A sense of shock and dismay is sweeping across America today as citizens learn of President Obama's authoritarian decree creating a form of Amnesty for illegal aliens. This act defies existing federal law, the US Constitution, the will of the Congress, and the will of the American public.

"Obama has just created a constitutional crisis by nullifying the US Constitution, existing federal immigration laws, the votes of the Congress, and every vote cast and e-mail sent by Americans who have defeated this Amnesty legislation eight times in the last six years," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "This is the death of a nation. This is the fall of the American Republic and the loss of all that our forebears have fought to build and preserve."

The US Constitution says that the American public is to dictate immigration policy via their elected representatives to the Congress. The public has spoken to elected members who oppose the steps Obama has taken. The election results have been nullified by Obama's actions, and the US Constitution has been rendered meaningless.

Existing federal laws say that illegal immigrants are prohibited from holding jobs in America and are to be deported when detected. Obama's orders change existing federal laws to allow millions of illegal aliens to forgo deportation and to take jobs American workers and legal immigrants need.

"We call on every member of the Congress and every presidential candidate to strongly condemn President Obama's actions today!" said William Gheen. "We call on the American public to get on the phones to the Congress to let them know these orders cannot stand. We need Americans to prepare to take to the streets if necessary to demand the removal of Obama."

Obama's orders to stop the deportation of illegal aliens is probably in response to the fact that more illegal aliens are leaving America because of the bad economy and increased enforcement efforts in states like Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Indiana. Each of these states reports an exodus of illegal aliens leaving in response to news that existing federal laws will be enforced by state governments.

ALIPAC is calling on Americans of every race, political party, and walk of life to unify in opposition to Barack Obama's dictatorial actions.

"We will no longer call him President Obama because he has nullified his legitimacy as president," said William Gheen. "He has declared himself a dictator and a traitor to the Republic. He is violating federal law by aiding illegal immigrants and he is violating the US Constitution by aiding an invasion of America. Obama must be stopped."

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is dedicated to peaceful and political resolutions to this crisis, yet we acknowledge that President Obama's actions have just deprived Americans of their civil rights and political representation.

New DHS rules cancel deportations

The Homeland Security Department said Thursday it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria such as attending school, having family in the military or are primarily responsible for other family members’ care.

The move, announced in letters to Congress, won immediate praise from Hispanic activists and Democrats who had chided President Obama for months for the pace of deportations and had argued he had authority to exempt broad swaths of illegal immigrants from deportation.

“Today’s announcement shows that this president is willing to put muscle behind his words and to use his power to intervene when the lives of good people are being ruined by bad laws,” said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat.

In the letters to Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said her department and the Justice Department will review all ongoing cases and see who meets the new criteria on a case-by-case basis.

“This case-by-case approach will enhance public safety,” she said. “Immigration judges will be able to more swiftly adjudicate high priority cases, such as those involving convicted felons.”

The new rules apply to those who have been apprehended and are in deportation proceedings, but have not been officially ordered out of the country by a judge. Miss Napolitano said a working group will try to come up with “guidance on how to provide for appropriate discretionary consideration” for “compelling cases” in those instances where someone has already been ordered deported.

It was unclear how many people might be affected by the new rules, though in fiscal year 2010 the government deported nearly 200,000 illegal immigrants who it said did not have criminal records.

The Obama administration has argued for months that it did not have authority to grant blanket absolution, and Miss Napolitano stressed that these cases will be treated individually, though the new guidance applies across the board.

In June, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that handles interior immigration law enforcement, issued new guidance expanding authority to decline to prosecute illegal immigrants. The goal, ICE leaders said, was to focus on their priority of catching illegal immigrants who have also committed other crimes or are part of gangs.

The chief beneficiaries of the new guidance are likely to be illegal immigrant students who would have been eligible for legal status under the Dream Act, which stalled in Congress last year.

“Today is a victory not just for immigrants but for the American people as a whole because it makes no sense to deport Dream Act students and others who can make great contributions to America and pose no threat,” Mr. Gutierrez said. “It is not in our national interest to send away young people who were raised in the U.S. and have been educated here and want only to contribute to this country’s success. “

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat who earlier this year wrote asking Homeland Security to exempt illegal immigrant students from deportation, said the move will free up immigration courts to handle cases involving serious criminals.

Both men said, though, that they will continue to push for legislation that would grant a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants and expands new pathways for more immigrants to come legally in the future.

But groups pushing for a crackdown on illegal immigration said the administration’s move abused the Constitution by usurping a power Congress should have.

“Supporters of comprehensive and targeted amnesties for illegal aliens have consistently failed to win approval by Congress or gain support from the American public,” said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. “Having failed in the legislative process, the Obama administration has simply decided to usurp Congress’s constitutional authority and implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens.”

The Central Intelligence Agency was intimately involved with the federal government’s infamous “Operation Fast and Furious” scheme to send American weapons to Mexican drug cartels while simultaneously working with other agencies allowing narcotics to be shipped over the border, according to a series of explosive reports.

Citing an unnamed CIA source, a Washington Times article theorizes that U.S. officials were actively aiding organizations such as the Sinaloa cartel with guns and immunity in an effort to stymie Los Zetas. That’s because, according to the piece, the powerful and brutal criminal Zetas syndicate has the potential to overthrow the government of Mexico — and might be planning to do so.

Apparently the secretive U.S. intelligence agency also played a key role in creating and using the American government’s gun-running program to arm certain criminal organizations. The scheme, which has already been implicated in countless deaths including the murders of several U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officers, saw thousands of high-powered American guns delivered to multiple cartels.

“The CIA’s motive is clear enough: The U.S. government is afraid the Los Zetas drug cartel will mount a successful coup d’etat against the government of [Mexican President] Felipe Calderón,” wrote Robert Farago and Ralph Dixon in the Times’ report, entitled “Was CIA behind Operation Fast and Furious?”

According to the article, which also cites former CIA officials and even ex-Drug Enforcement Administration boss Phil Jordan, Los Zetas has already prepared to disrupt and possibly even subvert Mexico’s 2012 national election. Ironically, many leaders of the criminal empire supposedly threatening the existence of the Mexican government were actually trained in the U.S. at the infamous military training center known as School of the Americas.

“Founded by ex-Mexican special forces, the Zetas already control huge swaths of Mexican territory,” Farago and Dixon noted. “They have the organization, arms and money needed to take over the entire country … There’s a very real chance the Zetas cartel could subvert the political process completely, as it has throughout the regions it controls.”

As The New American reported last week, federal court filings by a top Sinaloa Cartel operative shed even more insight on what may have been going on. And the documents would appear to lend some credence to the Times’ article.

The accused “logistical coordinator” for the Sinaloa organization, Jesus Vicente “El Vicentillo” Zambada-Niebla, claimed that he had an agreement with top American officials. In exchange for information on rival cartels, the deal supposedly gave him and his associates immunity to import multi-ton quantities of drugs across the border.

“Indeed, United States government agents aided the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel,” the court filing states. Countless guns — via Operation Fast and Furious — also flowed to the cartel under the arrangement, according to Zambada-Niebla and U.S. officials.

But there might be even more to the story than this. Other former U.S. agents have claimed that Los Zetas is controlled and abetted by the American government, too. “There's warehouses down here [in Texas] where they're training more Zetas individuals that work for the cartels,” former DEA operative and whistleblower Celerino Castillo said during a radio interview with Alex Jones.

And a separate report late last month based on allegations by CIA and DEA insider Phil Jordan is even more explosive. He is claiming that the Obama administration was selling Los Zetas military-grade weaponry through a front company set up in Mexico.

"They've found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era," former CIA pilot Robert "Tosh" Plumlee, who supported Jordan’s claims, told the El Paso Times.

Even members of the Zetas have confirmed the allegations, as The New American reported last month. One of the cartel’s founders, Jesús "El Mamito" Aguilar, told Mexican police in a taped interrogation released to the public that his organization was getting weapons directly from the U.S. government.

New revelations also indicate that American taxpayers were even financing the cartels’ arms acquisitions through multiple federal agencies. And available evidence shows that approval for the programs reached into the highest levels of the Justice Department and other parts of the Obama administration.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (still known as ATF) officially claimed that “Fast and Furious” was an effort to track guns and arrest higher-ups involved in Mexico’s criminal underworld. But after the scheme was publicly exposed, countless analysts and whistleblowers questioned that excuse.

Many speculated that it may have been a plot to demonize the Second Amendment and impose further restrictions on the rights of law-abiding Americans. Indeed, the process is already well underway — and gun violence in Mexico has been used for years as a primary justification.

But this new twist in the story adds another, even more troubling dimension to the whole plot. The Washington Times claimed that, in an effort to stop a Zetas takeover of Mexico, “Uncle Sam has gotten into bed with the rival Sinaloa cartel, which has close ties to the Mexican military.” According to the article, the Obama administration was essentially taking sides to help keep the Calderón regime in power at any cost.

But if the U.S. government is also coddling and helping the Zetas, that theory cannot be entirely accurate. As more information continues to surface, the questions are growing in number and importance.

In the past, the CIA has been implicated in numerous scandals involving drug and weapons trafficking. From Vietnam and Iran to Latin America, the agency has repeatedly been caught importing narcotics and exporting arms for shadowy and subversive purposes.

Whether segments of the CIA were definitively involved in Mexico’s mayhem remains to be seen. A former DEA agent cited by Narco News raised that possibility last month, but said if the agency was indeed behind the plot, evidence would almost certainly be sealed under the guise of “national security.”

For now, the New York Times reported on August 6 that the Obama administration was sending more CIA operatives to the troubled nation of Mexico. Congress is also currently investigating some elements of the administration’s ever-expanding gun-running scandal.

But as the Washington Times’ piece and various analysts have suggested, it might be time to appoint a special prosecutor and hold officials linked to the chaos and criminality responsible in a court of law. Otherwise, the whole truth may never be known.

EDITORIAL: Too fast, too furious

Justice Department gunrunning scheme backfires


4 Comments
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES

6:57 p.m., Wednesday, July 13, 2011

The Justice Department’s effort to contain the Operation Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal is crumbling. Members of Congress are demanding full disclosure regarding the bizarre scheme to funnel guns to Mexican drug cartels, supposedly to help sniff out the higher-level bad guys. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. isn’t helping congressional investigators understand the rationale behind this breathtakingly dumb idea.

The so-called Fast and Furious program fit right in with the White House contention that gun shops in the Southwest have been contributing to violence in Mexico. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), part of the Justice Department, started the operation as a sting to arrest purchasers in border states who purportedly were engaging in illegal cross-border arms trafficking. The scheme spun out of control, and the agency reportedly wound up telling gun dealers to proceed with sales even after dealers had raised red flags about certain buyers. In this way, the ATF may have become an accomplice to the smuggling of some 1,700 weapons into Mexico, allegedly leading to the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry near Nogales, Ariz., in December 2010. Two Fast and Furious weapons were discovered at that crime scene, and other such weapons have been found after the deaths of untold numbers of Mexican citizens.


The botched operation provided ammunition for administration officials intent on exploiting any excuse to demand expanded gun-control measures. The White House often claimed that 90 percent of the weapons used in Mexican crimes had been traced to the United States, but the number has never been substantiated. By all appearances, Fast and Furious delivered statistics to back up the figure. Not surprisingly, the Justice Department pounced on the issue Monday. It issued a regulation requiring gun shops in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California to report purchases of multiple rifles made within a five-day period. The timing of the new mandate seems a little too convenient, as it’s not yet clear how much of this supposed gunrunning “problem” originates in Washington.

Fox News reported Monday that the family of slain agent Terry is considering suing the federal government for negligence in his death. If the suit goes forward, Mr. Holder could find himself testifying under oath about his role in Operation Fast and Furious. Alternatively, Rep. Allen B. West, Florida Republican, has called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to cut through the Justice Department’s information blockade regarding the agency’s complicity in the smuggling plot.

Since the Watergate scandal nearly four decades ago, political embarrassments have been tagged with a “gate” moniker to recall the episode that brought down the Nixon administration. To be sure, Mr. Holder doesn’t want to be saddled with “Gungate” or any other description the media devises. Better that he come clean now and cooperate fully with the oversight efforts of Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, and Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican.

ALIPAC is launching two new website projects to help inform the public of President Obama's impeachable actions, while organizing Americans to lobby the Congress and protest if necessary.

The first website is a new Facebook page entitled Impeach President Obama and it is located at http://www.Facebook.com/ImpeachPresidentObama

Americans who use Facebook are encouraged to join this page and share it with others. Important news and updates are posted there daily.

The second website is located at http://www.AgainstAmnesty.com where there is an online petition that people can sign to show their support for the resignation, impeachment, and/or charges against President Obama.

The two main driving issues behind ALIPAC's call for Obama's impeachment are the Gun Walker Fast and Furious scandal which Congressional investigations have determined the US Justice Department under Obama, was supplying thousands of assault rifles to invading cartel smugglers. These guns have been used to murder untold numbers of American and Mexican citizens and police.

Current investigation status indicates that the highest levels of the Justice Department were involved with this scandal, that US tax dollars were used to fund the gun purchases, and that Obama is standing by those who transported the guns.

"Americans are shocked that the Obama administration has been caught red-handed arming drug and illegal alien smuggling invasion groups inside the US and Mexico, while openly calling for restrictions on American gun rights," said William Gheen. "While many Americans just want to see him resign like Nixon, others want him impeached, and many want him charged with treason due to the militaristic level of this betrayal, the loss of life, and the threat to national security."

Obama has also been caught attempting to establish an illegal and unconstitutional form of Amnesty via executive fiat. A memo has been issued by Obama's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Chief John Norton which orders federal employees to engage in policies not authorized by the Congress. In fact, the directives mirror the Dream Act Amnesty legislation which the public and Congress have defeated eight times in the last few years.

"We now have direct evidence that President Obama is attempting to operate like a dictator by trying to order Amnesty for illegals, while directly funding organized crime syndicates with tax dollars and elite weapons," said William Gheen. "Obama is an enemy to the Constitution of the United States and the American public, and Congress must act quickly and decisively to restore constitutional governance in America. It is time to impeach President Barack Hussein Obama."

Just after 10:00 a.m. on March 23rd, 1973, John Dean, White House counsel to former President Richard M. Nixon advised Nixon of “a cancer within-close to the presidency, that’s growing. It’s growing daily.” Within the same breath, he advised Nixon that “people are going to start perjuring themselves very quickly that have not had to perjure themselves to protect other people and the like.” That cancer became known as “Watergate,” and eventually led to Nixon’s resignation.

Nearly forty years later, another “scandal,” exponentially larger than Watergate, has the potential to bring down the occupant of the oval office along with other high ranking officials. While no one was murdered as a result of Watergate, two law enforcement officers are dead because of the current “scandal” that is leading closer and closer to the highest levels of the Obama administration, including the Department of Justice and the U.S. State Department.

Obama’s “war on guns”

After taking office, Barack Hussein Obama began a coordinated effort with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to control the purchases and ownership of guns in the United States. To justify the implementation of tougher gun control laws and in a direct assault on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, this administration cited a statement made to Congress by William Hoover, Assistant Director for Field Operations for the BATFE on February 7, 2008. According to that report, 90 percent of the weapons used by the Mexican drug cartels were purchased from or originated from the U.S.

That stunning revelation empowered the Obama administration to solicit public support for banning so-called assault weapons in the U.S., and calling for tougher gun control laws. The problem, however, is that the 2008 statement is disingenuous at best.

First and perhaps most transparent, it has been noted that only 1 in 5 guns that have been recovered in Mexico actually underwent any form of tracing, leaving 80% untraced. Accordingly, the 90 percent figure is already factually inaccurate.

Secondly and perhaps the most scandalous of all is that all figures cited by this administration pertaining to weapons tracing include weapons sold to the Mexican military via U.S. arms-trading policies under programs such as Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) initiatives. The fact is that the bulk of the arms used by the Mexican drug cartels did not - and do not originate from gun shop sales in the U.S., but from U.S. government sponsored programs that sell weapons and ammunition to the Mexican military as well as other third-world nations.

Many of the weapons used in Mexico and counted in border violence statistics actually arrived in that area from Central American countries involved in U.S. government sanctioned programs administered by the Pentagon and with the knowledge and imprimatur of the U.S. State Department.

Interestingly, confirmation of the government’s programs and knowledge by government officials, particularly Hillary Clinton, was made public by the recent release of State Department cables published by Wikileaks. The cables prove that the U.S. State Department and Hillary Clinton knew the origins of the bulk of the weapons used by the Mexican drug cartels, although kept this information secret for the greater agenda of U.S. gun control.

Meanwhile, it appears that the Obama administration via Eric Holder, used various weapons tracking programs already implemented to inflate the statistics involving guns originating in the U.S. to advance even tougher gun control measures.

Research and investigation indicates that a series of programs implemented under the umbrella of a government sanctioned program known as “Project Gunrunner” were purposely exploited with the knowledge and consent of government officials at the highest of levels.

Project Gunrunner

Part of the Southwest Border Initiative (SBI), Project Gunrunner was an operation that was started under the Bush administration. Ostensibly, the program was established to conduct surveillance, identify and stop the flow of weapons from the U.S. into Mexico and eventually into the possession of drug cartels. The pilot project was initiated in Laredo, Texas, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) in 2005.

In April of 2006, the program was expanded to a national level as a weapons interdiction program under the BATFE, formerly known as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).. Project Gunrunner also involved the use of an Internet based weapon tracking system known as eTrace, a program that would permit participating law enforcement agencies to track the origin of confiscated or questionable guns, through their serial numbers, to their point of origin.

On April 10, 2008, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey briefed the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations on the status of the project. At that time, Mukasey stated that the “ATF has approximately 148 special agents…and 56 industry operation investigators (IOI) responsible for conducting regulatory inspections.” Mukasey also stated that the ATF “is also expanding its presence at the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) which serves as the central repository and ``clearinghouse’’ for all weapons related intelligence collected and developed by ATF’s field personnel and attaches in Mexico as well as by all other Federal, State and local law enforcement entities involved in narcotics interdiction and investigation along the U.S./Mexico border.”

By 2009, Project Gunrunner resulted in approximately 650 criminal cases being filed against about 1400 defendants. These cases involved about 12,000 firearms.

It is relevant to point out here that “Project Gunwalker” is not the name of any ATF operation, but a satirical moniker attached to Project Gunrunner.

Operation Fast & Furious

Under the Obama administration, “Operation Fast and Furious” was launched in early 2009. Under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, The BATFE commissioned gun shops in the U.S. to sell weapons to known criminal suspects. Ostensibly, this operation was for interdiction purposes, but the agents involved were ordered not to interdict the weapons. What resulted was a mass amount of weapons that actually and genuinely originated in the U.S., with the knowledge and approval of the BATFE, being permitted to “walk” unmolested across the southern border (hence the satirical name “gunwalker”).

From early 2009 through December 2010, this process was repeated over and over in the southern U.S. despite the objections of numerous BATFE agents and gun shop owners. During this time, several agents began to notify congress and became “whistleblowers” about the stand-down orders.

On December 14, 2010, the inevitable happened. U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was gunned down in Rio Rico, Arizona by an AK-47 that was “walked” across the U.S. Mexican border with the knowledge and allowance of the BATFE.

In addition to Agent Terry, Immigration Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata was also killed in a separate incident by a weapon allowed to “walk” into Mexico from the U.S.

With the tragic death of agents Terry and Zapata, the blame began to shift to those knowledgeable about the operation, including the acting director of the BATFE Kenneth Melson.

Much bigger than being reported

Unfortunately, the arguably illegal and certainly ill advised methodology implemented by the BATFE is not limited to the Project Gunrunner offshoot of “Operation Fast & Furious.” Other similar operations, each with the apparent knowledge and approval of the U.S. Justice Department, began to spring up elsewhere. There was also Operation Castaway in Tampa, which mirrored the methods of lack of interdiction as Operation Fast & Furious.

According to several agents who are now ready to offer testimony, each operation where weapons were allowed to “walk” into Mexico from the U.S. was approved at the highest levels of the United States Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State. Some believe that operations of this magnitude could not have been possible without the knowledge and approval of Obama himself.

Almost 40 years after the biggest scandal to rock the nation, it is again time to ask the question to Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama under oath and in front of congress: What did you know and when did you know it?

Sen. Charles Grassley, (R-Iowa) ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on a radio interview today, while he’s not calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Operation Fast and Furious, the failed operation to track guns across the Mexican border, he would be supportive if Chairman Darrell Issa, (R-Calif.) of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform called for one.

In the interview on the Steve Gill Show, he had a couple of other interesting things to say.

Subjects: Operation Fast and Furious, border violence, U.S.-Mexico border, ATF, Project Gunrunner, President Obama

He said three things came out of the interviews with Ken Melson, the Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

1. It wasn’t just an ATF operation. FBI and DEA were involved and knew about the operation.

2. This wasn’t controlled by ATF, the U.S. Attorney in Phoenix was in charge.

3. Contrary to the information the investigators had been given by letter, everyone inolved knew guns were going across the border.

Spending bill gave $10 million of taxpayers' funding to effort

Just a day after U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., called for Attorney General Eric Holder's removal, alleging a White House connection to the "Project Gunrunner" that allowed weapons to be delivered to Mexican drug lords, confirmation has come that the program originated at the highest levels of the Obama administration.

The link is the $10 million in taxpayer dollars designated to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for Project Gunrunner in Obama's 2009 American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill.

Section 5, Division A, Title II, under the heading of "Office of Justice Programs," says the money is set aside for border regions.

For an additional amount for 'State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance,' $40,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2014, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to 'Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses' for the ATF Project Gunrunner.

Gun Owners of America President Larry Pratt believes stimulus money was given to a drug dealer to buy guns.

"Ten million dollars, and one of the ways they were spending it was a paid FBI informant who was a drug dealer they had flipped. So he was buying lots of guns with that stimulus money," Pratt said.

Pratt said that the stimulus bill enhanced one industry in particular.

"We can say there's one thing that was stimulated by the stimulus bill and that was the Mexican undertaker business," Pratt said. "Mexican authorities say that 150 people were murdered using these guns."

Pratt said that the gun buyer involved was the subject of what he calls an "aspect of tragic comedy."

