> Why illegal immigration is a threat to the United States
>     and how local communities are fighting back
>
> By Tom DeWeese
>
> In June, 2007 a solid eighty percent of the American people let Congress know
> they wanted the government to put the brakes on illegal immigration; they
> turned thumbs down on the President's guest worker amnesty plan; and they
> wanted tax-paid services to illegals stopped.
>
> Most Americans understand that new laws are not needed to stop illegal
> immigration. What is necessary is repeal of some laws granting
> taxpayer-financed services to illegals along with enforcement of existing
> laws. These two acts would be enough to stop the migration. In simple fact,
> they are called "illegal" because they are breaking the law.
>
> In truth, the battle over the Senate's guest worker-amnesty plan is really a
> battle over attempts to open the border as called for in programs such as
> North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Security and Prosperity
> Partnership (SPP). Both plans call for open borders and economic integration
> of North America. Open borders are required to fully implement the plans.
>
> The Bush Administration and those promoting illegal immigration were frankly
> stunned at the force and determination of U.S. citizens to reject the Senates
> immigration plan. Proponents played a very heavy hand in attempting to force
> the scheme on a resisting citizenry. Such powerful forces are not used to
> losing. Today they continue to seek new ways to work around the opposition and
> pass the legislation, as a whole or incrementally.
>
> However, the anti-illegal fervor refuses to abate and in fact, dramatic new
> developments are taking place in local communities across the nation that may
> well stop the unpopular Federal schemes.
>
> Meanwhile, in an attempt to weaken the resolve of opponents, they are called
> fringe fanatics. A common tactic employed by immigration proponents is to
> accuse opponents of racism. They charge that opponents want to deny a new
> breed of immigrant the chance to become Americans as many of our immigrant
> forefathers did. They paint a Norman Rockwell-type picture of honest, hard
> working immigrants, planting gardens, working in fields, doing the work "no
> Americans want to do."
>
> So, in town after town across the nation the battle rages. And that is really
> the point. Illegal immigration is not just a border issue. It is a national
> issue affecting every large city and almost every small town. It must be
> understood that illegal immigration is not just a matter of some unhappy
> peasants hoping to seek a better life. It is a $300 billion a year industry,
> combining the interests of multinational corporations with those of drug
> cartels and Latino street gangs. Caught in between are American communities
> and the American way of life. Some cities, especially those along the points
> of entry at the border have become dangerous no-mans lands, where no property
> is safe, no American citizen is able to leave their home unarmed and some
> politicians turn a blind eye as they profit under the table. As a result
> American civilization is beginning to break down. That is why so many
> Americans refuse to back down on the issue, continuing to demand a crack down,
> no matter what name calling they must endure.
>
> The economic cost of illegals
>
> Federal law (the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act) mandates
> that all hospitals with emergency-room services must treat anyone who shows up
> - including illegal aliens. In most cities across the nation, illegals now use
> the emergency rooms as free primary care. And the hospitals have to keep
> taking them.
>
> Health Care
>
> The annual cost for uncompensated emergency care to Mexican Border States
> (California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas) is $200 million. California
> taxpayers paid $79 million for illegal alien health care. Four major Los
> Angeles hospitals were bankrupted and shut down in 2004. Texas paid $74
> million. Georgia ran a $63 million deficit for 64,000 unpaid doctor visits in
> 2002. Cochise County, Arizona spent 30%% of its annual budget on uncompensated
> care to illegal aliens. University Medical Care in Tucson, Arizona spent $10
> million on uncompensated care to illegal aliens. 77 hospitals in the four
> Border States now face financial emergencies. Legal citizens are forced to fly
> emergency patients to other cities for treatment. Taxes are going up to
> compensate.
>
> Meanwhile, as a result of the Federal Emergency Medical Act, Mexican ambulance
> drivers are transporting hospital patients unable to pay for medical care in
> Mexico to facilities in the United States. The ambulances are driving through
> unguarded potions of the border with "little resistance" at the instruction of
> Mexican officials.
>
> Education
>
> Federal laws and a Supreme Court decision mandate that schools cannot deny
> free education to illegal aliens. Over 300,000 pregnant women enter the nation
> illegally every year. Taxpayers pay for food, housing medical care and school.
