With the state in desperate financial straits, Attorney General Terry Goddard has astonishingly agreed to turn over the bulk of the state’s proceeds in the Western Union settlement. Goddard initially went after Western Union for permitting illegal immigrants to send money to Mexico. The settlement was for $94 million, which Arizona could really use right now. But Goddard directed only $21 million of that to go to the state, which will be split between his office, DPS, and Phoenix Police. Of the rest, Goddard turned $54 million over to some nonprofit entity run out of New York,the Center for State Enforcement of Antitrust and Consumer Protection Laws. Why is this money going to some private organization in another state if Arizona won the suit? The settlement states that the nonprofit will then make the money available for grants to law enforcement agencies along the border – so agencies in Texas and California are going to be receiving money Arizona rightfully earned. Another $21 million of the settlement is going to be used by Western Union on itself to improve its anti-money laundering efforts. Western Union could simply use the money to upgrade its computer systems, add some fancy new offices, etc. Goddard is calling it a “historic settlement.” It’s historic alright, it’s the biggest settlement Arizona has ever flat out given away. In the middle of the worst budget deficit in history. And this guy wants to run for governor?

The blog Seeing Red AZ ran a blog post earlier about Shawnna Bolick, candidate in LD11, which was inaccurate. It was in regards to her position on illegal immigration.  Shawnna attempted to post a comment correcting it, but the comment was not approved.  In an attempt to provide the full perspective on this issue, we are posting a response from Shawnna.  Shawnna is married to Clint Bolick, the libertarian leaning litigator for the Goldwater Institute.  As a libertarian, Clint does not always agree with Sheriff Arpaio on issues, such as certain illegal immigration issues. But for those of us who know this couple, we know that they don’t agree on everything, and Shawnna is more socially conservative than Clint.

We asked Shawnna her actual position on illegal immigration and border security. Here is what she had to say. She didn’t sound like an open borders proponent to us:

McCain Drain On Taxpayers: 2007 Amnesty Plan Would Have Cost Taxpayers $2.6 Trillion (Source: Heritage Foundation)

PHOENIX, AZ. JANUARY 26, 2010. Sen. John McCain has been attacking his conservative challenger on spending.

Yet, Hayworth actually has a better lifetime score from Citizens Against Government Waste, “America’s #1 Taxpayer Watchdog.” (Hayworth:89% / McCain:88%).

And the McCain camp has apparently forgotten about his 2007 amnesty plan for illegal immigrants that would have had a long-term cost of $2.6 trillion for U.S. taxpayers, according to the Heritage Foundation (http://www.heritage.org/research/Immigration/wm1490.cfm).

Furthermore, Senator McCain voted for the massive bank bailout bill in 2008, which was full of earmarks. And during his presidential run he proposed spending $300 billion to buy up every bad mortgage in America, again bailing out banks and borrowers.

Closer to home, Senator McCain has supported taxpayer expenditures of over half a billion dollars for sports stadiums.

“While we all respect Senator McCain’s service to his country, these difficult times call for a reliable conservative we can count on to stand up to Harry Reid and President Obama’s plans that would further damage the economy. John’s record of proposing huge new government programs, opposing tax cuts, pushing amnesty, and supporting bailouts should concern every Arizonan and raise understandable concerns that he will revert to his liberal maverick ways once the election is over,” Hayworth said.

A summary of Saturday’s AzGOP Mandatory Meeting.  The graphic is better to look at then the McRINO pic… and any relationship to the following edited submission is disavowed.

Arizona Town Crier – by Jim Ehl

Notes from the AZGOP meeting of 22 Jan. 2010:

The Arizona State Republican Committee met today at Sugaro High School in Scottsdale for its mandatory annual meeting. There were uncontested elections for various officer positions,  approval of the resolutions  (with minor changes to two of the resolutions),  approval of the updated state party platform, and speeches ad nauseam .

Speeches were given by the entire Arizona Republican Congressional Delegation (McCain, Kyl, Franks,  Shadegg, and Flake),  Republican state-wide elected officials, the Governor,  the President of the Az Senate, and Az Speaker of the House.  All candidates running for office this year were also given a chance to briefly say a few words and introduce themselves.

There were 438 state committeemen present and proxies were carried for additional 305 (41% and 11 of Arizona’s 15 counties were represented.   Apache, Coconino, Greenlee, and  La Paz counties were were absent  likely due to dangerous weather related travel conditions.

