I was watching C-SPAN2 today, as Members of the U.S. Sentate debated extending unemployment benefits. It is astonishing to watch Senators like Dick Durbin  and Patty Murray from Washington step to the podium, and give sob stories about Americans out of work.

Senator Durbin had the audacity to use "bankers" as his examples of why we should extend unemployment benefits. Senatos Durbin and Murray were two of the promoters of the Dream Act, and amnesty for millions of illegals. How can they with any credibility, argue for unemployment benefit extensions when they themselves are part of the reason so many Americans are out of work.

Today they may be listening to their constituents, but their aiding and abetting illegal aliens has been a driving motivator for more foreign nationals to illegally enter the United States and steal identities and jobs from Americans.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting they do or don't extend benefits to help previously hard-working Americans get by, but let us look at the big picture, and the real hypocrisy of these Senators.

If they care so much about the American worker, WHY are they still allowing over 1 Million foreigners to enter the United States each year? 

Why have they done NOTHING to stop the largest invasion in world history?

If they really care about American jobs, they will secure our borders and ports of entry, put a moretorium on foreign worker visas, end the VISA-Waiver Program, and enforce the immigration laws already on the books to rid our landscape of the tens of millions of illegal alien foreign nationals stealing jobs from Americans.

It makes me sick to see these sappy-eyed politicians pretending to give a damn about the American worker when everybody who's honest with themselves KNOWS these Members of Congress don't give a crap about America, the American worker, or the future or your children.

We the People must hold our elected officials accountable, and retire those Members of Congress who, like Durbin and Murray, have betrayed their oath of allegiance, their oath of office, and that have failed to exercise a wholesome discretion in their public service.

Extending unemployment benefits for un-employed Americans might be necessary, and it might be a good idea, but if we don't get a grip on legal and illegal immigration, this will only be more money thrown down the rabbit hole, further indebting your children and grandchildren.

With six workers competing for every available job, does it make any sense whatsoever to continue to allow millions of illegal alien foreign nationals to stay in the United States, or to import over 1.4 million foreign workers this year? Any sense at all? 

For years Congress, talking heads, and big business-funded think tanks inside the Beltway have pretended to get serious about border security, all the while filling their pockets with millions of dollars in taxpayer monies, and donations they could dupe you out of. In 2006, Congressman Peter King authored H.R. 6061, The Secure Fence Act of 2006. Border security advocates rejoiced. Finally Congress was getting serious about stopping the largest invasion in world history.

What happened next is indicative of a pattern of shell games Congress plays with the national security of the United States. They had "authorized" 700 miles of double-layer fence, but yielded to pressures from the Bush Administration, big business, unions, social progressive legislators, and the church.

In August 2007 I visited every 287(g) participating law enforcement agency in North Carolina, traveling thousands of miles, interviewing sheriffs, detention facility officers, and ICE agents. What I found was very interesting. Politics was so prevalent in the enforcement of our laws that many law enforcement officers were reluctant to even talk about the program.

Initially, I thought it was because of the massive disinformation that was being spread by open-borders lobbyists such as the SPLC, ACLU, NCLR, LULAC, MALDEF, EL PUEBLO, and others. The impression 287(g) participants were giving was the less public scrutiny of the program, the better. It was as if they thought "no news is good news," and they would be better enabled to protect their citizens from criminal illegal aliens if their participation wasn't showcased.

What was the number one complaint that officers shared, most on the condition of anonymity? JUDICIAL ACTIVISM.

Officer after officer confided their frustration with activist prosecutors and judges who would plea down charges against criminal illegal aliens to avoid mandatory deportation. You see, if a foreign national is convicted of certain crimes, regardless of whether or not the local law enforcement were participating in 287(g), a detainer and deportation hearing was required.

If the  prosecutors entered into plea agreements, and the judges accepted them, they could avoid deporting thousands of criminal aliens, many of whom worked for industries and businesses that funded their respective campaigns. Federal judges are appointed, as are the prosecutors. Most state judges and prosecutors are elected.

The legal citizenry get caught in the middle between the politicians, vying for funds for their campaigns, and the businesses that knowingly hire illegal aliens, and more Americans are raped, robbed, murdered, and pilaged as a result.

The corruption isn't just at the state level. The feds are to blame as well. While much attention was placed on the plight of Border Agents Ramos and Compean, or Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez, very few people even heard of the plight of ICE Agent Cory Voorhis. Like Ramos and Compean, Agent Voorhis had an exemplary resume which included active duty military service prior to joining law enforcement.

Veterans are now considered potential domestic terrorists by Homeland Security. Really? Why is that. Former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano undermined Sheriff Arapaio's ability to enforce the law when she was governor, and now as Secretary of Homeland Security, Jaded Janet has an ever bigger bully pulpit to aid and abet illegal aliens and the businesses that profit from them.

ICE Agent Cory Voorhis exposed the corruption of activist Denver District Attorney Ritter when he ran for governor in 2006. 241 criminal aliens were given sweetheart deals by then-District Attorney Ritter. Unlike the officers I spoke with in the summer of 2007, U.S. Navy Veteran, ICE Agent Voorhis didn't just grin and bear it. He spoke out. The timeline is a bit backwards, but when I found out about what my fellow Navy Veteran Voorhis had been subjected to, I understood why the law enforcement officers in N.C. and elsewhere were so reluctant to say publicly what they confided to me in private.

It wasn't just state and local judicial activists undermining the enforcement of our immigration laws. It was DHS itself, and the Justice Department of Bush 43.

Ramos and Compean were in prison for stopping an illegal alien drug smuggler, receiving over a decade in prison for simply trying to uphold the law. Deputy Sheriff Hernandez received a year and a day in prison for protecting the citizens of a small Texas town when he stopped a carload of illegal aliens late one night.

Agent Voorhis was tried twice, and acquited. The Bush Justice Department was sending a clear message: Enforce the law at your own peril.

In December 2007, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX) attached an amendment to the 2007 Omnibus Appropriations Bill to strip the funding from the Secure Fence Act. While most Americans were checking their Christmas shopping list twice, Congress was yet again playing politics with our national security.

Secure Fence Act author, Peter King, voted for the Appropriations Bill that stripped the funding from the Secure Fence Act. His excuse was that there was more good in the appropriations bill than bad. He compromised on principle, and de-fanged a good start towards securing our southern border.

At the same time, Border Agents Ramos and Compean were fighting for their freedom after being railroaded by the Bush Administration's Justice Department. Senator Diane Feinstein gave a heart-wrenching speech during the July, 2007 Senate Judiciary Hearing about how the 924c section of the criminal code had been misapplied in the Ramos and Compean case, but she did NOTHING to undo this travesty of justice.