"This FBI informant was being surveilled by the ATF that was running the Fast and Furious Operation and they had no idea that he was an FBI informant," Pratt observed.

"But obviously they didn't need to be informed because they didn't care. They just wanted the guns to walk," he stated.

Today, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said he would support the call for a special prosecutor if members of Congress investigating the issue believe that is the best solution.

Appearing on the Steve Gill show, he said, "The point of our inquiry is to find out who really signed off on this operation. Who is the one who said 'yeah, this is a good thing to do.' It might have sounded like a good idea, but it ended up with the murder of Mr. Terry, a border control agent, and two of the guns were found at the scene of that murder."

A report in the San Francisco Chronicle says that FBI informants were connected to the ATF's Project Gunrunner.

Firearms law analyst and writer David Codrea believes that even if there is evidence to prove that known criminals used taxpayer money to get guns to take to Mexico, nothing is likely to be done with the evidence.

"If left to Holder's Justice Department, nothing, because it shows this had to be top-level DoJ-authorized," Codrea explained.

Reports say other federal agencies have also been drawn into the operation. The DEA, FBI and upper-level DOJ officers, including the U. S. Attorney's office in Phoenix, have been named.

Attorney General Holder's office has not responded to WND's request for comment.

Codrea believes that it's possible that ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson's office was bypassed in decision-making about the operation.

"It's absolutely possible and may even be probable that they bypassed Melson in the operation. However, that does not excuse him from having no control of his agency," Codrea said.

"But this kind of thing cannot take place in your agency unless you have unless you have people ... who are absolutely flat-out lying to you," he said.

Pratt also believes that some of the guns were purchased by the Mexican cartels directly from federal agents.

"One of the founders of the cartel, one of their top 14 directors if you will, a guy whose nickname is El Mamito, has said that he was buying guns directly from the federal government," Pratt explained.

Jesus Rejon Aguilar, nicknamed El Mamito or "Pretty Boy," (t)he third highest ranking member of the drug gang Los Zetas, was captured Monday by Mexican authorities.

Pratt said he believes for the guns to go across at a designated location, there had to be coordination between several federal law enforcement agencies.

"There had to be some kind of a deal with the Border Patrol. ... We know that in that '09 meeting that set-up Fast and Furious, those four or five agencies were all part of the deal," Pratt said.

Pratt said that it's not likely that many of the representatives who voted for the stimulus package were aware that money was allocated for Project Gunrunner.

"Anyone who voted for the stimulus bill has another reason to regret their vote. Obviously they didn't read the bill," Pratt asserted. "They don't read most of the bills up there at all."

Pratt illustrated his comment by citing former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comment about the health care bill: "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy."

Several border state representatives contacted about the stimulus package and its allocation of $10 million for Project Gunrunner have not returned WND's calls.

Pratt also said that he's supportive of West's call for the removal of Holder and for a special prosecutor to be appointed.

"This is something that is very appropriate. While Rep. Issa was very correct in his choice of words, he said he didn't think Attorney General Eric Holder told the truth," Pratt said. "He could have said it more sharply, that he thinks Eric Holder is a liar, but it comes out the same in the wash."

Codrea believes that the pressure felt by the administration may be the leverage needed for the Justice Department or the White House to force Melson to resign.

"I think they were hoping they could have him quietly transferred out but he saw what was going on and he has to understand which way the wind blows and he has things on higher ups and they want him to keep quiet," Codrea commented.

"It looks like [Melson] decided that going quietly is not in his best interest. What was in his best interest is to lawyer up and to go and talk to the congressional oversight committee," he said.

Listen in an interview with Codrea: (audio embedded at source link)

Codrea and Pratt believe that the issue is going to get bigger as more details become public. Pratt believes that if Issa's committee continues its work, the entire scenario may rise to the level of Watergate.

"Just like Watergate became the only thing the Richard Nixon administration could think about, I think 'Fast and Furious' is coming to the point where it's going to be an all consuming issue," Pratt said.

"It's going to take the Obama regime off their stride and they're going to have to be playing defense."

Last Sunday, one of the original seven members of Los Zetas, Jesús Enrique Rejón Aguilar, aka El Mamito, was captured in Mexico. Rejón Aguilar was also known as Zeta 7. He helped the then Gulf Drug Cartel leader Osiel Cardenas recruit the original Mexican special forces soldiers trained at Fort Benning, Georgia, to become the most dangerous criminal organization in Mexico.

In an edited interview with Mexican Federal Police (in Spanish and now posted at YouTube), Rejón Aguilar reveals some interesting information about the origins of Los Zetas, where they get their weapons, and where they buy their drug shipments.

Rejón Aguilar probably knows he’s going to be murdered in prison, so he appears to be speaking the truth, perhaps in order to reach a deal with Mexican authorities so they can provide him witness protection.

Los Zetas are the biggest obstacle for the Mexican narco-state. They are their biggest and most dangerous competitors. In the interview Rejón Aguilar reveals that Los Zetas do not trust the Colombians, so they purchase the drug shipments (mostly cocaine) from the Guatemalans. They know the Colombians are infiltrated by CIA and DEA, so they wait to buy the cocaine using the Guatemalans as decoys to avoid being traced.

Another interesting revelation made by Rejón Aguilar is that Los Zetas have operatives in the U.S. who have purchased (at least in the past) firearms and other weapons from different suppliers including from the ‘U.S. Government itself.’

Last March, the Mexican military raided a Zeta camp at Falcon Lake, where they seized several anti-aircraft shoulder missiles and other weapons.

The following is the (edited) interview transcript translated to English:
Todas las armas provienen de EU: "El Mamito"
 (YouTube video available at source link--follow link at bottom of this article)

Interrogator: What is your name?

Rejón Aguilar: Jesús Enrique Rejón Aguilar, aka El Mamito o El Caballero.

Interrogator: What is your date of birth, where are you from and how old are you?

Rejón Aguilar: June 9th, 1976. I’m 35 years old, and I’m from Sabancuy, Campeche.

Interrogator: What do you do for a living?

Rejón Aguilar: Drug trafficking.

Interrogator: For which organization?

Rejón Aguilar: Los Zetas.

Interrogator: How did you join this organization, and when?

Rejón Aguilar: After I deserted from the army, in 1999, I went to Reynosa and I met (Arturo Guzman) Decena, aka. Zeta 1.

Interrogator: Who created Los Zetas?

Rejón Aguilar: It was Osiel (Cardenas), through Zeta 1.

Interrogator: When they were originally ceated , how many members were there?

Rejón Aguilar: At first we were seven. Then they brought seven more and added to the original fourteen members.

Interrogator: Were you one of the founders?

Rejón Aguilar: Yes.

Interrogator: Which (rank) number were you?

Rejón Aguilar: Zeta 7.

Interrogator: What happened after Osiel was captured?

Rejón Aguilar: When Osiel was captured, what happened later was that Jorge Costilla Sanchez took control of the organization.

Interrogator: What happened when Los Zetas separated from the Gulf Drug cartel?

Rejón Aguilar: They (the Gulf Cartel) began to do business with La Familia Michoacana, El Mayo Zambada (member of the Sinaloa Cartel, who’s (sic) son, Vicente Zambada is a DEA operative, according to court documents from his trial in Chicago), with el Chapo Guzman (leader of the Sinaloa Cartel), and people from Jalisco. They created their alliance, and when we broke away, they were already organized and began to kill our people. That’s when the organization was split in two: Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.

Interrogator: And this is when the separation began between Gulf and Zetas?

Rejón Aguilar: That’s when the separation began.

Interrogator: Are you basically at war with everyone?

Rejón Aguilar: They, the Gulf, created an alliance, and we’re at war with El Mayo, El Chapo, La Familia Michoana, and Jalisco. We’re at war with all of them.

Interrogator: And you know La Familia is from Michoacan, El Chango Mendez (leader of La Familia who was discovered to be distributing weapons purchased from the U.S. BATF) went to Aguascalientes to dialog with Los Zetas, was he asking you for protection?

Rejón Aguilar: He was trying to reach out to us.

Interrogator: Why?

Rejón Aguilar: To dialog because they killed all his people and he wanted our support.

Interrogator: Would that have been possible?

Rejón Aguilar: In my opinion, who ever betrays you once, can betray you again, so it wouldn’t have been a good idea. But I don’t know what the commanders would think about that.

Interrogator: And La Tuta (member of La Familia and founder of the Knights Templar)? Is there a relation between him and Los Zetas?

Rejón Aguilar: No. His organization is with the Gulf, so he’s our enemy.

Interrogator: That relationship between La Tuta, La Familia Michoacana and the Knights Templar with the Gulf makes them your enemies?

Rejón Aguilar: Yes, because they’re killing our people and we’re trying to stop them.

Interrogator: With respect to the relationship between Arturo Beltran (former partner of DEA Operative Edgar ‘Barbie’ Valdez who was betrayed and killed by the military) and La Familia, then Beltran falls, then el Chayo falls, later el Chango, what do you think happened in Michoacan?

Rejón Aguilar: Michoacan collapsed because in essence, they didn’t keep their word. There was never a deal reached with them. In fact, when Arturo went down, there was a cease-fire, but they (La Familia) broke it, and they went to war against Arturo and sought refuge with el Valencia.

Interrogator: So after that, everyone started to break away and work for themselves?

Rejón Aguilar: Yes. That’s when the war started. By that time, we were already working for ourselves.

Interrogator: How did you all begin to work independently?

Rejón Aguilar: Since we no longer had ties with anybody, we began to bring the material (the drugs) ourselves.

Interrogator: How do you obtain the drugs? Which Colombian cartel do you work with?

Rejón Aguilar: I do not know. That’s handled by different personnel. But it has always been brought through Guatemala because the Colombians are not trustworthy.

Interrogator: They bring it from somewhere else?

Rejón Aguilar: From Guatemala. It can be bought from Colombia, Panama, or Guatemala. We buy it from Guatemala.

Interrogator: And where do you get your weapons?

Rejón Aguilar: From the United States. All weapons come from the U.S.

Interrogator: How are they brought here?

Rejón Aguilar: Crossing the river. We used to bring them through the bridge, but it’s escome harder to do that.
rogator: Who created purchases the weapons?

Rejón Aguilar: They are bought in the U.S. The buyers (on the U.S. side of the border) have said in the past that sometimes they would acquire them from the U.S. Government itself.

Interrogator: And nowadays, who distribute them to you?

Rejón Aguilar: It’s more difficult for us to acquire weapons nowadays, but we find ways. But it’s easier for the Gulf Cartel to bring them across the border.

Interrogator: Why?

Rejón Aguilar: We don’t know why, but they bring them (accross the bridge) in the trunk of their cars without being checked (by Mexican Customs). One can only think that they must have reached a deal with the (Mexican) government.

Interrogator: How often are they smuggled?

Rejón Aguilar: Today it’s more difficult so it’s more sporadic, like every month, every 20 days, or every month and a half. It’s done when ever there’s an opportunity.

Interrogator: And the drugs?

Rejón Aguilar: The drugs are handled by a group of accountants. They handle that in private. It’s compartmentalized. Only they know how and when it’s smuggled to the United States. I suppose, with the way that things are right now, they probably smuggle the drug shipments every two or three months.

Interrogator: How are the drug shipments smuggled to the U.S.?

Rejón Aguilar: They bring it to the U.S. through Laredo, but that’s done by a compartmentalized group handled by the accountants. They are responsible for all that.

Interrogator: Let’s talk about San Luis Potosi, do you remember the attack on the U.S. ICE agents?

Rejón Aguilar: Yes. They (Los Zetas) were travelling in a caravan of bullet-proof vehicles. They mistook them for other people and cut them off.

Interrogator: What’s happening in Tamaulipas?

Rejón Aguilar: In Tamaulipas, there’s a war because of the separation of the cartels. But we’re on hold because there is too much government (troops) presence.

Interrogator: Tell me about the armored (monster) vehicles. How were they made? How many of these vehicles were under your command?

Rejón Aguilar: Three… five at one time.

Interrogator: And out of these five vehicles, what type were they?

Rejón Aguilar: They were armored trucks typically known as monsters.

Interrogator: Were you ever prepared for being captured?

Rejón Aguilar: One always knows that sooner or later, we will be captured.

Interrogator: Is there someone you would like to ask for forgiveness?

Rejón Aguilar: Like how?

Interrogator: Yes. Like for your actions, or for disappointing somebody, like your children or your family?

Rejón Aguilar: Yes. To my mother, because since all of this happened, I haven’t seen her for 17 years.

Interrogator: And knowing that you haven’t seen your mother and she’s still alive, how do you feel?

Rejón Aguilar: Well, it’s hard. It’s cruel but oh well…

If attorney general given pass, 'it appears President Obama is complicit'

A new member of Congress who rode into office during the 2010 American rejection of Washington's business-as-usual practice today said that a special prosecutor needs to review the actions of Attorney General Eric Holder regarding the "Fast and Furious" gun scandal where weapons were sold to carriers known to supply Mexican drug lords, and the circumstances make it appear that President Obama could have dirty hands in the deal.

During an appearance on the Steve Gill Show, U.S. Rep. Allen West said the roads that appear to lead to those responsible for the botched program that was supposed to trace guns to high-ranking drug lords are alarming.

"This is just another sad chapter in the Eric Holder book of ineptness and incompetence," West said. "Eric Holder needs to be brought before an investigative committee and if those charges are warranted he needs to be held accountable.

"At least the president needs to realize that Eric Holder needs to be removed from the Department of Justice … or else it appears President Obama is complicit and in approval of the actions of his attorney general," he said.

The comments:
(Video at source link--follow link at bottom of this article)

West's comments came in the wake of word from Acting Director Kenneth Melson of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that the DOJ blocked him and other senior agency officials from cooperating with members of Congress who were investigating the scandal.

West, R-Fla., said the solution is an independent special prosecutor who would be assigned to look into the roles of top DOJ officials, such as Holder, regarding the "Fast and Furious" gun-running scheme.

"If all roads lead to him as far as obstructing justice, then we've got to have that special investigation," West said.

Those revelations by Melson are fueling the outrage among members of Congress who have had concerns about the situation, especially because it appears at least one of the weapons dispatched by the federal government to a drug gang was used in an attack that killed a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Officials with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have been looking into the circumstances, but were tight-lipped today in light of the new developments.

"I can say that this is an ongoing investigation and that when details become available, Mr. [Darrell] Issa [Republican from California] will make them public," the committee's press office explained.

It was in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder that Committee Chairman Issa and Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley said after Melson's Monday testimony, they were disturbed to learn that guns may have been taken across the border by known criminals and that they're determined to learn more.

"The evidence we have gathered raises the disturbing possibility that the Justice Department not only allowed criminals to smuggle weapons but that taxpayer dollars from other agencies may have financed those engaging in such activities. While this is preliminary information, we must find out if there is any truth to it," Issa and Grassley wrote.

The letter also said that Melson only learned about the charge of criminals carrying the guns to Mexico after the fact. "

According to Acting Director Melson, he became aware of this startling possibility only after the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and the indictments of the straw purchasers, which we now know were substantially delayed by the U.S.," Issa and Grassley wrote.

Firearms law analyst and writer David Codrea believes that even if there is evidence to prove that known criminals took the guns to Mexico with taxpayer money, nothing is likely to be done with the evidence.

"If left to Holder's Justice Department, nothing, because it shows this had to be top-level DoJ-authorized. That's probably a question for Issa's office, although I doubt they'd be inclined to respond and we'll need to see how things play out with them as further hearings are held," Codrea said.

According the committee report, other federal agencies have also been drawn into the operation. The DEA, FBI and upper-level DOJ officers, including the U. S. attorney's office in Phoenix have been named.

The Issa-Grassley letter also says Melson was surprised about the depth of the operation

Once the Fast and Furious operation was made public, several agents and supervisors were reassigned from the Phoenix office. Melson allegedly made the reassignments but was told by DOJ officials not to report the reassignments to Issa's committee.

Spokeswoman Becca Watkins of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said there was pressure being applied.

"He [Melson] didn't say anything to the committee because the ATF operates under the DOJ," Watkins said.

Codrea said the explanation for Melson's silence is something the DOJ will have to tell under oath, but he has his own suspicion.

"That is a question for DOJ officials – under oath. My sense is because any shared information provides another thread to pull, and they don't want the fabric to unravel, so they're keeping a lid on all information and only providing bare minimal responses that have been carefully vetted for damage control," Codrea said.

There is also speculation about whether Melson will resign, something that Issa and Grassley address in their letter to Holder.

"In the last few weeks, unnamed administration officials have indicated to the press that Acting Director Melson would be forced to resign. According to Mr. Melson, those initial reports were untrue. Regardless of what we might have thought before about how he should handle a request to resign, we now know he has not been asked to resign," the letter stated.

"We also now have the benefit of hearing his side of the story and will have a chance to examine what he said and compare it to the other evidence we are gathering. However, that will take some time," the letter added.

The Issa-Grassley letter asserts that Melson is being pressured to leave, even though Melson knew that the appointment was supposed to be temporary.

"In 2009, he said he was asked to take over as acting director of the ATF. Acting director of the ATF is by its nature a temporary job. According to Mr. Melson, he was willing to serve the department with the understanding that after a short tenure as acting director, he would return to a position as a career senior executive elsewhere within the department," the letter read.

"However, two days after he told Acting Deputy Attorney General Cole about serious issues involving lack of information sharing, the Wall Street Journal reported that unnamed sources said that Melson was about to be ousted," the letter added.

Codrea agrees with that assessment and says the administration has a political motive.

"They wanted him to go quietly and they'd get their preferred anti-gun advocate Andrew Traver to bring the Chicago Way to the Bureau – either as acting or through a recess appointment as he's already pretty much been rejected through normal channels," Codrea said.

Melson's admissions were made public in a "Tweet" posted by Issa on his Twitter account.

The Tweet said, "ATF Acting Director Melson spilling the beans to Darrell Issa! Issa Tweet! Darrell Issa 

#AskObama: who is right on #fastandfurious: Eric Holder or #ATF Dir.Melson, whom we just interviewed?..."

US president warns Texan authorities that execution would put America in breach of international legal obligations


President Barack Obama is attempting to block the execution in Texas on Thursday of a Mexican man because it would breach an international convention and do "irreparable harm" to US interests.

The White House has asked the US supreme court to put the execution of Humberto Leal Garcia on hold while Congress passes a law that would prevent the convicted rapist and murderer from being put to death along with dozens of other foreign nationals who were denied proper access to diplomatic representation before trials for capital crimes.

The administration moved after the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, brushed aside appeals from diplomats, top judges, senior military officers, the United Nations and former president George W Bush to stay Leal's execution because it could jeopardise American citizens arrested abroad as well as US diplomatic interests.

Leal, 38, was convicted in 1994 of the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio. Few question that he was responsible for the killing but the Texas authorities failed to tell Leal, who was born in Mexico and has lived in the US since the age of two, that under the Vienna convention he was entitled to contact the Mexican consulate when he was arrested.

Topics:  Illegal immigration, Barack Obama, Texas, Mexican, murder, rape, execution, death penalty, George W. Bush, US Supreme Court, Rick Perry, death row, United Nations.

Leal's lawyers argue that the lack of consular access played a role in the death penalty being applied because the Mexican national incriminated himself in statements made during "non-custodial interviews" with the police on the day of the murder. Had Leal had access to the Mexican consulate it would have been likely to have arranged a lawyer who would have advised the accused man to limit his statements to the police. As it was, the Mexican authorities were never informed of his arrest.

In a 30-page brief to the supreme court, the administration said that the carrying out of the execution "would place the United States in irreparable breach of its international law obligation" under the convention.

The White House said it was in the US's interests to meet its treaty obligations.

"These interests include protecting Americans abroad, fostering co-operation with foreign nations, and demonstrating respect for the international rule of law," it said.

Carrying out Leal's execution would cause "irreparable harm" to US interests abroad, the administration added.

"That breach would have serious repercussions for United States foreign relations, law-enforcement and other co-operation with Mexico, and the ability of American citizens travelling abroad to have the benefits of consular assistance in the event of detention," it said.

The legal situation has been complicated by earlier court rulings.

In 2004, the international court of justice (ICJ) ruled that the US authorities had failed to meet its legal obligations to 51 Mexicans awaiting execution in American prisons when they were not informed of their right to contact their consulates.

The then president, George W Bush, a former Texas governor who backs the death penalty, said the US would adhere to the ICJ ruling which, in effect, meant the death sentences would be reviewed or commuted. But in 2008 the supreme court ruled that while the US government was obliged to comply with the ICJ ruling it did not have the power to force individual American states to do so. Only Congress could require adherence by passing a law.

The Obama administration has told the supreme court that a bill has recently been introduced in to the Senate to do just that but it is unlikely to win the approval of both houses of Congress before next year. The White House wants Leal's execution put on hold until the law is passed but two courts have already ruled that pending legislation has no effect on the legal process.

The UN high commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay, has appealed to Perry to commute Leal's sentence to life imprisonment.

Christof Heyns, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions said that if Leal was put to death it would be "tantamount to an arbitrary deprivation of life".

Perry's office has said Texas laws had been abided by and that Leal would be executed for "the most heinous of crimes".

Calling for the Impeachment of President Barack Obama

June 28, 2011

by William Gheen
President of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC
www.alipac.us


Today our national organization Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) has taken the difficult step of publicly calling on Congress to impeach or use any means at their disposal to stop President Obama and remove him from the Executive Branch of the US Government as soon as possible...

We are calling on Americans of every race, political party, and walk of life to unite behind this call for the impeachment of President Obama. All Americans who believe in the US Constitution, laws of Congress, and self-governance of Americans through elections should stand up against the recent authoritarian and unjust actions of President Obama.

Congressional investigations have revealed that the Executive Branch of our government has been arming the drug cartel groups that are bringing in most of the addictive drugs and illegal aliens into America. Via Obama's Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), thousands of assault rifles have been delivered to the smugglers, while Obama's administration has claimed American gun rights should be abridged to stop American arms falling into the same hands to which the ATF helped deliver them!

