Many well-intended organizations and individuals are promoting the passage of H.R. 2885, Rep. Lamar Smith's "Legal Workforce Act." Californians for Populations Stabilization (CAPS), in a October 6, 2011 press release /email blast stated the following:

"While CAPS realizes that this bill is not perfect, we feel it’s the only way California, the state that has the most illegal aliens competing for American jobs, will have a chance to mandate E-Verify given the current make-up of the state legislature. However, we will continue to lobby to limit preemption of states’ enforcement rights."

 With all due respect to Chairman Smith and CAPS, this bill has MANY problems, and while I symathize with the plight of Californians, playing Russian roulette with the Constitutional Rights of the other 49 sovereign States is reckless and short-sighted. Merely "limiting" preemption of States' enforcement rights is still a violation of them.

A State's sovereign right to defend itself against invasion is guaranteed and protected under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3, and the 10th Amendment., if not others as well. How many times have we seen bad or flawed legislation moved forward with a "promise" to fix it later?

Remember when Speaker Pelosi said we needed to "pass" the healthcare bill to find out what was in it? How's that working out for us, America?

For decades we've passed flawed legislation in lieu of enforcing the laws already on the books. Congress "authorizes" an enforcement bill, and then either never "appropriates funds" to enforce it, or strips the funding later, thereby neutering any "real" resolution to a problem the legislation was intended to resolve in the first place.

What does happen is "We the People" give up a little more liberty under the pretense of gaining more security, and end up with NEITHER!

I won't argue that there are many organizations who totally oppose E-Verify, but FIRE Coalition is not one of them. In fact, we have fully supported the voluntary program, while opposing any mandate from the federal government to force E-Verify on the States. FIRE Coalition also has, and will continue to fully support State laws that mandate E-Verify participation.

State-mandated E-Verify participation preserves the sovereign States' right to withdraw from the program by repealing the State law should the feds "change" E-Verify, or morph it into something that doesn't serve its intended purpose. What's California going to do when a future Congress turns E-Verify into the mark-of-the-beast?

Do Californians really want to have to get the federal government's "approval" to get a job? I don't believe CAPS wants that. 

The "Legal Workforce Act," H.R. 2885 also abdicates too much Congressional authority and responsibility to the Executive, further neutering and weakening the checks and balances Congress is granted under the Constitution.

Download the PDF of H.R. 2885, turn to page 8, lines 9-12 and you'll see what I mean. As Michael Cutler, Senior Special Agent, INS (Ret.) stated, "The types of documents acceptable under the "Legal Workforce Act" are a "chinese menu." With many sanctuary States and cities creating illegal alien I.D. cards, and knowingly issuing driver licenses to illegal aliens, the "broken" immigration system opponents of enforcing our immigration laws demagogue as a reason we need "comprehensive immigration reform," the "Legal Workforce Act" will only make things worse.

The portion underlined below is from page 8, lines 9-12, (emphasis added).

I'm sure even CAPS and Chairman Smith have complained about the current administration's "de facto amnesty," as evidenced by President Obama directing DHS Secretary Napolitano to only go after the violent criminal aliens. If Congress passes this bill as is, we won't have to worry about "poison pill amendments." It will be game over for States' Rights and a "lethal injection" for immigration law enforcement.

H.R. 2885 will have codified into law that we are a nation ruled by the whims of the Secretary of Homeland Security, and no amount of whining from Members of Congress will hold any water, because they will have done it to themselves, and worse, to the American people. What happens when Secretary Napolitano decides to "authorize" illegal aliens to work in the United States. H.R. 2885 would give her just that authority.

FIRE Coalition most strongly recommends you READ THE BILL, and then:

  Call the Committees on Education and the Workforce, and Ways and Means, and your Congressman, and JUST SAY NO!

"Feel good" legislation that gives up Congressional authority, (and abdicates responsibility and accountability to the "whims" of the Executive branch), is NOT good leadership, and is NOT in the best interest of protecting our Constitutional Republic.

We the People have GOT TO STOP playing this game, and get serious about securing our borders and ports of entry. There's more wrong with this bill, but as one State legislator confided: "It seems our best hope is that it will die in the Senate."

We shouldn't have to hold our noses, give up individual and States' rights to get Article IV, Section 4 upheld. That's insanity. Protect us against the largest invasion in world history NOW. I encourage House Judiciary Chairman Smith to collaborate with House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Issa to hold hearings on DHS' refusal to enforce our immigration laws.

Freedom Action National Conference

  The Forces of Freedom

Return to Valley Forge

August 12 – 14 - 2010

www.FreedomActionConference.com

  Special message from Tom DeWeese, President of American Policy Center:

  New developments for the upcoming Freedom Action National Conference

• Radio Row: Several national radio shows will be broadcasting live from the Conference, including Sam Bushman’s Liberty Round Table and Laurie Roth’s the Roth Show.  More will be announced shortly.