Agents Ramos and Compean rotted in solitary confinement while Congress and the President made excuses for their failure to uphold their respective oaths of office.

Deputy Hernandez after serving 1 year and 1 day was released. Lesson learned.

Agents Ramos and Compean saw their sentences commuted on the last day of the Bush 43 Presidency.

Agent Voorhis spent 2 years in the sights of DHS and ICE officials in bed with big business and corrupt politicians.

None of these honorably discharged veterans are protecting our country from foreign or domestic enemies any longer.

The message is clear: Do your job. Enforce the law. Go to prison.

When DHS was called out for the outrageous Right Wing Extremist report they put out earlier this year, what did Jaded Janet do? She apologized, not for the report, but because veterans were offended by it. She stood alongside the American Legion leadership as if she apologizing for the implication, which she did not do.

Under the Obama Administration and the Democrat-controlled House and Senate, 287(g) is being neutered. Border Agents are being reduced in numbers. E-Verify is on shaky ground as well. Politicians are giving lip-service to enforcement, and doing everything they can to undermine the ability of state and local law enforcement to actually protect the lawful residents and legal citizenry in their jurisdictions.

What are "supposed" champions of law enforcement doing to sound the alarm? Very little.

In January, 2009, Congressman Walter Jones, (N.C.-3) re-introduced the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act of 2009, H.R. 150. One might notice this is a bill you can actually read. It's only 4 pages, but I digress... This legislation would mandate that law enforcement agencies across the country add "legal status" and "nationality" to the crime reports state and local law enforcement are already required to submit to the FBI and Justice Department.

With the exception of the Chairman, only two members of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus started by former Congressman Tom Tancredo have stepped forward to co-sponsor this bill. TWO!!

Indiana Congressman Dan Burton and North Carolina's Sue Myrick. The American Legion, the largest verterans group in the country, with 2.7 million members, has yet to endorse Congressman Jones' legislation. Talk is cheap. Pamphlets are cheap. Having met with Legion leadership in Indianapolis twice in the past 2 years to discuss these issues, even the American Legion seems to be dragging their feet on supporting tracking illegal alien crime.

Colorado native and author of "The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration," Peter Wagner, was told by the Justice Department that the reason they are not tracking illegal alien crime is because, and I quote, "...because Congress hasn't told us to."

Members of Congress have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, but apparently, only give lip service to actually doing it.

I met with Legion leadership in July. No fruit. I requested a meeting with Mr. Riley, who heads up the National Security Division at the Legion in August and September about garnering their support for H.R. 150. No joy. Not even a returned phone call or email. Hmm...

The National Sheriff's Association, which boasts 3085 sheriff offices across the country, also dragging their feet about even granting a meeting to discuss their support for this legislation. Why is that? At the current rate of implimentation of 287(g), it would take 600 years to just to reach all the sheriff's offices, let alone the thousands of municipal police forces.

Law enforcement agencies, elected officials, prosecutors, judges, and affiliated non-profits are all yielding to pressures applied by big business, unions, the church, and others who profit from the largest invasion in world history by illegal alien foreign nationals into a sovereign nation.

One hand washes the other, once the 30 pieces of silver slide into the pockets of those betraying their oaths, and Americans continue to die at the hands of the illegal aliens invading our country. 

Those honorable law enforcement officers like Sheriffs Arapaio (AZ), Mack (AZ), Johnson (NC), Jones (OH), Hernandez (TX), and federal agents such as Ramos, Compean, Voorhis, Brugman, and others have been victimized by the cancerous corruption that has infiltrated our political system from the top down.

When will YOU stop accepting excuses from elected officials for failing to uphold the Constitution?

When will YOU stop supporting the leadership in your party, your industry, your church, and your community that are selling America down the river?

Will you stop when they come for me? Will you stop when they come for YOU?

Even Glenn Beck, Fox News' newest golden child, is calling illegal aliens "modern-day slaves," and suggesting we should secure the border, but open the gate wider. Really? Wider?

What about the millions of Americans who are out of work? There is no "common sense" to the argument that business can't find qualified employees amongst the 30+ million unemployed American citizens to help their companies prosper.

Do the math. 300 million Americans x 9.8% unemployed = 29.4 million Americans out of work.

Consider the actual percentage of unemployed Americans, which includes those who have given up looking for a living wage job, the percentage is closer to 17%.

Do the math. 300 million Americans x 17% unemployed = 51 million Americans out of work! 

Does "widening the gate" make any sense at all?

Is Congress serious about enforcing the law, and upholding Article IV, Section 4, which guarantees us protection against invasion?

Do veterans groups "really" walk the walk of the talk they talk on securing our borders?

Does the Department of Homeland Security reward brave agents, or punish them as an example to other law enforcement officers to "go with the flow?"

Does the President intend to keep his oath, or will he like Bush, just give lip service to securing our borders?

Does Glenn Beck have a clue? Is his "Arguing with Idiots" the whole story, or is he one of the idiots we should argue with?

"Question with boldness," Glenn says. Hmm...

The Mormon Church was instrumental in pressuring Congress to include the un-Constitutional section 141C in the SAVE Act in 2007. Glenn's not talking about that.

Even NumbersUSA founder Roy Beck promoted this un-Constitutional legislation in 2007/2008, when it was a bi-partisan bill. He did this knowingly.

And now, the SAVE Act is back, and Roy started encouraging citizens to reach out to their Members of Congress to support this bill before it was even available for the citizenry to read by Members of Congress at Thomas, the official legislation web site hosted by the Library of Congress.

The devil is in the details. How can we complain as citizen activists about Members of Congress voting for legislation they haven't read, when some of the biggest supposed champions of secure borders encourage Joe and Jane Citizen to pressure Members of Congress to support legislation that is unavailable to be read.

The video linked above is in Roy's own words, dated July 20, 2009. The legislation did not show up on Thomas for even the House version for another three days, and even longer for the Senate version. I love Roy's gumball video. It is by far the best explanation of why we need to end illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration to levels that are in the best long-term interest of the American people.

That doesn't give Roy a free pass to promote un-readable, and un-Constitutional legislation. That is what happened. Glenn Beck says "question with boldness." Really?

I did that Glenn. I questioned Roy and NumbersUSA in 2007/2008. I questioned Shuler's office, and Bilbray's. I met with numerous Members of Congress, their staffers, and the "inside the Beltway" crowd trying to get to the truth. 

People drinking Roy's koolaid and the leadership of the RNC/DNC crowd didn't want to believe they would do such a thing as knowingly promote un-Constitutional legislation, yet they did, and continue to do so.