Seeing Senators McCain and Kyl seated together at an AzGOP meeting was unusual.  McCain, who is up for re-election this year, has been absent for most of the past 8 years, while Kyl did make a cameo  during his re-election bid in 2006.  Both men arrived just in time for the opening ceremonies and departed for more important activities immediately following their speeches.  Governor Brewer used the podium to rally the faithful to her cause (and budget).  Those who support her were evident in the gathering while those seeking to take her out were seen working the crowd.

There has been friction between the state party leadership and members of the Congressional Delegation (with the exception being Trent Franks) regarding amnesty and the illegal alien issue, along with who is in control of the state party.  Since mid-term of Bob Fannin’s last years as party chairman, the party has been moving right of center.  Saturday, there were even rumors in the blogosphere  that McCain’s political operatives would try to force a vote to remove the current AzGOP State Chairman,  Randy Pullen, from office.   Did Jon Kyl appear onstage with John McCain in a show of unity, or was it a statement that ownership of the party was about to change?

The Arizona Town Crier, (ATC) has over the years pointed out the many party platform transgressions of John McCain.  Among some of the most grievous being passage of the now infamous and overturned McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Reform bill, his advocacy of amnesty for illegal aliens, and his current support for Cap-n-Trade. Reports are coming out now that his wife and daughter are actively supporting gay marriage which puts them at odds with the Arizona voters.

Now that John’s  up for re-election, John McCain is putting on his campaign front and trying to sell us a bottle of  “I’m a Conservative” snake-oil elixir.  He’s even calling in a debt and having Sarah Palin stump for him.  Oddly enough, he did not seem to stand by her following his lackluster presidential bid.  Another sore spot for the party faithful.

There is an article by Michelle Malkin that points out the many failures of John McCain.  The Geraldo Rivera Republican, John McCain may be read at:  http://michellemalkin.com/2008/01/23/john-mccain-the-geraldo-rivera-republican/

Regarding my earlier  statement, “There has been friction between the state party leadership and members of the Congressional Delegation other than Trent Franks over the illegal alien issue and over control of the state party organization.”

Many will agree that the congressional delegation has for years, been very influential in the running the state party.   They have served, through their minions, as gatekeepers, deciding what candidate is promoted and which candidate is ignored.

In Version 1.0 of the 2010 Victory Plan, a prime stated goal is to re-electe ALL incumbents.   Who authored that goal?  And, did Senators McCain and Kyl attend the state meeting to enforce that goal?  Did they show up to influence the state committeemen with their show of unity and force?  The smiling countenance of two senior US Senators can have a sobering effect on those downstream from the pinnacles of power.

Now consider the resolutions adopted at the meeting.  With minor discussion, most were passed by acclamation.

The “Reagan Unity Principles” (resolution #1 on the list), cited 10 principles of the Republican party and stated that a candidate who is not aligned with three or more of the stated principles, shall not be eligible for financial support and endorsement by the RNC.

It follows logically,  that by approval of this Resolution any candidate (including incumbents) shall not be supported by AZGOP.   This is the position advocated by the Arizona Town Crier for many years.   However to enforce this Resolution of the State Party, the AzGOP must research and interview every candidate for answers to the ten questions.  It then becomes axiomatic that the AZGOP must pass their findings along to the Arizona Republican Party County Chairmen, State Committeemen and PCs for follow through.

The litmus test is this: Whether or not the AzGOP follows through on enforcement of this Resolution.  Should that happen it will be a long welcome indication that the party is responsible to its members instead of the elected incumbency elite.

This is an election year so it’s a good time to see if the AZGOP will comply with its own adopted resolution, or if it’s all just feel good, smoke and mirrors.  Then we’ll really know who is calling the shots in the Arizona Republican Party.

My Dear Friends:

.I am outraged at the sham being played right now by the Obama administration to stop my lawful enforcement of our immigration laws. Please – I need your help today.

The United State Justice Department just advertised late last week that they established a Sheriff Joe Arpaio “Hotline” for the sole purpose of soliciting people (so-called victims) to call and report so-called injustices and wrongdoings that my deputies are allegedly conducting. This is a blatant and transparent demonstration of the hollow shell of the Justice Department’s non-existent case against me. Further, it clearly shows the level of outright fraud on their part to bring baseless allegations against the very deputies that THEY THEMSELVES trained to arrest illegal aliens.