• Reception for Tom Woods: Friday night’s banquet speaker is best selling author Tom Woods (“Meltdown”, and his latest, “Nullification.” There will be a special reception in his honor, where conference attendees will have the chance to talk with him personally. Also present at the reception will be conference Keynote speaker Michael Badnarik, (2004 Libertarian presidential candidate and author of the book, “It’s Good to be King.”) and Sheriff Richard Mack (author of “From My Cold Dead Fingers”). There will be book signings from these and other authors throughout the Freedom Action National Conference.

• Special screening of the film “Don’t Tread on Me:” Film maker Gary Franchi is pleased to announce there will be a special screening of his new film, to take place on the first night (August 12^th) of the Freedom Action National Conference. Immediately following the screening, several spokesmen who are featured in the film will be on hand to discuss it and answer questions from the audience.

The Freedom Action National Conference is sponsored by the American Policy Center and The DeWeese Report and 23 co-sponsoring organizations. The conference will take place August 12 – 14, 2010, at the Dolce Hotel in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Local action, from strengthening State 10^th Amendment rights, to exposing the efforts of UN-based organizations in our local communities, like the International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) will be the focus of the Freedom Action Conference.

 The Freedom Action National Conference will teach you several ways to do that.  

You will learn from leading spokesmen, legislators, and activists. And you will have a chance to learn in special work shops, and to network with leaders from around the nation.

You will focus on the vital issues of the day, including the dangerous policies like Sustainable Development; biometric surveillance and the growth of Fusion Centers; violations of Second Amendment rights; violations of Constitutionally-guaranteed state sovereignty; the growing government takeover of health care and the use of natural supplements and cures; the reasons why a Constitutional Convention now is the wrong solution at the wrong time; and how many of these bad policies are being enforced through the power and wealth of organized labor.

Tom DeWeese and Laurie Roth will serve as co-hosts for the event.  Featured speakers will begin with a keynote address by Constitution expert Michael Badnarik, followed by an extensive lineup of experts and national spokesmen, including: Sheriff Richard Mack; Washington State Rep. Matt Shea; Oklahoma State Rep. Charles Key; Pennsylvania St. Rep. Sam Rohrer; National Rights To Work Committee President Mark Mix; Gun Owners of America Director Larry Pratt; International ID expert Mark Lerner; Constitutional Convention experts Chuck Michaelis and Larry Greenley; IRS experts Steve Hempfling and Tom Cryer; Illegal Immigration expert Jeff Lewis;Global Warming expert Marc Morano; United Nations Expert William Jasper; Sustainable Development/Agenda 21 experts Dr. Michael Coffman, Tom DeWeese and Michael Shaw; Property Rights champion Dan Byfield; Health Freedom experts Dr. Jane Orient, Scott Tips and Dr. Jeff Marrongelle;  Education expert and author Beverly Eakman; grassroots activists Catherine Bleish and John Bush; and alternative media experts George Shepherd, Gary Franchi and radio personality Sam Bushman.

These experts will not only educate on the vital threats Americans are now facing, but will also focus on action all of us can use to fight back.

• The 10^th Amendment movement is catching fire as state legislators are finding ways to add “teeth” to law rather than mere resolutions.
• Rep. Matt Shea will explain how it’s being done.
• Sheriff Richard Mack is teaching local sheriffs that they have the power to say no to federal agents.
• Local communities are learning how to expel international provocateurs like ICLEI. Michael Shaw will explain how it’s done.
•  A new approach to fighting against federal and state intrusion called “Coordination,” is having tremendous success in helping regain local control. Expert Dan Byfield will not only tell of those victories but will also lead a workshop to teach how it’s done.
• Ron Mann will lead a training workshop to teach new activists how to run campaigns on very little money.
• And Beverly Eakman will train activists how to break up the outrageous consensus meetings that are being used in public forums to enforce policy without public discussion and debate. All of these processes lead to diminishing the power of the Federal Government – all based on local action – just like the Constitution intends.

The Freedom Action National Conference is shaping up to be the finest lineup of speakers and leaders assembled for any conference of this size anywhere in America.      

Be there!

Today, Fox News' William La Jeunesse posted a blog at http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/04/28/your-money-for-immigration-overhaul/

The blog read as follows:

 I posted a comment, but it doesn't appear that it was approved. In fact, there aren't ANY comments approved yet.  I'll repost it here for your benefit:

 If the current group of legislators in D.C. really think the priority for America is Comprehensive Immigration Reform (a.k.a. Amnesty), they truly are the most out-of-touch group to set foot in the Capitol in recent memory.  Let's consider just 3 issues: jobs, safety, and national security.

If the national unemployment rate is hovering around 10% (without considering those who have given up looking for a job and rely on welfare, and those who have been hired for temporary work such as census workers, etc), does Congress and the open borders lobby really think Americans will buy the line "illegal aliens are just here here to do the work that Americans won't do?"

