Thank you! Your kids will thank you! Your Grandkids will thank you for acting! But stay vigilant, we might see this again in Jan. 2009.

If THEY can’t get the votes today, then the bill can’t be bought to the floor again until the next session of Congress, Jan. 2009.

-- Call your Senator and Congressmen. Call the President and your state’s governor. Let them know – ETL! (Enforce The Laws!)

Senator Burr (R-NC),

I understand that you will be voting in support of the comprehensive immigration reform bill tomorrow, June 26th. I demand that you not support this bill, or any other bill, that offers amnesty, no border fence, guest workers, and ultimately does harm to this nation. You are a Republican, were voted into office by Republican voters, and will be taken out of office by angry Republican voters if you support amnesty, in any form.

You are a traitor to the US Constitution and the people of this great country. You were sworn into office with an oath to uphold the US Constitution, remember that!

Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforement (BICE) has only 2,000 interior enforcement agents that have sole ENFORCEMENT authority with regard for immigration laws.  All other law enforcement can only arrest.  There is a big difference between arresting (to temporarily detain) and to enforce law (investigate, arrest, prepare a case, etc...).  So even though our cops can arrest a man for murder, those same cops can't enforce common-sense immigration laws and deport the same SOB to rid us of the murderer.  Unbelievable!

According to the FBI, as reported by DavickServices.com, 49% of America’s Most Violent and WANTED criminals are foreign nationals (i.e., illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, illegal migrants, invaders, or undocumented peoples)!

It doesn’t matter what we call them, these people have invaded our country and broken our laws just by entering the country, not to mention the murders, rapes, and assaults they committed once they got here.

In 1980, there were 9,000 illegals in US jails and prisons.
In 1999, there were 68,000 illegals.
Today, there are 733,000 illegals in our US prison systems!

Almost one-third of our prisons and jails are reportedly occupied by illegal aliens. The cost to incarcerate these illegals annually is $1.515 billion.  -- $1,515,000,000 every year!  (At a cost of $624 million to the states and $891 million to the federal government.)

For some reason, we are unable to permanently deport these people, so we incarcerate them and release them back into our American society.  I think a plane ticket back to the inmate's country of origin would be much cheaper than trials, appeals, and incarceration. --No, that's stupid because it makes too much sense and is far too practical. 

Very few of the released prisoners are officially deported, most are just told to leave the country or appear in immigration court within 45-days or some other ridiculous thing. We have no actual method of removing an unwanted illegal from our society – except our laws, but we don’t follow those anymore.

Now our government is seeking to give all the rights and privileges of US citizenship through amnesty, or comprehensive immigration reform, to these criminal invadors/illegal aliens.

With or without a DL, children receive health care services, and adults receive any emergency medical treatment. We offer free medical services even if their injuries are directly related to intentional actions illegally entering our country.

What about No Child Left Behind (NCLB)?  In North Carolina, when a non-English child shows up at school their citizenship status is NEVER questioned.  They are given English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, but still expected to take and pass the EOG/EOC tests at the end of the year.  Now, isn't it ridiculous to spend extra time and money on educating a child that doesn't legally belong in this country?  Isn't it harmful to our true American test scores to test non-English speaking illegals aliens.  (By the way, the anchor-baby laws need to be changed.)  They bring the scores down for the schools, districts, and states.  States that are heavily impacted by illegal aliens are also posting lower standardized test scores -- is anyone really surprised?  The system is insane.

In higher education, some states offer in-state tuition rates to illegals. But legal foreign students and out-of-state students will pay dearly for the opportunity to be educated in certain universities in America.

(I have been told there is legislation on the Senate’s Democrat controlled agenda called DREAM Act sponsored by Orin Hatch (R-UT). In the past it was never able to pass, so recently it has been hidden in the “comprehensive” immigration bill.)

Unfortunately, it seems that Democrats are more likely to sell out everything for votes, that is why they garner to majority of Latino votes.

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) reports that Mexican drug cartels are starting businesses in the US and laundering money in order to win mayoral races. They hope to elect puppet candidates that will allow them, Mexican druglords, to influence policies and decisions here in the US. Tancredo’s book, “In Mortal Danger,” details law enforcement accounts and evidence of these plans.

Richard Valdemar, a retired sergeant with the L.A. County sheriff's department, took Tancredo’s allegations farther with Mexican drug cartels and mafia wanting to “take over seven cities in Los Angeles County.” He has investigated this and has first-hand knowledge of these particular plans.

Another gang expert interviewed in Tancredo's book, also makes similar claims of the intentional voter fraud and the increase of Mexican political influence in US politics.

While the NC-DMV does not issue driver’s licenses (DL’s) to illegal immigrants, it does give DL’s to anyone with a DL from another state. Therefore, NC assumes the issuing state, say Virginia, did its due diligence to verify the citizenship of the individual applying for an NC DL. Convenient when you or I go to the DMV after we move from one state to another, but it is disastrous because of the snowball effect of illegal “residency.”

Scenario: An illegal immigrant can simply go to Virginia and apply for a DL with a utility bill. The utility companies do not ask for citizenship when beginning services. The illegal can then move to NC and apply for an NC-DL with a NC utility bill. The NC-DMV will give the applicant a DL test in Spanish. If the applicant passes the test, then they are issued an NC-DL, regardless of the fact they cannot read English, which happens to be the language our signs are printed in. (I don’t have to remind you about all illegals involved in the wrong-way, drunk driving deaths in Charlotte.) With that NC-DL, the illegal can then register to vote, get a library card, register a car and get auto insurance. All key elements of establishing “legal” residency, even though they broke all of our immigration laws to get here.

Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has written a book titled "In Mortal Danger" where he discusses this in further detail.
