ALL illegal aliens WILL be covered under the new health care reform legislation if a 'public option' is included in any form in the bill. Regardless of whether the States have an opt-out choice, the Supreme Court will follow precedent and over-rule the States, requiring that ALL THE PEOPLE, whether citizens or not, be covered by the new health care act in all the States. Please contact your Senators and Representative to ask that they oppose inclusion of a 'public option' in the bill. And if all the illegals get free U.S.-quality health care at taxpayer expense, including for all pre-existing conditions, can you imagine the stampede of illegals who will charge our borders? This is the most important illegal immigration issue currently facing Congress and the media have buried it. Call your Congressmen today. Fox News (The O'Reilly Factor) discussed this explosive provision of the health care bill recently, and Judge Napolitano and constitutional scholars discussed it and confirmed that if a public option is included in health care reform, all illegal immigrants will be covered! Even if the bill specifically bars illegals from its benefits, they will still be covered under the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, the same provisions which make illegals eligible for free public education and other services provided by the federal government in all 50 states. This will bankrupt the health care system in the U.S. The clock is ticking fast on the passage of health care reform, so call your Congressmen NOW. Thank you.

Here is an article from the SF paper today - SF to ease up on unlicensed drivers

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/26/BA381A9A9N.D... - it will infuriate you. Read it and write to everyone you can think of to get it out there. I sent it to CNN 360 - hoping they will look in to it and seriously raise the question of the sanctuary city policies and how those policies continue to make it too easy to break the laws.

Overview - SF to ease up on unlicensed drivers.
The reason: Many such drivers are in the United States illegally - and thus unable to get a license - and the officials pushing the change think that impounding their cars is an unfair hardship.

Can you believe it? These are also the folks who don't have insurance - what's going to happen when one of these unlicensed folks is allowed to keep driving - what happens when they have an accident? What if they kill someone?

If I were driving without a license (I have a valid one but you have to have it on your person while driving) - maybe I left it at home by accident - I would get a ticket!!! The police are going to look the other way in every aspect.

Joel, The only candidate I remember talking about comprehensive immigration reform was that McCain who the
Minutemen call the disgrace from Az. I hope he does not
run again.

I agree we should use our vote to get more people into office with enough backbone to eliminate illegal and drastically reduce legal immigration. Kicking all the politicians out of office is a bad idea since we do have many who feel as we do about immigration. The worst thing about our government is campaign contributions which is a code word for bribes. This corrupt practice should never be tolerated in government. All campaigns should be government financed. This sounds like alot of money but with a government that deals with billions, it isn't. If you gave each candidate for congress or president $1,000,000 dollars the cost would fall far short of one billion dollars. The end result would be government doing what is right instead of what special interests want. Of course, each candidate must document how every dollar is used.

Very encouraging to read the eloquent and passionate comments here from Americans all over the country. It is an oasis in the middle of the vast silence in the "media" where the will of the American people is never expressed. Can you imagine a show on CNN "Americans in America" expressing the viewpoint here in the words of ordinary people?

One thing to keep in mind is that Mexico is the tip of the iceberg. Standing behind Mexico are BILLIONS of much more impoverished people just waiting for the wall to drop and get here on every plane, ship, car they can. I see America today like a palace that was built with sweat and blood and masses standing outside and inside the walls waiting to loot the wealth while it lasts.

In the coming elections everyone's first question to ALL candidates should be "What is your stance on illegal immigration?" It certainly is my family's first question because illegal immigration has a negative impact on education, healthcare, employment, housing, crime, and many other aspects of our country. I don't care if a candidate is Democrat or Republican or any other party or an independent. It really bothers me that La Raza and other open border groups receive federal funds to work against our country. They aid and abet illegal aliens and do it with my tax dollars. If this government had the guts to enforce immigration laws a lot of our other problems would be solved. I'm sick and tired of the rhetoric seeking sympathy for these people. They created their own problems by coming here illegally. And to send them back doesn't mean breaking up families. They are free to take their anchor babies back with them.

