Aother fact:

The lie, “anti-illegal immigration people cost the repubs the 2006 election!!

The truth:11.5% of all Republican seats in Congress were lost as Democrats took back control of Congress

But only 6.7% of the Members of Tancredo’s Immigration Reform Caucus lost their seats.

# 9.6% with an A grade lost

# 25.0% with an F grade lost

THIRD WORLD PROPAGANDA "anti-illegal immigration people cost Repubs the 2006 election"

Balderdash. Third Worlders are salivating over getting their hands on US foreign aid billions---the only way that happens is to further the fiction that they are a political special interest inside the US that will defeat candidates who do not kneel in obeisance to illegals.

REFERENCE The Ecuadorian government will ask the Organization of American States (OAS has 35 members) to promote the free movement of people within the continent in order to curb the deportation of immigrants who are in an “irregular condition [Read: illegal] as a matter of human rights” and to stop deportations

They are urging “an integrated migrant policy with full respect for human rights in the framework of human mobility in order to avoid situations in which the undocumented immigrant might be arrested for a minor infraction and be deported, thus destroying his life’s future plans.

"Migratory agreements” have been established by Mexico and Peru. Ecuador estimates that 1/5 of its population is in migratory status, mostly in the US, Spain and Italy. NOTE "Poor" illegals send billions back home---and "somebody" is getting a cut of it.

REFERENCE Gov't of Guatemala Protests Arrest of 3 in Florida Over Passports

ANALYSIS The Guatemala govt is scared stiff they won't get all the money Guatemalan immigrants are draining from the US Treasury. Guatemalan immigrants in the US sent $3.6 Billion back home last year alone. Social Security provides outrageous financial aid to Guatemalans who have been coached by their government to "seek asylum." These people never paid a dime into the SS system; yet they collect seven years straight, and get extended payments w/ political connections. Checks can amount to $1000 a month, and more. At a summit held last May, the Guatemalan AG for Human Rights said that 10% of Guatemala's population has relocated to the U S. About 60% currently in the US do not possess legal immigration documents.

A 2005 study by the Intl Organization for Migration, says the Guatemalan population in the US numbers 1,364,000. The study found that the vast majority of Guatemalan immigrants in the US sent home $3.6 billion last year, alone.

Mexicans sent some $50 billion back.