According to a study conducted by the GAO in conjunction with the Bureau of Crime Statistics for Congressman Steve King, 25 Americans are killed every day by an illegal alien--12 by murder and 13 by negligent homicide like drunk driving (see http://www.firecoalition.com/OBC/CRIMINALALIENSTATISTICS.pdf).  The math on that equates to 78,775 Americans killed by illegal aliens since 9/11--but who's counting? Certainly not Congress or the media.

Finally, in case anyone has missed the news lately, the southern border is still way out of control and not secure.  I know Mr. La Jeunesse uses the number of 12 million illegal aliens in our country, but have you noticed that the media has been using that figure since 2005.  Does anyone really believe that no new net illegal aliens have invaded our country since then?  In fact, our own federal law enforcement--you know, the ones like CBP and ICE who are actually on the front lines--informed Congress that the numbers just in 2005 was between 4 and 10 million because they miss between 70-90% of them. (Source: http://firecoalition.com/downloads/A_Line_In_The_Sand_Report.pdf).  If the number was 12 million in 2005, and you are conservative on the number who have entered since then (4 million x 5 years), the number is really 32 million today, and that number is dwarfed by the number of visa overstays in the country.  Now, I know we've really "tightened up" security at our ports of entry and airports, but did anyone check all of these illegal aliens to see if just one out of 32 million might be a terrorist? Because if they didn't stop him, could he have carried in a weapon of mass destruction?

I haven't even touched the effects of the illegal alien invasion on things like social spending, pollution, other crime, and cultural shifts, so let's take a big reality shot to the arm and continue to hammer our representatives to stop pandering to illegal aliens and the open border groups like National Council of the Race (NCLR), MALDEF, and the likes.

Arizona has it right, if the feds won't do the right thing, the states have an obligation to protect their citizenry.

Keep up the fight,

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.

Denver Post Article:

BILL ALLOWING IN-STATE TUITION RATES FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN COLORADO CLEARS EDUCATION PANEL

* * * Deja Vu, all over again. Two years ago, Colorado Attorney General Suthers failed to hold rogue members of the Colorado Legislature accountable for their seditious and/or insurrectious activities against the U.S. Constitution and the federal laws written to enforce the Constitution, and failed to inform the public's discretion, as Thomas Jefferson advised.

Usurpers within the Colorado Legislature are once again violating their oaths of office, ignoring federal law, and committing misprision of a felony, if not misprision of treason by attempting to aid-and-abet illegal aliens with in-state tuition.

Attorney General Suthers, in 2006 "instructed" illegal alien sympathizers how to get around federal law, under the pretense of telling the CCHE they could NOT, by policy, grant illegal aliens in-state tuition. What he told them in reality, was how to go about it.

If the citizens of Colorado don't want to keep having to fight this battle every couple of years, they need to stop electing scoundrels and scalawags to office.

Friday the 13th, March, 2009

Attorney General Suthers,

Your office sent the following to my staff in Colorado yesterday under the premise that you had already properly addressed attempts in Colorado to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens.

“As you can see, we addressed this issue in a 2006 Attorney General opinion: http://firecoalition.com/docs/COLORADOAGO06-1.pdf” 

(Note: 2/21/11, The AG's office removed his opinion from the original location they provided the FIRE Coalition in 2009. Were you to click on the link they provided in 2009, it would simply take you to the AG's homepage. This is not uncommon, when we expose illegal or un-Constitutional behavior by government officials with "their own words and documents." We anticipated this, and saved the document in case they scrubbed the document from their site.)

Your 2006 Formal Opinion as Colorado’s Attorney General does not address the real issue, nor does it give the proper guidance to citizens or elected officials, or efforts in 2009 on both sides of the issue would not be necessary. Your sworn duty in upholding the U.S. Constitution is to the legal citizens of Colorado, and of the United States and our posterity, and NOT to illegal aliens and their posterity. From your January 23, 2006 formal opinion as Colorado Attorney General:

"This opinion, requested by Executive Director Rick O’Donnell, concerns the authority of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (“CCHE”) to grant in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens. 1 1 For purposes of this memorandum, the term “undocumented alien” means an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States. See generally 8 U.S.C. § 1623; Equal Access Education v. Merten, 305 F.Supp. 2d 585, 592 (E.D.Va. 2004) (referring to “aliens with undocumented status”). QUESTION PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION Question: Whether CCHE has the statutory authority to, by policy or regulation, grant in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens. Answer: No. CCHE lacks statutory authority to establish a policy or regulation granting in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens.”

With all due respect Mr. Suthers, you should have put an end to this absurdity three years ago by “informing their discretion” as the author of the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson advised. It is not too late for you to inform all concerned what the Constitution says about aiding and abetting illegal aliens, and what it says about the citizens of the United States being guaranteed protection against invasion. You have the opportunity to do what countless officials across the country have failed to do for decades; you can lead by example and show them all what having a backbone looks like; what upholding your oath with due diligence and a wholesome discretion entails.

