So when stopped by the police I can just claim to be an illegal immigrant?

I just sent these losers an email telling them what I thought of their "services" and I think you should all do the same. America for law abiding Americans and not for these millions of illegals using our services, wasting our money and turning our laws to their own purposes.

Wouldn't it be an absolute shame if that number ended up on all the porno usenet groups as a hotline for free phone sex? Hmmmmm..... Not that I'd DO anything like that to a company that's providing such a valuable service, seeing as how it's an 877 number and they would have to pay long distance charges for every call......

I don't know if they have a connection to MALDEF, or if they just swiped the name.

I found http://www.towntopics.com/jan1905/other3.html

"Created in the fall of 2004, LALDEF grew out of the Latin American Task Force, a coalition of Princeton area agencies and individuals that has been helping the local Latino community in various ways for more than a decade. In response to the recent increase in the level of immigration enforcement in the community, those in the task force have joined with other concerned Princeton area residents to form a new group that could raise funds to address some of the many problems faced by this community. Operating as an affiliate of the Quaker Settlement at Stony Brook, a non-profit organization, LALDEF expects to continue to rely primarily on community volunteers for its work."

They're listed here:

They attended the meeting described here: http://www.nuestrogiron.com/2005/Inmigration/NEWS/Debate.html

I seem to recall an English-language news report about that meeting. Apparently mayor Palmer declared his city an illegal alien sanctuary.

MALDEF is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and promote the civil rights of the more than 40 million Latinos living in the United States. Making sure that there are no obstacles preventing this diverse community from realizing its dreams, MALDEF works to secure the rights of Latinos, primarily in the areas of employment, education, immigrants' rights, political access and public resource equity.

MALDEF's goals are:

1. to foster sound public policies, laws, and programs that safeguard the rights of Latinos; and
2. to expand the opportunities for Latinos to participate fully in society and to make a positive contribution toward its well-being.


The overall objective of the political access program is to enhance Latino influence in the political process by ensuring meaningful participation. This program encompasses:

* voter registration
* ballot access issues
* methods for electing governing bodies
* the counting of populations for reapportionment

The remarkable population growth of the Latino community in recent years must translate into increased political representation. More Latinos must be registered to vote and cast their ballots to ensure that their needs are met in important policy issues. Ensuring that the election system presents Latinos with a fair opportunity to elect representatives and to run for elective office of their choice is the goal of our Political Access Program.

MALDEF is also preparing for upcoming redistricting work which promises to present a challenge to the voting rights of Latinos. MALDEF provided input for national policies concerning census data and its use in post-census redistricting efforts. With MALDEF's support, the Department of Justice agreed to take a position on the issue of tabulating race data from the census so that civil rights enforcement could be maximized. We also advocated successfully so that the Census Bureau would be able to issue two sets of census numbers. In addition to the actual census figures, the Census Bureau will now also announce adjusted numbers which utilize statistical sampling methodology to ensure a more accurate count of the Latino population.

MALDEF is updating the redistricting "blue print," an analysis of the Latino community's national demographics. This analysis will advise MALDEF on how resources for the Latino community can be most effectively distributed. MALDEF is preparing for the redistricting challenges that lie ahead by identifying experts, initiating outreach to other groups who will or should be involved in redistricting and beginning discussions with legislators regarding redistricting. MALDEF is pleased to spearhead a project with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and NAPALC, our counterparts in the African American and Asian American communities, to publish a training manual to help each local community participate in redistricting in a meaningful way.
