MEXICAN PRESIDENT: KEEP BORDER DOOR OPEN

Tell Congress that America will not Listen to Mexico's Demands! Build the Fence and continue to call for border security first. Alert: Mexican President Felipe Calderón acknowledged tensions between the United States and Mexico over illegal immigration but stressed Wednesday that both countries have an interest in ensuring their citizens can cross the border legally and safely. In an address to a joint session of the California Legislature, Calderón said the economies of the two countries are interdependent. For that reason, there must be ''shared responsibility'' for immigration on both sides of the border. ''I know that immigration is a controversial issue today in this great nation. But I strongly believe that Mexican and Mexican-American workers are a large reason...

The following was written by Gary Hubbell, a regular columnist for the Aspen Times Weekly in Aspen, CO. Here's the link to the original item that was in the February 9th, 2008 edition: http://www.aspentimes.com/article/2008198091324. I liked it so much I wanted to feature it here and give it a big, Double Barreled Salute! In Election 2008, Don't Forget Angry White Man There is a great amount of interest in this year's presidential elections, as everybody seems to recognize that our next president has to be a lot better than George Bush. The Democrats are riding high with two groundbreaking candidates -- a woman and an African-American -- while the conservative Republicans are in a quandary about their party's nod to...

DHS STOPS BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR GREEN CARD APPLICATIONS..IS AMERICA FOR SALE?

Tell Congress to Stop the Department of Homeland Security from Giving Away American Citizenship by bypassing background checks for immigrants. Alert: In a major policy shift aimed at reducing a ballooning immigration backlog, the Homeland Security Department is preparing to grant permanent residency to tens of thousands of applicants before the FBI completes a required background check. Those eligible are immigrants whose fingerprints have cleared the FBI database of criminal convictions and arrests, but whose names have not yet cleared the FBI's criminal or intelligence files after six months of waiting. The immigrants who are granted permanent status, more commonly known as getting their green cards, will be expected eventually to clear the FBI's name check. If they don't, their...

RESOLUTION FIGHTS NORTH AMERICAN UNION

Tell Congress U.S. should withdraw from Security and Prosperity Partnership Alert: A state lawmaker in Utah has introduced a resolution encouraging the U.S. to withdraw from the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America and any other bilateral activity that would move the country toward an EU-style continental merger. Republican state Rep. Stephen Sandstrom introduced House Resolution 1 to the Utah legislature this week after a similar measure passed the House last year by a 47-24 vote but was blocked by a Senate committee just before the session's close. "I feel confident we will get this resolution passed this year," Sandstrom said. "We learned a lot last year about our opponents, and this year we are better prepared to anticipate...

MEXICAN TRUCKS IN U.S. SPARKS FIRING CALL

Tell Congress to Stop Funding for Mexican Trucks. Alert: A poster urging the firing of Transportation Secretary Mary Peters on display at the Navy Yard Metro stop near the DOT building in Washington, D.C. Teamsters are launching a nationwide campaign to fire U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters for what they say is her "unlawful decision" to keep the American border open to Mexican trucks. As reported, the Bush administration has decided to ignore a provision passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush as part of the 2008 omnibus spending bill that was intended to remove funding from the 2008 DOT appropriations bill for the Mexican truck demonstration project. "It's a disgrace that Mary Peters is still...

NO REBATE CHECKS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS

Tell Congress No rebate checks for illegal aliens... PERIOD! Alert: When word got out that illegal aliens could receive "rebate checks" from the House-passed version of the proposed Bush stimulus package, House leaders immediately denied it! A spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner told the press, "A number of press reports have suggested the economic growth bill passed by the House on Tuesday contains language that would somehow enable illegal immigrants to receive a tax rebate. That is not accurate. The bill includes language similar to the provisions included in the 2001 and 2003 tax relief bills designed specifically to prevent illegal immigrants from receiving benefits." But Members of the Senate Finance Committee thought otherwise and in an attempt...

STOP ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM GETTING DRIVER'S LICENSES

Tell Your Congressman to Co-sponsor New King Bill ALERT: A recent Washington Times national poll showed 77 percent of Americans believe illegal aliens shouldn't be allowed to have driver's licenses. Even Democrat pollsters Stan Greenberg and James Carville found that two-thirds of surveyed voters oppose them -- and the "safety" argument doesn't even put a dent in the widespread conviction that granting a driver's license rewards illegal behavior. We're not surprised about that. Illegal immigration is a major concern in America -- one that the political "leaders" in Washington, D.C., refuse to deal with. And where do the two leading Democrat contenders for President stand on this issue? Both of them want driver's licenses to illegal aliens! WE MUST STOP...