> The average annual cost per child for education is $7,161, totaling $109
> billion to educate illegal aliens annually. The average cost of bilingual
> education is $1,200 per illegal student. U.S. schools annually educate 1.1
> million illegal children. Schools have become over crowded and unruly. Teacher
> shortages (especially those who speak Spanish) are a growing problem for local
> school districts.
>
> One teacher has reported what it is like in the classrooms in schools where
> federal tax dollars pay for free medical, free baby sitters for student
> mothers as young as thirteen, and free breakfasts (where "the waste of food is
> monumental, with trays and trays of being dumped in the trash uneaten"), new
> computers are "carved with graffiti by students." "I have had to intervene
> several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many
> illegal immigrant students here in the country less than three months who
> raise so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores) and
> throwing things that the teachers were in tears" she reports. Such is the
> atmosphere in today's schools which are overrun by illegal aliens who speak no
> English and there is no ability to control or discipline.
>
> Moreover, state run colleges and universities are being forced to allow
> illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition discounts that are supposed to be
> reserved for residents of that state. In California, a law, (Assembly Bill
> 540) allows undocumented high school graduates who have been in residence for
> three years to enroll in community colleges and the California State
> University and University of California systems without paying nonresident
> tuition. The same is true in many other states across the country.
>
> The Jobs Americans Don't Want
>
> In 2003, illegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost in excess of $133
> billion, while American college and high school students can't find summer
> jobs in yard care, landscape, fast food or service jobs - because illegal
> aliens work those jobs at a third of the wage - often under the table.
>
> Crime
>
> Crimes committed by alien criminals, such as rape, murder or drug distribution
> costs U.S. taxpayers $1.6 billion in prison costs alone. The figure doesn't
> include the cost of lost property, medical bills of the victims, time lost
> from work to recover, higher insurance costs, etc. Today, illegal aliens make
> up twenty nine percent of the U.S. prison population - or 500,000 illegals.
>
> Latino gangs like Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS13) constitute most of the crime from
> the ranks of the illegals. They originated in El Salvador and today their U.S.
> leadership still comes from there. They steal cars and use them to run drugs
> over the border. They terrorize local citizens with violence. They are the
> chief source of drug sales for the cartels. And they are racists.
>
> MS13 is the largest and most violent of all gangs in the US today. They have
> overtaken the Crips and the Bloods both in size and violence. MS13, which
> began its operations in Los Angeles has now moved east and is prominent on the
> East Coast.
>
> In Los Angeles, Mexican gangs declared "ethnic cleansing zones" in specific
> parts of the city. They kill whites and blacks. In New Jersey, recently, MS13
> gang members killed three college students in execution style.
>
> No man's land at the border
>
> No legal citizen of the United States of America, living under the
> Constitution and the Bill of Rights should have to live as those who reside
> near the U.S. / Mexican border. Here there are no property rights, no ability
> to be safe in their homes, and no peace. One dare not go to the movies, the
> grocery or visit a relative without carrying a weapon for protection. Through
> out the community the streets are teaming with drug dealers, loiterers and
> gangs bent on violence.
>
> The illegals flood across their property having just crossed the border. As
> they pass over the ranches and private property they leave a trail of trash,
> human waste and dead farm animals and pets. Found in the trash that is dropped
> all along the trail are pieces of paper containing contact phone numbers. Also
> found are Korans dropped by obvious Muslims who have made their way across the
> border.
>
> Sometimes the illegals walk right in to the living rooms and steal what they
> want. Many homes on the border are now little more than prisons for the
> residents, surrounded by barbed wire, searchlights, with loaded guns at the
> ready.
>
> The Tucson, Arizona area is one of the prime crossing points for illegals. The
> organization for transporting illegals is almost a precision military
> operation. On the Mexican side of the border is a landing strip where planes
> fly in on a regular basis with their cargo. Some of it human; some drugs. It's
> all the same to those providing the transportation.
>
> The planes land and the cargo is loaded onto busses with the windows whited
> out. Young girls prepare for the trip by taking birth control, for they know
> what awaits them on the trip across the border from their "travel assistants"
> - rape. It's just part of the price for crossing the border into the promised
> land of America.