Glenn Beck doesn't want to talk about the Mormon Church's involvement in pressuring Congress to sponsor and promote this un-Constitutional legislation. Why is that Glenn? Too close to home? Don't want to believe it? WHY?

Why is Homeland Security watering down the 287(g) program?

Why are veterans and patriotic Americans being labeled potential domestic terrorists and hate groups?

Why is even Glenn Beck drinking the koolaid that illegal aliens are the victims in all of this, instead of the tens of thousands of Americans killed by illegal alien invaders?

This veteran would like to know. This citizen activist would like some answers. I don't have a fancy red phone like Glenn for the White House to call, but I have been sending him information for months that he has thus far refused to consider. Why?

The Campaign for Liberty was hijacked by agent provocateurs. The same can be said about the tea party grassroots movement. Gee, Glenn's been an active agent in talking about that too, but has only skimmed the "safe" surface.

I'm not interested in destroying the credibility of Roy, Glenn, or anyone else. I do want the American People to know the truth. Expect some video and audio in the coming weeks that will further explain all of this.

Why would Glenn Beck have Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) pundits on his show as "experts," when everybody KNOWS they are one of the biggest global federalist institutions in the country working to undermine our sovereignty and the Constitution. Is Glenn arguing with idiots, or a useful one himself?

There's much more to this story, including the mysterious call I got today from Missouri, from a number that is disconnected, and not in service.

And the threats I received from Washington insiders that I would "fall on my sword" if I didn't get with the program. Really? Yes. Really. If Glenn wants to talk about this, he need look no further than his inbox. I've been sending him information for over 2 years, information he says he wants. Time will tell.

This "sleeping giant" woke up 4 years ago, accepted his complicency in his complacency that has allowed our country to fall into such a state of despair. When will YOU wake up, stop arguing with idiots, and start replacing them with altruistic patriotic Americans who won't sell out for money or power?

When will YOU start holding the pundits of the rule of law and the groups that claim to champion defending our sovereignty and the Constitution accountable for their ongoing failure to accomplish anything besides them fiddling (getting rich) while Rome (our liberties and Constitution) burn?

Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune

Open letter to Colorado’s 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi,

 I read with much interest your response to Colorado resident and 27-year veteran INS/ICE Agent John Sampson (retired) concerning in-state tuition for illegal aliens. In your closing remarks, you stated you looked forward to the dialog. Pull up a chair, sir. 

Shakespeare’s Hamlet spoke about “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” I can think of few phrases in literature that more eloquently express the rampant disregard of the Constitution of the United States it is now being subjected to. It is under attack by unscrupulous scoundrels and scalawags, many of whom took an oath to God & country to defend it.

 Retired ICE Agent John Sampson has gone out of his way to “inform your discretion,” providing you with the exact federal laws you are breaking, and the FIRE Coalition leadership in Colorado has gone out of their way to inform you of your Constitutional obligations by identifying the specific parts your actions are in direct conflict with. 

Did you give due diligence to your oath of office, and actually read the Constitution before you decided to support this legislation? The smart answer, however sad, would be no, because if you did, you would have found that this is un-Constitutional according to several Articles of and Amendments to your “employee handbook.” 

On your official website, http://www.joemiklosi.com, you list your 2009 Legislative Agenda. You included several bills by name that you are proud to support, including one to promote “green jobs,” SB 171. Green jobs? You’re not selling that global warming, oops… “climate-change” scam too, are you? 

Let’s back up one bill to SB 170. Are you not proud enough of your support for this bill to list it amongst the others you champion? What should the citizens of Denver, and Colorado, and the other 49 states glean from this omission? 

Colorado citizens have called and written FIRE Coalition leadership wanting our opinion and advice about launching recall petitions for members of the Colorado Legislature who are sponsoring and/or supporting un-Constitutional legislation such as SB 170. 

What should I advise them about you? 

Your letter indicates you are conspiring with taxpayer-funded educators, other Colorado lawmakers, media outlets, Governor Ritter, and special interest groups to undermine existing law and the Constitution? That’s called conspiracy to incite insurrection, according to the Constitution. Do you realize it could not only cost you your job, but the ability to EVER hold public office again?! 

Mr. Sampson, a recently retired ICE agent who now heads up CSI Consulting and Investigations has invited you to a public debate on these issues. I’ve included the bulk of your letter to Mr. Sampson here, offset to the right. Since you are a registered Democrat, do take some consolation that your words are still way “left of center.” 

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi):

“Dear Mr. Sampson,

Thank you very much for taking time to share your thoughts about SB 170 with me.  I always appreciate hearing from Coloradans, even when they do not agree with my stance.  Even though I may not be able to change your opinion about this bill, I wanted to take a moment to explain the many benefits of this legislation, correct several misconceptions about this legislation, as well as immigration laws, and convey to you why I decided to sponsor this legislation in the State House.

I decided to sponsor this bill to both create educational opportunities and hope for talented, hard-working, students who have been forgotten and for pragmatic, economic reasons so that they can be incorporated into our society as taxpaying citizens once they earn a college degree and a job.  This bill, which will just offer in-state tuition and no scholarships, will help accomplish that goal.”

 Senate Bill 170 is good for our economy, strengthens our communities, keeps us competitive with other Western states, and provides an opportunity for more Coloradans to seek higher education.  First, and contrary to some popular beliefs, SB 170 is not just a matter of generosity, but also an economic development strategy to bolster the state's economy.  The passage of SB 170 will not cost Colorado tax payers a cent!  Also, studies have indicated that college graduates are less likely to get caught in a cycle of poverty and crime, and that they tend to be more productive and civically engaged; they vote more, and are more likely to contribute to the state tax base.  The states with higher percentages of college graduates have higher productivity and attract more high-growth biomedical, technology, and new energy corporations.”

Illegal aliens are NOT “Coloradans.” If they come from Mexico, then they are Mexican nationals, illegally occupying Colorado. If they are from France, then they are French nationals, illegally squatting in Colorado. I’ve been to Paris. That doesn’t make me a Parisian.

 

The 1982 un-Constitutional ruling by the Supreme Court illustrates the failure of the Judicial Branch of federal government to “check or balance” the illegal actions of the Executive and Legislative branches of our federal government. Which Colorado universities are you conspiring with to encourage insurrection and rebellion against the Constitution of the United States? Inquiring minds (and hopefully an honest U.S. Attorney) want to know. 

They too, are committing a felony, and if any of them, like you, are elected officials, they are in direct violation of the 14^th Amendment, Sections 3, and 4, and the cowardly act of surrender in violation of Article IV, Section 4. 