This scandal is called Operation Gunrunner, Gun Walker, or Fast and Furious. ATF agents on the ground in Arizona were ordered by higher ups in the Obama administration to abandon surveillance of suspicious gun purchases for months, which allowed as many as 2,000 assault and Barrett .50 caliber rifles to go into the hands of the drug and illegal-alien-importing cartels that have killed millions of Americans with their addictive cargo. These cartels have used guns obtained under Operation Fast and Furious in their murders of tens of thousands of Mexican citizens.

Congressional hearings confirm that our American border patrol agents, police officers, and citizens now face assault rifles in the hands of murderous mobsters provided by the Obama administration.

Supposedly, the practice of letting assault rifles freely walk into Mexico ended when US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered with two of these guns, but how many thousands of Mexican and American citizens have also been killed with these guns provided to the smugglers by Obama's regime? These guns keep showing up at murder scenes in Mexico.

ALIPAC has a complete collection of articles related to this scandal online for your review at...
http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-230424-days0-orderasc-0.html

And, as if Obama's treason against the US Constitution, existing federal laws, Congress, and American public could not be clearer, Obama's ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on June 17th to all ICE Field Office Directors, Special Agents-in-Charge, and all Chief Counsel, authorizing them to decline to remove illegal aliens who meet the qualifications for Amnesty under the DREAM Act Amnesty, which Congress has rejected many times.

While not as formal as an Executive Order, Obama has ordered Amnesty for illegal aliens which has not been ratified by Congress.

In fact, the American public and Congress have defeated both Comprehensive and Dream Act Amnesty eight times in the last six years!

Certified polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports and others show that American citizens reject these amnesties by a margin of at least two to one!

Even if you are of the minority opinion that illegal aliens should receive some form of Amnesty for their crimes against America, surely my fellow Americans would not support authoritarian decrees issued by a US President acting like a king.

It was wrong when Bush did it and it is wrong when Obama does it.

This is America. Our citizens are supposed to be in control of our nation. That is clearly not the case when the Executive Branch provides guns to invading armies of smugglers and decrees Amnesty for illegal aliens without congressional or public approval.

Congress must act, and act swiftly and decisively. Obama has proven that he is unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief of the United States. If Congress does not take action to stop these abuses of power, the invasion of America, and the murder of US Citizens with the help of our own President, then we must take to the streets to demand action.

For years we have been asking people to speak out, to vote, to call and write Congress, and to support candidates. Today we have learned that all of these civic actions are to no avail and that Americans are trapped in an authoritarian nation where elections, our Congress, the Constitution, and existing federal laws mean naught to presidents acting more as kings than executors of the laws of our citizens.

This is our nation, paid for with the lives, blood, sweat, and taxes of our forebears, and together we must unify behind the rules and principles that once made America the greatest nation on earth.

Our government must respond to American citizens on these demands or we must make plans to alter or abolish it and its despicable debts. Congress must impeach, charge, or use any means at its disposal to correct the wrongful actions of President Barack Obama.

'What use are elections if the executive branch rules by decree?'

An organization that battles illegal immigration on behalf of the 75 percent of America's legal citizens who want more control over illegal immigration is calling for the impeachment of Barack Obama over his involvement in two issues: the transfer under his administration's jurisdiction of weapons to Mexican drug lords and his efforts to provide amnesty to illegal aliens.

"President Obama is no longer the legitimate president of the United States," said William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, in calling for the action today.

"By arming drug and human smugglers with assault weapons that have been used to kill American and Mexican citizens and police forces, and by ordering amnesty for illegal aliens which has been rejected by both the Congress and the American public more than eight times, Obama has committed a form of treason against the United States and must be removed from office by Congress," he said.



His call joins a chorus of other voices who already have expressed the idea. Those comments have come from a number of columnists and commentators, one member of Congress, a former member of Congress and retired military leaders. Even Vice President Joe Biden, then a senator, at one point said he would support impeachment of a president who misuses the executive power to take the nation into a war.

Gheen cited the developing "Operation Gunrunner" scandal, where federal agents told gun shops to sell weapons to customers suspected of links to Mexican drug gangs, and those weapons were, in fact, delivered to those gangs, under Obama's command, as well as "his recent edict instructing federal employees to establish a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in defiance of the Congress, existing federal laws, and the U.S. Constitution."

He explained Obama's ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on June 17 to all ICE field office directors, special agents-in-charge, and chief counsel, authorizing them to decline to remove illegal aliens who meet the qualifications for amnesty under the DREAM Act Amnesty – which has failed repeatedly in Conggress.

He also said congressional investigations have "determined that Obama's ATF and Justice Department have been supplying assault weapons to the drug cartels that import most of America's cocaine, methamphetamine, and illegal immigrants."

The group is a national organization with more than 40,000 supporters who represent the majority of Americans who want America's existing immigration laws enforced, Gheen said.

He said the issue is that the president "made it clear to the American public that he does not care what they think, what the current federal laws are, what the U.S. Constitution says, or what Congress has ratified.

"Congress must take immediate action to stop Obama or the American Republic will fall. What use are elections, candidates, or the Congress, if the executive branch rules by decree?" he said.

It was in a video interview that Biden, then a presidential candidate in 2007, stated, "A president has no constitutional authority to take this nation to war … unless we're attacked or there is proof we are about to be attacked. If he does, I would move to impeach him."

The issue is Obama's decision to intervene militarily in Libya. Although critics have raised the same issue about President Bush's interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, those in power there at the time were thought to have contributed to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

WND CEO and founder Joseph Farah has cited Biden's comments in a column where he said, "Never before in the history of the United States has an occupant of the White House displayed less concern for the Constitution and the rule of law than Barack Obama. It's about time somebody said it: It's time to impeach Obama."

Attorney Larry Klayman, a former Justice Department prosecutor, founder of Judicial Watch and now of Freedom Watch, agreed.

"From what has already occurred, the offenses of the 'mullah in chief' are 'already' so compelling as to warrant immediate impeachment and conviction for his high crimes and misdemeanors, before the United States is totally destroyed by him," he wrote.

He cited Obama's decision to refuse to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act, his pursuit of Arizona in court over its decision to defend its citizens from illegal aliens invading the state, his "visceral hatred and subversion of the state of Israel," and others.

The first statement from a member of Congress on the issue came from U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who responded to this question from Think Progress:

"I know Newt Gingrich has came out (sic) and said if they don't reverse course [regarding trials for terror suspects] here, we ought to be talking about possibly impeaching either Attorney General [Eric] Holder or even President Obama to try to get them to reverse course. Do you think that is something you would support?"


WND also has reported that Jonathan Chait at The New Republic, before the 2010 election, predicted that the House would impeach Obama with a majority in the House, but he wouldn't be removed from office because that would demand 67 votes in the Senate.

"Hear me now and believe me later ... They won't do it right away. And they won't succeed in removing Obama. (You need 67 Senate votes.) But if Obama wins a second term, the House will vote to impeach him before he leaves office," Chait wrote.

In his explanation of why he believes an impeachment could be forthcoming, Chait says the reason itself actually won't matter.

"Wait, you say. What will they impeach him over? You can always find something. Mini-scandals break out regularly in Washington. Last spring, the political press erupted in a frenzy over the news that the White House had floated a potential job to prospective Senate candidate Joe Sestak. On a scale of one to 100, with one representing presidential jaywalking and 100 representing Watergate, the Sestak job offer probably rated about a 1.5. Yet it was enough that GOP Representative Darrell Issa called the incident an impeachable offense," Chait wrote.

WND also reported earlier when Maj. Gen. Jerry Curry, who served in Vietnam and commanded the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground during his long military career, suggested Congress should simply hand Obama an ultimatum.

"Action should be taken by the Senate and should be taken by the House," he said. "They should serve notice on him and say, 'Mr. President, we love you but we want to tell you something. You're under a cloud of suspicion. We can't continue running this country with you in charge under this cloud. Now either you clear it up or you resign from office.'"

He was answering questions on Stan Solomon's "Talk to Solomon" show:

Further, retired U.S. Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely,  a noted military leader who now is a presence on the Internet with his Stand Up For America  and Veterans Defenders websites, earlier told WND he believes Obama should resign.

Vallely, who served in Vietnam and retired in 1991 from the U.S. Army as deputy commanding general for the Pacific, said, "We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetoro (aka President Barack Hussein Obama) … based on incompetence, deceit, fraud, corruption, dishonesty and violation of the U.S. oath of office and the Constitution."

"We can wait no longer for a traditional change of power and new government," he has warned.

"'We the People' have had enough. Enough is enough. The Obama White House and identifiable members of Congress are now on a progressive-socialist, treasonous death march and are bankrupting and weakening the country. We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office. 'We the People' cannot wait for and solely rely on the next round of elections in November of this year. It is now and each day that these public servants must put the citizen's interests above self-interest by resigning immediately," he said.

Peter Ferrara, on the American Spectator website, also has predicted Obama's resignation.

"I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it [to 2012]," he wrote. "I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012," Ferrera said.

WND also reported that former congressman and GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo said for current members of the House and Senate to uphold their oath to defend the United States against enemies "foreign and domestic," they need to file impeachment charges against Obama.

Tancredo wrote in an opinion piece in the Washington Times that Obama's "refusal to live up to his own oath of office – which includes the duty to defend the United States against foreign invasion – requires senators and representatives to live up to their oaths. Members of Congress must defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Today, that means bringing impeachment charges against Mr. Obama."

At the same time, Times columnist Jeffrey T. Kuhner, who also is president of the Edmund Burke Institute, wrote, "President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached."

Kuhner continued, "He is slowly – piece by painful piece – erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there – yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above – one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go."

Floyd and Mary Beth Brown, in a WND column, discussed the ImpeachObamaCampaign.com they launched. 

And at the Taking America Back 2010 conference in Miami in September, Floyd Brown expanded on the idea.

Brown, president of the Western Center for Journalism, said, "The Obama presidency is a disease. … Article 2, Section 4 (the impeachment clause of the Constitution) is the cure. And it's Obama's hatred of America that makes it absolutely imperative that we take action now.

"Barack Hussein Obama is not some do-gooder that has had his plans go astray," Brown added. "He is not a person of good will just trying his best to make America go the right direction. He is not. Barack Hussein Obama is a liar that absolutely knows what he's doing to the United States of America. He has a plan. He has an agenda. This man knows exactly where he's taking us.

"Barack Obama is a very dangerous man," said Brown. "Over the last two years, we have been watching the slow progression of what I call a bloodless coup."

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is being accused of retaliating against an agent who helped publicize the agency’s role in allowing thousands of guns to cross the U.S. border and fall into the hands of Mexican drug gangs.

The agent, Vince Cefalu, who has spoken out about the ATF's so-called "Project Gunrunner" scandal, says he was served with termination papers just last week, and he calls the move politically motivated.

“Aside from Jay Dobyns, I don't know of anyone that's been more vocal about ATF mismanagement than me,” said Cefalu, a senior special agent based in Dublin, Calif. “That's why this is happening.” Dobyns, an ATF special agent based in Tucson, has appeared several times on Fox News to discuss the scandal.

Topics: Border violence, U.S.-Mexico border, Project Gunrunner, ATF, Mexican drug gangs, gun smuggling

Cefalu first told FoxNews.com about the ATF’s embattled anti-gun smuggling operation in December, before the first reports on the story appeared in February. “Simply put, we knowingly let hundreds of guns and dozens of identified bad guys go across the border,” Cefalu said at the time.

Since then, Cefalu’s claims have been vindicated, as a number of agents with first-hand knowledge of the case came forward. The scandal over Project Gunrunner led to congressional hearings, a presidential reprimand – Obama called the operation “a serious mistake” – and speculation that ATF chief Ken Melson will resign.

Yet last week, Cefalu, who has worked for the agency for 24 years, was forced to turn in his gun and badge. He can appeal but will be on “paid administrative leave” during the process.

Cefalu’s dismissal follows a string of allegations that the ATF retaliates against whistleblowers. When the Project Gunrunner scandal broke, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote the ATF that an agent who had been giving his staff members information about the scandal had been "allegedly accused... of misconduct" by the agent’s boss for talking with Grassley’s staffers.

And two days before Cefalu was served with termination papers, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to the ATF warning officials not to retaliate against whistleblowers.

ATF spokesman Drew Wade denied in a statement to FoxNews.com that the bureau is retaliating, but he declined to comment about Cefalu's case. “ATF will not comment on specific, ongoing personnel matters. It is illegal to use disciplinary actions to retaliate against employees, and ATF does not engage in such improper reprisals.”

The ATF's termination letter to Cefalu, obtained by FoxNews.com, makes no mention of Cefalu’s role in the latest scandal.

“You think they would just come out and say that?” Cefalu said.

The letter instead says that Cefalu should be fired because he leaked documents on a website he helped create, CleanupATF.org, and showed a “lack of candor” on past projects, in particular a 2005 operation that Cefalu led. Cefalu admits he made information about the case public but says he did so only after redacting sensitive parts and exhausting internal channels.

In the 2005 case, local police wanted to wiretap a suspect to gather evidence, but Cefalu objected, saying it would be illegal to use wiretaps until all other options for gathering evidence had been tried.

Cefalu was then removed from the case. But he continued to speak out and file internal complaints about what he viewed as illegal ATF wiretapping. And that’s when his life became difficult.

“That was the beginning of the end,” Cefalu told FoxNews.com.

“I had never had a disciplinary action in 18 years. Outstanding evaluations -- above average -- and on the 19th year, when I filed a complaint, I get my first unsatisfactory evaluation ever.”

Cefalu showed a copy of his 2005 evaluation to FoxNews.com, in which his supervisor, Dennis Downs, noted: “Not only have you meet [sic] performance expectations, you have exceeded them.”

But that changed after 2005, Cefalu said. He received unsatisfactory evaluations complaining about his use of foul language. The termination letter also notes there were complaints about his smoking and “even your hygiene.”

Another ATF agent, who requested to remain anonymous but who has provided accurate information on the Project Gunrunner case to FoxNews.com in the past, discussed what he knew about Cefalu.

“Common knowledge in the agency is that Cefalu outed an illegal wiretap quite some time ago, and he has been in the crosshairs since,” the agent told FoxNews.com. “My impression of him is that he has probably ruffled lots of feathers and delicate egos in his time. He is very direct and honest.”

But this agent said he'd “prefer that to a ‘go along to get along’ type."

"We don't avoid or learn from mistakes if we just lie to each other about how we never do anything wrong -- which is pretty much standard operating procedure from what I have seen of our HQ people," the agent said.

Cefalu said his work on the Project Gunrunner scandal likely was the last straw for his bosses.

“I think it’s obvious why they’re doing this. It was my willingness to expose (Project Gunrunner) and support other people to come forward,” Cefalu said.

During a hearing on the DREAM Act today, Sen. John Cornyn confronted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about whether her agency directed its attorneys to dismiss the deportation cases of illegal immigrants who had been convicted of crimes.

The exchange was prompted by a Houston Chronicle investigation yesterday, which revealed that DHS’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials encouraged attorneys to seek dismissals for dozens of illegal immigrants who had been convicted of criminal acts ranging from sexual assault, kidnapping, assault, theft, drug dealing and DUIs.

“In 2010, I wrote you a letter and asked you for details with regard to this program,” said Cornyn. “In response, the Department of Homeland Security assured me that a directive instructing ICE attorneys to seek dismissals of certain classes of criminal aliens ‘does not exist.’”

The senator asked Napolitano whether she could “explain the apparent discrepancy between the existence of this memo and what the Houston Chronicle reported on Monday?”

Napolitano denied her office was involved in a cover-up, arguing that the Houston ICE field office that instructed its attorneys to seek dismissals for these illegal immigrants had “misconstrued” the orders given by the ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“The plain fact of the matter is that a miscommunication occurred at the regional level in one of 26 offices,” she said.

But Napolitano’s response doesn’t completely explain the inconsistency. As the Chronicle reported, after the chief counsel of the Houston office gave the instructions to his attorneys, he forwarded the email to ICE headquarters. ICE officials replied with an email praising the chief counsel’s decision and asking him to share his strategies with other offices.

Napolitano has a lot more to answer for, and it sounds like at least one senator plans to pursue an investigation.

“When an agency not only misleads the public and Congress, but also attempts to block public information, merely citing an unfortunate ‘miscommunication’ is not a good enough explanation for the American people,” Cornyn said in a press statement after the hearing. “I intend to pursue whatever means necessary to get to the bottom of this and shine light on this wrongheaded policy.”

The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama for his involvement in the Operation Gunrunner scandal, as well as his recent edict instructing federal employees to establish a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in defiance of the Congress, existing federal laws, and the US Constitution.

Obama's ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on June 17th to all ICE Field Office Directors, Special Agents-in-Charge, and all Chief Counsel, authorizing them to decline to remove illegal aliens who meet the qualifications for amnesty under the DREAM Act Amnesty which Congress has rejected many times.

Congressional investigations have determined that Obama's ATF and Justice Department have been supplying assault weapons to the drug cartels that import most of America's cocaine, methamphetamine, and illegal immigrants.

"President Obama is no longer the legitimate President of the United States," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "By arming drug and human smugglers with assault weapons that have been used to kill American and Mexican citizens and police forces, and by ordering Amnesty for illegal aliens which has been rejected by both the Congress and the American public more than eight times, Obama has committed a form of Treason against the United States and must be removed from office by Congress."


Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is a national organization founded on 9/11 of 2004. ALIPAC has over 40,000 supporters, comprised of Americans of every race, party, religion, and walk of life, who represent the over 80% who want America's existing immigration laws enforced.

ALIPAC is sending letters to the 137 current members of Congress whom the group endorsed and supported in the 2010 elections requesting the impeachment process to begin immediately in the interest of public safety and civil stability.

"Obama just made it clear to the American public that he does not care what they think, what the current federal laws are, what the US Constitution says, or what Congress has ratified," said William Gheen. "Congress must take immediate action to stop Obama or the American Republic will fall. What use are elections, candidates, or the Congress, if the Executive Branch rules by decree?"

All ALIPAC supporters and like-minded Americans who oppose Amnesty and illegal immigration are called upon to immediately call and write their members of Congress demanding the impeachment of President Barack Obama for crimes against the people of the United States.

If Congress does not respond by July 15, ALIPAC will move to call for public protests across the nation calling for the ouster of this authoritarian regime which feels it can arm rebel groups invading America with their illegal cargo while forcing an Amnesty on the public.

The self-governance of American citizens and the health of the American Republic must be guarded against this form of Treason.

The Congress will be given an opportunity to act before members of the public take things into their own hands and call for a day of nationwide protests.

Report: Feds downplayed ICE case dismissals

Documents show agency had approval to dismiss some deportation cases
By SUSAN CARROLL
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
June 27, 2011

Homeland Security officials misled the public and Congress last year in an effort to downplay a wave of immigration case dismissals in Houston and other cities amid accusations that they had created a "back-door amnesty," newly released records show.

The records, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, include a series of internal memos from Immigration and Customs Enforcement's chief counsel in Houston dated last August ordering attorneys to review all new, incoming cases and thousands already pending on the immigration court docket and to file paperwork to dismiss any that did not meet the agency's "top priorities."

The secretive review process resulted in the dismissal of hundreds of cases in Houston, most of them involving illegal immigrants who had lived in the United States for years without committing serious crimes.


A string of emails shows the dismissals had the blessings of top attorneys at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C., last summer and that other ICE legal offices across the country were encouraged to consider measures to better use the agency's limited resources to target dangerous criminals.

The records also document for the first time that the agency quietly rescinded the Houston memo on Aug. 25 — the day the Houston Chronicle broke the story on the dismissals — amid allegations from conservatives that the Obama administration had created a stealth amnesty program for illegal immigrants.

ICE public affairs officials in Washington initially refused either to confirm or deny the dismissals, and then told several news outlets that they affected only a very narrow class of illegal immigrants with pending green card applications described in a different agency memo. After Senate Judiciary Committee members demanded an investigation last fall into the Houston dismissals, Homeland Security officials reiterated the same claim they made to the media.

However, the newly released documents show conclusively that government attorneys in Houston were given wide latitude to file motions to dismiss cases, including some involving immigrants with convictions for primarily misdemeanor offenses.

"It now appears that DHS attempted to mislead the public and Congress on its policy of directing dismissals of cases against criminal aliens," said Jessica Sandlin, Sen. John Cornyn's Texas press secretary. "After this failed attempt at stonewalling and obstruction of the public's right to know, the truth is now coming out."

Sandlin vowed to "get to the bottom" of the case dismissals, meaning ICE leadership may have to account to Congress for what some critics are calling an attempted cover-up by the agency.

ICE officials declined to answer a reporter's questions about whether they intentionally misled the news media, the general public or Congress in connection with the dismissals. In a statement, the agency's spokeswoman, Barbara Gonzalez, said the Houston memos "misconstrued and exceeded the agency's official guidance" on prosecutorial discretion and were rescinded quickly.

However, the internal records show the Houston office's efforts were praised internally by supervisors at ICE headquarters in Washington until news of the dismissals broke. And immigration court data shows the number of cases dismissed nationally grew by about 40 percent last fiscal year, with several courts scattered across the country reporting major increases.

Immigrant advocates praised the dismissals as a common-sense measure, but the more lenient shift in agency policy has prompted protests from within ICE's rank-and-file, with union officials accusing the administration of straying from its core mission to enforce the nation's immigration laws.

Tre Rebstock, president of the Houston ICE union, said he was concerned that the agency's leadership may have jeopardized public safety by dismissing some cases involving immigrants with criminal records. But Rebstock said he was equally concerned about the official reaction to the controversy, saying it had the hallmarks of a cover-up.

"As law enforcement officers, we are held to a higher standard than the public because we have the public's trust," Rebstock said. "And then they go and stand up in front of the Senate and throw all of their credibility out of the window when they say, 'Oh no, we weren't doing this. This wasn't our policy.'

"They did it," Rebstock said. "And then they lied - or misrepresented the truth, at the very least - about what they were doing."

The controversy dates to June 2010, when ICE Director John Morton issued a memo to all agency employees explaining that it had the resources to remove only about 400,000 illegal immigrants annually - less than 4 percent of the estimated illegal immigrant population.

Morton said ICE needed to prioritize the deportations of illegal immigrants to those who pose a risk to national security and public safety, recent illegal entrants and repeat immigration violators.

