Dear Fellow Republicans:
I have heard from many of you over the past few years regarding your concern with our open borders and the high number of illegal immigrants in our country. Because I share your concern for our country's security, I have signed on as a co-sponsor to the attached resolution. In order for a resolution to come to the full RNC membership for an up-or-down vote, it requires at least ten co-sponsors. I have joined the following RNC members as one of the ten willing to co-sponsor this resolution:
Alaska June Burkhart
Arizona Randy Pullen
California Barbara Alby
Colorado Bob Schaffer
Louisiana - Kay Kellogg Katz
Michigan Chuck Yob
N. Dakota Curly Haugland
S. Carolina Buddy Witherspoon
S. Dakota Ron Schmidt
Texas Denise McNamara
This issue of border security is a high priority among grassroots Republicans, especially in Texas, and I am proud to take a strong stand for action on the RNC. We will meet in Washington, D.C. from Jan. 18-21, so stay tuned. This will be an interesting vote.

WHEREAS, Immigration enforcement training needs to be provided to state and local law enforcement to strengthen interior enforcement of immigration laws, and
WHEREAS, Withholding U.S. citizenship from individuals born to illegal aliens will remove the so-called anchor baby inducement to sneak into our country, and

WHEREAS, Working or residing illegally in our country must not establish rights or financial benefits of any kind for illegal aliens, and
WHEREAS, Any guest worker plan that allows illegal aliens to remain and work in our country will only result in more illegal immigration and increased crime in our country, and
WHEREAS, Respect for the rule of law is a bedrock principle of our country, our culture and our posterity, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee calls for the immediate securing of our border with all available means and the enforcement of existing immigration laws in the workplace, and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee calls for all federal funds to be withheld from any city, state or local jurisdiction that acts as a sanctuary for illegal aliens by advocating policies, written or understood, that prohibit or otherwise thwart cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, and be it
FINALLY RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee calls upon the Congress to pass and the President to sign a bill enacting laws to secure our borders and end employment of illegal aliens in the workplace at the earliest possible opportunity and to immediately commence enforcement.
Respectfully submitted,

No, skull and bones.
I will be bringing this resolution up for a vote at the January, County Republican Central Committee meeting.
It will be interesting what kind of reply I get
Look at how the House moved on this issue. FAST FAST FAST
If everyone called their Representative and Senators there would be action on this anchor baby legislation.

I think the Supremes are going to decide this one.