>
> The busses drive to a specific location on the border. Here the cargo is
> unloaded and the process of walking across the border begins. Each of the
> human cargo is given information on what to do once they reach the other side,
> including a phone number of someone to call. The number is not necessarily a
> local number. It may be a location in Virginia, or Maine or Utah. Anywhere in
> the U.S. The person on the other end gives instructions on how to gain
> transportation to their location where they will be brought into the illegal
> community in that city.
>
> And so the journey across the border begins. Somewhere in the middle, between
> Mexico and the U.S. is a tree. From the branches of that tree hang women's
> panties. It's called the panty tree. Why? Trophies from the raped women of
> previous journeys. It's just the cost of doing business with the "Coyotes,"
> the murderous thugs who run the illegal immigrant trade. They don't care who
> lives or dies. These are the ones who will leave illegals locked in trucks
> without food or water or ventilation. They charge enormous fees - up front. To
> them the cargo is all the same. They carry the drugs with the humans. They
> make deals with terrorists for the same trip. They rape, maim and kill. And go
> back for another load. Business is booming.
>
> Once the cargo is inside the U.S., more buses are there to pick them up and
> transport them to drop off points. Here the phone calls are made for
> arrangements of more transportation across the nation. And in that highly
> organized manner, illegal aliens make their way into American cities.
>
> Some are "Sanctuary Cities" where politicians have decided it's good for the
> community to encourage illegals to live. In such communities no one can ask
> for the country of origin, even if a crime as horrible as murder is committed.
> The sanctuaries permit 20 million illegals, drug smugglers, child sex rings,
> ID forgery networks, and an assortment of run of the mill criminals to live
> lawlessly inside the United States. They are provided with income,
> identification, driver's licenses, credit, housing, education, and medical
> care at taxpayer expense.
>
> As stated, it's a $300 billion a year industry. That buys a lot of
> politicians. Along the Border States no one talks about it. And, no surprise,
> a lot of politicians do nothing to stop it. Our fear and their greed are
> destroying the American dream.
>
> Meanwhile in your local community...
>
> How a community treats the illegals is key as to how many come there. The main
> magnet is the establishment of a day labor center. The nation-wide illegal
> network knows where to send them. If a community opens its arms, of course
> they flock there. If a community stands up to them, they leave.
>
> But that is easier said than done. First, federal laws or lack of enforcement
> hampers efforts against the illegals, no matter the sentiment of the
> community. Federal courts strike down local laws, such as just happened in
> Hazleton, Pennsylvania when a federal judge degreed that laws the community
> had passed to crack down on illegals were unconstitutional. Federal agencies
> say it is illegal for local police to ask if anyone is an illegal. The federal
> government argues that immigration is a federal issue and for local
> communities to take action interferes with U.S. foreign policy.
>
> On the local level too, there is great pressure on elected officials to do
> nothing. Strong lobbying arms protect the illegals. The ACLU, of course,
> threatens lawsuits. But many Americans would be surprised to learn of the
> Hispanic forces behind much of the pressure applied to their local officials.
>
> Many immigrant groups are joined together through the La Raza movement. These
> are the groups which organized the massive demonstrations in cities across the
> nation last year. It is past time for all Americans to know what is at the
> root of those demonstrations and the extent to which our nation is at risk to
> the La Raza movement.
>
> One of the most prominent Hispanic organizations pushing for "immigrant
> rights" is the National Council of La Raza - the Council of "the Race." The
> mainstream media and most members of Congress depict La Raza as little more
> than a Hispanic Rotary Club. In 2005, La Raza received $15.2 million in
> federal grants, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education
> grants for Charter Schools, and undisclosed amounts to get-out-the-vote
> efforts supporting La Raza political positions including lobbying for open
> borders and amnesty for illegals. Had the Senate's immigration bill passed,
> several million more dollars were budgeted for La Raza.
>
> Behind the respectable front of the National Council of La Raza lies the real
> agenda of the La Raza movement. This radical agenda, pushed by secondary
> groups contains the reasons behind the demonstrations and the strong lobbying
> efforts in our communities.
>
> Key among those secondary groups is the radical racist group Movimiento
> Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Astlan (MEChA).
