Last week, Ohio patriots and coalition partner leaders requested our testimony at a hearing about the Ohio Job Preservation Act. Jeff Lewis, our National Director, attended to submit a written and oral statement at the hearing. I've included our statement below for your reading pleasure.
In addition to our other patriot-fueled projects found at http://www.FIRECoalition.com/projects, emphasizing an America First attitude, hearings like this are the type of activity it will take to turn our nation around. Prominently featured at the hearing were our Operation Body Count posters remembering those women, children, and law enforcement officers who will never get to testify at a hearing such as this because they have been killed by illegal aliens. You can view those posters at (http://firecoalition.com/obc/yearbook_children.JPG and http://firecoalition.com/obc/yearbook_cops.JPG)
While we will have to play defense at the federal level until such time as we send honorable men and women to Washington, we can have a very large impact at the state and local level where our elected representatives are closer to the FIRE and can feel the heat from the flames burning inside each of us!
If you think this is the type of candid message our elected representatives need to hear more often, please consider sending us a donation (if you haven't already done so recently), by visiting http://www.FIRECoalition.com/donate. We're fighting for you and cannot do it without your support!
Keep up the fight!

Support the Ohio Job Preservation Act, H.R. 184
“Attrition through Enforcement Works"
The United States is in the midst of the largest invasion in world history. In addition to losing eight times as many Americans on U.S. soil at the hands of illegal alien insurgents since 9/11/2001 than we are losing in Afghanistan and Iraq, millions of Americans are forced to compete with 3rd World labor that is illegally in the United States.
According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, unemployment in Ohio reached 10.4% in May 2009, a 25 year high.
Regrettably, de facto sanctuary policies in Ohio are hurting Buckeyes and legal immigrants in the job market, encouraging the abuse of illegal alien workers, and reducing earnings to levels below the “living wage” necessary to survive, let alone thrive in a 1st World economy. As the illegal alien workforce declines, wages will rise. It is a simple matter of supply and demand.
H.B. 184 will help protect jobs for Buckeyes, and for immigrants legally authorized to work in Ohio. E-Verify is one of the most effective and accurate programs the federal government has ever introduced. As of January, 2009, over 100,000 employers were enrolled in E-Verify, and 15 states had mandated some form of employment-eligibility verification according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
Remove the incentives that draw illegal aliens looking for work to Ohio, and the non-criminal element will either self-deport or never come here in the first place.
Opponents of the Ohio Job Preservation Act will suggest a variety of reasons for Ohio Legislators to not put Buckeyes first, none of which are moral, or lawful, and in some instances will border on sedition. Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution guarantees every state “protection against invasion.”
Aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a felony. Title 8, U.S. Code
Specifically, attempting to aid and abet illegal aliens by conspiring to implement legislation, sanctuary policies, or regulatory changes violates the intent, if not also the letter of the U.S. Constitution’s Article IV, Section 4, the 14th Amendment, Sections 3 and 4, as well as parts of U.S. Code, Title 8, as authorized by the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, Section 5. It has been in effect 140 years!
H.B. 184 will clamp down on the real culprits responsible for so many Ohio jobs going to illegal alien foreign nationals, will increase tax revenue, and will send a clear message to illegal aliens and corrupt employers: Hiring illegal aliens will not be tolerated in Ohio.
Legislators who fail to take this opportunity to stand behind the legal citizenry of Ohio may be guilty of “misprision of treason,” a felony punishable by fines and imprisonment for up to seven years.
Ohio legislators have the authority and the sworn duty to put the citizens of the Buckeye State first and foremost in all their decisions. Succumbing to special interest groups, big business, and foreign governments in support of illegal alien foreign nationals violates the 14th Amendment, Section 3, and if jobs obtained by illegal aliens are government-contracted jobs, also violates the 14th Amendment, Section 4, which clearly states we cannot pay the bills of those giving support and comfort to insurrection against the Constitution, and sovereignty of the United States. In either case, lawmakers found guilty of such are ineligible to EVER hold public office again.
Passage of H.B. 184 would send two strong messages:
1. Ohio Legislators care about taxpaying, law-abiding citizens, and are taking non-partisan steps to preserve job opportunities for Buckeyes.
1. The gig is up for employers of illegal aliens.
The honest businessman who is competing with employers of illegal aliens will thank you. Unemployed lawful workers in Ohio will see increased job opportunities, and will thank you. Tax revenues will rise, and the plethora of expenses incurred by Ohio taxpayers in support of illegal alien workers will decline.
Attrition through enforcement works! A “yes” vote for the Ohio Jobs Preservation Act should be a no-brainer, and is just plain common sense.