Correct Answer: No, The mere framing of the question violates the 14th Amendment, Section 3, if posed by an elected official. There is no such thing as an “undocumented alien” in the context of this question. Since elected and public officials in Colorado have already identified the demographic they are pandering to as non-citizens who are not here lawfully, then by definition they are ILLEGAL aliens. To call them “undocumented” is inaccurate, if not an outright diversion. The whole purpose of the CCHE request revolved around their desire to grant privileges to foreign nationals who are “documented” as being here illegally. How then can we call them “undocumented?” Is it an attempt to blur the line between legal alien and illegal alien; between citizen and resident? Citizens of foreign countries who are in the United States illegally and those that pander to them don’t like it when We the People correctly identify them as “illegal aliens.”

Regrettably, many of We the People’s “employees” (elected officials) are aiding and abetting illegal aliens. Elected officials that succumb to their pleas to be referred to as “undocumented aliens,” have also failed to take the advice of President George Washington, who warned us of the dangers of foreign influence, and the threat it posed to our Constitutional Republic in his farewell address. State government officials, who are also “employees” of We the People, have failed to exercise their authority to rein in the federal government. The 10th Amendment to the “employee handbook,” (the U.S. Constitution) clearly states the limitations of the authority of the federal and state governments. Your 2006 opinion as Colorado’s Attorney General cites in part U.S. Code, Title 8, as your reasoning for referring to illegal aliens as “undocumented” as if the federal government’s failure to uphold the Constitution grants you the right to do the same. Their failure makes your responsibility that much more important and urgent. The federal government exists to serve the states and the People, not the other way around. This cycle of perpetual folly and tom-foolery must end.

A state government which will not exercise a wholesome discretion to enforce the 10th Amendment by allowing the federal government to overstep its bounds is itself in violation of its own pact with the People, and that states’ sovereignty is in grave jeopardy. Citizens of the United States who conspire to pressure elected officials to refer to illegal aliens as “undocumented aliens” in an attempt to circumvent the letter and intent of the Constitution are courting with acts of sedition.

CCHE shouldn’t even be asking the question.

You shouldn’t be citing bogus, un-Constitutional federal laws as justification for CCHE not having the authority it seeks. To suggest that the reason CCHE can’t give illegal aliens in-state tuition unless the state approves it first, or because it might violate the equal protection clause has no merit, and is perpetuating the ignorance of some, and the lies of others. What message did you send the Colorado Legislature, and anyone else who was listening? You told them they couldn’t give aid and comfort to enemies of our Constitution via the methods they were trying to employ. You should have told them what they wanted to do required changing the U.S. Constitution, and that any other conspiracy to attempt to give illegal aliens the privileges of citizens violates federal law and the U.S. Constitution.

You should have told them you would defend the Constitution. You should have told them after having informed their discretion, that there would be consequences if you caught them conspiring to aid and abet illegal aliens in the future. By what Constitutional authority do you suggest that illegal aliens fall under the jurisdiction of the United States in the context of the civil rights and privileges guaranteed to citizens?

The 14th Amendment, Section 1 clearly states:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

According to the 14th Amendment, Section 1, to be a citizen of the United States, and of the state in which you reside you have to meet two basic qualifications:

1) Be a person born or naturalized in the United States, AND

2) Be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

It doesn’t say one or the other. It requires both.

Illegal alien foreign nationals are not citizens, and since their children fall under the jurisdiction of the nation of their parents’ citizenship, they are not U.S. citizens either. Anchor-baby citizenship is a further perpetuation of the bastardization of the interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Their civil rights reside within the boundaries of their home country. The citizens of the United States are granted “equal protection” across the several states.

The Framers of the Constitution were not so arrogant or stupid as to assume they could grant that protection to the entire planet. By what authority do elected officials in Colorado and in the United States government ignore the Constitution in attempting to give the “equal protection” of citizenship to non-citizens? Legislators have no authority, right, or privilege to introduce legislation whose passage into law would undermine or circumvent the U.S. Constitution. The Colorado State Government lacks the statutory or Constitutional authority to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens, period!

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, policy, or regulatory changes to authorize granting illegal alien foreign national invaders of our sovereignty in-state tuition 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, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part VIII, 1324, Section (A)(v)(I & II), and Section (B), clauses (iii & iv), as authorized by the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, Section 5, which was ratified on July 9, 1868. This is not a news flash. It has been in effect 140 years! According to the Framers, the Constitution was written such that the common man would not need a constitutional lawyer to interpret it. Any man who spoke English, and was blessed with common sense, could interpret it on his own. The laws written to enforce the Constitution are also supposed to be written for the common man, devoid of double-speak and fancy rhetoric. We as citizens are often told “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” Well, if that is true, then ignorance of the Constitution those laws are supposed to be written in compliance with is certainly no excuse! The complexity of Title 8 is indicative of the slick-tongued vernacular of barristers who failed to exercise their “wholesome discretion” as Thomas Jefferson advised.