Just last month, the Obama White House through the Justice Department and Homeland Security Department under Janet Napolitano, took away my authority to make street arrests and detain illegal immigrants and human smugglers. I have defied that outrageous and irresponsible federal policy that does nothing but tie the hands of Sheriffs and Police officers all across the country.

Since October when my Deputy Sheriffs had their federal authority pulled by the Obama White House, we have continued crime suppression operations in accordance with the Constitution of the United States and the Laws of the State of Arizona. My office, in this short month-and-a-half time, has arrested 54 felony smugglers and caused the deportation of over 1,400 illegal aliens. This brings to a total of illegal aliens captured and deported to almost 35,000 in the last two years. This represents almost one-third of the total arrests and deportations in the entire United States; and more than all of the other 64 local law enforcement agencies combined.

The Obama White House wants to put me out of business. Why?

The only reason they are doing this is to stop me from enforcing the laws of this state and our country. Why? Why would they try to prevent me from arresting those who are breaking the law? It all comes down to AMNESTY. They want to so badly weaken laws against illegal immigration that they can establish automatic citizenship for those who cross our borders illegally. It is appalling to think that the Obama administration wants to spend our tax dollars in placing these criminals in hospitals and hotels at our expense while they figure out a way to con the citizens of the United States that this is good for our economy. This is rubbish and insults the intelligence of hard working Americans.

If the liberal politicians and media want me to stop arresting illegal immigrants and human smugglers, then they need to change the law. For me to pick and choose which laws I want to enforce would not only be a dereliction of duty, it would lead to anarchy and chaos. I am saddened that so few politicians will join this fight and choose to ignore the laws and make empty excuses as to why we cannot secure our borders. That is why I need your help today.

The DOJ knows full well that by establishing a toll-free number, in English and in Spanish, that my political opponents, left-wing open borders activists and extremists can “stack the deck” and make any open-ended allegation they want to. The Department of Justice has already lied and openly violated the rights of my Deputies.

The allegations against me and my office are already absurd. You can just imagine what will happen now.

Never in my thirty years of working as a federal law enforcement official did we ever target a locally elected Sheriff the way this Obama Administration has. This is a fight that I cannot lose. This is the front line in the battle on illegal immigration. This is a fight that WE cannot lose.

The same people who have called me a racist; depicted me as a KKK member hanging a Hispanic man; burned me in effigy; beheaded me in effigy then paraded my severed head in a mob of cheering protesters; sued and picketed me will be calling that hotline on daily basis making more and more outrageous and false claims against me and my dedicated Deputies.

This action by the Justice Department is completely irresponsible, reckless and provocative. In fact, it’s so far out there they may have gotten the idea from the Reverend Al Sharpton. (The Rev. Al Sharpton came to Phoenix earlier this year just so he could hold an Anti-Arpaio rally and label me a racist.)

Today, I make you a steadfast promise: No matter what political shenanigans these people try, I will never back down one inch. And, I’m not going to surrender.

But I desperately need your help.

These left-wing groups and their allies in the media need to know just how strong the support is among law-abiding people like you for me and my policies. They are mounting an all out effort to remove me as Sheriff. For months now, people have been bused in to protest in front of my headquarters. Will you please stand with me and help me fight this fight?

It’s going to take a lot of resources to combat these false allegations – as well as the latest talk about a recall campaign against me. We anticipate the hardest campaign in Maricopa county history to remove me due to my unyielding stance on illegal immigration enforcement.

Your financial support today is so critical. Please log on to http://www.reelectjoearpaio.com right now and make a much needed contribution. Any amount you can offer today is tremendously appreciated. I promise I will not let you down. Our country’s future depends on what we do now.

I cannot thank you enough for joining me in this battle. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Maricopa County

P.S. In addition to making a contribution, please do me a favor and forward this email to your friends, family and other individuals who share our views. Together we can win this fight. Thank you.

Where has the color blind society gone?

WASHINGTON — The estimated time when whites will no longer make up the majority of Americans has been pushed back eight years — to 2050 — because the recession and stricter immigration policies have slowed the flow of foreigners into the U.S.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jO8jbAnwaP-wLfs93UGI-l_-llMgD9CKM8VG0

It was once said, by the losing side of the last major debate over immigration,  ‘… they who control a nation’s immigration policy control the future of that nation.’