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Third, SB 170 provides an opportunity for Colorado to stay competitive with our nearby states.  Ten other states currently have passed tuition equity legislation, and many of these are Western states: California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Washington.  California and Texas have calculated that any costs associated with this legislation were minimal when compared with spending on social programs and the higher rates of crime that would result if nothing was done.”

Are you suggesting that because California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Washington state legislators have failed to keep their oath of office, that that somehow justifies your betrayal of your oath? Are the colleges in Colorado there to educate the legal citizens, or as a commercial enterprise for a socialist government?

I would suggest you look in the faces of the victims of illegal alien crime at VOIAC.org and at OperationBodyCount.com before you start preaching the praises of this illegal activity you are engaged in, and talk to the family members that were left behind. All illegal alien children need to be re-united with their family if the parents are deported is bus fare or a plane ticket. The Colorado families you are betraying will need a shovel.

Have you read the “Dark Report” written by Colorado’s own Peter Wagner? You can watch a video presentation Mr. Wagner gave at the FIRE Coalition Presidents’ Day National Security Conference, at the North Carolina Department of the American Legion State Headquarters February 18, 2008. All six segments of Mr. Wagner’s presentation of the “Dark Side of Illegal Immigration,” and many others can be viewed from the National Security Conference page of the FIRE Coalition’s Operation Body Count web site, or directly here:   http://operationbodycount.com/nsc/index.shtml

Had you come to Broomfield, Colorado’s American Legion Post 1111 last August, you might have your priorities straight. You were invited. For you to suggest the costs “are minimal” is patently absurd. As a direct result of the failure of elected officials to uphold the Constitution, tens of thousands of Americans have been permanently silenced just since 9/11/2001, and generations of their children and grandchildren will never be born. They died as a result of politicians like you who chose to ignore their oath, instead of upholding it. What did you think “posterity” meant in the Constitution? Tell the Colorado families who lost a loved one at the hands of illegal aliens, or had their identity stolen, or their wages reduced by illegal aliens flooding the job market that their losses are “minimal.”

Exactly how many legal citizens of Denver and Colorado’s 9^th District are you willing to sacrifice to be economically competitive?

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Fourth, when discussing SB 170, I have often heard the argument that it is "unfair" to offer illegal immigrants residing in Colorado in-state tuition, but that it would be more "fair" to offer it to residents of other states instead.  Illegal immigrants residing in Colorado pay a considerable amount of state taxes.  Even though they are undocumented, every time an illegal immigrant purchases anything, he or she pays a sales tax.  Those who own houses pay their property taxes, and those who rent their homes/apartments pay taxes as a part of their rent every month.  Additionally, they pay tolls and fuel taxes when driving.  The idea behind offering in-state tuition to residents of a given state is that their state taxes have already contributed and helped to subsidize the costs of these state-sponsored colleges and universities, unlike their out-of-state counterparts.  In-state tuition averages around $2,340 a semester, while out-of-state tuition averages over $7,000 a semester.”

Get it straight Mr. Miklosi. The argument isn’t that it is unfair; in-state tuition for illegal aliens is ILLEGAL. It is a felony. It is un-Constitutional. Your “employee handbook,” the Constitution does not mention whether or not it is “fair.” It does say you cannot aid and abet if you want to keep your job. Did your oath only include “only if its convenient?” I don’t think so.

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Fifth, I would like to clear up some of the misconceptions surrounding federal immigration laws.  First, there is currently no easy solution or "path to citizenship" for these effected students.  The only option out there for these students, many of whom entered the country when they were very young, is to go back to their country and apply for legal re-entry.  Although this sounds like an easy process, in order to get back into the country, each applicant must have an immediate relative, who is already a U.S. citizen to serve as a sponsor, and must wait the mandatory 10 years before re-entering.  With an arduous and often impossible process like this, not many illegal immigrants will adhere to this federal immigration policy.  Second, I have also heard many people argue the futility of educating illegal immigrants because legally, they cannot be hired by Colorado businesses.  First of all, educating our residents is always beneficial to our society, regardless of employment status, and secondly, on the federal level, legislation will be introduced shortly that would remedy this concern.  The DREAM Act, expected to be introduced in April in the Congress would grant conditional legal residency to these students, as long as they graduate from high school, are accepted by a college, perform two years of community service or two years of military service, and stay out of trouble.”

Misconceptions? Let me clear up some for you. To suggest there is no “easy solution” or path to citizenship” for foreigners is the biggest lie of all in the disinformation campaign calling for “comprehensive immigration reform.” We need comprehensive enforcement, not pragmatic, cowardly, white flag waving, and patronization with slick-tongued diatribes that never answer the simple question: By what Constitutional authority do you usurp the Constitution, or the laws justly derived from it?

The United States allows more “legal” immigration than the rest of the world COMBINED! How can any of you suggest with any credibility that there isn’t an easy solution or path? Common sense and simple math suggest that the United States must already have the easiest path to citizenship on the planet.

Regrettably, the constituencies you are representing in this bill aren’t the citizens of Colorado at all, but are illegal alien insurgents, and that includes the children they themselves victimized by bringing them along on the invasion. Look those three words up. You can find them on PatriotWatchdog.com, or at Dictionary.com.

How can your argument hold any water? It doesn’t. The truth of the matter is, that irresponsible elected officials are squandering the People’s money at a rate so staggering, and have become addicted to spending other people’s money with such a fever, the only conceivable way to keep getting “your fix” is to raise taxes from any source possible, including the hordes of illegal alien invaders that you refuse to deport.

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “SB 170 is an incredibly beneficial bill to the state of Colorado and all of its residents.  It will help to break the cycle of poverty among this section of Colorado's population and will provide immeasurable hope to those who wish to better themselves and their futures.  Even if this email has not persuaded you to support this measure, I sincerely hope that it has at least explained my rationale for supporting it.”

What would be incredibly beneficial to the legal citizens of Colorado is if you would break the cycle of betrayal and actually enforce the laws on the books, and defend the Constitution. What would be incredibly beneficial to the state of Colorado is if its elected officials wouldn’t enter into illegal conspiracies to aid and abet the insurrection of, and usurpation of our sovereignty.

(March 19, 2009, Colorado 9^th District Rep. Joe Miklosi, continued):

 “Finally, as you know, immigration and economics are intrinsically connected.  We need to think about pragmatic, reasonable solutions that encourage a positive outlet, such as earning a college degree, and not a hopelessness outlet, which can lead to dependence on welfare and the criminal justice system.