The records obtained by the Houston Chronicle show top ICE attorneys from across the country, including Gary L. Goldman, chief counsel for Houston, met in Denver at a two-day leadership conference in early August and discussed Morton's priorities, the agency's limited resources and the need to exercise prosecutorial discretion - the power to decide which immigration cases to pursue.

Goldman sent out a memo dated Aug. 12 to all his attorneys, ordering them to consider filing motions to dismiss cases that did not meet with the agency's top priorities. He also created a task force of attorneys to conduct a review of thousands of files on Houston's immigration court docket to determine whether they merited dismissal, the memo shows.

Moments after Goldman emailed the memo to his staff in Houston, he forwarded it to ICE leadership in Washington. Riah Ramlogan, then the acting field director for the ICE's legal office at agency headquarters, replied: "Outstanding, Gary," and asked him to share details of the local effort on the next national conference call for top ICE attorneys.

Within days, Houston immigration attorneys started getting copies of unsolicited motions to dismiss their clients' cases in the mail. Some reported appearing in court to find government attorneys requesting judges terminate removal proceedings in case after case. The dismissals involved a wide range of cases, from college students brought to the U.S. as children, to asylum-seekers, and to seriously ill immigrants.

It was unclear from the documents, some of which were heavily redacted, exactly how the Houston office handled cases involving illegal immigrants with criminal records. The memos instructed attorneys to consider the seriousness of the crimes and how long ago the illegal immigrants were convicted against other factors, the records show.

The documents included a redacted spreadsheet of 78 motions to dismiss filed by Houston ICE attorneys on behalf of immigrants with criminal convictions - ranging from minor traffic offenses to sexual assault.

ICE spokesman Brian Hale, who reviewed an unredacted copy of the spreadsheet, said several of the immigrants with the most serious criminal convictions - including sexual assaults and attempted murder - had their cases dismissed because they were found to be U.S. citizens. The list also included potential witnesses to crimes or fugitives whose cold cases were clogging up the docket, Hale said.

Other cases involved illegal immigrants who had lived in the U.S. for years and had relatively minor convictions, including traffic, drug and alcohol-related offenses, Hale said. Many of those cases involved people with U.S.-citizen relatives or other compelling humanitarian grounds for dismissals, such as a serious illness, he said.

In his memos, Goldman urged attorneys to err on the side of caution and not to exercise discretion "in cases where criminal activity or public safety is at issue."

The internal records show that Raphael Choi, Arlington's chief counsel, sent an Aug. 18 email to Goldman and the head of the Miami ICE office, praising them for leading the way on the dismissals and lamenting that he'd fallen "way behind."

"We continue to review cases piecemeal," Choi wrote. "The problem is every time I'm about to wield a blunt instrument to our docket, some case shows up in the press that gives me pause."

After the Chronicle's Aug. 25 story on the dismissals, Ramlogan, the ICE supervisor in Washington, ordered Goldman to rescind the Houston memo, the records show.

ICE public affairs officials in Washington told reporters from the New York Times, the Miami Herald and Fox News that the dismissals affected a very specific group of illegal immigrants described in an Aug. 20 memo from Morton, the ICE director. That memo instructed ICE attorneys nationwide to consider dismissing only cases involving immigrants in removal proceedings who had active green card applications.

The recently obtained records show that through Aug. 24, ICE officials in Houston had already reviewed 1,924 cases and filed motions to dismiss 246. An internal ICE memo shows the actual number of cases in which local attorneys exercised prosecutorial discretion was actually much higher by the end of October, however, involving a total of about 445 cases.

In late October, Cornyn and other GOP senators on the judiciary committee demanded more information on the Houston dismissals, accusing Homeland Security officials of "selectively enforcing the laws against only those aliens it considers a priority."

In a written response, a top DHS official assured the senators that "the directive you cited in your letter instructing ICE attorneys to seek the dismissals of immigration proceedings involving certain classes of criminal aliens does not exist." The DHS official, Nelson Peacock, the assistant secretary for legislative affairs, referenced the agency's Aug. 20 memo in his reply, saying it "affects very few aliens, generally non-criminals who have married a U.S. citizen."

Nationally, the numbers of cases dismissed increased about 40 percent during the 2010 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, over the previous year, according to an analysis of immigration court data by the Transactional Record Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

In Los Angeles, judges dismissed one in four cases, an increase of 200 percent over the previous year. Las Vegas also had a roughly 195 percent increase, and Dallas, Atlanta and Arlington all reported a more than 50 percent, the TRAC data shows.

ICE officials noted that judges likely dismissed some cases based on insufficient evidence and not just because of requests by government attorneys.

Locally, ICE is now granting very few dismissal requests and providing conflicting information on which cases may qualify, said Raed Gonzalez, the Houston liaison between the immigration court system and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

ICE agreed to dismiss only two of the last 20 of his cases that Gonzalez argued merited prosecutorial discretion - a huge change from last summer when he saw case after case terminated, he said.

Gonzalez charged that immigration officials bowed to political pressure from conservatives last August instead of defending the dismissals as a common-sense measure.

"It's a big shame," he said. "The courts are so overwhelmed with cases that it's stupid not to take these cases out."

The immigration court system has more than 275,000 pending cases nationally, and the local docket is so clogged that hearings are being scheduled out into the summer of 2013.

Last Friday, Morton issued a new memo outlining more specifically what criteria government attorneys should consider before filing dismissal motions in immigration cases. Citing limited resources, Morton instructed agents and attorneys to carefully weigh a laundry list of factors - from an immigrant's community involvement to criminal history - before pushing ahead with deportation proceedings.

Goldman, who penned the Houston memo, announced his retirement last fall, effective June 30.

His supervisor, Ramlogan, is now the second-in-command at ICE's legal office at headquarters in Washington after earning a promotion.

America's third largest national organization, focused on fighting against Amnesty and illegal immigration, is announcing that 22 states now have lawmakers pushing versions of Arizona's illegal immigration crackdown bill SB 1070 following announcements by GOP lawmakers in Colorado and Alabama.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC's activists supported the passage of the new Arizona law and have helped pass other immigration enforcement measures in many states.

Colorado and Alabama are moving forward despite setbacks to the law delivered by lone liberal judge Bolton who sided with illegal aliens and President Obama against the American public and the AZ Legislature.

ALIPAC's strategy to help defend Arizona from intensive attacks from the nation of Mexico and the Obama administration has been to spread the law to other states to illustrate the popularity and wisdom of the legislation.

"Our ALIPAC activists have been working hard contacting state lawmakers in every state in America asking them to stand up with Arizona," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "We are very pleased to announce that 22 states are now following Arizona's lead to pass versions of a law that has the support of 60-81% percent of Americans according to the polls."

ALIPAC has been tracking the spread of the new Arizona law in other states on the website at www.ALIPAC.us which is the largest archive of information about illegal immigration in existence.

Updated List of 22 States Considering SB 1070

ALIPAC has also launched a website at www.AgainstAmnesty.com where over 13,000 people have signed up to show their support for Arizona and SB 1070 so far!

ALIPAC's list of states considering versions of SB 1070, based on news reports gathered by activists, have been recently turned into graphic maps used by the Washington Post and CBS Nightly News.

The list of states with lawmakers pursuing versions of SB 1070 include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

"State and Federal candidates are rushing to display their support for Arizona's law and immigration enforcement," said William Gheen. "We will not stop until all American states are protected from this invasion as mandated by the Constitution of the United States."

Tennessee Rep. Joe Carr , R-Lascassas, said Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer had one question for him.

The question was "Why?"

"I'm talking to her, and she says, 'Representative Carr, I appreciate you and the delegation being here, but I've got to ask you something.' I said, 'What's that, governor?' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'Excuse me?' She asked, 'Why are you doing this? You are the only state delegation to come to Arizona and visit us, to take the time and effort to do this. Why?'"

Topics: Illegal immigration, Tenn. Rep. Joe Carr, Gov. Jan Brewer, SB 1070, HJR1253, support Arizona

Carr said he just came right out with it:

"Governor, Tennesseans were with Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans in 1814. We were at the Alamo in 1836. We got Alvin York in World War I. It's in our blood. When we feel like something is really the right thing to do, we'll fight, which is what we do. It's in our DNA. It's why we're the Volunteer State. We're out here of our own accord. It's out of our own pocket. Because it's the right thing to do.

"She was really humbled by that. But it's the truth."

Carr was recounting this week the trip he and eight other Tennessee legislators made in July to Arizona, where they showed support for Arizona's SB1070, the legislation that made it a statute to enforce immigration law that the federal government would not.

The Tennessee group presented to Brewer HJR1253, the resolution passed by the Tennessee General Assembly to express its support for Arizona. Arizona's law requires immigrants to carry authorization papers and requires law enforcement officers to check the status of those they believe are in the country illegally.

The Arizona law has provoked quite a backlash, including legal action against Arizona by the federal government. Critics have ripped the Arizona law as a sign of bigotry and insisted it would lead to racial profiling, although backers of the law say it has specific safeguards on that count. When Tennessee lawmakers decided to publicly express support for Arizona, the issue became a major dust-up in the state. Many Tennesseans saw it as grandstanding and are still asking why Tennessee felt compelled to dive into Arizona's business.

Carr has taken heat for his stand. He led HJR1253 and, history lessons aside, the Tennessee action still has many people bewildered as to why Tennessee felt the need to wade into the battle in Arizona. Carr is undeterred.

In fact, Carr this week said legislation is being crafted now for Tennessee that would be similar to the law in Arizona. Carr is prepared to carry the legislation, if he is re-elected, which looks like a probability, although he says if others want to step forward they should do so.

Democrat David LaRoche, Carr's opponent in November, appears to have a very different take on that.

LaRoche is a Murfreesboro attorney. His campaign Web site starts right off on issues by saying, "I am committed to working hard on the issues that are most important to my constituents and ignoring national agendas or controversies that only have a distant impact on Rutherford County. The 'bread and butter' issues of Rutherford County deserve my strongest attention."

That's a diplomatic way of saying Carr is way off base. And LaRoche will find many people who agree with him.

But it doesn't diminish Carr's determination.

"Here's the problem," Carr said. "This is the dirty little secret on this issue. The question is this: In the event the federal government refuses to uphold its constitutional authority and obligation, in this case enforcing the border, what then is the responsibility of the state or states that feel the burden of that lack of responsibility on the part of the federal government?

"As an elected official, I swore an oath, just like those elected officials. They swore an oath to uphold their state constitution and the federal Constitution. We have an Obama administration policy -- and to be honest the administration before it -- of not adequately enforcing the law."

Carr went on the trip with Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro; Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin; Rep. Jim Cobb, R-Spring City; Rep. Richard Floyd, R-Chattanooga; Rep. Jimmy Matlock, R-Lenoir City; Rep. Tony Shipley, R-Kingsport; Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver, R-Lancaster; and Rep. Mark White, R-Memphis.

"To my knowledge, all nine members of the delegation who went out there went on their own dime," Carr said. "I wrote a check. I know I did. I paid for my own airfare. Paid for my hotel and amenities. There were nine of us."

Brewer might not know it, but she has been maybe the most popular figure at Tennessee Republican Party events this year. Anytime her name has come up, Brewer gets applause. It is all at once a statement about immigration and an amazing display of passion about something going on on the other side of the country.

But it's not only about Brewer. Carr speaks with reverence about Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, who wrote the immigration law that passed in April.

"It was great," Carr said of the trip. "It exceeded expectations, for several reasons. We went out there for several reasons. Number one, we went out there to present the resolution with Governor Brewer and Senator Pearce. We talked to his staff about how they went about constructing the language.

"We got to see first hand the magnitude of the problem down there. We didn't get to spend a lot of time away from Phoenix, but we got to see just how difficult the problem is for a state that has over a half-million illegal aliens, costing them anywhere from $2.4 billion to $2.7 billion a year."

Carr said he is well aware that Tennessee's problem is not of that size.

"But if we're not careful, we could experience a problem of similar magnitude. That's why we want to be preemptive in the way we construct our language, to make sure it passes the test of the federal government but at the same time challenging the federal government that it needs to enforce the federal law," Carr said.

The Arizona trip made clear impression on Carr.

"Governor Brewer is a very busy person. She's in demand. I expected to meet her but only briefly. She spent an hour with us," Carr said. "We talked in detail about a variety of things involving the issue. That was educational. I didn't expect the time and attention from Senator Pearce and his staff in discussing at-length how the legislation was constructed and the background involved in doing that.

"Later there was the memorial service for men and women who served to protect our borders who died while doing that. We were out there for 32 hours. It was time well spent."

Nine lawmakers. Flying across the country. Taking up another state's issue. The only state delegation to do so. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Then you look at the Mason Dixon poll conducted in July for the Tennessee Newspaper Network, comprised of the state's largest newspapers, and 72 percent of voters in Tennessee say they would support an immigration law similar to that in Arizona.

DENVER - Colorado Republican lawmakers say they want to introduce legislation similar to Arizona's strict immigration law and they're getting pointers from legislators in Phoenix.

Colorado is the latest state to send a delegation of lawmakers to Arizona to talk about adopting a law similar to the one being challenged by the federal government.


Eleven members of Colorado's Republican Study Committee are meeting with Arizona legislators this week to get advice on the immigration law and how they're defending it in court. A federal judge blocked most of the controversial aspects of Arizona's law a day before it was going to take effect.

Tennessee and Utah are among the other states who sent delegations to Arizona.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.

Republican candidates hoping to end Democratic dominance of the Alabama Legislature unveiled an agenda Monday that includes passing an Arizona-style immigration law and prohibiting the federal government from compelling any Alabamian to participate in a health care system.

House Minority Leader Mike Hubbard, who's also chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, said all Republican candidates for the Legislature are supporting the "2010 Republican Handshake with Alabama," and its passage depends on Republicans taking control of the Legislature for the first time in 136 years.


To try to accomplish that, GOP candidates are doing more than saying what they will do. Hubbard said they are tying Alabama Democrats to Washington to capitalize on voters' uneasiness with the national economy and dislike of some new federal policies, particularly health care.

"The Democrats in Alabama are no different than the Democrats in Washington. They have the same philosophy," said state Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston. Marsh, the GOP's state finance chairman, was one of 17 legislative candidates who joined Hubbard to unveil the legislative agenda.

The agenda calls for passing a state constitutional prohibition against "any person, employer or health care provider from being compelled to participate in any health care system."

The plan also advocates passing an Arizona-style immigration law that creates a new criminal trespass statute allowing local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants for setting foot in Alabama. The law would also make it a crime to transport illegal immigrants anywhere in the state, even to the corner store, Hubbard said.

Senate Majority Leader Zeb Little, D-Cullman, called the proposals "grandstanding." He said Senate Democrats tried to pass three immigration bills last spring, including one barring companies from getting state contracts if they employed illegal immigrants, but couldn't get the cooperation of Republicans.

He said Democrats' focus for the November elections will be job-creation measures, such as the Democrat-sponsored road-building plan on the Nov. 2 ballot. If approved by voters, it will build roads and bridges and create construction jobs by taking $100 million each year for 10 years from a state savings account.

The Senate currently has 20 Democrats, 14 Republicans and one independent. The House has 60 Democrats, 44 Republicans and one vacancy. Democrats have controlled both houses since 1874.

The "2010 Republican Handshake with Alabama" addresses more than immigration and health issues. It also calls for:

- Expanding tax incentives for businesses to create jobs.

- Increasing the tax credit that small businesses get for providing health insurance to their employees.

- Requiring lobbyists to report everything they spend entertaining public officials.

- Banning state employees and teachers from serving in the Legislature.

- Requiring the Legislature to set aside part of the state tax collections in good economic times to provide a cushion for public education during lean times.

- Giving subpoena power to the State Ethics Commission to make it easier to investigate public officials.

Raleigh, NC - The home state of Americans For Legal Immigration PAC's (ALIPAC) President William Gheen has joined the rapidly growing list of states that are rushing to follow Arizona's lead of cracking down on illegal immigration with state laws.

North Carolina now becomes the 18th state that ALIPAC has documented moving forward with a version of Arizona's controversial, yet popular immigration law. Numerous scientific and certified polls indicate 60-81% public support for local police enforcing immigration law as the Arizona bill does.

NC's Senate Joint Resolution (SJ 1349), filed by NC State Senator Don East (R-Surry), and would allow a version of Arizona's immigration bill (SB 1070) to be filed during the short session of the NC Legislature this year. This resolution has 12 sponsors already and room for more lawmakers to add their names.

North Carolina's legislature is currently in what is called the "short session' where only bills relevant to the state budget are allowed to be filed. It requires a joint resolution to be passed to waive that rule.

Passage of SJ 1349 would allow Senator East to file NC's version of the Arizona bill, which would be titled "AN ACT TO CREATE THE CRIME OF WILLFUL FAILURE TO CARRY OR COMPLETE AN ALIEN REGISTRATION
DOCUMENT."

"I am proud to announce that North Carolina's lawmakers are rising to support Arizona and 17 other states for the Rule of Law and immigration enforcement," said William Gheen, a North Carolina native and President of the nation's 3rd largest immigration enforcement group. "We need to send a clear message to Washington to secure our borders and a clear message to illegal aliens to go home."

ALIPAC's extensive national network of citizen activists helped pass Arizona's immigration enforcement bill SB 1070 and has since worked to help carry versions of the bill to as many other states as possible.

The current list of states following Arizona's lead on immigration enforcement include ARKANSAS, IDAHO, INDIANA, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, NEVADA, NEW JERSEY, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, UTAH.

UPDATED LIST OF STATES WITH DETAILS FOR EACH AT...
http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-196989.html

ALIPAC's national strategy is to encourage as many other states as possible to follow Arizona's lead to alleviate the political antagonism directed at Arizona from the government of Mexico, the National Council of La Raza, President Obama and several liberal city councils.

ALIPAC's North Carolina supporters are being asked to call and write their state legislators in support of Senator East's SJ 1349, which is a version of Arizona's immigration enforcement law for NC. Special efforts are requested to ask the chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, David Hoyle (D-Gaston, (919) 733-5734) to request the bill be scheduled for consideration in committee.

ALIPAC will be launching an effort to notify the public about this legislation by conducting talk radio interviews across the state!

"Any bill that would help alleviate problems caused by illegal immigration will not move forward in NC, without a ground swell of public support and enthusiasm," said William Gheen. "For many years the Democratic leadership of our state has protected, aided and abetted illegal aliens by providing them with taxpayer benefits and has stopped those of us who were trying to protect American jobs, wages, property, and lives. I hope this year we can make progress with our version of Arizona's bill."

ALIPAC is a North Carolina based national organization with over 30,000 supporters representing Americans of every race, political party, state, and walk of life. ALIPAC's President, William Gheen, is a lifelong NC native, alumni of ECU and UNC, and prior employee of and consultant to numerous members of the NC General Assembly.

ALIPAC Comments on Obama's Inadequate Troop Deployment to the Border

May 25, 2010

CONTACT: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)
(866) 703-0864 WilliamG@alipac.us
www.alipac.us

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is criticizing reports that President Obama plans to send only 1,200 National Guard troops into the border disaster areas to fight the drug and human importing cartels.

Different official estimates indicated that three to ten thousand illegal aliens cross the Southern border of the United States each night, transported in with drugs by cartels that have over 135,000 gang members in their smuggling operations according to the Pentagon. More than 1200 people have been murdered by these same cartels in Mexico this year.

"I feel like a starving man that's been handed a cracker," said William Gheen President of ALIPAC. "This low number of troops is woefully inadequate and is further proof that President Obama does not take his Constitutional responsibility to protect all states from invasion seriously."

Thousands of Americans are being killed by illegal aliens each year due to the Executive Branch's failure to secure our borders and enforce our existing immigration laws at the request of the US Chamber of Commerce and other special interest groups.

Millions of Americans have lost their jobs and businesses due to illegal labor.

American wages have been depressed by billions of dollars, billions of dollars in taxpayer resources are being stolen by illegal immigrants each year, and the total losses of property are immeasurable.

"Obama sending 1,200 National Guard troops up against the drug cartel armies is about as sick of a joke as his pledge we will be landing on Mars in 2035," said William Gheen. "I hope the new Congress in 2011 impeaches him and Joe Biden, and considers putting them both on trial for treason against the American public. Then perhaps we can get our borders secured and citizens protected during a time of war."

The US Constitution requires the President and Congress to protect all states from invasion. The American public overwhelming expects our borders to be secured, especially during a time of war. Yet, American borders remain open and news stories from across America roll in about illegal aliens raping, murdering, molesting, menacing, and threatening Americans in many ways.

While Janet Napolitano recently lied by saying the borders are secured, stories fill the blogosphere each day like the one where an illegal alien deported 9 times has been accused of raping a woman in Edmonds, Washington in broad daylight. Several of these kinds of news reports can be found at alipac.us each week.

The new consul general of Mexico in Phoenix said his office is preparing for an exodus from Arizona because of the state's stringent new immigration law, but he is appealing for Mexicans living here to remain calm because the law hasn't taken effect.

"We are sending the message. Stay calm. You don't have to take your kids right away (and leave)," Victor Manuel Treviño Escudero, 50, said Tuesday in his first interview since being appointed. "But if the school year ends, and the law is enforced, then you have to take proper action."

The consul general of Mexico in Phoenix oversees consulates in Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma and Las Vegas and serves as the Mexican government's chief diplomat in Arizona and Nevada. The consulates serve Mexicans living legally and illegally abroad, including the 700,000 to 750,000 living in Arizona.

Treviño Escudero arrives in Arizona just 2 1/2 weeks after Gov. Jan Brewer signed the nation's toughest anti-illegal-immigration law, which makes it a crime to be in the state without proper immigration papers. It also requires local and state police to get more involved in immigration matters by contacting federal immigration authorities when they encounter someone they reasonably suspect to be in the country illegally.

Supporters and opponents of the law say it could lead to a wave of immigrants leaving Arizona. They point to the more than 100,000 illegal immigrants who have left in the past two years because of the state's poor economy and earlier immigration crackdowns.

Treviño Escudero said that, as a Mexican official, he respects the sovereignty and laws of the United States, including Arizona's new immigration law.

