THOUGHTS FROM YOUR NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN December 29, 2005
Dear Friends,
On December 10 at the SREC meeting here in Austin I indicated that I was preparing and would be filing a resolution for adoption by the RNC addressing the issue of illegal immigration. The resolution has been filed and will be considered by the RNC Resolutions Committee at the RNC Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C. on January 19. The text of the resolution, including the underlined portion which I hope to have the Resolutions Committee adopt as an amendment, is as follows:
RESOLUTION URGING IMMEDIATE CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
ON
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
WHEREAS, it is reliably estimated that at least eleven million citizens of other countries have entered and currently remain in the United States in violation of applicable immigration and naturalization laws; and
WHEREAS, the ability of such persons to illegally enter and remain in the Unites States presents a grave risk to the security of the United States; and
WHEREAS, in many instances the resources of national, state and local governmental entities are overburdened and depleted or exhausted by attempts to deal with and meet the needs of such persons after they illegally enter the United States; and
WHEREAS, Republican Party leaders across the country are constantly and vigorously confronted with demands that appropriate legislative action be taken to address and resolve the problems of illegal immigration; therefore be it
RESOLVED that the Members of the Republican National Committee urge that the Congress of the United States, as a matter of the highest priority, take all necessary steps to provide appropriate authority and means to (1) effectively close the borders of the United States to illegal immigration, (2) identify all persons who are currently in the United States in violation of immigration and naturalization laws and arrange for their return to their country of origin as expeditiously as may be reasonably possible, (3) preclude automatic United States citizenship for children born in the United States to persons in the United States in violation of immigration and naturalization laws, and (4) establish a functional guest worker program which includes a reliable means of verifying the identity of each guest worker to his or her employer and provides no preference for those persons presently in the United States illegally.
It will be very interesting to see what the RNC does on this issue. I expect to have an opportunity to urge the adoption of the resolution by the Resolutions Committee and the RNC, and will keep you posted as to what occurs.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
Well, I won't hold my breath. But, they better worry about the ballot box. It is the ONLY issue that impacts our security in every single way possible, that CAN BE CONTROLLED. Simple, it can be done. They better deliver or they will be out living with US.
Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about! Is it more than methane?
Is this the same alley, alley, oxen free RNC of the last few years? I hope the sudden 180 isn't just about elections because open borders is literally destroying this nation and has to be stopped.

Good to see. Chuck's good people.
We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.
Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.
For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.
We're not interested in your "new America" George. We have a damn good one as it is.