Fortunately, the defining contractual agreement the states entered into in the founding of our Republican government, namely the U.S. Constitution, is quite clear.

Federal or state legislators who conspire to introduce legislation that is contrary to the contractual agreement between the states in forming a federal government are in act and effect undermining the Constitution, and our sovereignty as a nation of laws is jeopardized. If We the People don’t like what the Constitution says, the remedy is to amend it, not ignore or subvert it.

When elected officials, (federal, or state) attempt to grant in-state tuition, or any other “aid or comfort” to illegal aliens, they are committing a felony, to say the least. Human rights, yes. Civil rights, no! Equal rights? Never! In the case of elected officials who have taken an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, there are even more penalties.

Elected officials who aid and abet illegal aliens, or conspire to aid and abet illegal aliens in their insurrection and rebellion against the Constitution should be removed from office, forfeit the right to vote for President or Vice-President, and suffer a lifetime ban from ever holding public office again, in accordance with: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which plainly states: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a two-thirds vote of each House remove such disability."

The “Background” and “Discussion” sections of your January, 2006 formal opinion are riddled with examples of attempts and conspiracies to attempt to undermine, ignore, subvert, and render the U.S. Constitution irrelevant.

Repeated attempts by enemies, (foreign and domestic) over the years to make a lie a truth, and references to fraudulent legal precedent (as if it trumps Constitutional precedent) do not negate the supremacy of the Constitution, nor relieve you or any other elected official of your oath and duty to uphold and defend the Constitution.

In the “Conclusion” section of your January, 2006 formal opinion, you state:

“In sum, federal law requires that, in order for states to grant in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens, they must first affirmatively provide for such eligibility, and do so on a residency-neutral basis. Currently, state law provides in-state tuition status based on residency. Several bills have been introduced in the General Assembly that would eliminate residency classification and determine in-state tuition status based on residency-neutral criteria, but none has passed. The question posed by CCHE is whether it has the authority to make such a change, by policy or regulation. As set forth above, CCHE’s authority under the Tuition Classification Act is quite limited, and does not encompass authority to change the criteria by which in-state tuition status is granted. For this reason, I conclude that CCHE lacks statutory authority to establish a policy or regulation granting in-state tuition status to undocumented aliens. Rather, such a determination would require an amendment to the Tuition Classification Act by the General Assembly.”

You should have said, “In sum, despite the federal law that fails the burden of Constitutional adherence, Colorado will not aid and abet illegal aliens, and will not conspire to aid and abet corrupt or unscrupulous federal officials that are attempting to subvert the Constitution. It doesn’t matter whether tuition rates are “residency-neutral” or not, in respect to illegal aliens, since they can’t possibly have a legal residency in ANY state, and be an illegal alien at the same time. Illegal alien foreign nationals become insurgents when they conspire to undermine the laws of the country they have invaded. We have spent billions of dollars fighting illegal alien insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why on God’s green Earth should we encourage such behavior on American soil when our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters are risking their lives abroad under the guise of protecting our freedoms as U.S. Citizens? You should put every public official in Colorado on notice that you will uphold your oath and not tolerate any further nibbling of the Constitution. I remind you sir of the words of yet another of our Founding Fathers, our first Ambassador,

Benjamin Franklin, who said,

“A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.”

Take back Colorado, and put America and Americans FIRST! Uphold the Constitution, and stand firm against pandering jackals who are putting the jobs and lives of Americans at risk. Godspeed to you in your efforts to protect the citizens and lawful residents of Colorado.

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!!

"And then there's this..."

 In Providence, immigrants begin national rally for family unity

Saturday, February 28, 2009

By Karen Lee Ziner

Journal Staff Writer

PROVIDENCE — Close to a thousand people packed a Providence church last night to launch a national “family unity” campaign designed to draw attention to the disruptive effects of the country’s immigration policies. Organizers said their goal is President Obama’s signature on comprehensive immigration reform.

The 17-city “listening tour” is being led by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Conducted through faith-based organizations, the tour will gather “the human stories of the impact of immigration policies” on “mixed-status” families, including U.S. citizens, and bring them to Washington, D.C., in April.

“We have five million citizen children wondering whether their parents will be there when they get home from school” each day, Gutierrez told an overflow crowd at Trinity Methodist Church on Broad Street.

The congressman and other speakers said mass raids and deportations are tearing apart families whose members include a mix of citizens or legal residents, and undocumented immigrants. Gutierrez asked, “Which half [of the mixed family] are we going to deport? Which half isn’t really our concern? I think both are our responsibility.”

“We want President Obama to keep his promise … to bring people out of the shadows,” he said.

Eight-year-old Jeidi Par — one of three U.S. citizen children affected by parent deportations who spoke to the crowd last night — recounted how immigration agents “seized my father when he was taking out the trash” last September.

Her father, who had applied for asylum years ago but was rejected, has now been deported. The girl said she worries that her mother — who is also in the country illegally — could be deported.

“I beg that you ask President Obama to stop deportation of my mom, and bring my dad back,” Jeidi Par said.

