can knock the program, designed to keep people safe. Without it, the death toll could be higher, she said.
More than 3,600 people participated in a recent two-week period.
"That's 3,600 individuals who we know are not subject to extreme, 120 degree temperatures in the desert or to traffickers and smugglers who don't have their safety in mind," she told the newspaper.
But Gans said the $51 million better could be spent on a program targeting the cause of illegal immigration. It also could have built as much as 20 miles of fencing on the border, said Spencer, of the American Border Patrol.
WND also has reported on San Francisco's decision to provide free, taxpayer-funded [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]plane [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]tickets[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] home for illegal aliens – with an open invitation to visit again.

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>mrl_initialize();</SCRIPT>New Nightmare Census Projections Reveal CHAIN MIGRATION Still Choking Our Future
By Roy Beck, Thursday, August 14, 2008, 10:03 AM
New Population Projections: 135 Million More Added by Mid-Century
Projections released today by the Census Bureau estimate that the U.S. population will rise to 439 million by 2050. The additional 135 million Americans, which are the result of historically high levels of immigration, will threaten nearly every aspect of life for not only the human residents but also the plant and animal inhabitants of this country.
By most measures, America's local, state and federal governments are unable to provide fully proficient infrastructures to handle our current population. Bridges, roads, schools, water and sewage systems, parks and other public infrastructure in many parts of the country are inadequate. Using immigration to force another hundred million people
into our communities over the next few decades is a recipe for deteriorating quality of life for the American people.
The most important fact to know about the new Census Bureau projection is that it is not inevitable. The projection merely shows what will happen if Congress does not begin quickly to reduce current peak immigration numbers back toward traditional average that ran at only about a quarter of today's level.
Until 1993, the Census Bureau had assumed that the latest giant wave of immigration that began in 1965 would subside and that U.S. population would level off somewhere around 300 million in the 21 century. But in late 1993, it began making projections with the assumption that Congress would continue to bow to the corporate lobbying for cheap labor. Overnight, the projection for 2050 jumped from around 300 million to 383 million, carrying gigantic implications for all the institutions of America. Through the years since, as Congress has allowed overall immigration to continue to rise far above 30 million a decade (and as the immigrant population adds another 9 million babies a decade), the Census Bureau has continually raised its projections until it now anticipates 440 million people in 2050.
While world population is projected to finally peak some time this century, U.S. population is on a trajectory to grow for centuries to come -- if Congress doesn't reduce immigration.
This population growth poses huge energy problems. Even if Americans somehow cut their energy consumption by one third over the next half-century, the projected growth in population would negate nearly all the gain.
The same is true about America's contribution of greenhouse gases. U.S. population growth threatens to erase all the gains the country might make over the next few decades in terms of per capita emissions, leaving the total U.S. contribution to greenhouse gases unchanged despite herculean efforts and expenses.
For four decades, Congress has forced high levels of immigration and high levels of population growth, adding more than 100 million people to our communities in the process and congesting our streets and schools while contributing to the deterioration of much of our infrastructure.
Americans should resolve today to push their favorite congressional candidates this fall to pledge to keep the new Census projection from happening by working to lower overall immigration to a traditional level.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones took out a half-page newspaper ad blasting the presidential candidate’s stance on illegal immigration, and similar ads are planned for other Ohio and New York newspapers.
“Before I'm a Republican, I'm an American, and this is an American issue, and I can say what I think,” Jones said. <TABLE class=storyAd cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=storyAdObj><!-- Begin Ad tag: square--><SCRIPT type=text/javascript>IBSYS.ad.AdManager.registerPosition({"iframe": false,"addlSz": "","element": "ad_N5F0074.3184","interstitials": false,"beginDate": "","endDate": "","getSect": "","name": "square","qString": "","width": "300","height": "250","section": "","useId": "","interactive": false,"useSameCategory": false,"topic": "","swSectionRoot": "","useZone": "","type": "DOM"**);</SCRIPT><SCRIPT src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/ibs.cin.politics/national;kw=politics+square;comp=false;ad=true;pgtype=detail;tile=2;sz=300x250;ord=1218729445003?"></SCRIPT><!-- Template Id = 1 Template Name = Banner Creative (Flash) --><!-- Copyright 2002 DoubleClick Inc., All rights reserved. --><SCRIPT src="http://m1.2mdn.net/879366/DartRichMedia_1_03.js"></SCRIPT><SCRIPT language=VBScript>dcmaxversion = 8dcminversion = 5DoOn Error Resume Nextplugin = (IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & dcmaxversion & "")))If plugin = true Then Exit Dodcmaxversion = dcmaxversion - 1Loop While dcmaxversion >= dcminversion</SCRIPT><OBJECT id=FLASH_AD codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=3,0,0,0 height=250 width=300 classid=clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>