"But that doesn't mean we have to like it," he said inside the offices of the Mexican Consulate on West Camelback Road in Phoenix.

Treviño Escudero was previously head of the consulate in Brownsville, Texas. His first official day in Phoenix was Tuesday, but he has been transitioning into the job for the past two weeks, replacing Carlos Flores Vizcarra, who was transferred to a consulate in North Carolina. Last week, Treviño Escudero hosted several high-level meetings at the consulate in Phoenix with Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan and Julian Ventura, Mexico's undersecretary for North America, to discuss the Mexican government's response to the new law.

In case the law results in a flood of Mexicans detained or arrested for possible immigration violations, the Mexican government is boosting to 11 from eight the number of people who work in the consulate's department in charge of protecting the rights of Mexicans in this country. The Mexican government also is considering filing legal briefs in support of several lawsuits that have been filed challenging the constitutionality of the law.

This week, the five Mexican consulates in Arizona - in Phoenix, Tucson, Nogales, Douglas and Yuma - will begin distributing thousands of brochures that include a toll-free number to call for legal advice and to report abuses by authorities.

The brochure advises "that in order to make the best decisions it is very important to stay calm. There is no reason to rush."

It also reminds people that the law doesn't take effect until July 29.

Immediately after the law was passed, the number of people visiting the consulate to apply for Mexican passports and Mexican birth certificates for their U.S.-born children jumped from about 20 a day to 100 a day, indicating that many people were considering leaving Arizona and returning to Mexico, Treviño Escudero.

The number has since dropped, a sign that people are waiting to see what happens with the law, he said.

Treviño Escudero said he is concerned the law fails to recognize the hard work and contributions of illegal immigrants to the state's economy.

He said the Mexican government does not condone illegal immigration.

"The idea is people should not cross illegally, but to understand that the people are here because of the markets that need them," he said. "Also, these are people with deep roots here, because many of them have U.S.-born children."

Treviño Escudero also is concerned the law will lead to police harassment and civil-rights violations of Mexicans who are living legally in Arizona, including Mexican-born residents who are naturalized U.S. citizens.

He has already met with Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and representatives from several immigrant-rights and Latino organizations.

Danny Ortega, a Phoenix lawyer, said the new consul faces major challenges.

"He's going to have the regular run-of-the-mill challenges serving an area with a very large Mexican population," Ortega said. "And he is facing the potentially large consequences of the anti-immigrant environment we live in as well."

Joe Arpaio, the freewheeling sheriff of Arizona’s Maricopa County, visited Las Vegas on Friday, defending his state’s tough new immigration law, saying that it will not, as critics have charged, lead to widespread racial profiling.

In fact, he said the law, which makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally and directs police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they’re illegal immigrants, adds little more than a small degree of cover for the aggressive immigration programs that have earned him the label of “America’s toughest sheriff.”

“We’ve been doing almost the same as that new law,” he told reporters at a roundtable discussion organized by the Nevada News Bureau. “Now, law enforcement won’t have any problems.”

The issue is relevant here because Republican Assemblyman Chad Christensen, a long-shot candidate for U.S. Senate, is drafting a ballot initiative that would replicate the Arizona law in Nevada. Immigration is also a flashpoint in the governor’s race, with former federal Judge Brian Sandoval supporting the Arizona law and Gov. Jim Gibbons opposing it.

As a result of the law, Arpaio said, officers have more flexibility to ask people about their immigration status during workplace raids.

“Everything else, we’ve been doing it anyway, and we’ve been doing a good job without much controversy, outside of the demonstrators,” he said. “Let’s give the new law a chance.”

Arpaio has taken heat for turning the sheriff’s office into a sort of freelance immigration-enforcement agency. He has he set up a hot line for the public to report immigration violations, conducts crime and immigration sweeps in heavily Latino neighborhoods and frequently raids workplaces for people in the U.S. illegally.

Many in the Latino community consider him and his policies to be racist, a charge he denied with vigor.

“I’m not a racist, like people say I am,” he said. “I have never gone on the street corner and grabbed someone because they look like they’re from another country. We don’t do that.”

Officers ask about immigration status only if people have been detained for a crime, such as speeding, he said.

Arpaio portrayed himself as a victim, lamenting activists who have pictured him alongside Adolph Hitler and smashed pinatas with his image. He said Arizona’s immigration law is widely misunderstood, even as many groups have organized a business boycott of the state.

Addressing another criticism, he said the law protects victims and witnesses who are here illegally from deportation, noting that most of his office’s crime tips come from illegal immigrants.

“I think the panic and the hype and the misinformation is causing people to feel it’s worse that it is,” he said.

Arpaio said President Barack Obama has misunderstood the new law, saying perhaps the controversy called for a “beer summit” similar to when the president met with Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley to calm tensions after a racially-tinged arrest.

“Why doesn’t he invite me to the White House so I can have some wine?” Arpaio asked.

Still, the Obama administration has had its sights on Arpaio. He’s the target of a Justice Department investigation into discriminatory conduct. A federal grand jury met this week to explore allegations of abuses of power and prosecutorial authority, according to the Arizona Republic.

On Friday, Arpaio taunted federal investigators. “They’ve been at it for a year and a half,” he said. “I feel very comfortable they are not going to find anything on racial profiling.”

He also said controversy helps his poll numbers.

Arpaio said that his aggressive immigration enforcement has contributed to a reduction in the crime rate.

“Everybody is moving out of town. That’s a good thing,” he said. “Let them move to Nevada and California. I think our program is working as a deterrent.”

He said that 18 percent of inmates who go through the county jail system are found to be undocumented. Stepped-up enforcement is needed because of escalating violence on the border, he said.

“The violence has increased,” he said. “It’s volatile and it’s getting worse. It seems like the president can’t get a hold on it. I presume he’s doing the best he can. But people feel this violence is going to cross our borders. ... We have a 2,000-mile border that doesn’t seem secure, and there’s always that chance a terrorist could come across.”

For all his detractors, Arpaio had no apologies or regrets. “I’m not really sorry about anything I did in my life,” he said, before adding, “Maybe I should have run for governor — not now — years ago. Maybe that would have given me a chance to run for president.”

After an hour of jousting, he was off to speak to a group of conservatives at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country bar in Las Vegas, where pro-immigration groups planned to protest his appearance.

“The more the merrier,” Arpaio said. “They follow me everywhere. I hope they spend some money in your casinos.”

Grassroots organization counts 12 states considering similar legislation

Posted: May 04, 2010

By Drew Zahn
2010 WorldNetDaily

A national grassroots organization that fights illegal immigration is boasting that Arizona's controversial new immigration-enforcement law is an idea that's catching on.

According to a statement from the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, as many as 12 other states have legislators who are already pushing or considering drafting legislation similar to Arizona's S.B. 1070, which requires local law enforcement officers during the course of a "lawful stop, detention or arrest" to ask for proof of citizenship or legal immigration status and turn those without it over to federal authorities for deportation.

"We are excited to see so many Americans who represent the 60 – 81 percent of U.S. citizens who support Arizona's S.B. 1070 contacting their state lawmakers to ask for similar legislation," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Our network of over 30,000 supporters started asking other states to follow Arizona weeks before Governor Brewer signed the bill. We will not stop until we have S.B. 1070 protecting American jobs, wages, health and lives in all 50 states."

To monitor the growing number of states considering similar legislation, ALIPAC utilizes a public forum, where members can update the organization with news articles and other proofs of states where the push for an Arizona-like law is making headway.

So far, 12 states – Arkansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pensylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Utah – have made the list.

In Arizona's neighboring state Utah, for example, Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, is drafting a bill that would similarly require immigrants to carry proof of status and require law enforcement officers to check for it.

"Utah is seen as state that welcomes illegal immigrants. We almost encourage it with driving privilege cards and in-state tuition for illegals," Sandstrom told The Salt Lake Tribune. "With Arizona making the first step in this direction, Utah needs to pass a similar law or we will see a huge influx of illegals. The real issue is just establishing a rule of law in our state."

Across the country in Maryland, Baltimore's WBAL-TV reports that State Delegate Patrick McDonough, R-Baltimore County, is drafting a bill for his state identical to the one passed in Arizona. He's also planning to poll his fellow legislators before the bill is filed.

"After July 6, when all the candidates have filed for the General Assembly and governor," McDonough told the station, "we're going to do a survey and we're going to find out who supports and opposes it so the voters can make a decision before the election."

A Rasmussen Reports poll released earlier today states that among voters nationwide 59 percent favor legislation like Arizona's that authorizes local police to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant and 32 percent oppose such a law.

PS: Special thanks to all of you that helped make our Tea Party Against Amnesty effort a grand success! More details released soon.

Friends of ALIPAC & Tea Party Supporters,

Please read carefully and respond fervently and efficiently.

A massive amount of new support is rushing into our operations. We have never seen this many new people sign up in our five year history. We want to give a special welcome to all of the new folks who have joined our email alert lists and taken interest of our Tea Party Against Amnesty events April 15-17.

We also want to thank all of the NumbersUSA supporters who have signed up to support this effort. We hope all of our supporters will sign up at and support via www.NumbersUSA.com

Some of our diverse ALIPAC supporters are not fans of the Tea Party movement, however, they understand that 90% of Tea Party supporters oppose illegal immigration and amnesty with us. Most understand that we need broad coalitions to stop amnesty and reverse illegal immigration.

Some, unfortunately, are buying into the massive negative propaganda assault on the Tea Party movement. All we will say about that right now is that the Tea Party folks are not violent and not racist. They are being attacked in the same way our Border Security Movement has been attacked. They are being attacked because the powers that favor elite rule in America want to stop and divert the political revolution that is growing in America today.

If anyone reading this has any doubts about the Tea Party movement, you should stop listening to CNN and MSNBC and actually go to one of these events and talk with the people there to understand the realities vs. the propaganda.

ALIPAC is proud to stand with other Americans who share our cause of border security and enforcement of our immigration laws, and we will stand up against those who want to assault free speech and freedom of assembly for Americans.

PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.

Step 1: Locate the Tea Party Against Amnesty event we are supporting because opposition to illegal immigration and amnesty will be a prominent issue. You can find the nearest event at www.AgainstAmnesty.com We will continue adding new events through the night.

Step 2: If you cannot locate a Tea Party Against Amnesty that you can reach at www.AgainstAmnesty.com , then visit these websites to locate the Tea Party nearest you if you must, but remember there is no assurance illegal immigration will be opposed at the events not on our maps. More events found at...

http://taxdayteaparty.com/directory/
http://www.teapartypatriots.org/Today.aspx?date=4/15/2010
http://teapartypatriots.ning.com/

Step 3: Make sure you are signed up as a supporter and use the 'Tell A Friend About Us' feature on the right of the homepage to tell all of your contacts to visit www.AgainstAmnesty.com to sign up and participate. You can also make posts on other websites, forward emails, and use Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter to help us spread the word. Please do all you can to get the numbers as high as you can at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

Step 4: Call friends and neighbors and take them with you, if you can. Many of the folks attending Tea Party events are invited and brought by word of mouth and personal invitations.

Step 5: Let the media and nation see many of our signs at events all across America in the next few days. Make signs that express your opposition to illegal immigration and amnesty in racially inclusive and non-offensive ways. Please do not use racially-charged language or Mexican imagery. Tea Party organizers love people to bring lots of big good signs, so put your message on a sign and hold it high!

Here are some sign suggestions, we even have some you can print out online.

"Stop and Reverse Illegal Immigration"
"No Graham, No Schumer, No McCain, No Amnesty!"
"Hayworth for Senate!"
"Enforcement Instead of Amnesty"
"No Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty"

Here are some more sign suggestions that you can print up online. Make your own sign, or ask a friend to make one, or call up a local printer and copy shop and order what you want.

More Sign Suggestions

Step 6: Consider printing out fliers from ALIPAC and NumbersUSA to hand out to others at Tea Party events. These are easy to print at home and can be copied inexpensively in large numbers. Here are the three fliers we want distributed as much as possible at Tea Party events across America on April 15-17

ALIPAC's Tax Day Tea Party Handout

NumbersUSA Taxpayer and Illegal Immigration Flier
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/files/Immigration_Burdens_Taxpayers.pdf

Please speak to others at the events, hand them fliers, and encourage them to stand up against illegal immigration and amnesty by joining ALIPAC and NumbersUSA. Tell them to visit us online and sign up!

Step 7: Many of the Tea Party organizers are looking for speakers and tables. If you would like to speak out against illegal immigration and amnesty in a racially inclusive way or if you would like to set up a table for ALIPAC and get people to sign up with their names and e-mails at your table, please contact event organizers to offer to do that via www.AgainstAmnesty.com. You can also contact WilliamG@alipac.us for suggestions and assistance, if you want to speak out or run a table for us.

We want to thank each of you for making the effort to make our Tea Party Against Amnesty effort a success.

Remember that ALIPAC's President, William Gheen, will be speaking in Houston, TX (April 15), Murfreesboro, TN (April 16), and Greenville, SC (April 17). Our movement's friends and allies like Congressman Tom Tancredo, Jerome Corsi, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, J.D. Hayworth, and NumbersUSA all will be speaking at different locations during these events.

It's time to take to the streets and speak out loudly America!

PS: Many folks have asked why we are not listing or supporting the Tea Party march in Washington D.C. on April 15. We are not supporting that event because many of the organizers of the D.C. event support Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty and Open Borders, and they do not want opposition to illegal immigration to be a prominent issue at their D.C. march. Since ALIPAC opposes illegal immigration, Comprehensive Amnesty, and open borders, we are focusing our efforts on the local Tea Party events.

Americans, signs, tables, groups, leaders, and guest speakers who are racially inclusive and opposed to illegal immigration and Obama's push for Amnesty for illegal immigrants will be prominent features at many Tea Party Against Amnesty protests April 15-17.

"We are encouraging Americans coast to coast to stand up and speak out against Obama's push for Amnesty for illegal aliens and the President's refusal to send the National Guard to the border to defend American jobs, wages, property, health and lives," said William Gheen President of ALIPAC.

Over 7,000 people have signed up to show their support and over 35 event organizers have asked to be listed at www.AgainstAmnesty.com Events listed on the website have confirmed that speakers, signs, and tables that oppose illegal immigration and Amnesty will be present at their events. While new events and supporters are added each day, more of the hundreds of Tea Party events that are not listed are expected to have Americans protesting illegal immigration as well.

ALIPAC and a coalition of over 25 Border Security groups helped the success of the Tea Party movement by joining a coalition to support events nationally in April and July of 2009. The first round of Tea Party Against Amnesty events held in over 50 cities and towns on November 14, 2009 succeeded in pushing Congressman Guitierezz's plans to file his Amnesty bill back into December of last year thus destroying almost any chance of HR 4321 passing.

Congressman Tom Tancredo and William Gheen will be guest speakers at numerous Tea Party events along with other well known Amnesty opponents.

Tancredo will be a guest speaker at the Tea Party in Tempe, Arizona to be held on Thursday, April 15, 4:30-8:30pm in the Tempe Diablo Baseball Stadium. He will then fly to South Carolina, where he will be speaker at another large Tea Party in Greenville, SC on Saturday April 17, 1-5pm. The South Carolina event will be behind the Bi Lo Center on 600 East North Street.

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is expected to speak at the Tea Party held April 15, 1045 E Juniper Rd. at Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC's President, William Gheen will address a crowd expected to exceed 10,000 in Houston, Texas at the Sam Houston Race Track on April 15, 5-8PM. He will then fly to Murfreesboro, TN to address thousands gathered for a Tea Party on Friday, April 16, 5-7pm at 109 N. Maple Street on Murfreesboro's historic downtown Square. Then William will fly to Greenville, South Carolina to join Congressman Tom Tancredo to speak at the Bi Lo Center 1-5PM on April 17.

William Gheen will be video blogging during his travels and conducting talk radio show interviews every step of the way.

"My goal is to awaken, rally, and organize Americans of every race, party, and walk of life who represent the majority of our citizens who oppose illegal immigration and this kind of Amnesty legislation touted by Republicans and Democrats who have betrayed the American public," said William Gheen. "There's a huge political revolution brewing in America today, as our abused citizenry organizes to restore America to We The People."

Many analysts and pundits agree that the Tea Party movement is yet another manifestation of a rising political revolution that seeks to change Washington, DC and remove corrupt incumbent Democrats and Republicans. GOP operatives have begun spending millions of dollars attempting to take control of the Tea Party movement to focus it on finite and ineffectual generalities such as taxation, smaller government, and "free markets".

"Illegal aliens and their supporters are marching across America making demands of us. Now it is time for Americans to demand that our existing border and immigration laws are enforced, while we still have a country," said William Gheen. "Over 90% of the Tea Party folks, and over 80% of all Americans want our borders secured and our immigration laws enforced now!"

Friends of ALIPAC,

We have breaking news out of Mexico and Texas. A U.S. consulate has been bombed in Mexico! Illegal alien and drug-importing assassins are threatening U.S. lawmakers and their families in Texas, while the White House continues to refuse to deploy National Guard troops to the border.

In fact, the Obama administration continues to focus Homeland Security on the hopes of Amnesty legislation passing for millions of illegal aliens, instead of protecting American property, health, security, wages, jobs, and lives from terrorists and illegal immigration.


U.S. Sen. Harry Reid refused to meet with American taxpayers recently, but found the time this weekend to promise his army of illegal aliens in Las Vegas that Comprehensive Immigration Reform AMNESTY will be pushed and passed starting next week! He said they would pass the Amnesty legislation "just like the health care bill".

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) made the same promise to a large mob of illegal aliens and their supporters as well, while the illegals plan more "mega marches" against our nation on May 1!

TAKE ACTION NOW AND SPREAD THE WORD.

Get your local Tea Party and your friends signed up fast at www.AgainstAmnesty.com Get your schedules cleared, travel plans made, handouts and signs read for our Tea Party Against Amnesty events April 15-17.

The illegals and their backers are pushing hard, let's get our counter protest efforts rolling strong!

http://www.alipac.us/ftopicp-1040809.html#1040809

Friends of ALIPAC,

Over 90% of the Tea Party attendees are with us on immigration enforcement and we have a mission to speak out against illegal immigration and against Obama's Comprehensive Amnesty push in Washington during Tea Party events April 15-17.

We have very exciting news to release first of next week about this project, but right now we need your help.

We hope that each of you will take immediate action on these three urgent items below.

ITEM 1

Please arrange your schedule to attend the Tea Party Against Amnesty event closest to you on April 15-17. Many of you do not have an event close by yet so please check in often, as new events are added each day. Also, see ITEM 3 for ways you can help increase the number of events near you. You will receive information about signs, tables and guest speakers soon. New events added daily at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

ITEM 2

Please use the resources we provide to make sure everyone you can contact has been invited and encouraged to sign up at www.AgainstAmnesty.com You can use the "Tell A Friend About Us" feature on the right side of the website, or you can forward this very e-mail to your contacts. If you are a Facebook or Twitter user, you can invite your friends using those as well. IT IS UP TO YOU TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO SIGN UP AT www.AgainstAmnesty.com We have 7,000 people so far and we need those numbers climbing each day between now and April 17

ITEM 3

This is a very important request that we truly need many of you to respond to.

We need your help getting more events listed on our maps at www.AgainstAmnesty.com Right now, there are over 800 Tea Party events going on next week but only 32 are on our maps at this time.

This is what we need you to do...

Step 3-A Please go to one of the following websites or all of these websites to look for existing Tea Party events near you or in your state planned for April 15-17, 2010

Step 3-B Please contact the event organizers in your state to say "I am one of over 7,000 people looking to attend a Tea Party event on April 15-17, but I'm looking for events that welcome and encourage racially inclusive Americans, signs, tables, groups, leaders, and guest speakers that oppose illegal immigration and Obama's Comprehensive Amnesty legislation in DC.'"


Step 3-C If the organizers you locate and speak with by e-mail and phone agree to 'welcome and encourage' on our issue then we simply need them to e-mail the following info to

Please consider taking immediate action on items 1, 2, and 3 to get the ball rolling and be ready for our next activism alert.

Please keep in mind that very powerful political forces on the left and right are at work trying to divide and confuse the American public.

The corrupt left is trying to defame the Tea Party attendees in the exact same way they have always attacked our immigration enforcement movement. They are making false claims that our fellow Americans are evil, racist, and violent.

The corrupt right is trying to take over the Tea Party movement and steer the movement away from secure borders and immigration enforcement issues and into supporting "Freedom" for Global corporations that will import all the cheap illegal labor they want. These people on the right are one step away from trying to get the Tea Party leaders supporting NAFTA and CAFTA concepts.

We will not concede any political battlefield to the enemies of the American public on either the right or the left upper echelons!

ALIPAC and 25 immigration enforcement groups helped build the Tea Party movement (in 2009) into the respected political force it is today.

Let's pull Americans together of every race, political party, and walk of life to stand together against the corruption in Washington that is destroying our nation.

Friends of ALIPAC,

Only six days remain for us to reach our minimum safe fund raising goal of $30,000. While ALIPAC has never failed to reach our goals, the last few funds drives have been like pulling teeth.

If you want to see Americans for Legal Immigration PAC continue our mission as one of the largest national organizations in America fighting against illegal immigration and against Amnesty on your behalf, then please get your donation on the way now!

Visit our Secure Online Donations Page at this link...

Due to many factors, including the bad economy and shifting interests, over 40 smaller groups and organizations in our coalition have folded in the the last year.

Today, we say farewell to ALIPAC's ally known as the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps headed up by Chris Simcox and Carmen Mercer. Citing a lack of adequate funding, the group has sent out a national release announcing their permanent closure.

This leaves ALIPAC as the only major national group formed since 2004 to still be in operation.

We need a very strong response to THIS EMAIL request to make sure ALIPAC does not join the growing organizational casualty list.

Please click on this link to proceed to our secure online donations page....
http://www.alipac.us/content-9.html

We only have SIX DAYS LEFT to raise almost $11,000. Should we fail to reach our minimum operations budget, we will use your donations to keep the main site operational as long as possible during a phased out shutdown.

We must remind you all that ALIPAC is the largest archive of information in existence about illegal immigration, and we have played a key role in the defeat of Amnesty legislation in 2006 and 2007.