Melissa Arias, 9, also spoke. Her father is facing orders to leave the country by June 12, after entering the country illegally years ago.

In a letter to Mr. Obama, Arias said, “We were a really happy family … why do they take him away if he is not a criminal? I am afraid immigration will go to his work and take him away. The only thing I wish is not to get separated from him.”

Gutierrez said he started the campaign in Rhode Island “because I kept getting told about the city’s large, faith-based immigrant community.”

The congressman said immigration reform should put people on a path to legality.

“That means if you are working hard and paying taxes, and have committed no crimes and you’ve never had any criminal contact with the law — other than your immigration status, we’re going to give you the opportunity to earn your legalization,” he said.

“We want people to take English classes, take civics lessons, get a good Social Security number and pay taxes. And after seven or eight years, if you do it right, then we will say, ‘Welcome.’ ”

The “family unity” campaign got under way amid national developments on the immigration front.

This week, Rep. Lucille Royball-Allard, D-Calif., introduced legislation to adopt “humane and legally enforceable standards” for immigration detention facilities. The American Civil Liberties Union cited the death of Hiu Lui Ng, a former immigration detainee at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, as one of three recent detainee deaths underscoring urgency for the bill

Gutierrez told the audience he spoke with new U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after a raid in Bellingham, Wash., this week.

“She was a breath of fresh air,” Gutierrez said of Napolitano. “And you know what? She told me that raid was done with out her knowledge, and she was deeply disturbed because of that action. She’s going to take a complete review.” He said her response marked “a new time, and a new day.”

After last night’s program, volunteers took further “testimony” from families who may be at risk of deportation, and people signed a petition calling for comprehensive immigration reform.

“We are going to take these testimonies, and when they reach Washington, this is going to move a mountain,” said the Rev. Eliseo Nogueras, president of the Hispanic Ministerial Alliance of Rhode Island.

PatriotWatchdog response:

This article and the conspiratory actions of Rep. Gutierrez to further undermine the Constitution of the United States are perfect examples of "give an inch, lose a mile."

The 14th Amendment never intended for the simple birthing of a child on American soil to garner automatic citizenship. Regretabbly, over the course of time the men and women entrusted with upholding the letter and spirit of the Constitution have failed to give due diligence to the requirements of the job they were hired to do. According to the Founding Fathers, the Constitution and the Amendments to it are supposed to be interpretted in the context of the dialog in which they were written and lawfully ratified.

The drafters of the 14th Amendment never intended to give citizenship to children born of illegal aliens. If the Ambassador of Spain has a child here, according to the Constitution, that child is a citizen of Spain, not the United States. If We the People didn't want to give that Ambassador's child U.S. Citizenship, do you think We the People would give citizenship to the child born of illegal alien foreign nationals?

The Ambassador is a guest in our country and we don't automatically give his child U.S. Citizenship.

Who in their right mind thinks we should give citizenship to the child of someone who is NOT a guest in our country?

Rep. Gutierrez would have you believe that the child of illegal alien invaders is special, privileged. He is not. Rep. Gutierrez is wrong.

American citizens whose state legislators voted to ratify an amendment that prohibited the Ambassodor's son from being a citizen, also prohibited the child of illegal aliens from being born a U.S. citizen.

There are a few lessons to be learned here. Because We the People have failed to enforce the 14th Amendment in the context in which is was ratified, people like Rep. Gutierrez have siezed the inch, and now want us to not only give the children born of illegal alien foreign nationals citizenship, but also the foreign national parents, whether they are here legally or not.

The problem with that is the child of a foreign national falls under the "jurisdiction" of his/her home country. Their "equal protection" is served by the Ambassador and the consulate of his home country. That is true whether he or she is here legally or not. The reason the consulate is a good idea is so that the laws of both countries can be respected and upheld with due diligence to the humanitarian rights of individuals, and to protect the separate, but not always equal sovereign rights of their respective citizens.

This arrangement makes for good neighbors on the global scale. If all the countries of the world had the same laws, there would be no foreigners, anywhere you went.

Our elected officials' failure to honor the letter and intent of the 14th Amendment is wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It is probably true that Rep. Gutierrez knows that already. If we won't let a murderer profit from his crime by not allowing him to reap the rewards of writing and selling a book about the murder, why should we give the illegal alien the reward of being allowed to stay in our country simply because they've mastered the art of timely breeding?!

It is absurd. Since, in my humble opinion Rep. Gutierrez is a very smart and shrewd man, I'm going to give him credit that he knows damned well what the Constitution says, and what it means, but that he is choosing to water down the facts and fertilize the fiction of "anchor-baby" citizenship.

By doing so, he knowingly is violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Luis Gutierrez is knowingly engaging in insurrection and rebellion against the Constitution, and is giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the Constitution, and is by definition a traitor. If his colleagues on the Hill had a spine, he would be impeached, and rendered inelligible to ever hold public office again. That is what the Constitution says.