  A few months ago, I heard a PhD economist associated with the Independence Institute, which you know is a conservative think tank in Colorado Springs.  He said 500 PhD economists of diverse political backgrounds, from liberal to conservative, signed a letter that showed the United States experiences a $20 billion dollar net gain on the economy annually from illegal immigrants.  The study incorporated all of the dollars that illegal immigrants use, such as health care and education resources. The economists also calculated all of the sales tax, gas tax, and unreported money that they contribute to the economy.  As you know, it is difficult to get two economists to agree on anything - let along 500 of them.  The study is pretty convincing.

 Additionally, a recent bi-partisan, federal government, General Accounting Office study showed that it would cost the United States taxpayers $387 billion dollars to identify and deport 15 million people.  No one has ever seriously proposed doing this, including former Congressman Tancredo.  As a result, we need to think of practical solutions that assimilate undocumented people into our society with opportunity, responsibility and dignity. I also recognize that we need to invest in strong border controls and reform our immigration and Visa system so that the wait list is not decades long and create an immigration system that allows equal access from people from all countries.” 

 Hold the presses. Are you suggesting that since (in your opinion) forcibly deporting 15 million people is too costly, that the logical conclusion is to jump to surrendering to them? Why not try the Constitutional mandate of “protecting us against invasion” spelled out in Article IV, Section 4, and try enforcing our laws. Remove the incentives that draw them here, and rescind laws that provide them aid and comfort to the illegal invading hordes?

If illegal aliens already here can’t get a job, can’t rent an apartment, can’t buy property, and can’t get any government assistance, then they will SELF-DEPORT. You can spend that $300 billion securing our borders and ports.

Attrition through enforcement works! The rest of the planet would get the message too. Don’t waste your time trying to go to the United States illegally. They aren’t going to help you continue the largest invasion in world history any more. Then only the bad guys would try.

People like you argue that illegal aliens aren’t bad people. Some are. Some are not. Stop pandering to the benevolent variety of illegal alien insurgent, and it will be a lot easier for law enforcement to do their job of identifying and locating the bad guys.

Various FBI reports indicate that providing aid and comfort to illegal aliens via sanctuary policies encourages even more illegals to come to Colorado. What is un-American about upholding the Constitution? What is un-American about wanting our laws enforced? 

Patriotic Americans are suffering the “insolence of office,” but unlike most politicians, we are not in need of a “bare bodkin to quietus make, and conscience does [not] make cowards of us all” as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder would have us believe.

(ref: Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act III)

Speaker Pelosi would have us believe illegal aliens and their sympathizers are “patriots.” U.S. Senator Mel Martinez, while accepting an award from the un-American racist group NCLR, (National Council of “the Race”) would have us believe illegal aliens are “citizens” coming out of the shadows, and you articulate that illegal aliens are “undocumented” Coloradans. 

Is it nobler in your mind to suffer our Constitutional Republic more “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,” or will you force patriotic Americans “to bear arms against a sea of troubles?”                                                (ref: Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act III) 

Even conspiring to submit SB 170 to give illegal alien insurgents in-state tuition is felonious and a violation of your oath, at least five ways from Sunday. So is talk of the “Dream Act,” or as honest Americans call it, the “nightmare act.” 

If you don’t like the Constitution, then work to amend it. You have no right to ignore it. To recall, or not to recall, that IS the question.

Colorado Governor Bill Ritter needs to read his "employee handbook." Patriotic Americans more readily refer it as the U.S. Constitution, but in the case of Governor Ritter, he apparently needs to be reminded of the employer/employee relationship that exists between We the People, and the people we elect.

According to Tim Hoover of the Denver Post, in an article published Friday the 13th of March, 2009 titled "Ritter would sign in-state tuition bill for illegal immigrants". Governor Ritter says he will sign Senate Bill 170 into law if Senator Chris Romer's bill passes as is.

What I find incredulous is that Governor Ritter is basing his decision on the popularity of a policy that he claims is "supported by prominent Colorado business leaders."

In Governor Ritter's "employee handbook," and the oath he took to uphold and defend that "handbook," Governor Ritter acknowledged that Colorado was part of a Constitutional Republic, whose laws and governance were to be guided by the U.S. Constitution, NOT the popularity of a policy, or even in an effort to provide "tuition equity as a matter of principle."

What Governor Ritter needs to be reminded is that we are a "nation of laws," not a nation of men, whim, or policy based on popularity.

Governor Ritter needs also to be reminded that granting in-state tuition to illegal aliens is "aiding and abetting" illegal immigration, which is a felony.

If Employee Ritter wants to hold office after his term as governor, he might consider reading the 14th Amendment, Section 3, in his "employee handbook."

Any elected official who has ever taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, who then proceeds to aid and abet, or conspires to aid and abet insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution (or laws written in adherence to it) are inelligble to EVER hold public office again.

I didn't write the Constitution, and neither did Governor Ritter, or Senator Romer, but we did all take an oath at one time or another to uphold and defend the Constitution. While my active duty service has been honorably discharged, their active commitment to We the People has not expired.  Governor Ritter has no right to ignore the Constitution he took an oath to God and Country to uphold.

Some refer to such actions of conspiring to undermine the Constitution by aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders and their illegal alien children, especially in a time of war, as TREASON!

If the good Senator Romer, and the good Governor Ritter want their terms of office to end "honorably" some day instead of in a cloud of shame and betrayal to the people that elected them to uphold and defend the Constitution, then they need to re-think the methods of their madness. I know the air is thin in Denver, but some of the excuses I'm hearing for betraying the citizens of Colorado coming out of the Governor's mouth and several Colorado legislators gives "Rocky Mountain High" a whole new meaning.

There is certainly a legal and moral venue Governor Ritter, Senator Romer and others might take instead of the felonious, un-Constitutional, and unethical criminal activity of "conspiracy to aid and abet" that they are currently engaged in.

Amend the Constitution. You can't ignore the parts you don't agree with, in the hopes that others will honor the parts that you do agree with, without marginalizing the entire fabric of our country.

As leaders, Governor Ritter and Senator Romer should be setting the example of what honorable statesmen do. It starts with keeping their oath. America is in the midst of the largest invasion in world history. Colorado's unemployment rate is nothing to brag about. Why would Governor Ritter think illegal aliens deserve the jobs Colorado has to offer more than the legal citizens and legal aliens?

Who does Governor Ritter represent? YOU or the illegal aliens, the "prominent" business leaders who profit from flooding a job market with excessive amounts of job seekers in a downturned economy? Who wins?

The legal workforce loses because wages fall as the supply of potential workers goes up. Big business benefits from paying lower wages. Illegal aliens send a good bit of their income out of the country. That doesn't help the economy of Colorado or the United States.