An ALIPAC shutdown would deprive the American public of over half of the information about illegal immigration that is currently on the Internet.

An ALIPAC shutdown would send you up against the new push for Amnesty in Washington, without one of your key players that defeated them in 2006 and 2007.

The current average contribution per ALIPAC supporter receiving this e-mail is only 0.70 per person for 2010. That level must exceed $1 per person withing six days to keep ALIPAC in the fight.

CORNYN BACKS AWAY FROM OBAMA's AMNESTY

As the latest display of proof of your activism power and ALIPAC's strategies, we are pleased to announce that Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is backtracking on his flirtations with Amnesty supporters.

We gathered up the multiple examples proving that Cornyn was in negotiations to support Amnesty.

We alerted you and gave you the phone numbers and message suggestions you needed.

You called by the thousands.

Now Cornyn has publicly turned about face, and the illegal aliens supporters are crying all over the web about how ALIPAC helped pressure him away from their Amnesty negotiations.

Here, you can read about your work in action in this article...

Please remember that our recent intense battles with John McCain and the Pro-Amnesty protesters in Washington have added increased costs to our operations that are not even calculated in our minimum budget requests.

Please get your support on the way today

Americans for Legal Immigration Response to DC March

March 21, 2010

CONTACT: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)
(866) 703-0864 www.alipac.us

ALIPAC is issuing the following responses to today's 'March For America' which is attempting to place over 100,000 illegal immigrants and their supporters on the Washington Mall to demand Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty from DC Lawmakers.

"We are dubbing this Amnesty march the March Against America.", said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC.

"A large majority of Americans want comprehensive immigration enforcement, instead of comprehensive AMNESTY" -- William Gheen.

"People should consider calling Janet Napolitano's Homeland Security immigration hotline at (866) 347-2423 to ask why Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is giving so many illegal aliens a free pass to protest in Washington today?" -- William Gheen.

"These marchers are advocating the overthrow of American laws, sovereignty, and the self-governance of American citizens who want our immigration laws adequately enforced, to be a significant deterrent to illegal immigration." -- William Gheen.

"The fact that so many illegal aliens can gather upon our American capitol, with massive corporate sponsorship, and without any fear that President Obama and Napolitano will enforce our existing immigration laws and it shows that our immigration system has been paralyzed by special interests." -- William Gheen.

"Americans need to quickly organize to oppose this new push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty. We want Americans to sign up to support our Tea Party Against Amnesty events across America, to be held April 15-17. People can sign up to show their support and take action to stop AMNESTY at www.AgainstAmnesty.com" -- William Gheen.

We support NumbersUSA's "Stop Amnesty In Four Days" efforts found at www.NumbersUSA.com and encourage our supporters to watch the LIVE broadcast from Roy Beck today starting at 2pm.

"On Monday, we need to lead and organize the public backlash. Most Americans will be very angry and dismayed, when they learn so many illegal aliens and their supporters have gathered in Washington to overthrow our existing immigration laws. We want all of our national supporters on the phones to Congress on Monday!" -- William Gheen.

"Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty will lead to tens of millions of new illegal immigrants entering the country in the next decade due to America's lack of immigration enforcement credibility." -- William Gheen.

For more information or to join the effort to defeat AMNESTY in 2010 please visit and sign up at www.AgainstAmnesty.com and www.ALIPAC.us

As Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty supporters plan to descend on Washington on March 21, 2010 with a promised 100,000 illegal aliens and their supporters, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC prepares to harness the resulting public backlash into civic action designed to "Stop Amnesty in 2010".

"May 1, 2006 was our biggest membership growth day ever was when the illegals and their supporters took to the streets by the millions. We are looking forward to a similar public backlash this year," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "It proves that America's immigration enforcement levels are not adequate, when so many illegal aliens can be organized by billion dollar interest groups to go and flagrantly march on our lawmakers in DC."

ALIPAC's 30,000 national supporters are being asked to support NumbersUSA's lobbying countermeasure plans this weekend, titled "S.T.O.P. Amnesty in 4 days". Citizen activists will schedule district office visits with lawmakers and flood DC offices with calls, e-mails, and faxes opposing Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty. More information about this effort can be found at www.NumbersUSA.org

ALIPAC is also rapidly organizing a counter protest to the March 21 Amnesty march on Washington, called March For America, by calling on Tea Party event organizers who welcome American citizens, signs, tables and organizations, and guest speakers who oppose Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty at their April 15 events, to sign up at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

"About 80% of Americans support enforcement, instead of this Comprehensive Amnesty they are pushing for in DC," said William Gheen. "This March 21 event is going to increase opposition the Health Care legislation by showing Americans that there is a plan to give illegal immigrants Amnesty by assuring they are covered in the health care bill."

A March 11 NBC / Wall Street Journal poll found 57% of Americans oppose the current health care bill in Washington. While these are strong numbers, opposition to taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens ranges in the 63 to 83% opposition range.

Congressman Luis Gutierrez's Comprehensive Amnesty demand march on Washington will increase public opposition to health care reform legislation, if Tea Party groups harness the backlash as well.

ALIPAC played a central strategic and activism role in defeating Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty and Dream Act Amnesty attempts in 2006 and 2007.

"We have beaten them before and we will defeat them again," said William Gheen. "We hope that more Americans fighting Washington on other issues will take notice of our past expertise in stopping out of touch lawmakers from making nation destroying mistakes."

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC will be working around the clock this coming weekend by preparing for the march, conducting interviews with the media, and organizing countermeasures. For more information please visit www.alipac.us

What All The Screaming Really Means

March 13, 2010

by William Gheen
President of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC
www.alipac.us

Late last night as I shut down my computer, I paused to reflect about the large volume of vitriol, attacks, distortions, screaming and yelling that I had to deal with this past week and it made me smile.

I was smiling, because I know what it means. Now, I want you to know so you can smile too.

You see, in the last week alone, our organization ALIPAC has been attacked by 6 different radical left blogs, 2 independent newspapers, one multi-million dollar George Soros funded group, John McCain's U.S. Senate campaign, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Our allies over at NumbersUSA are under bitter attack as well with similar ludicrous claims emanating from a host of well-financed pro-illegal immigration groups and blogs.

The Open Borders Lobby (OBL) is desperately throwing everything they can at ALIPAC and NumbersUSA including the kitchen sink. Since they have very little real political ammunition, they are getting creative.

Unfortunately for America, their creativity is expressed using the dark arts of deception and black propaganda, and it does make me shake my head to see their poisonous filth injected into what should be civil discourse and proper political debate in America. Such a shame that innocent Americans and members of the media who care about the truth might encounter these blatant lies that are being broadcasted.

While the tune and tempo changes, the song remains the same. All of the fake allegations beat the same old dead horse and worn out race card. They exclude the context and the contrary facts to float bits of reality twisted to deceive the public and claim that ALIPAC and NumbersUSA are the new KKK and Nazi Party.

And of interesting note is that these radical leftist groups like Wonk Room and some Indy Media (George Soros) operations, are offering advice to Republicans on how to deal with immigration issues and groups like ALIPAC. The amazing thing is that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Tea Party leader Dick Armey of Freedomworks appear to be accepting that advice and working in conjunction with the radical left attack blogs and papers!

I hope it says a lot to each of you that John McCain and Dick Armey are on the same page and political talking points as George Soros, Indy Media, Wonk Room, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the ADL and other radical leftist groups. It is common sense that you should never accept or follow advice from one's enemies. The fact that McCain and Armey are accepting advice from the radical left shows they are not truly opponents. These folks are all on the same team!

The radical left has been very happy with Armey in the last few weeks. Armey of Freedomworks has recently launched unprovoked attacks on both retired Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and U.S Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth! Tancredo and Hayworth both oppose illegal immigration or any Amnesty for illegals. Armey and McCain support Amnesty.

In an interview with Charlie Rose, Armey launched an unprovoked attack on fellow conservative Tom Tancredo. He said "I tell you, I was for example, not really happy to see Tom Tancredo calling himself a tea party guy...He is harsh and uncharitable and mean-spirited attitude on the immigration issue."

Using the latest collection of polling data at ALIPAC, it appears that Dick Armey feels the vast majority of Americans are "uncharitable and mean-spirited" for opposing the Amnesty Armey supports. That is why Armey is trying to exclude any mention of opposing Obama's current Amnesty legislation during the Tea Party events on April 15.

That is why ALIPAC is working to include opposition to illegal immigration and amnesty in the April 15 events via www.againstamnesty.com

Dick Armey also launched an unprovoked attack on J.D. Hayworth. Hayworth is running against pro-Amnesty Sen. John McCain and Hayworth has the endorsement of both ALIPAC and Tax Day Tea Party (Armey's largest rival group in the Tea Party movement).

In a phone interview with the The Arizona Republic newspaper on Feb. 3 2010, this is what Dick Armey said about J.D. Hayworth. "It's hard for us to believe that J.D. Hayworth could mount a credible challenge to John McCain. Obviously, we'll watch the race. But J.D. had a fairly short, undistinguished congressional career with virtually no initiative on his part..."

Huh? Wait a minute! Aren't these guys supposed to all be Republicans and fellow Conservatives?

As a veteran campaign consultant who left my career behind to run ALIPAC when I discovered the severity of America's illegal immigration problem, I can tell you a known rule is that the candidate or group that is losing goes negative on a candidate or group that is winning.

Using the rules most campaigns live or die by, John McCain's weekly negative attacks on J.D. Hayworth are the kind of behavior one would expect from the candidate who is losing the race!

John McCain has a young man named Brian Rogers serving as his campaign researcher and press director who is launching most of the negative attacks on McCain's behalf. Rogers worked on McCain's failed Presidential campaign which proved when Republicans support Amnesty for illegals they lose to weak candidates like Obama.

The Huffington Post reported on 5/11/09 that after McCain's last failed campaign Brian Rogers became "The research director for Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection." Talk about bipartisanship! John McCain just rehired Al Gore's climate change research director.

Does that explain all of the erroneous claims and wild fiction coming out of John McCain's campaign? Perhaps after Hayworth defeats McCain, Brian Rogers can find a job working for Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi in their new careers after the voters throw them out, too!

Rogers' current "research methods" seem to include perusing rabid left wing websites and using his mouse to copy and paste text that he then quickly disseminates via national press release on behalf of John McCain. In his most recent attacks on Hayworth and ALIPAC, this has resulted in his distributing completely false and unverified information and associating the John McCain campaign with some pro-illegal immigration extremists like Dee Dee Blase. Way to go Brian! How do we send you a check and a thank you note?

The pro-Amnesty groups are also targeting Hayworth and ALIPAC because we have promoted the fact that Hayworth's run is holding back Obama's push for Amnesty legislation in the U.S. Senate. McCain is hiding behind the scenes, afraid to sign the bill as he had promised Obama and Sen. Schumer (D-NY).

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, McCain's agent and proxy, is the lone GOP Senator willing to sign the bill that would grant citizenship and voting rights to millions of illegal aliens, while raising legal immigration levels beyond their current historic levels.

J.D. Hayworth is the man stopping Amnesty in its tracks in 2010 and that is why ALIPAC is working to make the maximum donation to his campaign and asking others to give Hayworth all they can! http://www.jdforsenate.com/

And that brings us to the point of this article.

It is my great pleasure to inform you all that the reason John McCain, Dick Armey, George Soros's organizations and media publications, and a host of radical leftist bloggers are all going bonkers right now is because they are very afraid, desperate, and they sense that they are losing this battle!

In my extensive past political experiences, I have specialized in the art of bringing down corrupt entrenched political status quos.

While I have won many battles, I've lost my fair share as well.

Some of the wisdom passed down to me by my mentors, combined with my personal experiences tells me that... "If they are not screaming, we are not winning!"

If all was quiet right now and our opponents were truly confident, reserved, and calculative then we would be in bad shape. It would mean that our chances of overthrowing them were very low.

The behavior we are seeing with all the screaming, shouting and wild accusations is symptomatic of an established and entrenched political status quo on the verge of collapse or defeat!

Things are likely to get wilder and louder as we march to victory in November of 2010. Please remember my words to you that they will go down kicking screaming and crying, or they won't go down at all.

Before this is all over, you will probably see someone claim that William Gheen of ALIPAC, Roy Beck of NumbersUSA, and Chris Simcox of the Minutemen sacrifice goats and burn crosses at fund raisers for J.D. Hayworth, Tom Tancredo, and Sen. Jim Demint!

You will know that what they say about us says much more about themselves.

When you hear the screaming and wild accusations, just smile and know that it means victory is within our grasp and our enemies are attacking those they fear the most.

In November 2008, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." The Obama White House has followed this Rahmism to the tee.

Last year, the Obama Administration utilized our economic crisis to nationalize the largest entities they could get their hands on. From General Motors to Chrysler to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to AIG and three large investment banks, at times President Obama's domestic agenda appeared no different than Hugo Chavez's.

The White House pushed hard last spring for a cap and tax plan that would force American companies to comply with costly new energy regulations, thus giving companies in China, India and foreign countries without these rules a competitive advantage. Thankfully the American people spoke out and effectively killed this bill.

In town hall meetings and tea parties across the country, we've seen the American people have a similar reaction to the Obama Administration's attempt to pass a national health care bill. Created in the backrooms of Washington and flavored to please special interest groups and lobbyists, this health care bill became a toxic stew that the American people have rejected by the bowlful, the ladleful and the spoonful.

And now there are signs that the White House is moving on to a new target: comprehensive immigration reform. President Obama is meeting with Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to work on a bill that would grant amnesty to the 12-20 million illegal aliens currently in the United States.

The American people flatly reject any form of amnesty. In 2006 and 2007, they jammed Capitol Hill phone lines with calls in opposition to a Senate bill that would have granted amnesty to illegal aliens. The national opinion on illegal immigration has not changed.

According to a recent Rasmussen national survey, 67% of U.S. voters say that illegal immigrants are a significant strain on the U.S. budget. Not only do they believe illegal aliens are a strain on our national budget, they also believe that the government welcomes this strain. Sixty-six percent of U.S. voters believe the availability of government money and services draw illegal immigrants and 56% say the policies and practices of the federal government encourage people to enter the United States illegally.

A recent example of this is the recent case of an illegal alien in Schuyler, Nebraska. In February, an illegal alien tried to turn herself in at the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office in nearby Omaha because she thought it would get her on the path to U.S. citizenship. She believed this was an acceptable road to citizenship because President Obama and liberals in Congress continue to promote and support amnesty in their public comments.

I agree with the Obama Administration that our current economic crisis warrants action on immigration policy. However, rather than grant amnesty, we need to crack down on illegal immigration to provide opportunities to American workers looking for jobs. There are 15.3 million unemployed American citizens while the Pew Hispanic Center reports that eight million illegal aliens hold American jobs.

I have introduced a bill called New IDEA (Illegal Deduction Elimination Act) that will immediately reduce America's unemployment and result in the hiring of millions of unemployed Americans. New IDEA will crack down on employers and illegal workers and level the playing field for law-abiding American employers and employees.

New IDEA will make E-Verify permanent and authorize its use on all current and prospective employees. E-Verify is an online government system that enables employers to determine whether an employee is eligible to work in the U.S. E-Verify is currently a voluntary program that by law can only be used on new hires.

Under New IDEA, employers that use E-Verify will have "safe harbor." By using E-Verify to check the legal status of new hires, employers will not be punished if they mistakenly hire an illegal alien. Employers who fail to check their employees via E-Verify or ignore proof of an employee's illegal status will be subject to wage and benefit taxation, including interest and penalty on past taxes.

We cannot allow the Obama Administration to use our current economic crisis to dramatically reshape America to fit its liberal political agenda. The economic crisis does present opportunities for reform, but we need common-sense solutions that protect America's sovereignty and put Americans back to work.

Immigration law needs to be designed to enhance the economic, social and cultural well-being of the Unites States. We must reject amnesty, pass New IDEA, get Americans back to work and dramatically reduce the strain of illegal immigration on our economy.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is announcing protests across America to be conducted on April 15, 2010 in conjunction with existing Tea Party events in protest of the current push for Amnesty legislation in Washington and as a counter measure to the 'March For America' marches held nationally on March 21 by bill sponsor Luis Gutierrez.

"Despite the fake polls, bought and paid for by the Open Borders Lobby groups, the truth remains that 80% of Americans oppose Amnesty for illegal aliens and turning millions of illegals into voters would have a catastrophic effect on America," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "We will be sending tens of thousands of people out to support Tea Party events on April 15 to properly represent public opposition to illegal immigration and Amnesty for illegals."

ALIPAC helped build the initial success of Tea Party events in April and July 2009 by leading a coalition of over 20 immigration enforcement groups behind the effort.

On November 14, 2009, ALIPAC directed "Tea Parties Against Amnesty" which rapidly organized protests in over 50 American cities and towns successfully pushing Congressman Luis Gutierrez back from his original dates to file his Amnesty bill.

"This time we have let Gutierrez make his move first," said William Gheen. "We are moving into position to channel the massive public backlash against Gutierrez's 'Marches for America', which are designed to pass Amnesty for illegal aliens. Our counter protests will be in the Tea Party events on April 15."

ALIPAC is revamping and re releasing the website
www.AgainstAmnesty.com, which is designed to coordinate the April 15 events. The website was used for the first round of Tea Party Against Amnesty events in 2009.

Tea Party movement supporters who oppose illegal immigration and amnesty for illegals are being encouraged to sign up and show their support.

Any Tea Party event on April 15 that welcomes Americans who oppose illegal immigration and the current Amnesty legislation push in Washington will be listed on the maps. Tea Party supporters are encouraged to arrange candidates, members of congress, and group leaders to speak out at the April 15 events, set up tables, bring signs, and distribute literature opposing illegal immigration and the Amnesty bills.

Rapid Response Tea Parties Against Amnesty Bring Unity

November 17, 2009

by William Gheen
President, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC ALIPAC

Our Tea Parties Against Amnesty outmatched the opposition with less funds and media support, we have the momentum, and opposition attempts to thwart our events have backfired on them!

After President Obama's key ally Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) announced he would file Amnesty legislation this year to turn millions of illegal aliens in America into voters, immigration enforcement groups such as ALIPAC and NumbersUSA, and Rightmarch sprang into action.

While our strategies and efforts played a key role in defeating Amnesty legislation in 2006 and 2007, and we have dominated the pro-illegal immigration factions in almost every state legislation battle in 2008 and 2009, we know that it will take something truly historic for the American public to triumph over Amnesty this time.

So we took a gamble and called for Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration to form quickly across the nation. With less than 30 days to prepare, the results were dramatic and encouraging.

In less than 30 days, we had protests and events arranged in more than 50 towns and cities across America!

With less than a month to respond and only a few thousand dollars to spend, we were able to match or exceed Congressman Luis Guitierrez's multi-million dollar Amnesty legislation launch party that took place in only 20 cities on October 13 of this year after several months of planning time! We exceeded his number of events and exceeded the number of Americans participating as well!
We outmatched Guitierez and his faction on the ground with a complete absence of national media coverage on our side. His events were promoted heavily by Spanish language national news sources like Telemundo and Univision backed by hundreds of spanish language radio stations.

We were outspent over 100 to 1, had less time, had less media support in advance and we still exceeded their efforts and that is because 80% of America's legal citizens side with us!

Since our November 14 events were just warm-ups for larger operations in the spring, we feel our current momentum and recent successes will manifest as much larger operations that will dwarf our opposition.

Some events were small with only 10-20 people,while others had hundreds of attendees. Somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people turned out for these rapid response Tea Parties, despite the fact that there was no national press coverage and very limited local coverage of the events beforehand!

We were able to organize more than 50 cities and towns with thousands of people through Internet communications, social media sources like Facebook and Twitter, and the help of existing Immigration Enforcement, Tea Party, and 9/12 groups, leaders, and activists!

Our initial efforts are a great prelude to much larger operations in the spring of 2010, when this push for unpopular Amnesty legislation will be the top issue in America. We believe we can have much larger crowds and over 100 cities organized by then.

Our events held near traffic were warmly greeted with honking horns and thumbs up from the vast majority of motorists responding. Sure, the illegal alien supporters scowled and engaged in lewd gestures but it was clear they only represent a very small fraction of the public who surrounds us.

We had talk radio show hosts, live bands, organization leaders and many candidates for public office, including candidates for Congress speaking at almost half of our events.

While we have a lot of pro-amnesty opposition to us in the 'old guard' media who refuses to tell people about such events before they happen, our press coverage after these events is excellent.

Our message got out loud and clear on FOX News on Sunday, Nov. 15, and as you can see by the collection of articles on our homepage at alipac.us, our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration generated a lot of press across America. We encourage all of you to read these articles at ALIPAC to see how we bypassed the biased news wire services such as the Associated Press and Reuters and delivered our message to millions of Americans despite their information blockades.

We spoke out and we were heard, and the results are that a sustained wave of new supporters are coming in to ALIPAC as people rush to sign up for our e-mail alerts, and our Facebook and Twitter accounts, which are now the strongest social media accounts on either side of the immigration debate!

Getting people to rapidly join the ALIPAC and NumbersUSA e-mail alerts systems remains one of our top priorities as these two groups will be spearheading the effort to stop Amnesty legislation in Washington, D.C. in 2009 and 2010. Please make sure you are on those lists and that everyone you know is as well. We need your support for the fight against Amnesty that is upon us.

Another part of our mission has been to push Luis Gutierrez and Obama back on their time line. Obama and the Senate are already retreating to 2010, but Gutierrez had threatened to file Amnesty legislation before the end of October. Thanks to your efforts, we have pushed him into retreat and his latest threat is to file the Amnesty bill before the end of November.

Gutierrez is having a national conference call with his activists base tomorrow, which is Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009. We will know soon if our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration are victorious in pushing him back to file his bill in 2010 as we have hoped!

We are trying to push the Gutierrez / Obama Amnesty legislation timeline back into 2010, because we know we will have a better chance of defeating this legislation for a fourth time in 2010 because it is an election year.

At most of the 50+ Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration across America, we had someone read a long list of polls and surveys that show exactly where America stands on this issue. This series of polls discredit the handful of designer polls that lie to lawmakers and the public claiming that a majority of Americans favor a path to citizenship for illegals. Our numerous polls show clearly that 80% oppose any path to citizenship, taxpayer benefits, or special legislation to benefit illegal aliens.


