I don't know about you, but I was working literally night and day with FAX machine and phone and stamp-buying frenzy to halt that last boondoggle Congress nearly passed over a sleeping America!
Churchill said we must never give up. I hope you do not acquiesce by thinking we've lost the battle. Millions of us are willing to fight this again, so much so that those congressfolk will be quaking in fear of the defeats we'll hand them if they go near the "comprehensive" tomfoolery ever again!

Thank you for your efforts.
Urge officials to extend E-Verify. On May 21, E-Verify is set to expire. E-Verify is the U.S. government's only effective program against illegal immigration. It is operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration and allows employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees and the validity of their Social Security Numbers.
This important program is free and has an accuracy rate of 99.6 percent. It is unconscionable that Congress has stripped language from the stimulus bill that would have continued funding for eVerify. Their actions are not in the best interests of their constituents, the American people, but it is in the best interests of special interest groups and illegal aliens.
Obama's stimulus bill will provide about 15 percent or 300,000 construction jobs. Contractors receiving stimulus money need E-Verify to check the status of workers applying for these jobs. Without E-Verify, these jobs could go to illegal aliens. That's a lot of lost income for American citizens who are footing the bill. I do not want to be on the hook for billions of dollars spent putting illegal aliens to work. I urge everyone to contact their senators and congressmen and ask them to save E-Verify.
The 2010 Census (being run out of the WH) intends to count every illegal alien. The numbers are used to apportion the US House---according to population. A state harboring illegals can gain seats as long as the Census Bureau finds and counts them. Also has the potential to alter the regional and philosophical balance of power in Congress.
The Census Director and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke joined with the National Council of La Raza, the League of United Latin American Citizens,and the Ntl Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials to discuss efforts to ensure a full count of Latinos. The director said: Our goal to count every individual, every resident whether theyre documented, undocumented, whether they are citizens or non-citizens.
Some Americans observed Hispanics collude to dupe census takers.....inflating their numbers as a way to get more govt freebies and political representation. Giiving false information to the census violates federal and state law.
========================================
RIPOFF ALERT The bogus Mexican "drug war" is creating a new class of Mexican illegals claiming "persecution" to gain entry into the US. This is a scam----another way to suckoff working class taxpayers and collect US govt freebies. Social Security provides outrageous aid to these mexican "refugees." Keep in mind the Mexicans never paid a dime into the SS system; yet, they can collect seven years straight and can get extended payments if they are politically well-connected (Obama will see to that).
SS checks to "persecuted Mexican refugees" can amount to $1000 a month and more. Some of them are wealthy people whining about in order to collect. (NOTE The SS "persecution" category was created for the infamous Russian whiners who are given extra-special treatment, job set asides, and all manner of govt freebies. The FBI has designated Russian organized crime the biggest threat to our economy.)