In addition, if you think you have an illegal alien crime problem now, just wait till (God forbid) SB 170 becomes law. Colorado's magnetism as a sanctuary for illegal alien activity will increase not just the studious who Governor Ritter claims he wants to help, but the drug cartels, the violent criminals from countries around the world will flood to Colorado.

Waving the white flag of surrender, betraying one's oath, allegiance, and debt to the tens of thousands of Americans who fought and died over the past few centuries securing his "liberty and freedom" shouldn't be Governor Ritter's first choice.

Another Senator who supports the bill, Senator Miklosi argues that it will costs too much to deport 15 million illegal aliens. Senator Miklosi suggests the costs to be in the range of $387 billion. Considering the costs of keeping them here is estimated at around $346 billion EACH YEAR, then our net costs the first year would be around $40 billion, and by year two, when the multi-trillion dollar stimulus hoax money kicks in, we'll see a net savings of $300 billion dollars in year two alone.

Add to that the 10 million Americans and legal migrant workers who could then find work, and even that extreme option starts to sound fiscally sound. Talk about stimulating the economy. Whew! 

I can have fun with numbers too, Senators, Governor, ...but let's look at this from the pragmatic view that you both claim are driving your decision-making processes.

Both of these gentlemen "inherited" their current positions from a body politic that often ignored the Constitution, states' rights, and individual rights for decades. The decisions of their predessors put them in the awkward position they find themselves in now. I feel their pain, but adding more un-Constitutional laws, or implementing policy based on personal views is just adding fuel to a fire that is burning up our freedoms, liberties, and Constitutional Republic.

"Attrition through enforcement" works. Remove the incentives that draw illegal aliens to the United States, and remove the rewards of aiding and abetting that invasion, and most illegal aliens will self-deport. Law enforcement will deal with the criminal element that decides to stay behind.

Governor Ritter needs to know that if he will support law enforcement through programs such as 287(g), and business by reducing taxes, and the children of Colorado's legal population, that school costs will fall, crime will fall, unemployment will fall, and he will be adored by all as a champion of the people... We the People.

Which will it be Governor? Will you betray everything you swore you would defend, spit on the graves of our fallen soldiers, and kick sand in the face of Colorado's posterity?

There are many more absurd rationales coming from pro-illegal alien sympathizers as to why they intend to betray their oath of office, but I haven't heard one yet that is justified. NOT ONE! Considering we lose EIGHT TIMES as many citizens at the hands of illegal aliens on American soil each year than we are losing to illegal aliens in Iraq and Afghanistan, I see elected officials who subvert the Constitution in favor of aiding and abetting foreign and domestic enemies of the Constitution as traitors.

30 Pieces of Silver donated to Governor Ritter's campaigns by illegal alien sympathizers and opportunistic business or globalists scalawags won't wash the blood off of his hands that is there because of the men, women, and children who died at the hands of illegal aliens he encourages to come to Colorado.

With rare exception, every citizen of Colorado that the FIRE Coalition state and national leadership are hearing from about this are OUTRAGED!!

Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, and Founding Father of our country said two things Governor Ritter should consider:

Pennsylvania Rep. Daryl Metcalfe founded the State Legislators for Legal Immigration Coalition. At a Dec. 07, 2007  press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. I asked Rep. Metcalfe was he aware of, and how he felt about pending legislation in Congress that was un-Constitutional. Rep. Metcalfe is an honorable man whom I respect greatly. He personifies what a true statesman looks like. Rep. Metcalfe answered my question with the following unscripted words of wisdom, and I quote,

“I don’t believe there’s any legislator that’s involved with our coalition that would allow or be supportive of allowing the law to allow any American to aid and abet a criminal or an illegal alien invader, which is what they are. They’ve come here uninvited. They’ve come here unauthorized, and we should not allow any individual residing in this country to aid and abet someone who’s committing an act of invading our country.”  -Pennsylvania Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, Butler, Pennsylvania

These are not partisan issues. No matter which side of the aisle we find ourselves on, or neither, we must stand united in defense of the Constitution, our sovereignty, and as Rep. Metcalfe says, National Security Begins at Home! Bring it home Colorado, and Godspeed!!

Sinister Intentions Indeed!

SPLC and Pew Hispanic Center Misrepresent the Truth

 

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, “Latinos, who are 13% of the U.S. adult population, accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders in 2007—up from 24% in 1991.” They went on to say that the majority are NOT citizens, and while Hispanics are more likely to receive prison time, the prejudice, if any leans toward them receiving less time that blacks or whites.                         http://pewhispanic.org/topics/?TopicID=16

 

THE TRUTH: Hispanic illegal aliens are given special treatment by virtue of shorter prison sentences for the crimes they commit than do blacks or whites. If there is a prejudice here, Hispanics are NOT the victims of discrimination in U.S. courts. Other ethnicities are.

 

In December, 2005, Pew interviewed just under 5,000 mostly illegal alien migrants. The vast majority claimed to have had jobs before leaving their home country, and a failure to find work in their home country was NOT the primary reason for coming to the United States. What was? This report was based on a survey of mostly illegal aliens who were applying for “identity cards issued by Mexican consulates.”

 http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=58

 

According to a December, 2002 Pew Report, it is estimated that in 2005 immigrants, legal and illegal sent an average of $50 million every day back to their home countries.

http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=13

 

THE TRUTH: Illegal alien Hispanics are not coming here because they can’t find jobs in their own country. They come here illegally, take jobs from legal immigrants and citizens, and commit crimes at a rate 3 times higher than non-Hispanics,

So, not only are they taking jobs away from our citizens, they aren’t even spending the money here. Also, the identity cards Pew refers to are mostly the Mexican Matricula Consular card, a form of ID that the Mexican government does not accept in Mexico. These Matricula Consular cards are ONLY needed by illegal aliens. Unscrupulous American businesses accept it to allow illegal aliens to open bank accounts, gain home mortgages and credit cards, etc… According to the FBI, sanctuary cities and businesses’ acceptance of the Matricula Consular ID card encourages illegal immigration.

 

A June, 2005 Pew Report states, “Contrary to the stereotype of undocumented migrants as single males with very little education who perform manual labor in agriculture or construction, a new Pew Hispanic Center report shows that most of the unauthorized population lives in families, a quarter has at least some college education and that illegal workers can be found in many sectors of the US economy.”

 http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=46

 

 

THE TRUTH: Illegal aliens are not just stealing farm labor jobs, but also from many other sectors of the job market. They’re not just here to pick lettuce, or perform other farm labor, but are taking skilled labor jobs from Americans.