POLLS AND SURVEY LIST
http://www.alipac.us/polls_surveys_opinions.html

Incumbent members of Congress will become very hesitant to proceed with the Gutierrez / Obama Amnesty legislation especially after watching New Jersey Governor Corzine go down in flames after pushing similar legislation during his election year!

Our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration are fresh on the minds of the public and part of our strategy is to gather up the resulting backlash against this new push for Amnesty.

President Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, instead of looking for more traitors in the U.S. government like the Fort Hood infiltrator, are responding to us already and released pro-Amnesty statements less than 48 hours prior to our Tea Parties Against Amnesty.

With almost 80% of Americans on our side against this legislation, we are in a perfect position to unify Americans. Our Unity will go beyond unifying immigration enforcement groups, Tea Party groups, and 9/12 groups. Our plans are to unify Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Our plans are to unify blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans. We will unify as the AMERICANS! And those pushing this nationally destructive, ridiculous Amnesty legislation are TRAITORS against We The People of the United States!

Of course these traitors will try to divide us any way they can. They will screech false charges of racism; they will try to pit Republican against Democrat and Democrat against Republican. They will attack with their fleet of biased bloggers and reporters, but we can turn those attacks against them with ease.

The more these pro-Amnesty faction members attack us and attempt to falsely malign us, the stronger we become due to the combination of how strongly the public aligns with our side.

While more than 95% of our Tea Parties proceeded without serious problems, there were flash points in Phoenix, St. Paul, and Ft. Lauderdale.

Not only did we outnumber Luis Gutierrez's protests in D.C., but the fervent calls among illegal alien supporting groups yielded less than 200 counter protesters up against our 3-5,000 Tea Party attendees.

In Phoenix, some Neo Nazis tried to show up despite the fact we told them they were unwelcome at our events and were pushed back by our supporters, but not before one of them shoved a veteran and senior citizen to the ground. We have made it clear that radical racist groups like the National Council of La Raza, MS-13, the KKK, Stormfront, Neo Nazis, MALDEF, and LULAC are no to be tolerated at our events and we made that clear in Phoenix.

We are looking into this incident to determine if these caricatured racist clowns with a rebel flag and picture of Hitler on a towel were actually racists dumb enough to assist the pro-Amnesty crowd or if they saboteurs on the payroll of the pro-Amnesty George Soros groups.

In St. Paul, anarchists got in the middle of our Tea Party on the state capital steps and harassed people. One was even able to lie his way to the podium, where he lambasted Americans of European decent and claimed they were illegals, responsible for mass violence and genocide, and should be deported.

The worst incident took place in Fort Lauderdale where communist supporters of the Obama / Gutierrez Amnesty bill that belong to a group called ANSWER FL (put in acronym for ANSWER) rallied a small group with an email that pronounced "we are calling on all people to come out tomorrow, to organize a militant confrontation with the so-called "tea baggers." Beating back these forces will require us to organize together, take the streets, fight the racists wherever they show their faces and drive them out of every community.""

The pro-Amnesty ANSWER-FL group violently attacked two Tea Party protesters that were simply trying to document their signs which bore the image of notorious communist and murderer Che Guiverra.

The video of this incident has been released by ALIPAC and is going viral on the Internet today. Pro-Amnesty supporters are continuing their assault on civil rights by making death threats and derogatory comments towards Americans of European descent beneath the video.

VIDEO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekW3HmlnYS4

These aggressive attempts to violate the civil rights of Americans are backfiring on the pro-Amnesty crowd today. In fact, these antics may have just blown any chance they had of passing Amnesty in 2009 or 2010. While 80% of Americans reject Amnesty, a higher percentage reject communists, fascists, and those that use lies, aggression, and violence to try and impose their political will over others.

The fact that so few tried to oppose us during these events and the fact we are only being challenged by radicals on both ends of the spectrum speaks to the fact that our movement is truly a movement of mainstream America.

We now have street level protest folks working hand in hand with seasoned citizen lobbyist and those that have been calling, faxing, and e-mailing congress about illegal immigration now have a new wave of energized supporters from the Tea Party and 9/12 ranks!

Many of the 9/12 and Tea Party supporters are happy to now be working with immigration enforcement groups that have substantial track records passing and defeating legislation. through citizen activism. It is our hope that the new fusion of energy with the groups that have the experience and strategies to successfully stop destructive legislation will be a winning combination.

We have to take our hats off and salute the fine organizers and concerned citizens that put these events together and often braved the elements to attend. Our people in Anchorage stood out in ten degree weather. Our fellow patriots gathering in many cities braved pouring rain and snow! While there were some rough edges in some places, we are proud of the dedication and hard work everyone put into these events. It was a learning experience and we can do even better in the next round!

Now we turn all of our attentions to lobbying members of Congress and gearing up with candidates for Congress in the 2010 elections.

There is a full fledged peaceful political revolution brewing in America that will cost large numbers of politicians their jobs next year.

We must continue and intensify our efforts to unify the four out five Americans that oppose Amnesty and other unpopular legislation into a popular political uprising that will truly bring CHANGE to America by placing We The People back in control of Washington, DC and place those that have betrayed the American public out in the streets or into prison where they belong.

Please review all of the press coverage coming in from around the nation about our events and we will have pictures and videos from our many great events on November 14, 2009 assembled for you soon.

Shocking! Illegal immigration protesters attacked, pushed into traffic

Che Guevara supporters with a radical pro-amnesty coalition viciously attacked and bludgeoned tea party protesters at a Florida anti-illegal immigration rally, including a 62-year-old man who was beaten and kicked in the face.

Topics = Illegal Immigration rallies, Che Guevara supporters, ALIPAC, William Gheen, Tea Parties Against Amnesty, protestors beaten

WorldNetDaily.com

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, or ALIPAC, called for "Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration" to form quickly across the nation on Nov. 14. In less than 30 days, protests were scheduled for more than 50 towns and cities.

But two Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., tea party protesters were brutally beaten by pro-amnesty activists on the day of the nationwide rally as they attempted to film Florida's Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition, or ANSWER, counter-protest.

ANSWER members carried Che Guevara signs and other black and yellow placards that stated "Full rights for all immigrants." They shouted, "Amnesty yes, racists no!"

As the two men attempted to film the protest, a ANSWER member in a black tanktop and blue jeans lunged after one of the cameramen and beat him with a sign, pushing him into traffic. Another ANSWER member in a white T-shirt attacked the same cameraman while the victim defended himself with what appears to be a camera tripod.

A female tea party protester began screaming as Dave Caulkett of Floridians for Immigration Enforcement and the initial ANSWER attacker fought in the middle of the street.

The following is a video of the attack released by ALIPAC:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekW3HmlnYS4

"Supporters of President Obama's Amnesty plans attacked Tea Party Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration demonstrators in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009. One of the men attacked is 62 years old," ALIPAC reported. "Dave Caulkett of FLIMEN (Floridians for Immigration Enforcement) is assaulted and then kicked in the face while he is down. The other cameraman from the tea party is hit with several signs."

ALIPAC revealed that ANSWER Florida sent out an e-mail invitation urging members to join its "protest to shut down racist anti-'amnesty' rally" in Ft. Lauderdale prior to the event. ANSWER's letter stated the following:

The ANSWER Coalition is calling on all its members, allies, and friends to join us tomorrow to confront and shut down the racist "Anti-Amnesty Tea Party" in Ft. Lauderdale.

The "Anti-Amnesty" rallies being held across the country tomorrow have been initiated by fascist, white supremacist organizations that include the Minutemen and the so-called Americans for Legal Immigration.

Recent months have shown a significant rise in extreme-right activity with hate crimes and attacks on immigrants skyrocketing. White supremacist and fascist organizations have boasted rapid growth since the onset of the economic crisis. The new administration has continued the government's anti-immigrant policies with "desktop raids"-the liberal response to the fascist like workplace raids of the Bush years.

Racism is like anything else in this world: in order to make it fall, you must smash it! That is why we are calling on all people to come out tomorrow, to organize a militant confrontation with the so-called "tea baggers." Beating back these forces will require us to organize together, take the streets, fight the racists wherever they show their faces and drive them out of every community. …

We are building a movement that will beat back racism so that working people of all nationalities can unite and fight against our one, shared enemy: capitalism. Amnesty, full rights for ALL immigrants, is a demand that should be raised not just by the immigrant communities, but by every working class community in our struggle to solve this crisis by our own means.

Join us tomorrow, and join us in building the movement against racism and capitalist exploitation!

As WND reported earlier, ALIPAC Chief William Gheen said his group had been calling for a "peaceful, political revolution and uprising in America."

We are receiving so many e-mails and calls asking us where Tea Parties Against Amnesty will be located on Nov. 14 that we have installed links to the EVENT LOCATIONS page at the top of each page at www.AgainstAmnesty.com  The EVENTS LOCATION page in the main menu has the location of events, times, and organizer contact tools.

Friends of ALIPAC,

We are moving the launch of our next lobby campaign against Amnesty back to Monday so we can focus all of our attention on this Sat. Nov. 14. We feel this will be a better time strategically and we want to organize the new support coming in from the Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration into the new lobbying campaign!

Thanks to your efforts, our pro-illegal alien opposition is already falling back! President Obama and the pro-Amnesty U.S. Senators have already fallen back into the 2010 timetable for their legislation to grant Amnesty and voting rights to 15 million illegal aliens.

In the U.S Congress, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) has fallen back past his earlier promise to file an Amnesty bill by the end of October. With the news reports coming out of D.C., it appears that House Democrats in swing districts are begging their leadership NOT TO PURSUE this legislation at all.

Gutierrez's latest move is to plan a big announcement AFTER our protests. He has notified his illegal alien child army of volunteers to tune in for a big meeting or press conference on November 19! Traitor Gutierrez knows that each day he falls back the chances that Americans will defeat his Amnesty plans go up!

LET'S KEEP PUSHING THEM BACK!

We only have three days left to do our very best with the historic protests against Amnesty and illegal immigration set up across America for you on Saturday, Nov. 14.

ALIPAC supporters told us they wanted these and we have delivered!

Now it is up to you to make this effort a success.

Please consider the following steps.

1. Locate the Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration (TPAA) protest nearest you and make plans to attend this Nov. 14. Full details of each event are at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

2. Check the details at www.againstamnesty.com as some locations and times may shift. We plan to provide you with more details on each event soon. Some events are simple sign and flag gatherings and others have guest speakers.

3. Use your e-mail contact lists, the "Tell Others Feature", and your Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace accounts to spread the word about www.AgainstAmnesty.com and get people to sign up. Pay close attention to the number of people signed up on the site. WE WANT THAT NUMBER ABOVE 5,000 by SAT. NOV. 14. It is up to you to decide if we make that goal.

4. Try to persuade friends, family members, and neighbors to accompany you to the nearest TPAA.

5. The most important thing is to be physically present at one of these events. If you can, bring American flags, state flags, or other appropriate flags and signs. If you are looking for sign ideas and online resources to help you print signs, please visit this link where our activists will be gathering and updating sign suggestions for you over the next three days...
http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-177663.html

6. Get the word out on talk radio by calling into shows. ALIPAC is trying hard to get national media exposure for these historic events but despite numerous press releases, no response yet from the MSM. If you have the time, please contact these sources with a note asking them to please COVER THE TEA PARTIES AGAINST AMNESTY AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION BEFORE NOV. 14. Perhaps if a few hundred of you contact them they will listen and respond?

This Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009 promises to be an historic day as Americans of every race, political party, and religious denomination unify behind Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration that have quickly formed in over 50 cities in reaction to the news Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) plans to introduce Comprehensive Amnesty legislation by the end of November.

"The Obama administration and the U.S. Congress need to cease and desist advocacy for any form of Amnesty legislation, since any path to citizenship for illegals is opposed by over 78% of Americans," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Too many Americans are aware that four out of five Americans oppose this, that there are Global business interests pushing this unpopular plan, and that the Government is intentionally under-enforcing our existing immigration laws."

The Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration are being organized by Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) and the events are organized at the website www.AgainstAmnesty.com. Citizens can show their support and demand at the website by registering to become supporters or event organizers. The website also provides event locations and times accompanied by maps.

Protesters are encouraged to attend, to show their support and to bring American flags and signs opposing Amnesty for illegal immigrants if possible. In some locations, motorists will be encouraged to honk, if they oppose Amnesty. ALIPAC has rapidly assembled over 50 events but is planning larger operations for the Spring of 2010, when the Gutierrez / Obama Amnesty legislation should be the top story in the nation.

"This is our warm-up run to the larger Amnesty battle in the Spring," said Gheen. "We are organizing citizens to call and e-mail Congress again like we did in 2007, when we shut down the Capitol phone systems. We are also organizing folks in the streets with Tea Parties and organizing behind campaigns for Congress. This is no longer just an issue, this is a political revolution brewing in the heart of the United States."

All citizens that believe the U.S. Constitution and popular existing immigration laws of the United States should be enforced, INSTEAD of granting Amnesty, are encouraged to tell others, show their support, and attend the over 50 events detailed at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

Currently there are events planned in Yakima, WA, Sterling, VA, Alexandria, VA, Fort Worth, TX, Austin, TX, Columbia, SC, Hazleton, PA, Valley Forge, PA, McAlester, OK, Maria Stein, OH, Columbus, OH, Painesville, OH, Syracuse, NY, New York, NY, Las Vegas, NV, Dumont, NJ, Grand Island, NE, Omaha, NE , Raleigh, NC, St. Paul, MN, Waterford, MI, Detroit, MI, Wilbraham, MA, Metairie, LA, Indianapolis, IN, Chicago, IL, Post Falls, ID, Idaho Falls, ID, Boise, ID, Iowa City, IA, Fort Lauderdale, FL, Sebring, FL, Lake City, FL, Durango, CO, Denver, CO, Modesto, CA, Pasadena, CA, Los Banos, CA, San Francisco, CA, Santa Maria, CA, San Diego, CA, Sacramento, CA, Salinas, CA, Redding, CA, Riverside, CA, Big Bear Lake, CA, Phoenix, AZ Snead, AL, Anchorage, AK

Some events will be simple protests of those gathering with signs and flags. Others will include live music and speeches by candidates, group leaders, and elected officials. Lists of numerous scientific polls showing massive majority American opposition to Amnesty and illegal immigration will be distributed at each even. For new events, event locations, and the latest news please visit www.AgainstAmnesty.com often.

The illegal immigration issue is emerging as the biggest threat to passing healthcare reform in the House.

Congressional Hispanics have threatened to vote against the bill because of a last-minute threat from within the Democratic Caucus to bolster the House bill’s immigration restrictions to match those included in the Senate Finance bill.

Subjects: Illegal Immigration, healthcare reform, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, President Obama, vulnerable Democrats

November 5, 2009

And they’re also fighting President Barack Obama, the original sponsor of the language prohibiting illegal immigrants from accessing the public health insurance exchange.

On Thursday afternoon, four leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) traveled to the White House to meet with Obama on behalf of the entire group.

Officially, the purpose of their meeting was to talk to the president about healthcare.

But CHC members, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the group’s message was clear: Drop your insistence on preventing illegal immigrants from accessing the public exchange, even if their only option is to pay for insurance plans entirely out of their own pockets.

A public exchange is a nationwide pool of health insurance providers that would facilitate access to coverage for individuals and employers.

Obama has promoted the concept as a key component of healthcare reform.

The House healthcare bill already bars illegal immigrants from enrolling in the public option and from receiving subsidies for health plans.

But if the final Senate healthcare bill contains the exchange-prohibition provision that’s in the Finance Committee bill, the provision could also be included in a conference report.

And CHC members have said publicly that they would have a very difficult time voting for any healthcare bill that contained such a provision.

“I am concerned about the manner in which the exchange has been characterized, and I understand the politics of it,” said CHC Vice Chairman Rep. Charles Gonzalez (D-Texas), “but it is very bad policy.”

Gonzalez was at the White House meeting along with CHC Chairwoman Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) and Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), the only Hispanic member of the Democratic leadership.

Vulnerable Democrats may push for language that would match the Senate provision on preventing illegal immigrants from accessing a public exchange.

And while there was no identifiable sponsor or group of members pushing for that last-minute change, a Democrat with direct knowledge of the process for guiding the healthcare bill through the Rules Committee described it as a distinct possibility.

If House leaders determined that they needed to insert the Senate immigration language in order to pass the healthcare bill, the Senate language would be included in a “self-executing” rule allowing for consideration of the healthcare bill containing the change.

Should that occur, members of the CHC have said they will vote against the rule. Assuming all Republicans vote no, a revolt of any more than 37 Democrats would torpedo the legislation. The CHC has 27 members.

But a significant number of Democrats — largely from conservative districts — may demand such a change if they believe Obama and Senate Democrats will stand firm on their support for stronger language than the current House language.

“I have to be able to reassure my constituents that those who are here illegally cannot avail themselves of the provisions provided in this healthcare bill,” said freshman Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va.). “The Senate language may tighten that up a bit.”

Connolly said he wouldn’t necessarily need the Senate language to allay his concerns, but he said that he can’t make that determination until he sees the final language of the bill.

“You’ve got real competing interests among Democrats in the House over abortion and immigration, and I believe the immigration issue is the more significant of the two,” he said.

Dems get health ready for House vote

Jennifer Haberkorn THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Democratic House leaders are pushing for a final vote on a health care reform bill scheduled for Saturday with last-minute negotiations continuing over taxpayer-funded abortions and other contentious issues.

Leaders and at least a handful of pro-life Democrats appear to be close to a deal on language that would assure them that taxpayers would not have to pay for abortions, which is the most significant hurdle to final passage.

The 10-year, $1.2 trillion House bill would establish a government-run insurance plan, require individuals to obtain insurance and employers to provide it, and provide tax subsidies to help the poor and middle class obtain coverage.


Final passage in the House would put President Obama's goal of reforming the health care system within sight of the White House. From there, the Senate would have to pass its bill and then the two pieces of legislation would have to be combined, though neither is expected to be easy tasks.

It's not clear yet whether Democrats have the votes required to pass the bill. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, when asked whether he has the 218 votes, simply said, "We'll see."

Democrats plan to make final changes to their bill - expected to include the abortion compromise - by Friday, when the Rules Committee meets. Chairman Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat, said there will likely be five hours of floor debate and no floor amendments accepted in a rare Saturday session in the House.

During that time, Republicans hope to be able to offer their reform plan, released Wednesday, which would allow insurance companies to sell across state lines, establish high-risk insurance pools and limit medical malpractice awards. They rebuffed the idea that Democrats would try to pass the bill with one day of formal debate.

"The idea that Congress would enact a government takeover of one-sixth of the American economy and debate it for half a working day would be deeply offensive to the millions of Americans would cherish limited government," said Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, chairman of the House Republican Conference.

There are expected to be conservative Democrats who vote against the bill over worry that it adds to the debt, allows for taxpayer-funded abortion or provides illegal immigrants access to the insurance exchanges.

A group of about 40 pro-life Democrats had threatened to prevent the House from starting debate on the health care reform bill if the legislation would allow taxpayer-funded abortions. There are enough members to successfully do so.

But the compromise, drafted by Rep. Brad Ellsworth, Indiana Democrat, is likely to appease at least the few required to get enough votes to start debate. Ms. Slaughter said Wednesday that the plan from Mr. Ellsworth would be likely be accepted.

Mr. Ellsworth's plan would prevent any taxpayer dollars from funding payment for an abortion, he said, requiring any payment for the procedure to circumvent the Treasury Department entirely.

The Congressional Research Service issued a legal advisory that the compromise would uphold the status quo - that taxpayer funds don't go toward abortions, which is what nearly all parties say they're trying to do.

"We don't want the abortion issue to be the issue that derails health care reform," said Rep. Jim Langevin, Rhode Island Democrat.

But the plan doesn't go far enough for the National Right to Life Committee, which called it a "money-laundering scam," signaling that it may not appease all 40 members.

[b]Immigration also threatens to stall health care reform. In recent days, groups that support a crackdown on illegal immigration have warned that the House bill would allow people in the country illegally to get access to the insurance exchanges or other government benefits provided by the bill.

"If powerful special interests prevail, the final version of a health care reform bill will have been used to transform immigration policies as aggressively as it was used to transform the U.S. health care system itself," said Dan Stein, president of Federation for American Immigration Reform.

But at least one supporter of expanding health insurance access to illegal immigrants said Wednesday that preventing access would threaten his support.

"I would find it extremely difficult to vote for any measure that denies undocumented workers health care," said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat. He said undocumented workers should be allowed access to insurance coverage provided that they get no tax assistance. [/b]

Amnesty to be 'coup de grace' to United States?
'We are calling for a peaceful, political revolution in America now'

Posted: November 03, 2009

By Bob Unruh
WorldNetDaily

The chief of an organization that has been fighting plans to grant amnesty to millions, perhaps tens of millions of illegal aliens now within the United States, has launched a campaign for a series of "tea parties" on Nov. 14 to let Washington know what Americans want.

"I'm not going to mince words," said William Gheen, chief of Americans for Legal Immigration, "We are calling for a peaceful, political revolution and uprising in America now."

Dozens of events already have been planned, but more are needed, Gheen said today. That's simply because while President George W. Bush's plans for immigration reform and amnesty for illegals were bad, under President Obama the situation is deteriorating quickly.

"The globalists that are behind illegal immigration intend to replace heartland Americans with new voters who previously were illegal aliens," Gheen told WND. "If that occurs it won't matter what your issue is, they will control that voting population, effectively destroying the conservative base of the Republican Party … There will be no peaceful or political hope for future immigration enforcement of the borders
of the United States.

"It will be a country that no longer exists," he said. "It will be the coup de grace."

Under the banner of the AgainstAmnesty.com website, where details about the times and locations are being listed, events are being planned nationwide. Already plans have been confirmed for:

* Phoenix
, Ariz., 10 a.m. on the state Capitol grounds at 1700 W. Washington St.

* Los Banos, Calif., 11 a.m. at 903 East Pacheco Blvd. near Los Banos County Park

* Pasadena, Calif., 10 a.m. at 100 N. Garfield Ave.