That was said in 1924 just prior to the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924.   Many are unaware that in the nearly two decades leading up to this legislation , the issue of immigration had been building to a crescendo of national passion and debate.  So what’s changed?

Consider carefully the policies, cultural practices, religious orientation, and achievements of the United States prior to the last huge wave of population migration onto our shores.  This flood of humanity, many responding to the words on the Statue of Liberty, lasted for just a bit more than one generation, about 30 years.

During that time our population grew dramatically and peoples mostly from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean region fled oppression and  sought new political expression within our borders.  Certainly they did not assimilate immediately.  However, its been now about three generations and look at the changes in our policies, cultural practices, religious orientation and society today.  The wave of immigration shown in this chart certainly changed America.

Notice the absence of illegal immigration since President Reagan's limited amnesty program in the 1980's

Now consider the abortion chart below (provided courtesy of the Alan Guttmacher Institute, special research affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

This graph is a link to source.

There have been more than 32.5 million abortions in the twenty one years since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized unrestricted abortion on January 22, 1973.

This graph is a link to original

Next consider the chart of illegal immigration into the United States – presently supported by some U.S. Senators from border states and entirely supported by the previous U.S. Administration.

Next consider the chart of illegal immigration into the United States – presently supported by some U.S. Senators from border states and entirely supported by the previous U.S. Administration.

Unlike any culture in history, we are aborting our children.  Have we bought into the Self-Hate so much that we are committing a protracted national and cultural suicide?

America can you handle the CHANGE?  You’ll have to.  Consider once again that we are aborting our native born population and importing their replacements.  The numbers speak for themselves.

Presently the Department of Homeland Security estimates the population of individuals residing within the United States now to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 million souls.  This does not include children of undocumented residents.  They are counted as legal citizens under a Supreme Court interpretation of the Constitution.

A glimpse of the past is necessary once again here.  In 1964 the Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act, and under Republican President Richard Nixon the first Affirmative Action programs were instituted in 1971.  There are 2 cases ruled by the SCOTUS that directly shaped the outcome of these actions;   Griggs v. Duke Power Company in 1971 and  the University of California v. Bakke in 1978 in which a minority student was admitted to the university’s medical school with a C+ undergraduate grade average over a non-minority student who held an A- undergraduate GPA.

The entire point of this trip down memory lane is to understand where we are as a people today.  To understand why the Associate Press in conjunction with other mainstream media chose to highlight the story that is linked to in the opening paragraph of this blog.  Why does it matter when the whites become a minority?  If we are moving towards a color blind society, it should not.  Yet there it was in big headlines on Yahoo.

Please understand, Veritas is not really concerned about daily life in the North American Union much after 2040.   For me the point is moot.   My hope is to bequeath to posterity an  independent, sovereign and color blind United States in which the innocent unborn native population will realize the American Dream.   Unchecked immigration is no substitute for a healthy birthrate.

Really think about it.  Has immigration become a substitute for a natural birth rate?  And consider the impacts of a generation of immigration, remembering the first huge wave of immigration from Eastern Europe and the changes it has wrought in all sectors of our society and has influenced our view of government and society.

So what might the United States look like in 3 generations following the mid-1980s, or a decade before there is no more ethnic majority?  And what cultural, political and religious changes will their posterity on our shores bring?    Here are the sources for the look of the future.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, December 15, 2009

HORNE INVESTIGATION REVEALS MEXICAN RESIDENTS ILLEGALLY ATTENDING SCHOOLS IN AJO

TUCSON (Tuesday, December 15, 2009_ — State schools chief Tom Horne today released the results of an Arizona Department of Education investigation showing that a substantial number of Mexican residents are being bused to public schools in Ajo in violation of Arizona law.

“I am releasing video evidence that shows very clearly that Mexican residents are being bused from the international border crossing at Lukeville, Arizona to attend school at the Ajo Unified School District. Arizona law is clear: public school students, regardless of their citizenship, must reside within the state,” Horne stated.

“Our investigation is the result of numerous complaints we have received from constituents who observed these activities or who knew of Mexican residents attending Ajo schools. Earlier this year, the Arizona Department of Education formally requested the Pima County School Superintendent to provide verification of U.S. residency for all students who attend schools in the Ajo district. This request was repeatedly rebuffed so I therefore had little recourse but to initiate my own investigation,” Horne added.