 

The Sept. 2008 Pew Hispanic Center Report, 2008 National Survey of Latinos: Hispanics See Their Situation in U.S. Deteriorating; Oppose Key Immigration Enforcement Measures states, “Half (50%) of all Latinos say the situation of Latinos in this country is worse than it was a year ago.” It goes on to state, “More than four-in-five Hispanics (81%) say that immigration enforcement should be left mainly to the federal authorities rather than the local police; 76% disapprove of workplace raids; 73% disapprove of the criminal prosecution of undocumented immigrants who are working without authorization; and 70% disapprove of the criminal prosecution of employers who hire undocumented immigrants. A narrow majority (53%) disapproves of a requirement that employers check a federal database to verify the legal immigration status of all prospective hires.”                         http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=93

 

THE TRUTH: Hispanics, by and large, according to Pew, don’t like enforcement of our immigration laws. What Pew doesn’t tell you is how many in this survey are here illegally. For Pew to suggest that the vast majority of Hispanics don’t want our immigration laws enforced is misleading. By their own admission, half the Hispanics interviewed are probably illegal aliens.

 

Pew also makes no comparison to non-Hispanics concerning how they feel about their situation in the U.S. I would imagine that most legal immigrants and U.S. citizens would say they feel their situation is deteriorating, duh. Pew is encouraging Hispanics to feel like “victims,” when the data does not support that they are any more disadvantaged than any other ethnic group.

 

If 53% in Pew’s survey oppose employers being required to verify prospective hires are here “legally,” then common sense begs the question “Why?” I would suggest the only reason to oppose employers making sure you are legal is because you probably aren’t!

 

 Is the Southern Poverty Law Center spreading “hate?” Are they guilty of playing the “victim” card and misrepresenting patriotic Americans, many of them veterans? In their 2009 “Intelligence Report,” the SPLC has labeled the FIRE Coalition and our partners as “nativist extremists.”            http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=443

 

Is the SPLC engaged in disinformation and a smear campaign against the FIRE Coalition and other patriotic Americans? If so, why? In their ridiculous article, “Sinister Intentions,” the SPLC states,

“Many other growing nativist extremist groups — most notably the Federal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Coalition, or FIRE, which increased from two chapters in 2007 to 14 last year — largely steered clear of the border in favor of confronting immigrants with aggressive protests at day labor sites, which are safer, closer to home, and don't require spending hot days or cold nights in the desert.”

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=1696

 

THE TRUTH: Really? The SPLC has not contacted the FIRE Coalition leadership, and its information is erroneous, to say the least. The FIRE Coalition had approximately 75 FIRE Teams in 2007. Last year that number surpassed 100, and is currently over 125 teams, with an additional 200+ individuals on a waiting list who desire to start FIRE Teams in their communities.

 

The FIRE Coalition is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)3 that works with Members of Congress, the nation’s largest group of state legislators fighting for enforcement of our laws (State Legislators for Legal Immigration), the largest veterans group (The American Legion), the largest women’s group, (Concerned Women for America), 60 other organizations as official partners, and tens of thousands of American citizens of all ethnicities. Are we to assume that the SPLC thinks these 3.5 million Americans are “nativist extremists” as well? The “sleeping giants” are patriotic Americans, not extremists.

 

In a 2005 article by Dustin Inman Society’s D.A. King,

What is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)? Judging from pictures of their expansion, below, they are very well off, indeed. From the article Lump of Coal:

... human nature being what it is, there always seems to be a lump of coal lurking among the sugarplums. We were reminded of this unpleasant fact again by a Journal reader in Arlington who considered making a contribution to the Southern Poverty Law Center, listed as No. 0454 in the Combined Federal Campaign...

In fact, unknown to most CFC donors, the tax-exempt SPLC flunked an audit by the Arlington-based Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, which requires that "a reasonable percentage, at least 50 percent of total income from all sources, should be applied to programs and activities directly related to the purposes for which the organization exists."

...SPLC...spent 89 percent of its total income on fund-raising and administrative costs...

Granted, administrative costs tend to run high when executive salaries are in the six-figure range. For example,... Morris Dees, SPLC's chief trial lawyer, pulls down a cool $280,699...

 ... give your hard-earned dollars to a real charity, not a bunch of slick, parasitic hucksters who live high on the hog by raising money on behalf of needy people who never see a dime of it.

http://www.thedustininmansociety.org/thousand_words/pics_splc_expands.html

 

Are the SPLC and Pew Hispanic Center spreading disinformation and outright lies? NO ONE at the FIRE Coalition draws a salary from the tax-deductible donations given to it. The SPLC and Pew can’t say that. We aren’t lining our pockets with six figure salaries for the cause we believe in, and by design, our national leadership and state directors are 100% volunteers.

 

The FIRE Coalition and its partners support the Constitution and the constitutional laws written from it. We do this openly. The SPLC calling us “extremists” for doing so is simply their being dramatic, trying to instill fear in the minds of the public. A query to the SPLC as to what criteria they used to compile the list has gone unanswered.

 

While many of our partners do actively seek out illegal alien hot spots, and rally in direct opposition to them, by and large the FIRE Coalition very rarely protests illegal aliens. Our leadership believes we only have two audiences: “We the People, and the people we elect.”

 

Illegal aliens are not part of the solution. They are a symptom of the problem. Our elected officials are failing to keep their oaths, and are failing to enforce our laws. We the People are guilty of allowing them to do so.

 

Like many unscrupulous politicians, groups such as the SPLC, Pew Hispanic Center, ACLU, National Council of “The Race,” are providing aid and comfort to illegal aliens, which is a felony. Homeland Security and the Justice Department should investigate them for acts of sedition, hate crimes, and conspiracy to aid and abet the largest invasion in world history. If these organizations are receiving any taxpayer monies, that should end ASAP! The 14^th Amendment of the Constitution, Section 4 states plainly that the United States cannot pay the debts of those that conspire to undermine our sovereignty and the Constitution.

 

The fact that the SPLC sought out Jim Gilchrist is laughable. Jim does not speak for the cause. Most patriotic Americans feel Jim has lost his way. Media whores eager for attention should show some restraint and stop pandering to foreign and domestic enemies of the Constitution and our laws. A little common sense goes a long ways.

This senseless tragedy is another example of why the ICE 287(g) program is necessary. This could just as easily be your wife, your sister, your daughter, or your mother. What I want to know is the name of the construction company that hired these suspected illegal aliens. The employer should be on WeHireAliens.com along with this story. The Continental Inn apparently rented them a room, thereby providing aid and comfort, along with safe harbor to gang rape a local woman for SIX HOURS! How many of these tragedies go unreported, untold?

Send this to your Congressman, state legislators, chambers of commerce, and all the church groups who collectively are responsible for this woman's rape. Let them know this is what they are encouraging when they pander to foreign governments, big business, and special interest groups that are lobbying them to NOT enforce our immigration laws.