In the ad, the sheriff asks McCain why voters hadn’t heard his policy on illegal immigration, an issue about which Jones is particularly outspoken.
“Are you avoiding this American issue?” the ad asks. “We are all ears.”
Jones, who wants the border sealed and illegal immigrants deported, said he feels McCain has sold out the Republican Party and the U.S. by remaining silent.
“Believe me, he won't discuss this issue at all in the next 90 days,” Jones said. “He doesn't want to talk about it at all, (and) I'm going to talk about it everywhere in Ohio.”
A campaign representative said Thursday that McCain would secure the border as president, but the Arizona Republican believes there should be a comprehensive solution for illegal immigration.
Jones said he did not know whether McCain would discuss the ad during his Tri-state fundraiser, but he added that he would not be there to find out.
“I'm not paying $5,000 to have my picture with McCain,” Jones said. “I'm going to stay home and watch paint dry.”
However, Jones said he hadn’t ruled out voting for McCain.

ICE Arrests 42 Illegal Aliens at Dulles Airport
Thursday, August 14, 2008, 1:05 PM
ICE has conducted its second raid of the week at a critical infrastructure facility, this time at Dulles International Airport in Virginia where agents arrested 42 illegal aliens yesterday. Earlier in the week, an ICE raid at a military parachute company in North Carolina resulted in the arrest of 59 illegal aliens. Dulles was the target of a similar operation in 2006 that netted 55 illegal aliens.
ICE interviewed more than 200 individuals to verify their identities, immigration status, and eligibility for lawful employment in the U.S., according to a related ICE press release. Most were working on construction projects at the airport. The arrestees are being detained under administrative immigration violations, although agents are still investigating whether criminal charges are warranted against the illegal aliens and their employers.
Mark McGraw, the ICE Special Agent-in-Charge for Dulles operation, said there is no indication at this time that any of the arrestees were involved in terrorist activity. McGraw said their presence raises serious concerns, however, because “(w)e don't know who these people are and how they got here…It is crucial to ICE's homeland security mission to know who enters sensitive areas like airports, military bases and power plants to ensure the integrity of these key assets."
ICE has made enforcement efforts at critical infrastructure sites a top priority. The goal of such operations is to reduce vulnerabilities at these facilities and prevent potential terrorist attacks. ICE agents have made more than 700 administrative arrests and 100 criminal arrests at critical infrastructure facilities thus far in FY 2008.

This new fax has been posted in your Action Buffet based on your answers to the Interest Survey.
You can find this fax by proceeding to
http://www.numbersusa.com/faxes?ID=10458
If we are to have any hope of avoiding the U.S. Census Bureau's latest population projection of over 439 million people by 2050, the Senate must introduce a version of Rep. Gingrey's Nuclear Family Priority Act, H.R. 938.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's latest report, the U.S. population will grow by yet another 135 million people over the next 42 years, bringing us to a total population of 439 million people, with no end to the congestion and sprawl in sight. More than four-fifths of the additional 135 million people will be a result of Congress' immigration policies.
Click here to read Roy's blog.
If you are concerned that unchecked population growth will threaten nearly every aspect of life in the U.S., you will want to consider sending this fax asking your Senator to introduce a Senate version of H.R. 938, the Nuclear Family Priority Act. Among the key provisions of H.R. 938, introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), are:
-Elimination of chain migration;
-Expedited reunification of nuclear families (i.e., married couples and parents with their young children); and
-Workload relief that overwhelms the immigration system and undermines homeland security.
Chain migration is the No. 1 cause of legal immigration numbers of approximately one million a year – FOUR TIMES traditional levels.
Under chain migration (created in the late 1950s), distant relatives well outside an immigrant’s basic family unit take priority over the husbands, wives, parents, and minor children of other immigrants. Moreover, since hundreds of millions of people in the world already have a relative in the U.S., the migration chain can eventually reach them all.
The U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, led by the late Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-Texas), recommended the elimination of chain migration as the best way to protect vulnerable American workers and their families. H.R. 938 would do just that.