Video evidence reveals that shortly after the Lukeville border crossing is open at 6 AM on school days, Mexican residents enter the U.S. either on foot or by car and students board school buses parked approximately 200 yards north of the border. The buses are marked “Pima County Schools” and, according to Arizona Department of Transportation records, are registered to the Pima County School District.

“I have asked the Arizona Attorney General’s office to investigate this matter further. Arizona taxpayers cannot be expected to pay for the education of students who don’t live in Arizona and I am committed to putting a stop to this illegal activity,” Horne concluded.

Copies of the correspondence between the Arizona Department of Education and Pima County Superintendent, as well as a chronological description of the video, are attached. The video is also posted at www.ade.az.gov.

One of the carpetbaggers who has jumped into the CD5 race against Harry Mitchell is Jim Ward from California’s San Francisco area. The open borders Arizona Chamber of Commerce, known for fighting Arizona’s employer sanctions law through lawsuits and advocacy, is supporting Ward and putting on a fundraiser for him. We know who he will be beholden to if elected.

It is peculiar why any Republican would want the support of the Chamber of Commerce. The Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce is currently mired in scandal over its illegal donations to Democrat former Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross. They supported Manross last year over the principled Republican candidate Jim Lane, who nevertheless ended up winning. The Arizona Chamber has a reputation for protecting illegal immigration so big business can continue hiring and exploiting illegal immigrants, undercutting the salaries of hardworking Americans. Ward’s campaign contributors so far represent a who’s who of big business, with money coming from large grocers, hotels, etc. – the very kind of industries that tend to hire illegal immigrants.

Ward does not represent the interests of Arizonans, especially Republicans who want to protect our borders and enforce our laws against illegal immigration. 69% of Arizonans support employer sanctions against businesses that hire illegal immigrants.

Below is the email sent out by the Chamber of Commerce to its members, inviting them to a special fundraiser they are putting on for Ward:

Our Nation Depends On It
by State Senator Russell Pearce

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!   As author of Proposition 200; “Arizona Taxpayers and Citizens Protection Act,” that passed by over 1 million voters in 2004. It was intended to do three things.

(Thanks to Attorney General Goddard and Former Governor Napolitano the 3rd provision was not implemented.  It was a back door veto of the people’s vote.)

Proof of citizenship to register to vote: The U.S. Constitution established more than 200 years ago that only citizens may vote. The initiative requires everyone equally to prove that eligibility as does Title 7, Section 12 of the Arizona Constitution.  Thanks to Proposition 200, ACORN’s efforts of voter fraud were thwarted here in Arizona.

Photo I.D. When voting: Photo I.D. Is required to cash a check, apply for welfare, sign a lease, or get a rental card at a video store.

Proof of eligibility to receive non-federal mandated public benefits: The initiative would require everyone to provide proof of eligibility equally. The Urban Institute studied this extensively in 1994, the University of Arizona in 2001, and estimated such costs to vary widely in the tens of millions of dollars.

To make matters worse, we have a financial crisis in Arizona and are cutting services to citizens and yet the cities are demanding that illegal aliens receive taxpayer benefits.

There is currently a battle raging in this country that will determine whether our nation enforces its immigration laws and secures its borders or becomes victim of its enemies.  We are a Nation built upon the “Rule of Law” and either we stand up for the principles that our Founding Fathers gave us to ensure lasting Liberty, enshrined in a Constitution that protects those liberties or we destroy all that is sacred and the end result will be a nation who commits suicide.  Illegal immigration is the Trojan Horse and we must secure our borders and enforces our laws.

“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death”.  This prophetic speech in that Henry was warning his countrymen that if they were not prepared to fight for their liberty, the only alternative was to live in “chains and slavery.”

THE TIME HAS COME TO FIGHT.  FIGHT TO KEEP GOD IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. FIGHT TO KEEP GOD IN OUR NATIONAL MOTTO.  FIGHT TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ON PUBLIC DISPLAY. FIGHT TO RETURN PRAYER TO THE CLASSROOMS. FIGHT AGAINST ABORTION, FIGHT AGAINST PORNOGRAPHY, FIGHT TO SECURE OUR BORDERS, FIGHT TO PRESERVE THE RULE OF LAW, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, AND (IN THE WORDS OF WINSTON CHURCHILL) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

AHCCCS has exploded to $5 billion annually, more people enrolled in AHCCCS than in K through 12!!!  Hospitals in trouble financially (in 2003, 77 border hospitals filed bankruptcy), crime impact (majority of violent crime involves illegal aliens), neighborhoods in trouble, drug trafficking, home invasions, our election process violated, and I can go on.

