It's Against Federal Law to be a Sanctuary State for Illegal Aliens (Maine)
MagicCityMorningStar ^ | Feb 14, 2004 | Frosty Wooldridge

Posted on 02/24/2004 6:41:29 PM PST by fight_truth_decay

Maine is one signature away from becoming the first Illegal Alien Sanctuary State in America. Immigration lawyers supporting illegal aliens are pushing Governor Baldacci to sign an executive order that will stop state agencies from questioning a person's immigration status.

More distressing is the fact that all major newspapers in Maine are owned by the same family. That family favors illegal immigration. Therefore, this executive order is being shoved down citizens' throats while they sleep. A spokeswoman said, "They are working so fast and quietly to leave this a 'done deed' before word of the sell-out can hit the national headlines."

Maine's growing illegal alien population is represented by El Centro Latino, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, Asian American Heritage and other groups working to ensure illegal aliens continue unimpeded in that state.

Even more unsettling is the title of the order: AN ORDER REGARDING INQUIRIES INTO IMMIGRATION STATUS. It reads, "I, John E. Baldacci, Governor of the State of Maine, do hereby order that no State agencies question any person about his or her immigration status and engage in any activities for the purpose of ascertaining the immigration status of any person."

Much like Special Order 40, created in Los Angeles in 1979 by Daryl Gates to stop officers from ascertaining immigration status from people they caught for crimes, Maine will be the first state to give protection to illegal aliens.

It counters federal immigration laws, USC 8, 1325, sections 274, 276, 277 and other statutes. It is a federal crime to "aid, abet, assist, encourage or induce an illegal alien to remain in the United States." This is what the governor and representatives of Maine will force down citizens' throats like a 'fait accompli' or 'done before you knew what hit you."

This is an example of the loss of the rule-of-law. It's further example of 'Third World Momentum' overwhelming the United States. Illegal immigration advocacy groups grow in power with each new victory. It's abhorrent that Americans must fight for their own country inside their own country. The dangers to the nation increase everywhere in America if Maine fails to identify, detain and deport illegal aliens. If Maine passes this order, we're all at risk. It means Tom Ridge's Homeland Security is a vacant farce not only on the Mexican border but also on the Maine border.

Al-Qaida waited patiently for eight years from the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 to the second one on 9/11/01. You must understand that religion's eternal patience. "Allah akbar" to them means, "God is great." When you hear those words, kiss the ground because a bomb is about to go off. They also know their patience will bring about a 'lull' in our vigilance. For every opening you give them - such as more ways to embed themselves in America via the sanctuary being proposed in Maine - the more you give them the power to carry out their Jihad. As we rest, they plan. As our leaders pretend to protect us, they smile. As our government sallies forth in battle across the planet, members of Jihad grow in strength within our country. They are patient and they give no quarter.

However, there's another Jihad advancing into America. It's an insidious invasion of refugees from around the world that comes from an endless line from the lack of family planning. The source grows by 80 million people annually. It can't stop itself because it stems from illiteracy. It's advancing on our country without mercy and without end. I've seen it and my heart goes out to them. It's rampant in Africa. It's sickeningly awful in South America. It's horrible in the Middle East. Mexico is in its clutches. It's streaming into Europe. It's beyond emotional comprehension in Bangladesh and India. China's 1.3 billion is beyond understanding. It enslaves them in never ending disease, poverty, hopelessness and misery.

Worse, it won't get better; it will worsen. It's headed into America. Day by day, week by week, immigrant by immigrant! The governor of Maine has no clue as to what he's bringing upon his state. He possesses good intentions but Maine will be swamped by this invasion with an added five million people within 50 years. He doesn't understand 20 years from now how much damage he will have wrought on his fellow Maniacs - and assuredly in time, the rest of the United States.

This country is in more trouble than it realizes. The more we stand by with good intentions, the more they will come. The more we allow, the more they will grow. The more we encourage, the more they will stream across our borders - until, one day, we will become what they have fled. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great nations rise and fall, and that, "An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide."

A draft of an Executive Order from Senator Strimling as well as a letter requesting the Governor to sign the order.

Actually, this may not be a bad idea. I'd support all Federal funding of any kind to end once this is signed. Then, I'd ensure all states would know they can sent their illegal aliens up north toward that direction...maybe even providing them bus tickets.

Let Maine keep them all.

I favor sending all illegal aliens in the US to Maine. Well I wouldn't mind if a few moved to Vermont.

Maine continues in its campaign to retain the Most Clueless State in the Union crown.

If this passes, at least the next batch of hijackers won't have to be inconvenienced by having to detour through Canada.

"As elected officials it is imperative that we assist those most in need of our services, and protect our constituents from unjust, unwarranted discrimination."

Hey Strimling! What about applying this "careful regard" to the citizen constituency that put your lame arse in office?
If I were a cursing man, he'd be the target object of the moment. GRRRRRR! Dangblasted prostitute politicians!!!

Gays in San Francisco, New Mexico. Illegals in Maine. Is the inevitable DIS-integration accelerating?

How is an "Illegal" person a "constituent"? A constituent is a person who lives and VOTES in the area and is a citizen. Anyone else is just a trespasser.

Is there something in the water up there that all these crazy ideas are coming from the NE?

Howie Carr was talking to Tom Tancredo about this today. Outrageous!

Talk about sneaky under the radar stunts and illegal to boot.

Baldacci is such a one-termer. Tone deaf and running the state into bankruptcy. Today's Bangor Daily has a nice expose of him trying to salvage the budget by awarding a liquor monopoly, but on the verge of losing 75 mill. What a dork.

Did you read this in any of the Maine papers? I had to hear it on the Carr show today..then do a search. Saw it had not been posted in FR. Was it in the Maine publications? Found it in the Washington Dispatch which we cannot post.

I'm Gonna take a wild guess, but I think "...El Centro Latino, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, Asian American Heritage and other groups working to ensure illegal aliens continue unimpeded in that state" are the constituencies he's referring to. The ones that are PAYING politicians, like Strimling, to be heard.

I wonder if there's someone from Maine who can post the contributions the named groups have paid to the Governor and Senator? That'll explain a lot of the whoredom in politics re: Illigration.

I agree. Stop all federal funds to Maine and send all the illegals to Maine.

Then they will all be signing executive orders just like the bad old days when Clinton signed a billion of them for the wrong reasons.

Well maybe the feds need to start 'drafting' some federal charges against this *so-called* governor.

Hi!
Thanks for the ping!
There is a letter in The Twin City Times..(small Lewiston paper)...from a man asking for any and all help to try and recall The Governor...and he's a Democrat!
Even THEY don't want him, it seems!

This man is going to ruin the state!

"Maine is one signature away from becoming the first Illegal Alien Sanctuary State in America."

If it passes, copy the action Israel is undertaking. Build a barrier around Maine, dissuade anyone from leaving before going thru a rigorous check of who they are, where they are from, their immigration status, etc.

Let the rest of them stay in Maine and the Maine folk and their lobsters can swim in the chowder.