* San Diego, Calif., 11 a.mm. at 100 Tuna Lane "Tuna Harbor Park"

* San Francisco, Calif., 11 a.m. at Fisherman's Wharf Pier 39

* Santa Maria, Calif., 11 a.m. at Bradley Rd & Betteravia Rd.

* Denver, Colo., 10 a.m. at 500 E. Colfax Ave.

* Durango, Colo., 1 p.m. at 149 S. Camino Del Rio Santarita Park

* Fort Lauderdale, Fla., 1 p.m. at N. Federal Highway and E. Oakland Park Blvd.

* Sebring, Fla. 1 p.m. at 213 Circle Park Dr.

* Post Falls, Idaho, noon at 5100 Riverbend Ave. Greyhound Park & Event Center

* Chicago, 1 p.m. at Michigan Ave. and Madison Ave.

* Wilbraham, Mass., 8 a.m. at 2001 Boston Road

* Waterford, Mich., noon at 5100 Dixie Highway

* St. Paul, Minn., 11 a.m. at 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd

* Dumont, N.J., 8 a.m. at Columbia Ave. and Washington St.

* Raleigh, N.C., 2 p.m. a 16 W. Jones St.

* Columbus, Ohio, 10 a.m. at 1 Capital Square

* Maria Stein, Ohio, 2 p.m. at 8608 State Rt. 119

* McAlester, Okla., noon at 500 S. George Nigh Expressway

* Hazleton, Pa., 2 p.m. at 40 N. Church St.

* Fort Worth, Texas, noon at 100 East Weatherford St.

* Alexandria, Va., 11 a.m. at 333 N. Fairfax St.

* Sterling, Va., 1 p.m. at 21660 N. Sterling Blvd.

The organization said that while most polls show a supermajority of Americans "of every race and political affiliation oppose any form of amnesty or path to citizenship for illegal aliens," Obama already is moving that direction.

"Like Bush, he is creating amnesty without congressional or public approval by suspending enforcement of most of our existing immigration laws
! The latest news reports indicate Obama has recently stopped work site enforcement, stopped local police from enforcing immigration laws, stopped Arizona Sheriff [Joe] Arpaio from arresting illegal aliens, and now intends to release illegal aliens in custody from detention centers as a prelude to his comprehensive amnesty.

"We find his actions to be authoritarian, dictatorial, and a violation of both the letter and the spirit of the U.S. Constitution and his own oath of office. Obama is depriving all Americans of representation for those who are taxed, and is violating public trust at a time we need every job and taxpayer resource for Americans!" the group's website says.

"It is time for Americans to stand together in unity to insist that citizen control of our government be re-established and that the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, which empowers Congress to create uniform immigration laws and the president to enforce them, be respected!"

Gheen told WND there's an urgency because U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez has announced plans to introduce an amnesty bill to Congress by the end of this month. He said while it may not be address immediately, by spring of 2010, it's expected to be on an Obama fast-track much like the health care takeover proposal now.

Gheen said his organization has worked with lobbying, telephone calls and e-mails in the past. But the situation now, "is getting so unstable that we feel its important for people to get in the streets and organize in a civil fashion."

Friends of ALIPAC,

This is our last strong request for people to step forward to volunteer as organizers for Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration on Saturday, Nov. 14.

We are very pleased that we have 24 organizers in place so far, but we would like more. Remember that there will be a huge flood of interest in these events if Luis Gutierrez files his Amnesty bill before the 14th!

We also will be receiving more press coverage over the coming week so we need more towns and cities organized to receive the beneifits of that coverage.

Soon, our full attention will turn to 1. Getting more people to attend the events we do have organized. 2. Turning up the volume on our lobbying efforts and 3. Channeling the Tea Party efforts into more support for our lobbying against Amnesty and illegal immigration.

We have made becoming an organizer very simple.

You can simply pick a location where you want people to join you to hold signs and flags and to talk about Amnesty for illegal aliens or you can start off with something simple and build it up with guest speakers if you like.

The most important thing right now is to provide the American public with as many events as possible for each event, even if only a small gathering, will be a chance to get the truth out about Amnesty and illegal immigration.

If you, or someone you know is willing to sign up as an organizer, we will provide you with assistance, information, suggestions, etc....

Simply take the following steps.

1. Go to www.AgainstAmnesty.com and make sure you are signed up as a supporter on the homepage, but if the maps and Events List does not show an existing event within a one hour drive of your town, please visit the "Create Town Rally" page and fill out the ORGANIZER form at the bottom.
http://www.againstamnesty.com/organizer_application.php

2. E-mail the exact street address and description of your event location to Info@AgainstAmnesty.com (Ex. 55 Main St. 'City Hall" or 123 Circle Drive "Cactus Park" etc.)

Once you are on our maps and lists, people can contact you by e-mail if they are in your area and have questions.

As you can see, there are thousands of people signing up for these events but not as many organizers in place as we would like to have.

We need new events that have no existing events within an hour's travel, but there are some blank spots on the map where we have lots of interest but no organizers yet.

Atlanta, GA
Houston, TX
New York, NY
Portland, OR
Seattle, WA
Salt Lake City, UT
Las Vegas, NV
Kansas City, MO
St. Louis, MO
Nashville, TN
Sarasota, FL


We currently have events listed in the following cities that need your support.

A preemptive strike to stop amnesty from becoming law is in the works.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is calling on the immigration enforcement movement to team up with the Taxpayer Tea Party and 9/12 movements to hold “Tea Parties Against Amnesty” rallies across America on November 14.

“We know that the honest polling data shows over three to one opposition to the Gutierrez Obama Comprehensive Amnesty path to citizenship legislation,” William Gheen of ALIPAC said in a press release referring to Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez proposed immigration reform legislation. “ALIPAC stands ready to organize and channel the backlash wave of anger that is coming into peaceful civic action designed to remove many lawmakers who do not serve the wishes or interests of their constituents in 2010!”

Luis V. Gutierrez, D-Ill. is the chairman of the Democratic Caucus Task Force on Immigration. He also introduced the Citizenship Promotion Act with then Senator Obama in 2007. It is a bill which, in part, would give $80 million to community organizers to “organize” the immigrant community to become U.S. citizens with the right to vote.

The “Gutierrez Obama Comprehensive Amnesty” plan, as ALIPAC calls it, made news in October when Gutierrez spoke at an event organized by Reform Immigration FOR America. According to their website, “The Campaign to Reform Immigration for America is, in part, a project of the Tides Advocacy Fund.” The Tides Advocacy Fund “is founded on principles of social justice, broadly shared economic opportunity, a robust democratic process and a sustainable environment.”

The key criteria outlined in Gutierrez’s proposed legislation includes:

In an email exchange Gheen said that the November 14 rallies were put together rapidly to catch any backlash that would come from Gutierrez if he files his proposed legislation. Gheen made it clear that these upcoming rallies are a precursor, “We plan larger scale operations in the Spring,” he wrote back.

The last time comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens was put forward was in June 2007 under former President George W. Bush. The bill was defeated when the Senate vote fell 14 votes short of the 60 required to move it forward.

While it is no secret that America’s immigration system is broken, and this longstanding system breakdown adversely affects America’s national security and economy, the latest Rasmussen Report shows, “By a 70% to 22% margin, voters say that gaining control of the borders is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers already in the country.”

However, despite the wishes of voters, legalizing illegal aliens inevitably seems to become the dominate topic in the immigration debate. It also appears in impending legislation aside from Gutierrez’s proposals. Before President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, for instance, in January 2009, Vermont’s Senator Patrick Leahy introduced the tough-titled “Stronger Economy, Stronger Borders Act of 2009,” S. 9. However, in Sen. Leahy’s introduction it is revealed that a wall with Mexico should be “reconsidered” because it is a “symbol of fear and intolerance,” and “harsh penalties and more enforcement” are not a realistic solution to address illegal aliens.

Then there is Senator Charles “Chuck” Schumer, a co-sponsor of S. 9, who also serves as the Chairman of the powerful Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security. His voting record, documented by Ontheissues.org, suggests he is a staunch illegal aliens advocate.

More evidence that legalizing illegal aliens is on the horizon appears in an October 1 interview in the New York Times with the new director of the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), Alejandro Mayorkas. Mayorkas said that the agency “is already planning ahead for the possibility of giving legal status to millions of illegal immigrants.”

This all might be good news for amnesty advocates but here is the bad news — which should concern both points of view on this issue. The notion that the USCIS, tasked in part to keep America safe by keeping unscrupulous people out, is a competent agency and therefore will be equipped to process millions of illegal aliens should amnesty become law is fiction and entirely absurd when one examines the USCIS’ record. For starters, America’s $2.6 billion a-year immigration agency amassed a twenty-year backlog of applications under both Democratic and Repubican administrations. It loses files. Even worse, it is riddled with crime and corruption where bribery, be it for money, gifts or sex is part of their record of achievement that has put America’s national security in jeopardy and arguably contributed to the illegal alien problem in the first place. To expect competency from this troubled bureaucracy could prove to be an exercise in self-defeat.

ALIPAC’s mission is to conduct rallies and protests across America. “We hope that these events combined with our lobbying efforts and support for campaigns will stop these attempts to destroy America through mass illegal immigration and amnesty.”

US Govt Not Deporting Half Of Illegal Alien Criminals

2009 October 28 Wednesday
by By Randall Parker
Parapundit(dot)com

A new study from the Center for Immigration Studies highlights the effectiveness of a federal policy to allow local law enforcement officials to do immigration law enforcement. Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1995 enables police to detain illegal aliens. But a shortage of federal resources allows many criminals to escape deportation.

287(g) provides a significant boost to ICE’s ability to identify and remove aliens who have committed crimes. In 2008, the number of 287(g) arrests (45,368) was equal to one-fifth of all criminal aliens identified by ICE in prisons and jails nationwide (221,085).

287(g) is cost-effective and much less expensive than other criminal alien identification programs such as Secure Communities and Fugitive Operations. For example, in 2008 ICE spent $219 million to remove 34,000 fugitive aliens (who are mostly criminals). In 2008, ICE was given $40 million for 287(g), which produced more than 45,000 arrests of aliens who were involved in state and local crimes.

The biggest obstacle to improving and expanding 287(g) is the lack of funding for bed space to detain illegal aliens who have committed crimes who are discovered by local agencies. Currently ICE is removing fewer than half of the criminal aliens identified under 287(g).

Deportation of illegal aliens who commit crimes (aside from entering and staying illegally) is great for citizens because the criminals are, well, criminals. They prey on non-criminals. When police are able to identify criminals as illegal aliens the US government should make the necessary effort to deport every last one of them. That the US government can't even get it together enough to deport all the criminal aliens is pathetic.

We are pleased to announce that organizers have stepped forward to answer the challenge in Maria Stein, OH!  An event has been added to our schedule.  Please notice a special detail on this event.  This is event is the only event on Sunday November 15, instead of Sat. Nov. 14.

With only four days remaining until Congressman Luis Guitierez files his Comprehensive Amnesty legislation, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is moving into position to harness the dramatic public backlash by positioning the group on social media sites and preparing Tea Parties Against Amnesty to be held across America on November 14!

"We know that the honest polling data shows over three to one opposition to the Gutierrez Obama Comprehensive Amnesty path to citizenship legislation," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "ALIPAC stands ready to organize and channel the backlash wave of anger that is coming into peaceful civic action designed to remove many lawmakers who do not serve the wishes or interests of their constituents in 2010!"

ALIPAC recently became the most supported organization in the nation on either side of the immigration debates on Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. The group has even surpassed organizations with multi-million dollar budgets such as the National Council of La Raza.

"ALIPAC is dominating the pro-Amnesty groups in the social media just as we have on the web for years because truth be known we have much more support from the American public than they do!" said William Gheen.

Americans for Legal Immigration is also setting up "Tea Parties Against Amnesty" across the nation on November 14 to capture the backlash against the Gutierrez Obama Amnesty Bill.

The Tea Party Against Amnesty effort is being organized at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

This new website has fourteen events setup and seven hundred supporters after less than two weeks of operation. A huge wave of new supporters are expected, once Gutierrez Obama files his Amnesty bill.

"Make my day punk!" said Gheen. "Gutierrez and his fellow traitors in Washington know they are running out of time on this Amnesty legislation and since 78% of Americans oppose what they are trying to do and many consider it Treason."

The Tea Parties Against Amnesty on November 14 are only a warm up to collect support from the initial backlash and in preparation for a larger number of events being planned for the Spring of 2010, when the Amnesty battle will be full swing, if Gutierrez follows through with his threat to file a bill by October 30.

Reporters and activists can find more information or sign up as organizers and supporters at www.AgainstAmnesty.com

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told CNSNews.com that after reviewing the Memorandum of Agreements between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state and local law enforcement agencies in 23 states, the only agency to lose its authority under the 287(g) program to operate task forces that can enforce federal immigration laws is the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

“It’s the only one,” Matt Chandler, spokesman for the DHS, said on Thursday.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who oversees the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, is well-known for arresting illegal immigrants to be deported, and his success in catching illegals has been criticized largely by liberal public leaders and activists.

On Oct. 16, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that 67 agreements had been renewed, including Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s department, which retained its authority to check the immigration status of individuals who are booked into Maricopa County jails but is no longer authorized to check immigration status during street operations.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 added Section 287(g), which explains performance of immigration-officer functions by state officers and employees, to the Immigration and Nationality Act. It authorizes the secretary of DHS to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting officers trained and certified by ICE to perform immigration law enforcement functions.

Since January 2006, the 287(g) program is credited with identifying more than 130,000 potentially removable aliens, the majority of which are incarcerated in local jails. More than 1,075 law-enforcement officers have been trained and certified through the program.

“Coordinating with our state and local partners is important to smart and effective enforcement of our immigration laws,” Napolitano said in announcing the renewals. “These new agreements promote public safety by prioritizing the identification and removal of dangerous criminal aliens, and ensure consistency and stronger federal oversight of state and local immigration law enforcement efforts across the nation.”

“The rules set forth in these agreements will enhance our efforts to work together effectively with our local partners,” Napolitano said.

But critics charge that the Obama administration is trying to appease people who oppose amnesty for the 12 to 14 million people who are believed to be in the United States illegally.

“We are troubled by this administration’s promotion of 287(g) contracts and other programs that continue to hijack state and local criminal justice systems to enforce federal civil immigration law,” Margaret Huang, executive director of the pro-amnesty Rights Working Group, said ahead of a demonstration at DHS headquarters on Thursday to oppose the agreements.

“While Arizona is an egregious case, this is only one example of the abuses that can occur under such programs,” Huang added.

As reported earlier by CNSNews.com, the Hispanic Congressional Caucus has asked the Obama administration to terminate the 287(g) program because it claims the program uses racial profiling to target immigrant communities.

“These agreements are the subject of serious concern as local law enforcement agencies have used the new powers to target communities of color, including a disproportionate number of Latinos, for arrest,” the caucus wrote in a letter to President Barack Obama on Sept. 28.

“The 287(g) program, which was significantly expanded throughout the Bush administration, relinquishes the power to enforce federal immigration laws to local law enforcement and corrections agencies,” the caucus added.

“The misuse of the 287(g) program by its current participants has rendered it ineffective and dangerous to community safety,” the letter said.

CNSNews.com also earlier reported that Sheriff Arpaio could use another federal law to continue to enforce immigration laws in Maricopa County.

Kris Kobach, former counsel to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and a professor of law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, told CNSNews.com that there is a federal statute that addresses immigration law and local law enforcement.

“Federal law does expressly authorize state and local police to make immigration arrests of previously deported felons who return to the United States and are in the country unlawfully,” Kobach said.

“That federal statute is found at 8 U.S.C. 1252c. In addition, as the U.S. Department of Justice officially recognized in 2002, state and local police possess the inherent authority to arrest illegal aliens and detain them briefly in order to transfer them to federal custody,” Kobach added.

“Those are two forms of arrest authority that Sheriff Arpaio possesses, apart from Section 287(g) authority,” Kobach said.

Arpaio claims that more than 30,000 individuals have been identified as illegal aliens since his department signed on with ICE in 2007.

Arpaio said he plans to continue to arrest people who are in the United States illegally.

“We’ve been doing it for two years and have been very successful, but I guess they don’t like to enforce illegal immigration laws,” Arpaio told CNSNews.com. “[It] doesn’t make any difference. I’m still going to continue my programs, regardless of what the feds like or don’t like.”

In the Oct. 16 announcement, the DHS said that 55 agreements had been signed by ICE and the partnering agency; 12 agreements had been reached and await approval by the local jurisdiction's supervisory authority; and six agreements had negotiations underway.

Six jurisdictions did not re-sign the new 287(g) agreement or withdrew during negotiations for a variety of reasons, including implementation of the Secure Communities program, budgetary constraints and limited program utilization, according to the DHS.

Our thirteenth location around the nation has just been added as we welcome Alexandria, VA to the battle against Illegal Immigration.

Tea Parties Against Amnesty Nationwide November 14

For Immediate Release

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

The Obama administration's gutting of key immigration and border security programs combined with a push for amnesty legislation by the Hispanic Caucus in Congress has led to a national organization calling for Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration to be held across America on Saturday, Nov. 14!

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, also known as ALIPAC, is a multi-party and multi-ethnic national organization founded on 9/11 in 2004 to oppose illegal immigration and amnesty, while supporting border security and the enforcement of our existing immigration laws.

"Obama is creating an unlawful and unconstitutional Amnesty for illegal immigrants today by completely paralyzing the enforcement of our existing immigration laws." said William Gheen spokesman of ALIPAC. "By doing so he is defying the will of Congress and over 80% of America's citizens of every hue and political persuasion. He is now officially worse on immigration than Bush!"

Numerous national and local polls indicate that a super majority of Americans oppose President Obama's continuation of the Bush non-enforcement doctrine and path to citizenship agenda for illegal aliens. A recent Pulse Opinion Research, LLC, poll of 1,000 likely voters on August 26, 2009 found seventy-eight percent (78%) of likely voters were opposed to legalizing the status of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., with only 19% supporting it!

"We have Republicans and Democrats in Washington today who are acting like a one party system, while betraying the American public in unprecedented fashion," said William Gheen. "It is time for Americans to Unite and to light up the switchboards in DC and gather in the streets and parks to demand that attempts to pass any form of Amnesty for illegal aliens cease or be defeated!"

ALIPAC's call for supporters and Tea Party organizers comes on the heels of this week's announcements by Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Illinois Democrat Luis Gutierrez that Amnesty legislation will be filed by the Hispanic Caucus in Congress by the end of October.

This unpopular attempt to implement and pass Amnesty comes at a time when public anger towards Washington is at historically high levels, along with historic unemployment, underemployment, foreclosure, debt, and deficit levels.

All Americans who oppose Amnesty for illegal aliens are encouraged to visit ALIPAC's new website at www.AgainstAmnesty.com to sign up to support or organize Tea Party Rallies Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration on November 14, 2009!

Www.AgainstAmnesty.com will be updated daily with the latest news about the push for Amnesty for illegals, new protest locations around the nation, and important tips on how to lobby lawmakers.

Friends of ALIPAC,

Tomorrow we will announce, via national press release, our ambitions to make history on November 14, 2009 with a wave of unprecedented Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration across America.

We need your help to prepare.

We need help with four things today.

ORGANIZERS

One, we need volunteers that are willing to setup an event in your town or city. This is very easy to do and you can do something simple such as just picking a location where a few people gather with signs and flags or you can build your event up to a larger venue with stages and guest speakers. The most important thing is that you volunteer to give people a place to gather with you to speak out against Amnesty on 11-14!

Being an organizer is a great opportunity for someone that has never done one before or an experienced hand involved with the Tea Party or 9/12 events!

If you are willing to be an organizer, all you need to do is pick out the location you plan to have your event and the times you want to have your event. We recommend three hour events. If your event location is on private property, you will need to approach the owner for full permission after you tell us your location. If your event is on public property you will need to call local police to see, if you need a simple permit or not. Cities and towns cannot charge you excessive fees for protests or rallies and we all remember how the illegal aliens took to the streets without even seeking permits a few years ago.

If you can get us your information before Tuesday morning that is great. If not, please send us your info soon.

If you are willing to be an organizer please send us the following info. We need a phone number for our records but if you don't want the number displayed let us know.

LINKS LINKS LINKS!

As we launch this website officially this week, many people will hear about us in the media and look for us on search engines.

For them to be able to find us in large numbers we need as many quality web links into www.AgainstAmnesty.com as possible.

If you own or administer a website or websites please place a simple link to us on your site or blog. You can also use our "Link To Us" section for cool graphics and banners.

If you are a Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace user you can place a link or banner directed to http://www.AgainstAmnesty.com there for others and the search engines to see.

If you post and comment in online communities like ALIPAC's Discussion Groups please consider adding a link to www.AgainstAmnesty.com to your signature file or your profile pages.

You can also help us with links by sending e-mails to those that run your favorite websites or blogs that read "I noticed you are not linking to the Tea Party Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration website yet. They need lots of help before 11-14-09 so please place a link and or banner on your site to www.AgainstAmnesty.com"

The success or failure of our efforts on 11-14-09 could greatly depend on the number of web links out there pointing at us. We need you to get the ball rolling.

Comments, Corrections, and Suggestions?

Please look over each page at www.AgainstAmnesty.com It is a work in progress and we are still putting on the finishing touches. If you see any typos or needed corrections let us know. If you have any suggestions on how the site could appear or function better let us know.

Group Sponsors?

If your group or organization or one that you belong to is willing to become a SPONSOR of the 11-14-09 events with us, please have them contact us. Each sponsoring organization must agree to help in three ways. 1. To organize a minimum of one event somewhere in America with one of their officers speaking at the event. 2. To prominently display banners and links to us on their primary website and 3. To contact each and every e-mail contact and social media contact they have on behalf of www.AgainstAmnesty.com

We need more sponsors soon, so please let us know.

Our goal will be to get as many events lined up with as many people signed up as possible.

We will put out a call for attendees next and you can go sign up to attend rallies and encourage your friends to do so when we put out the call.

You will receive a copy of the press release and official announcement tomorrow morning.

Let's get as many links in, errors corrected, events and organizers listed, and sponsors on board as we can before tomorrow's official launch!
