Just Say No to Arnold

For Immediate Release-- January 30, 2004

Governor Schwarzenegger has ignored the massive public outcry against any form of legal documentation for illegal aliens and is now following in lockstep with President Bush who has proposed an amnesty to more than 12 millions illegal aliens in the United States. Arnold has gone back on his recall election promise, knowing that California's voters are overwhelmingly opposed to giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens. His pledge to repeal SB60 was a key element in his defeat of Cruz Bustamente as well as the successful recall of Gray Davis; both of whom pandered to ethnic voters and were rejected by them.

SBX3 2 was introduced by State Senator Gil Cedillo during a special session of the State Legislature last November 23, 2003.The bill, which had been withdrawn in response to the overwhelming public rejection by Californians, had to be reintroduced by Cedillo so it would be available for the current legislative session. Otherwise, without that action, SB60 would have been "Terminated" and unavailable for the 2004 Legislative Session. SBX3 2 currently uses extremely vague language so as to escape any public attention. However, it will soon be amended with the real language inserted.

The notion that illegals will buy auto insurance is just that, a notion. Illegals can't qualify for preferred carriers and will have to get assigned risk coverage, a form of insurance that most citizens cant even afford.

Save Our State says no to Schwarzenegger's driver's license bill and no to Bush's amnesty proposal; we're asking the people of California to help us get the SOS initiative on the ballot for the November election. Petitions can be downloaded from the SOS web site at save187.com. This constitutional amendment will prevent Schwarzenegger and the State Legislature from giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens and will also make Bush reconsider his amnesty scheme.

Unidentified military unit caught crossing U.S. Border by Chris Simcox Tombstone Tumbleweed

Well before dawn broke on a chilly Saturday morning volunteers of Civil Homeland Defense were in position atop ridges along the San Pedro River scouting for groups of people entering the country illegally. Through binoculars this reporter spotted two military type vehicles parked at an abandoned ranch just across the “Line”, the U.S. - Mexico border.

Dennis Miller - Emmy Award winner Dennis Miller brings his take-no-prisoners, suffer-no-fools style to CNBC’s prime time lineup.| Host and Executive Producer: Dennis Miller| Senior Producer and Head Writer: Eddie Feldmann

Did anyone happen to catch Dennis on Jay Leno? He was in top form, just saw the rerun. He told Jay he wants to report the news no one will and unlike the liberally biased media! He used "Immigration" as an example. He said go to 'any' of the border states at night with night goggles. He said you feel like your looking at the Boston Marathon. He said something has to be done!

Does anyone know how to get a transcript of the Leno show?

I've seen little of his show since it debuted this week. I'm usually on here. But when it comes to Dennis, Scarborough and Dobbs none of us should miss their shows, or at least their transcripts!

Immigration: For those who think that illegal aliens are a good deal because they will work for such low wages, consider this figure — $9 billion.

That rather large sum is Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's low-end estimate of how much is spent each year on health care for illegal immigrants, not by themselves but by others.

So while illegal alien labor might be cheap for businesses that employ undocumented workers, it isn't, as Rohrabacher points out, for taxpayers.

Rohrabacher arrives at the $9 billion figure by multiplying $21 billion, the amount of uncompensated health care services provided last year by the American Hospital Association's member facilities, by 43%, the estimated portion of the uninsured in the U.S. that are illegal immigrants.

Sheriff concerned about violence, plans volunteer patrol

BISBEE - Sheriff Larry Dever said Thursday that illegal immigrants are becoming more brazen putting the lives of Cochise County residents in jeopardy.

An extreme example of how dangerous the border situation has become is a Thursday morning carjacking, during which a woman and her daughter were assaulted at their residence by three Mexican nationals who illegally entered the United States, Dever said.

"They (illegal immigrants) are more desperate and obviously they don't care about American citizens," he said.

According to 2002 statistics of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, more than 375,000 illegal aliens residing in the U.S. have been ordered deported, but failed to appear for deportation proceedings. Of that number, 80,000 are criminal aliens who served time in prison and were then released without the knowledge of federal immigration authorities. This group includes convicted murderers, drug dealers, rapists and child molesters, all because local law enforcement does not have knowledge of their illegal resident status, or in some cases because local statutes called "sanctuary laws" prevent local police from enforcing federal immigration law.

Colorado eyes limit on benefits for aliens

DENVER — A third Western state is moving forward with a ballot measure to deny state services to illegal immigrants, an effort that could spell trouble for the White House by galvanizing opposition to President Bush's guest-worker proposal.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, began the latest campaign last week by announcing that he had filed papers for a Colorado constitutional amendment that would restrict all but non-emergency services to U.S. residents and legal aliens.

His proposal follows similar efforts in Arizona and California, where organizers are circulating petitions for citizen initiatives that would ban state welfare and other services for illegal aliens. If they gather enough signatures, all three measures would appear on their state ballots in November.

The Bush Amnesty Plan: A Tragedy in Three Acts
HUMAN EVENTS ^ | Jan 30, 2004 | William Buchanan
Posted on 01/30/2004 11:59:46 AM CST by Federalist 78

Many individual events have occurred during the Bush Administration's tenure. However, there is one theme that consistently flows through the administration's domestic security initiatives. It is an undisguised, almost obsessive effort to eliminate our southern border.

Complementing this endeavor is the one and only goal of Mexico's Fox administration—to drive as many Mexicans into the United States as possible. Bush's new "temporary worker" plan, in rapacious pursuit of cheap labor and votes, prefigures national self-destruction, while Fox seeks to maintain the corrupt and oppressive oligarchy that misgoverns Mexico.

Theirs is a tragedy (for us) in three acts.

Proposed Resolution

Enforce the Current Immigration Laws

WHEREAS our own government cannot control its own borders, a central requirement of a Nation, and

WHEREAS with the government's estimate of eight to twelve million illegal aliens currently here already, with hundreds of thousands more entering illegally every year, and

WHEREAS in our continuing war on terror an open border is an invitation to attack, and

WHEREAS illegal aliens committed one crime by entering the United States, another one by working without permission, probably a third felony by using a false SS number, and a fourth felony by using forged documents, and

WHEREAS an American citizen cannot go to Mexico, commit four crimes, and then receive amnesty or benefits there, and

WHEREAS illegal aliens are causing increased burdens on our government agencies and public infrastructure, especially along our southern tier of states, and
WHEREAS the excessive amount of illegal aliens already is a large factor in depressing current wage rates for American citizens, and

WHEREAS past amnesties have only served as an invitation for additional migrations, and

WHEREAS liberal political correctness even tries to prohibit us from using the term illegal aliens, which they are, and instead prefers to use the term 'undocumented workers', when these illegal aliens should be really be called unconvicted felons,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the South Shore Republican Club in caucus assembled that the US enforce its current immigration laws, seal its borders from aliens, along with the possible use, if necessary, of the US Armed Forces to

'defend' our borders, and that any illegal aliens found here be detained, sent back to where they came from, and their native government be billed for their transportation back home, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the United States, or any state, or any local government, provide no rewards, amnesties, visitation extensions or benefits to illegal aliens, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a law be passed, and enforced, to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, photo ID to vote, and proof of eligibility for public benefits.