Thank you for this interesting article. The statistics you cited strongly suggest that momentum (at least amongst voters) is definitely moving away from amnesty and towards more rigorous immigration law enforcement.

In that connection, the nonpartisan bill entitled S. 1688 "Fairness in Representation Act" (which should in my opinion obtain support from every single member of the United States Senate because it seeks to require a citizenship or lawful presence in the United States inquiry on future federal ten year censuses) has of a few day ago only achieved six cosigners. I hope that many more Senators from every political party will become cosigners of this important legislation.

Joan, I like the way you summed up the problem: "illegal aliens aren't going anywhere without a fight. They know they have critical mass now, and they're staying." Doesn't matter where they come from, they are breaking the law, taking American jobs, and contributing to overpopulation.

Looks like our first step will be fighting Senator Schumer's amnesty proposal. I don't know how many ia's will self-deport after amnesty is defeated. After all, they continued coming even after the last amnesty was defeated.

The second step will be putting courageous senators and representatives into office who aren't afraid to say, "We're sorry. You have to go home. We can't afford to have you here."

In Texas alone it cost taxpayers $4.7 billion dollars per year for illegal aliens. They are holding jobs that citizens desperatly need. Houston is a sanctuary city, I hope this changes soon. Schumer is prepping a bill now to legalize 12 to 20 million illegal aliens, The Democrats and Republicans cater to the Hispanic vote. The first amnesty was in 1986 under President Reagan, it legalized 2.8 million illegal aliens now 23 years later we have a socialist President who wants to legalize them again. We need to get rid of Janet Napolitano and appoint people like Joe Arpaio who truly believes in the Constitution of the U.S. and enforcing its laws. The majority of Americans should tell the ACLU and La Raza to take a hike, these people are here illegally and should be deported. The governments primary job is to protect the U.S. for forign invasion, its already failed. They punish border guards for doing their jobs and let illegals go. It is all law enforcements job to stop law breakers, and illegal aliens are breaking the law by just being here, why won't law enforcement do their job? Government politicians won't let them thats why. Remember this in 2010 and 2012 when you vote. Get rid of these socialist like Pelosi, Reid and Gene Green and others.

Joan- It sure sounds as if a lot of our elected representatives are selling us down the river. The perfect example is my two senators, Sentaors Udall and Bennet. NumbersUSA has given Bennet an F- and Udall a D+ on illegal immigration issues.

Unbelievable that they can vote so consistantly in favor of pro-illegal immigration issues and against enforcement of our immigration laws. Of course over the last 9 month our enforcement laws and policies have been drastically weakened and watered down.

The big question is why! Why would a loyal American and an elected representative of the American people with no apparent connections to a foreign country or government, do this? Very puzzling!

This is my latest commentary published in the majority of blogs, the national press and other media. I try to get at least two of my commentaries or even blogs--sometimes articles in every state.

***************************************

Our government needs to prove to the American workers that they mean what they say. That means secure borders and interior immigration enforcement. E-Verify is part of nationwide enforcement, a tool that has caused hysteria amongst the open border demagogues. E-verify was nearly sold out by Sen. Harry Reid , Nancy Pelosi , Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.) and even Janet Napolitano. But this time they failed to arrest it's capability to remove E-Verify from the Parthenon of tools, that addresses the illegal immigration invasion. Brought into the spotlight by Senator Sessions, they Democratic leadership were unable to sink it beyond the enlightened eyes of the attentive public. As with the 1986 Immigration control and reform bill, those anti-sovereignty organizations have--NEVER--tried to--ENFORCE--the law. THROW ALL THESE ANTI-SOVEREIGNTY LAWMAKERS OUT WHEN RUNNING FOR OFFICE AGAIN.