A Message from FIRE....
Well, next week is our 1st Annual National Security Convention in Denver, and it doesn't look like things will be slowing down any time soon.
We are gaining more and more traction on the local levels: receiving requests to conduct training workshops on 287(g), Mexican Consulate defense, WeHireAliens.com and SendTheTaxman.com usage and cooperation and the list continues.
The outlook is bleak for the presidential elections, so I continue to urge everyone to get engaged personally and physically in the local and state efforts. If you have questions about what you can do and what teams we have operating in your area, please email our National Director, Jeff Lewis, at NationalDirector@FIRECoalition.com and he can steer you in the right direction.
Also, please send our website out to your entire list and encourage them to join so we can be in touch with them and engage them in the battle to save our nation too!
Take care for now,

FIRE Coalition Holds Immigration Reform Act Workshop in South Carolina
On August 6, 2008 at 6p; the SC State Director, Virginia Faircloth along with our SC Political Advisor, Roan Garcia-Quintana hosted an educational workshop for all city, town, and county councils as well as State Represenatives and the York County Chamber of Commerce. We were honored to have representatives from all levels in attendance for a better understanding of the newly passed HB4400 Immigration Reform Act; that is said to be the toughest piece of legislation yet on Immigration. We surpassed the expectations of our goal and feel confident that everyone left with a better understanding of our Immigration Problem. We plan on approaching our full County Council on Monday, August 18, 2008 at 6pm to ask for Beaufort County’s Lawful Employment Ordinance to be instated in York County’s Un-incorporated County. This is an ordinance that will place civil charges against those employers who are hiring Illegals and will be controlled by an outside contractor who will perform random audits of these businesses annually. With the knowledge of the hurdle we are vastly approaching; we wanted to take a step back to spend more than 20 minutes (which is what we have received for the meeting) to give our council members a better perspective of the Act, the resources our local, state, and federal have available, and to answer any and all questions. In the discussion, there were a great number of points that I feel all counties and local departments should take into consideration: 1. Be sure to formal request that the your Chamber of Commerce endorse this ordinance. 2. Ask your local councils how their “In Fee of Lieu of” Tax Credit is offered to your local businesses. 3. Educate your members on www.wehirealiens.com. This was a very resourceful link that many of our council members and John Spratt’s representatives were very impressed with and found extremely informative. Many stated before leaving that instead of directing to the 1-800 No. for ICE they would began to refer them to the We Hire Alien website. 4. Always thank your members and representatives and Always work together to stop the fight of Illegal Immigration. Remember; most of these representatives are not taking a stand because they condone Illegal Immigration; they are not taking a stand because they simply are not informed enough to make an educated decision in which they can stand behind.

K-FIRE Holds Workshop in Lexington, Kentucky
FIRE Coalition partner K-FIRE held a workshop on Saturday to discuss strategies to address the growing illegal alien invasion of Kentucky. K-FIRE founder Doug Roy and the K-FIRE leadership were most gracious hosts to FIRE Coalition's National Director Jeff Lewis who led the workshop and shared lots of information about the many FIRE Coalition tools they had at their disposal. Special kudos to our new Tennessee Director Ronald Barwick who drove up from Tennessee to participate in the workshop. http://wehirealiens.com and http://sendthetaxman.com were discussed at length, along with http://operationbodycount.com, and the effective utilization of each to educate and inform the public and the elected officials in Lexington and across Kentucky. A healthy blend of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents were present, proving that at least in the FIRE Coalition, illegal immigration is not a partisan political football. Look for thoroughbred strides from K-FIRE in the coming months, and visit their web site below. Contact our Kentucky Director Doug Roy at the email address below to learn what you can do to help K-FIRE and Kentucky in the fight against the largest invasion in world history.For more information: http://www.kfire.us/ ; KYFIRE@firecoalition.com