Illegal aliens have no respect for us or our laws. Why should they? Our own elected officials don't. This has to stop. I encourage all our members and partners to get busy. Operation Body Count, Operation FIRE and ICE, and VOIAC each offer example after example of how our elected officials are failing to protect us from illegal alien insurgent murders, rapists, and terrorists. If this isn't terror, what is?

The story below is from WBTV 3 News in Charlotte, N.C. The alleged crime took place in Sunset Beach, N.C. on January 06, 2009. The red highlighting is mine, and is symbolic of the blood on everyone's hands who should have prevented this, but chose instead to listen to those lobbying against enforcing our laws.

For those who think we should pander, aid, and comfort illegal aliens, for whatever reason, I would encourage them to read the United States Constitution, especially those amongst you who took an oath to uphold and defend it:

Article IV, Section 4 - guarantees us protection against invasion.

14th Amendment, Section 3 - states your political career should be OVER if you aid and abet, or conspire to.

14th Amendment, Section 4 -states the government, (namely taxpayers) can't pay the bills of those that aid and abet.

Attrition through enforcement works! How about we aid and abet saving American jobs and lives for a change.

The other day, I had a very enlightening conversation with a former organizer for the Laborers International Union Of North America. He wrote out a letter to describe the current situation in the unions from an "insider's" perspective. John Buck worked his way up to a pretty lofty position within the organization, so his perspective is valuable for us to use in our fight against the illegal alien invasion.

After reading John's letter below, please take action on the following:

1) If you are a member of a Union, please update your profile (http://www.FIRECoalition.com/profile) to indicate you would be willing to volunteer and select "Union Member" so we can include you in any of our initiatives that deal with unions. This information will not be shared with anyone outside of the FIRE Coalition. Your privacy will be paramount.
2) If there are other like-minded members in your union, please encourage them to join the FIRE Coalition (http://www.FIRECoalition.com/register and similarly indicate they are a union member after clicking the volunteer checkbox.
3) Contact John Buck at strongbuck2003@yahoo.com to let him know where you stand.
4) Send John's letter to your local media (print, radio, and tv) and write letters the editor of your local papers.


Below is his open letter.

---

My name is John Buck. I am a former organizer for the Laborers Eastern Organizing Fund, Laborers International Union Of North America. This is my story.

After years of being a rank and file laborer, I was asked to become an organizer. I agreed with the belief that advocating for better working conditions, benefits, and wages for American workers was a worthy cause. I still do.

After some time, I came to these conclusions.

1) Labor leaders nationwide are merging local union halls across the country in order to avoid dissent on illegal immigration.
2) The leadership of these unions are selling out the rank and file in order to gain membership dues and political power for themselves.
3) The unsustainable tide of cheap illegal labor takes the teeth out of any present and future collective bargaining agreements.
4) These leaders have come to a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality.
5) With years of fighting big buisness' use of illegal aliens, they have succombed.
6) These actions are are costing American union workers jobs.
7) Through the threat of takeover by the international union, local buisness agents submit or are merged to avoid dissent.
8) Through their dues, rank and file members are unwittingly donating money to political action committees who have a pro-amnesty agenda. In other words, they are advocating for their own replacements.
9) Even without the current economic down turn, jobs are finite not infinite.
10) Without a great groundswell of dissent, this situation is irreversable.

Let me tell you a story of the laborers union...

Over the years there has been a number of corruption convictions in my union, so the Justice Department came in to oversee it. This gave the current leadership the appearance of changing the union for the better. Everyone cheered. Then they went to work on us.

Instead of demanding that contractors use legal American workers, they thought it easier to just organize the illegal alen workers which started us down a slippery slope. The courts made the decision that organizing these workers was legal, but here's the rub: while that is legal [I don't agree with it though], sending out illegal aliens from a hiring hall is another matter. My union card has my social security number on it. What about yours? Whose number are the illegal aliens using?

This leaves all our union contractors exposed to fines and penalties, and therefore could affect collective bargaining agreements. The granting of union cards is facillitating the employment of illegal aliens, which is a crime. So I see this practice as an ongoing, organized criminal enterprise. That is the definition of a R.I.C.O. (racketeering) violation.

AND THE JUSTICE DEPT IS LETTING THEM DO IT.!!!!

This house of cards must not stand. Please stand up and scream with me. I am an American Union Worker, and I want my union leaders to identify and e-verify.

Sincerely,

John Buck

She should be scared to send her children to school if they are breaking the law. Part of the effectiveness of punishments is the deterrent effect. She wouldn't have to worry about when she'd see her husband again had they stayed in their own country.



Again, panic is a good thing when it comes to the realization that you could be next for breaking the law



"Stormed in?" Come one...Fox News is as bad as the rest of the MSM!



Who coached her to say "traumatized?" And Sport Utility Vehicle? I'm sure there are plenty of Americans who would love a job that afforded them the opportunity to purchase an SUV.


The answer: just scared enough. Fear changes behavior.


That's right. Americans are waking up and saying, "this is not acceptable in our country anymore." Anywhere illegal aliens turn, this is what they should be met with: someone, somewhere making a call to the authorities to report illegal activity. If at every attempt to gain advantage from living in America, illegal aliens are met with fierce opposition, they will realize it is not worth it to leave their jobs in their home country to come here.


Ok...what is this nonsense? Office of Refugee Resettlement. I can understand for true refugee reasons, but for underage illegal aliens. No way! Preferential treatment of "underage" illegal aliens is exactly what got the Bologna family decimated in San Francisco.

Oh you mean illegal immigration is not a victimless crime? Who knew! I guess we need to add a little to this statement "they're just here to do the jobs that Americans won't do..." to include "...that pay enough to buy SUVs and to steal our identities and ruin our credit ratings and mess up our social security accounts"


They knew the risks when they chose to break the law in coming here. In fact they'll have another choice before being separated from their families: would you like to self-deport with your families? It's a sure way to keep their families together, but they'll choose no and then complain that WE"RE tearing their families apart.



This is a shame; the executives and managers should be held criminally liable. They must think we all fell off the turnip truck this morning. 600 illegal aliens working for you and you are doing everything legally? Either you are lying or the government is rolling out useless programs and I know the latter is not the case. At our National Security Convention in Devner last week, a State Senator from Colorado who also runs his families concrete business uses E-Verify and he stated that 20% of their applicants fail the system and voluntarily leave their employment, so it obviously works.



Though Howard Industries was not on the WeHireAliens.com website, Agriprocessors and Swift both were submitted to our site and subsequently to ICE many months prior to the investigations and busts.

Keep those submissions coming in!
