My thought is to make this thread a daily storehouse for all the hard work that Freeper Patriot's do on this issue. This issue has built over several years here and is not going anywhere, so maybe it is time for us who are very passionate about this issue to have our own place. Please add whatever you want to make this thread grow.

• Illegals:
  The Imminent Threat Posed by Our Unsecured U.S.-Mexico Border
  by Jon E. Dougherty

  In years past, immigration into the United States was treated as a privilege, not a right to be granted automatically just by being able to make it to America's shoreline or borders. Today, however, the entire process of immigration has been drastically politicized by both major parties in Washington, D.C.; one party sees votes - the other, cheap labor. This is investigative journalist Jon Dougherty's probing look into how this indiscriminate immigration is tearing at the fabric of our culture and society. Interviewing Border Patrol agents, local residents, citizen-enforcement groups and even the immigrants themselves, Dougherty examines the implicit dangers of our reckless attitude toward admittance, showing how all American citizens, native-born and otherwise, are consequently threatened by welfare fraud, drug lords, and terrorism. This is the untold, unnerving true story about the social and political turmoil on the U.S.-Mexico border.

  
  

• The Enemy Within:
  Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our
  Schools, Faith, and Military
  by Michael Savage

  Popular radio host Michael Savage returns to print with another attack on the forces of liberalism that he believes are tearing America apart. Using the same brash, abrasive style in his writing that has become a trademark of his radio show, he writes that "the Left operates specifically to undermine God, country, family, and the military" and that liberalism is "either treason or insanity" or "a mental disorder." He also takes on illegal immigration.

  
  

• Fighting Immigration Anarchy:
  American Patriots Battle to Save the Nation
  by Daniel Sheehy

  Fighting Immigration Anarchy: American Patriots Battle to Save the Nation" is a frightening alarm of the ethnic disorder and financial breakdown that are created by the corrupt political, business, and media elites pursuing a globalist agenda. But the book also provides hope that America can be preserved as a unique nation under the rule of law. The tales of individual citizens seizing the initiative to do the job Washington won't -- protect the country from foreign invasion -- are both an inspiration and a playbook. In the spirit of 1776, dedicated patriots show how it's done, and that individual courage still matters.

  
  

• Patrolling Chaos: The U.S. Border Patrol In Deep South Texas
  by Robert Lee Maril

  As the 110,000 residents of McAllen, Texas, sleep soundly, a small number of U.S. Border Patrol agents wait in dark shadows on the northern bank of the Rio Grande. Those thinly spread watchers are the first line of defense against a chaotic tide of undocumented workers struggling to cross the river to El Norte and small, fiercely determined groups of drug smugglers with huge sums of money at stake.

  Patrolling Chaos is based on extensive ethnographic field work focusing on one station of three hundred agents over a two-year period. It follows twelve typical agents, men and women, as they go about their regular ten-hour patrols along the border. It describes the daily challenges and risks they face and the perspectives and insights they hold as a result of their extensive, first-hand experience with the hard realities of immigration policy, the war on drugs, and the threat of terrorist infiltration.

The average recipient gets $2,400 a year by way of a tax credit. Persons who are working here illegally today are not currently getting the earned income tax credit, but if we regularize them and make them permanent residents, they will. That will cost us a lot of money

When the millions that have never filed a tax return do so most will get some type of refund and many will qualify for EIC some for many years. We'll end up paying them to take amnesty.

OBTW: Great post add me to ping please.

Local immigration activists to support national protest
April 10 march in downtown will join other rallies in major cities over legislation
Houston, we have a problem!

April 10th: National Day of Action for Immigrant Justice [from migramatters]
On April 10, 2006, immigrants and their allies from around the nation will mobilize in Washington, DC and multiple other cities to oppose the harsh and unworkable HR 4437. They will be demanding real immigration reform that is comprehensive, respects civil rights, reunites families, protects workers, and offers a path to citizenship for the current undocumented and future immigrants to the US.
In Houston, a march will be starting at Guadalupe Plaza, located at Navigation and Jensen (in front of Talento Bilingue de Houston) at 1:30pm. The march will go into downtown Houston and end at Allen's Landing. People are encouraged to get there early as parking may be really difficult. If this march ends up becoming larger than the Walk for a DREAM that took place on March 25th, it may very well be the largest march in Houston's history.

SENATOR SESSIONS ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS ACT Mr. President, I thank Senator Leahy, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee.

I have received just this afternoon in my office some disturbing news in the form of correspondence from the Congressional Budget Office. It suggests a number of areas where the amendment we are talking about here today, No. 3424, the immigration so-called compromise, violates our budget and the rules of the Senate.

Let me read from the correspondence we have received. This is something, as you know, Mr. President, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, that we never discussed at all. It is not a matter we spent any time at all discussing as we moved forward with legislation which ultimately cleared that committee and came to the floor — legislation which I thought was not good legislation and which I opposed, and so did the Senator from Texas, who just relinquished the Chair. We didn't discuss the financial impact of the legislation before us.

Stand Up For America !

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thank you Senator Sessions!We have a winner! They were in such a hurry to cram it down our throats..they forgot who was paying for it and how much it would cost..Malfeasance! Dereliction of Duty! Violation of their own Rules! Censure! Vote the bums out!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

They [the reform's costs] also do NOT include revenue losses and outlays for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which we will be getting from the Joint Tax Committee and which results largely from the conditional non-immigrant provisions. Those revenue losses and Earned Income Tax Credit outlays may be significant.