So now those catering to big business are repeatedly saying its broken. like any immigration enforcement laws, Democrats and Republicans alike over decades have refused to enforce the border. A new survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports reveals that 56% of Americans say that federal immigration policies encourage illegal immigration, and 64% believe that local law enforcement should conduct raids in places where illegal aliens gather to find work. Only 19% opposed the raids compared to 24% who opposed such raids back in April. Another condemnation by faith groups is Sen. Chuck Schumer's attempt to claim overwhelming evangelical Christian support for his pending amnesty legislation has crumbled. His master plan was to use the staff and leadership of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) to give the impression of near unanimity.

The NAE tried. But after the members in the pew erupted, only 11 of the 40 NAE member denominations have been willing to sign on to endorse amnesty and Schumer's "comprehensive immigration reform" agenda. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) offered an amendment to the Commerce, Justice and Science (CSJ) appropriations bill that would have prevented CSJ funds from going to cities or localities with "sanctuary" policies (i.e., those cities that prohibit their police officers from assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, refuse to report criminal illegal aliens, and act as safe havens for illegal aliens). The paranoid Senators voted 61-38 to table the amendment (effectively killing it), with at least one of your Senators voting against the amendment. Unfortunately these are SANCTUARY STATES such as California that is now submerged under massive financial debt, a large portion caused by the millions of illegal families living of state welfare. Rep. Joe Baca (D-CA) yesterday introduced a bill that would ensure all citizens and U.S. residents--INCLUDING--illegals immigrants -- are counted in the US Census.

This included Sen. DeMint amendment to construct the original--DOUBLE LAYER--fence, authored originally by Rep.Duncan Hunter, which like most approved laws are hastily thrashed in cloaked conferences pandering to corporate cartels and pro-illegal immigrant lobbyists. Thanks to the open border groups our border defenses comprises of a single layer barrier, with large areas of nothing to halt illegal criminals, drug peddlers, uninhibited terrorists and scores of illegal aliens with families from entering America. Sanctuary policies encourage illegal immigration by sending a signal across the world that anyone who manages to enter the United States will be able to stay here as long as they wish - regardless of their status - because our government lacks the will to enforce its own laws. These illegal policies have contributed to our current illegal immigration debacle and are an embarrassment to the country.

Call and blast your Senators and Representative at 202-224-3121 in Washington. Overwhelming the switchboard with your calls, as it is having an outstanding effect of--MILLIONS of angry voters. INFORM THEM DO YOUR DUTY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES ON RE-ELECTION DAY? Tell them you want a PERMANENT E-Verify for--EVERY WORKER, a secure double layer fence and--REAL--enforcement against sanctuary state policies. Read undisclosed facts at NUMBERSUSA. UNEARTH the corruption at JUDICIAL WATCH. Your voice is needed to halt OVERPOPULATION and American Worker survival. Demand NO-MORE-AMNESTIES. Go home and come through the front door, like millions of legal immigrants?

Let's Try a Fresh Zogby Poll

Ask Americans if they want more overpopulation in their neighborhoods.

I'd bet a million dollars that 80-90% of Americans would say "No Way".

That's the trouble with most immigration type polls, they use weasle wording like "reform", "guest", "labor shortage" to twist the results, IMO. They do it by implying blatant lies in their questions are actual facts too.

I agree Margaret- I think we need to re-establish our policy of arresting IAs at companies where they are working illegally. I believe a lot of IAs self deported as a result of those raids.

Also the policy declared by Janet Napolitano back in March, was to do away with these raids BUT they were going to agressivly go after the employers of IAs. Ah yes; the old slight of hand trick. So far, there have been few, IF ANY, arrests of employers since that announcement. Maybe some procecutations, but no new arrests. I really think this is a point that we need to hold DHS accountable for.

I would hope that American people are for elimination of IAs entering our country, not just for fewer people entering ilegally. If not, we are really in trouble. Of course, political aysulum is another matter.
