Good Luck! We are in a battle and are down to the wire in Illinois, Our Senate wants to vote in Drivers License for Illegal Immigrants ((vote Nov 18th 2003)), Everyone wants to cry and whine
No one wants to do the work that's needed.
But alas..I believe thankfully that history is changed by a few..........................

e-mail David Sullivan and tell him to VOTE NO to SB 67!!!

____________________________________________________________


State Senators Dave Sullivan (R-33rd District) and Rick Winkel (R-52nd District) joined with 27 Democrats and voted YES on SB67 last Thursday, November 6, 2003. The controversial bill which would require the State of Illinois to issue Driver's Licenses to illegal aliens fell just one vote short of the 30 votes necessary for passage in the State Senate. However, SB67 will come up again for reconsideration on Tuesday, November 18, and two Democrat supporters of the bill who were absent the first time will be present to add their YES votes to the total!

Clearly, our best (and only) chance to stop passage of this bill is to kill it in the senate. And to do that, minds must be changed.


Please contact Senators Sullivan and Winkel and urge them to VOTE NO on SB67!


We must ACT NOW for our voice to be heard!

Sorry, but it appears President Bush and the rest in DC could care less.

[resistmuch]

Bush's utter complicity in this ongoing invasion will outweigh any good he does in office. How are we better off if we defend our country abroad and lose it at home?

[ETERNAL WARMING]

As one citizen said to me, why should we care when the problem does not touch us directly?

Oh but it does. 65% of all illegals are on public assistance. We directly pay taxes to subsidize that cheap labor. Less than 6% pay any taxes into the coffers. Our hospitals are closing, ditto clinics because they can't afford to treat all the illegals for free. They cost us dearly...each and every one of us. And only 2% actually pick those strawberries. They're displacing American workers at the rate of 730,000 per year...that's citizens unemployed because business is hiring illegal, under the table laborers.

And let's not forget the 25-28% jail population that is illegal aliens who have committed crimes against citizens.

I want it fixed, now.

I am not sure that we could save this nation now, even if they started today, and sadly they won't start today, or even five years from now.

I weep for our nation, and long for the one that I lived in, where children could walk the street alone, even at night. Doors were never locked and keys were left in cars. Every boy carried a pocket knife and most had rifles and shotguns, that they could use unsupervised.

THIS will be the battle for our country this coming decade. It is cheaper for Mexico to help elect "compliant" politicians in the border states than to properly care for its own citizens at home. VF should have had his #ss kicked back to Mexico and GWB ought to be furious with his presumption. In the long term-solve this boder and immigration issue and we'll have a far better grip on terrorism than any Patriot Act could do.

Immigration policy broke Non-existant; Repair needed

[Reaganwuzthebest]

I want it fixed, now.

As long as the "fix" isn't amnesty and a massive guest worker program. This writer doesn't say what his idea of a fix is, but that's where most editorials are going these days.

[JustPiper]

BumpPing!

Immigration policy isn't broken. It functions pretty much just as those who engineered it want it to. This can't be emphasized too often. The present immigration situation isn't an accident, it isn't because of the impossibility of doing anything about it, or the incompetence of the the INS, it is policy, made at the highest levels of government and, more importantly, at the highest levels of social control, mostly in the mass media, that exist over and above the government.

I wonder WHO built all those homes in Phoenix (and everywhere else) before the invasion? American construction workers, of course, and many have lost their jobs to cheap labor from Mexico. Our economy is in the toilet, yet Bush still wants to import foreign workers. Something stinks in the White House.