14th Amendment, Section 3 states:

  "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a two-thirds vote of each House remove such disability."

 Why is this man still in office, one might ask?

The families he is SWORN to protect are U.S. Citizens, not foreign nationals. If he wants to help foreign nationals become citizens, there are legal and lawful ways in which he might try to do that. He could have chosen to lobby for amending the Constitution, or he could choose to lobby for amnesty for the entire planet, so that anyone could live here regardless of where they were born, merely because they like it here.

He could have done many things within the restrictions and guidelines of HIS employee handbook, namely, that pesky U.S. Constitution. Instead, Rep. Gutierrez, and many others have chosen to ignore the handbook, distort its meaning,  or plea to our humanitarian natures hoping we too will ignore the handbook,

If neither the employer (We the People) nor the employee (Rep. Gutierrez) are going to pay any attention to the employee handbook (the Constitution), then it isn't worth the paper its written on, and we'd just as well wipe our proverbial butts with it one last time before we flush it down the toilet.

Enforcing our laws only when they are convenient, or to satisfy special interests or agendas are how civilized nations become chaotic bastians of anarchy.

This sticky birthright citizenship issue keeps getting stickier by the minute the moment you buy into Rep. Gutierrez's misguided proclamation that the children born of parents illegally in our country are natural born citizens. No matter how many times he makes that claim, it will remain untrue.

If consenting adults whose citizenship is not of the same country have a child, how do they decide where the child lives? Should the child live in country A, or country B? The children born of illegal alien parents are not slaves. They are free to return to the sovereign country from which their parents came. Parents deported are free to take their children with them. In fact, they should.

If at some point in time, the citizens of the United States decide to alter the 14th Amendment to first allow children born of foreign nationals on our soil illegally to be automatic citzens, and to further allow their parents to stay here, then that would become the obligatory law of the land.

Currently, that is not the case.

If the only thing Melissa Arias wishes is, "...to not get separated from" her father, then the question she should be asking isn't can her dad stay, but "can she go with him?" Rep. Gutierrez is using this child, as is the church in the most shameful of ways in an attempt to usurp the law of the land, and the Constitution from which that law was derived.

Since President Obama is in such a budget-cutting mood that he's chosen to reduce or remove the tax-deductability of many charitable donations, then perhaps he should also remove the tax-exempt status of churches and other non-profits such as that of the Hispanic Ministerial Alliance of Rhode Island. They, along with Rep. Gutierrez have conspired to undermine and subvert the Constitution. Any monies that Rep. Gutierrez, (or anyone else for that matter) "earmarked" in legislation to support the Ministerial Alliance of Rhode Island, or groups like them, is a direct violation of the 14th Amendment's Section 4. You can not pick and choose which parts of the 14th Amendment you are going to enforce.

14th Amendment, Section 4 states:

The United States can not pay the bills for the usurpers and conspirators who seek to undermine the validity of the Constitution or the sovereignty of the United States. It says so in plain English. I didn't write it, but I READ IT.

According to the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the laws written from it are supposed to be written in a fashion such that the common man can understand it, and that we shouldn't need Constitutional lawyers to interpret it for us. All the Founding Fathers wanted us to need to have was common sense.

Does Rep. Gutierrez have any common sense at all? I think he does. I think he knows exactly what he is doing, as does the good Reverand Nogueres, president of Rep. Gutierrez's co-conspirator special interest group.

When the legal parents of a legal child find themselves unable to live with one another in this day and time, the child usually goes to one or the other parent, or they share joint custody. If they can't decide that amongst themselves, then, and only then, in the best interest of the child, the state steps in and ajudicates that decision.

If the parents happen to be citizens of different countries, then they, and they alone set themselves up for a problem about where the child might rest its head should the parents ever fall out of favor with one another. When those parents find themselves in a squabble over who gets custody of the child, and one or the other parents is illegally in the country in which they find themselves squabbling, or if the illegal parent is repatriated to the country he or she is actually a citizen of, then just as before, the parents, and the parents alone put themselves in that situation.

Why would any parent abandon his or her child and not take it with them when they left a country they have no right to be in?

If you went to France on vacation, and broke their laws while you were there, and they arrested you, and kicked you out, wouldn't you take your kids back home with you?  Would not France make sure your kid was safe and delivered to the airport, sea port, or border crossing where they repatriated the parent being deported?

Of course they would. And so does the United States of America. All this pandering sympathy by Rep. Gutierrez is a ruse, and a lie. He wants us all to believe We the People are the bad guys because we want our laws enforced, and our rights protected. He is spitting on the Constitution and his oath of office.

Luis would have you cry a river for a parent who would threaten abandoning their child in a foreign country rather than take it back home with them. Perhaps they should just hold their breath until they turn blue, like a spoiled kid wanting another piece of candy, or dessert before he finished his vegetables.