A Message from FIRE....
Well, next week is our 1st Annual National Security Convention in Denver, and it doesn't look like things will be slowing down any time soon.
We are gaining more and more traction on the local levels: receiving requests to conduct training workshops on 287(g), Mexican Consulate defense, WeHireAliens.com and SendTheTaxman.com usage and cooperation and the list continues.
The outlook is bleak for the presidential elections, so I continue to urge everyone to get engaged personally and physically in the local and state efforts. If you have questions about what you can do and what teams we have operating in your area, please email our National Director, Jeff Lewis, at NationalDirector@FIRECoalition.com and he can steer you in the right direction.
Also, please send our website out to your entire list and encourage them to join so we can be in touch with them and engage them in the battle to save our nation too!
Take care for now,

FIRE Coalition Holds Immigration Reform Act Workshop in South Carolina
On August 6, 2008 at 6p; the SC State Director, Virginia Faircloth along with our SC Political Advisor, Roan Garcia-Quintana hosted an educational workshop for all city, town, and county councils as well as State Represenatives and the York County Chamber of Commerce. We were honored to have representatives from all levels in attendance for a better understanding of the newly passed HB4400 Immigration Reform Act; that is said to be the toughest piece of legislation yet on Immigration. We surpassed the expectations of our goal and feel confident that everyone left with a better understanding of our Immigration Problem. We plan on approaching our full County Council on Monday, August 18, 2008 at 6pm to ask for Beaufort County’s Lawful Employment Ordinance to be instated in York County’s Un-incorporated County. This is an ordinance that will place civil charges against those employers who are hiring Illegals and will be controlled by an outside contractor who will perform random audits of these businesses annually. With the knowledge of the hurdle we are vastly approaching; we wanted to take a step back to spend more than 20 minutes (which is what we have received for the meeting) to give our council members a better perspective of the Act, the resources our local, state, and federal have available, and to answer any and all questions. In the discussion, there were a great number of points that I feel all counties and local departments should take into consideration: 1. Be sure to formal request that the your Chamber of Commerce endorse this ordinance. 2. Ask your local councils how their “In Fee of Lieu of” Tax Credit is offered to your local businesses. 3. Educate your members on www.wehirealiens.com. This was a very resourceful link that many of our council members and John Spratt’s representatives were very impressed with and found extremely informative. Many stated before leaving that instead of directing to the 1-800 No. for ICE they would began to refer them to the We Hire Alien website. 4. Always thank your members and representatives and Always work together to stop the fight of Illegal Immigration. Remember; most of these representatives are not taking a stand because they condone Illegal Immigration; they are not taking a stand because they simply are not informed enough to make an educated decision in which they can stand behind.

K-FIRE Holds Workshop in Lexington, Kentucky
FIRE Coalition partner K-FIRE held a workshop on Saturday to discuss strategies to address the growing illegal alien invasion of Kentucky. K-FIRE founder Doug Roy and the K-FIRE leadership were most gracious hosts to FIRE Coalition's National Director Jeff Lewis who led the workshop and shared lots of information about the many FIRE Coalition tools they had at their disposal. Special kudos to our new Tennessee Director Ronald Barwick who drove up from Tennessee to participate in the workshop. http://wehirealiens.com and http://sendthetaxman.com were discussed at length, along with http://operationbodycount.com, and the effective utilization of each to educate and inform the public and the elected officials in Lexington and across Kentucky. A healthy blend of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents were present, proving that at least in the FIRE Coalition, illegal immigration is not a partisan political football. Look for thoroughbred strides from K-FIRE in the coming months, and visit their web site below.