Does that mean what I think it does? If so then I say again, we CANNOT afford to have the ILLEGAL aliens "pay" their back / future taxes!

. . .you will see that they [the "cheap" labor] fall in the classic earned income tax credit range . . . The average recipient gets $2,400 a year by way of a tax credit.

Yes, I think it means what I've always thought would happen.

It's called government subsidized "cheap" labor for American businessmen who hate government interference.. er, well, most interference.

Don't forget to budget for the millions and millions of relatives of the "regularized" workers -- regularized workers hate being alone.

Remember to put SSA on alert.. those regularized workers will need to have their years of W-2 data all transferred from the Earnings Suspense File to the SSA Earnings Master File when they get their shiny new SS numbers.

I just posted this on another illegals thread, so hope you don't mind if I copy it here too. (And I apologize in advance for the lenghth)

I've been thinking about doing a thread asking for FReepers advice on submitting a congressional inquiry into the allegations that Senator Hagel committed a felony when he told the INS not to deport illegals in the meat-packing industry in Nebraska.

For anyone not familiar with the charges, I copied the following from RUSH's website:

Here's Mark Krikorian giving some examples of how our lawmakers often work behind-the-scenes to thwart our immigration laws:

In ninety eight, the border patrol noticed that the work force picking onions in the vidalia onion fields of Georgia appeared increasingly to be illegals, so they did some raids, arrested a few dozen illegal aliens, and all the rest of them ran off. So the farmers were there stuck with onions in the ground and no one to pull them out. It was all their own fault, they knew what they were doing, but nonetheless, they were outraged. They called their Congressmen, and by the end of the week, three of Georgia's Congressmen and both Senators, Republicans and Democrats, wrote a joint letter to the Attorney General demanding that the Immigration Service stop enforcing the law. Because they said the INS does not understand the needs of American farmers. Which in ordinary English means, "let them pick the onions, then arrest them. Preferably before we have to pay them". Well, the INS got slapped down and stopped.

So what they tried as an alternative to raids, was something called Operation Vanguard in Nebraska. It was sort of the first effort at something like this to see if it worked. They didn't do raids anywhere, all they did was subpoena personnel records. And they didn't just pick one or two employers, they did all the meatpacking plants in all of Nebraska, so that no one of them would be inconvenienced while the others benefitted. They took the personnel records back to the office, checked the Social Security numbers, and came back with a list of people who seemed to be illegal, who did not have authorization to work. They said "we know some of these people are legit and the records are wrong. We want to fix those people's records and the ones that are illegal, have to leave of course". They came back with four thousand names. One thousand people showed up and got their records fixed and three thousand were never heard from again. They were illegal aliens. It worked really well and it was intended to be repeated every two to three months so as to wean the whole industry off of the use of illegal aliens.

After one effort like this, the political and business elite in Nebraska went insane. The ranchers and the meat packers teamed up with the governor. The governor's predecessor, now Senator Nelson, was hired as a lobbyist to put an end to this initiative. Senator Chuck Hagel made it essentially his mission in life to see that this was never repeated and it wasn't. And the Senior INS official who thought it up in the first place was invited to retire early -- and he did. If you're a bureaucrat and you have kids in college, you're going to take the hint: Congress doesn't want you to enforce the law. So the Immigration Service essentially gave up enforcing the immigration laws inside the country. They focused on the important, but narrow, issues of criminal aliens and smugglers. I'm all for that, criminal aliens and alien smugglers are the scum of the earth, but there's a lot more to the issue than just that. But, going after those parts of the issue doesn't get you in trouble politically. So that's what they did, they gave up because Congress told them to stop doing their jobs. They really haven't changed that much (since) 9/11.

I've been told that requests for congressional inquiries are given a high priority (but that was regarding a military office, so I could be wrong). Thought it would be worth the effort though. Hagel committed a felony, and though there may be a statute of limitations, it should be made public knowledge. He is a high profile person in all this, and if he received nothing more than a censure, it would serve as a warning to other power-hungry politicians.

The above examples are the reason why our current immigration laws aren't working. The people who make our laws violate the ones that threaten their power.

My questions are: Is this feasible? Who do I send it to? (Frist is my senator) Do I send it to multiple senators, like Tancredo?

[antaresequity]

I was looking for a renewed sense of urgency regarding the immigration debate on FR...and all I could find is this tabloid flavored thread...

Where is the outrage?

Where are the true constitutional conservatives who are livid and boiling over with rage with what Bush and the RINO legislative cabal are doing?

We are having the wet wool pulled over our eyes and getting screwed from the rear by the salacious bullcrap being called 'immigration reform'...

Anyone else as still pissed off as me?

In Washington 'PORK' used to refer to wasteful spending and pet earmarks...I propose that from now on that four letter word PORK should refer to what GW and the RINO elitist cabal congress is serving up from behind [your behind]...in regards to immigration reform... Bend over...and smile...your getting PORK...

Bush Decries Top Democrat on Immigration

WASHINGTON - President Bush blamed Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid on Saturday for the potentially fatal blow dealt to compromise immigration legislation. The landmark bill, which would offer eventual citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants, fell victim Friday to internal disputes in both parties.

Stunning! Utterly stunning! You mean to tell me that we are actually supporting illegals via our taxes and social services, and cuts in our own paychecks. Well, I never. You mean all the folks in Washington haven't been helping us CITIZENS, they been hindering? The D.C. lawmakers are such lovely folks, aren't they...