I have a message for Rep. Gutierrez. He should stop, read the Constitution he swore to God and Country he would uphold and defend, and then do his job. His job is not to subvert, undermine, or conspire to cause "insurrection or rebellion" against that document. He should not "give aid or comfort" to those that do.

That is his job. That is the oath he took. If Rep. Gutierrez wants to start a "family unity" campaign under the restrictions of the office to which he is sworn, in the context of reuniting families, he might consider going to the hardware store and buying 9,000 shovels.

It would take roughly 9,000 shovels to "reunite" all the American families with their loved ones who are dead and buried because he failed to protect the citizens of Illinois and the United States against invasion. The United States does not deport immigrants! Rep. Gutierrez should stop calling illegal alien foreign insurgents immigrants. That too is a lie. The blood is on his hands.

The Constitution guarantees us protection against invasion.

 Article IV, Section 4 states:

Had Rep. Gutierrez simply focused his energies on upholding that part of the Constitution, we might not have found ourselves in the 14th Amendment arena at all.

Surely anyone with two brain cells swirling around in their head can see the slippery slope we encourage when we ignore one part of the Constitution, and then another, and then another. We end up with chaos, anarchy, and loss of life, liberty, and any hope of happiness.

Benjamin Franklin said, "A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges."

While the Illinois Legislature is in an "impeaching" mood, they should consider sending Rep. Gutierrez packing like they did former Governor Blago.

There is no difference between these two men. They both usurped the offices they were entrusted with by the lawful citizenry of Illinois.

Oh, and let's not forget Rep. "Lucille Ball" Allard from the article above. Lucy has introduced legislation after conspiring with the ACLU because three illegal alien foreign national insurgents died while in custody. While the deaths are sad, Rep. Allard has got to be joking.

Three? She's whining and introducing legislation because of three deaths of illegal alien criminals in custody simply because they are illegal aliens and happened to die in custody? Wow! I wonder how much legislation she'll introduce to stop the horrific loss of 65,000 Americans killed by illegal aliens since 9/11/2001 when she finds out about them?

In all fairness, if those three deaths were a result of mistreatment, or violations of those individuals "human" rights, then those responsible should be brought to justice.Where is Rep. Allard's and the ACLU's outrage over the tens of thousands of Americans who died at the hands of the same demographic she is introducing legislation to protect?

I would suggest she too should be impeached.

The President and Members of the United States Congress do NOT have the authority to grant special protection to illegal aliens. They DO have the privilege of granting special protection to their employer, We the People. Since reading is apparently dificult for them, I would suggest strongly that Reps. Allard and Gutierrez visit http://operationbodycount.com and http://voiac.org, and look in the faces of the American citizens who paid for the that betrayal with their lives!       

You can trust me on this one. They'll find more than three deaths they should be alarmed about. I know it says near the end of the oath of office "to the best of their ability," but if this is the best they can do, we should take the advice of North Carolina's favorite son.

Governor Zeb Vance stated in 1876,

 "When you find you have scoundrels and scalawags in office, you need to turn them out, and keep turning them out until you send honorable men to Washington."

We must have elected officials who unwaveringly put AMERICA FIRST!

Patriots:

            The next four years may be a very difficult time for our great nation if either of the two main parties have their way.  In both cases, “comprehensive immigration reform” (e.g. Amnesty) will be the order of the day.  The FIRE Coalition, along with many others, was successful at fending off the 2007 amnesty attempt through our on-the-ground education of federal legislators in the weeks leading up to the final vote, and we may need to lead a similar effort in the future.

            However, we are not content to sit and wait for the inevitable.  All politics is local, and it is in the cities and counties that the effects if the illegal alien invasion are felt first hand by our families and our communities.  The open borders lobby (and their puppets in our government) would have you believe that illegal immigration is a federal matter and must be reserved for the federal government.  It works in their favor if we believe this because it is easier to attempt to influence (“buy off”) 545 federal officials than thousands of state and local officials.  We know, however, that the illegal alien invasion is far from just a federal responsibility.

The state and local authorities have as much a responsibility to protect their citizens as the federal government; even more so since they are closest to the crimes and can react with more speed and flexibility.  Though cities and counties may not be able to enforce the border or deport illegal aliens, they can certainly seize the initiative and take defensive and offensive measures to protect their citizens.  City and county councils can pass ordinances.  States can pass new laws.  But in all cases, creativity is key.

We have already set in motion our plans to engage our state and local teams with their respective elected officials—and we want you to be a part of this effort.  The FIRE Coalition has had great success partnering with state and local officials across the country:  holding National Security Conferences, Workshops, Training Sessions, and more.   These events are designed to bring creative and previously-tested solutions to the table for local and state leaders to deploy in their jurisdictions.

However you choose to stay involved in this critical fight to defend our nation’s sovereignty, know that we will provide whatever support we can to aid you.  Please consider participating in one of our events or if you would like to schedule something similar, let us know and we can help you with ideas.

Thank you for your continued efforts in service to your country and please don’t hesitate to call on us to assist you in any way.

Keep up the fight!