We must have responsible policies to protect our citizens.  That is our job.  The average taxpayer bears the burden of our bloated welfare system.  It jeopardizes the integrity of our elections.  Our number one responsibility is to protect the rights and liberties of the Citizens of this great Republic.

As long as we have a welfare state, in consideration of the fact of Federal abdication of their responsibility to protect our borders, we (Arizona) must necessarily resort to ’self-help’, and let the shirkers and the cowards be darned.

We are a nation of immigrants, but immigrants originally settled every nation in the world; this cliché confuses facts with wisdom.  When the Statue of Liberty was erected in 1886, there were less than 65 million Americans.  We did not have the Bloated Welfare system we have today.  We did not have those coming to America demanding “free” stuff as we do today.  We did not have “Public” education at a huge cost to taxpayers that we have today.

It is said that immigration is important because there are “jobs that Americans won’t do.”  This probably never was true, but this cliché has now become a job-destroying and wage-lowering philosophy where employers use both unskilled and “increasingly) skilled immigrants to hold down wages and obtain cheap labor at the expense of American workers and the “left” benefits from the increased political base by luring them here and allowing/encouraging them to get addicted to government programs.

Why should “Illegal Aliens” have the right to “Free” taxpayer/citizen benefits?

Impact of Illegal Immigration:

U.S.
Illegal immigrants cost American taxpayers $68 Billion annually in federal programs in 2002. Studies estimate that amnesty would increase that three fold.

$311 Billion in uncollected taxes (Barron’s study)

$200 Billion annually in lost American wages. Native-born American men lost an average of $1700 in wages in 2000 due to US immigration policy (Harvard University)

Arizona
FAIR study (Federation for American Immigration Reform):
This is the 6th largest population of illegals in the country and 222% higher than the 1990 figure and according to Time Magazine (not a conservative publication) over 3 million will cross illegally through the Arizona border this next year alone!!!

Arizona hospitals spend $150 annually on illegals’ care. Some rural hospitals have had to downscale or close (2003 77 border hospitals filed for bankruptcy)

Health department in Cochise spends 1/3 of its budget on care for illegals

Maricopa County Hospital loses over $2 million weekly on uncompensated care (largely due to illegal aliens).

Feds owe $25 million in uncompensated SCAAP costs just in Maricopa County, (1/3 of our federal prisons are illegal aliens)

Arizona spends $1 billion annually to educate illegal immigrant students

Over half of all AHCCCS births are from illegal mothers 1/3 of children in Arizona have immigrant parents

Other problems include: congested freeways, damage to environment from trash and unwanted trails, crowded housing, crime and poverty.

By some estimates 60% to 80% of the violent crime in Arizona is involving illegal aliens; i.e. Homicides, drug trafficking, home invasions, car jackings, gang activity, etc.

The Zogby, Roper, Lou Dobbs and Pew polls show over 80% of Americans do not want amnesty given to illegals.  They want enforcement.

IN VIOLATION OF THEIR OATH OF OFFICE

This year, over three million illegal aliens crossed over our borders against the laws set forth in our Constitution and Federal immigration mandates. These laws are specific. They demand arrest and deportation for anyone within the United States of America without lawful entry. For anyone hiring an illegal alien, these laws provide fines of $10,000.00 per illegal hired and up to five years in prison.

Additionally, our elected officials from mayors to our President work against American citizens in what history will report as the single greatest “invasion-without-guns” takeover of a nation in history. “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion.” Article IV Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

The Law:

“A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he: assists an illegal alien she/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or encourages that illegal alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.” Federal Law- Section 8 USC 1324. If you suffered a horde of people overrunning your home or community, you would call the cops and have them arrested. Not so with illegal aliens! By lack of law enforcement, illegals recognize the open invitation to illegal entry. The benefits of lawbreaking exceed their wildest dreams.

Undocumented Immigrant is a euphemism that suggests the problem with immigrants is the lack of documentation. ACTUALLY, they are citizenship-deficient; in the same way that a residential burglar is key deficit.