> MEChA seeks to carve a racist nation out of the American West. MEChA opposes
> assimilation into American society. MEChA is a leader in the effort to
> "Reconquista" or reconquest our western states.
>
> MEChA's founding principles state: "In the spirit of a new people that is
> conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal
> gringo invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers
> of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming
> the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of
> the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility,
> and our inevitable destiny...Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds,
> water the fields, and gather the crops and no to the foreign Europeans...For
> La Raza to do. Fuera de la Raza nada." That closing two-sentence motto is
> chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: "For The Race
> everything. Outside The Race, nothing."
>
> These words don't come from a fringe radical element. These come straight from
> the official MEChA sites at Georgetown University, the University of Texas,
> UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Oregon, and many other colleges
> and universities around the country.
>
> Another leading Hispanic group involved in community organization, promoting
> the pro illegal position is Mexicanos Sin Fronteras. The translation of the
> name means "Mexicans Without Borders." This group is active throughout the
> country and many times works with the "Zapatista Army of National Liberation."
> These groups seek to radicalize the Latino community. The official website of
> the Mexicanos Sin Fronteras states that it is "anti-capitalist,
> anti-imperialist in the capital of the most terrorist country of world-wide
> history" (Washington, DC). It goes on to say it pledges its support to "other
> campaigns" of the radical illegal Hispanics with material and financial
> assistance.
>
> In Manassas, Virginia the Mexicanos Sin Fronteras and the Zapatista Army of
> National Liberation are the two most prominent "pro-Hispanic" voices. In fact,
> these two groups are spearheading the illegal alien lobby in Prince William
> County, where Manassas is located. This is the "mainstream opposition" to
> efforts to curb illegal immigration in that community. Together, these groups
> are holding rallies and calling for boycotts and even the violent overthrow of
> the United States. Again, these groups are not fringe radicals. They are the
> most prominent voices for the illegals.
>
> The photo featured with this article on my blog

> Fighting back
>
> While Congress fiddles and the Bush Administration issues meaningless
> pronouncements on "get tough" programs it never intends to enforce, local
> communities and state legislatures are beginning to fight back. And they are
> meeting with success.
>
> State Legislatures, forced to deal with the failure of the federal government
> to fix the immigration laws, have considered 1,404 immigration bills this year
> and enacted 170 of them. These laws are aimed at curbing employment of
> illegals and making it more difficult to obtain state identification documents
> like driver's licenses.
>
> In May, Oklahoma passed the "Taxpayer and Citizen protection Act" which denies
> illegals state identification, and requires all state and local agencies to
> verify citizenship status of all applicants before authorizing benefits.
>
> On the local level incredible success is being achieved in Northern Virginia.
> Last year two residents of Herndon, Virginia, with no prior political
> experience, began an effort called Save Herndon. The issue was the
> establishment of a day labor center in the community. The center would give
> illegals a gathering place in the community to help them get jobs,
> identification and benefits from the community.
>
> The two began a campaign that at once made a major issue out of the
> establishment of the center. When the mayor and the city council moved forward
> and voted to establish the center over the objections of a majority of the
> citizens, Save Herndon began a campaign to assure these representatives were
> not re-elected. They succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, helping to
> out the mayor and everyone on the city council who voted for the center.
>
> Now the movement is growing across the Northern Virginia area. There is now
> Help Save Manassas, Help Save Loudoun (County), Help Save Fairfax, Help Save
> Virginia and Help Save Maryland. Together these purely grassroots movements
> have succeeded in enacting legislation in Loudoun County (the nation's fastest
> growing county) and in its neighbor, Prince William County which stops county
> tax-payer services to illegals. Incredibly, under challenge from federal and
> state officials, the members of county commissioners are holding tough behind
> the laws.
>
> The key, as stated earlier, is the day labor centers. If your city has one,
> then the message has gone out to the illegal infrastructure that your
> community welcomes them. Get rid of it and send the message that they are no
> longer welcome. If faced with lawsuits from the ACLU and La Raze, welcome
> them. Tell them you will gladly have a news conference to discuss their suit
> in front of the cameras. Do not be afraid.
>
> Here are a few guidelines to help organize locally and face the coming
