Fight illegal immigration: Join the PAC (illegal immigrants, laws, campaign, Mexico)

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC

From their "Mission Statement" ...

We are dedicated to fighting against illegal immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens and seek a peaceful solution to the crisis that involves Americans of every race, Party, and denomination working together.

There are enough folks here at City Data that are fed up with illegal immigration, that could join the PAC and help make progress. I plan to join it too.

There's strength in numbers!

Thanks for the info. Some here are already involved with Alipac, as well as NumbersUSA. In addition, we contact members of Congress and Obama on a regular basis. You’re right. We need as many citizens to fight this battle as possible. We have formidable opponents, with very deep pockets.

I belong to NumbersUSA too.

I would not give any money to ALIPAC. They are in North Carolina. That's a long way from the border. There are unanswered questions about their finances. And William Ghreen does not get along with any of the other anti-illegal leaders. I would give to American Border Patrol and Glen Spencer, who is right along the border. Or one of the Arizona citizen militas.

Thanks. I wasn't planning to donate to them. I only donate to groups I'm familiar with, or that have some type of known national reputation.

I just thought they might be a good organization.

I found them as I was looking for information about anti-illegal immigration lobbying groups. Didn't seem to find any though. Guess we'll need to form our own Lobby group. Hey, why not?

They’re an excellent source of info for activism, but I agree, I wouldn’t donate. That’s not to cast aspersions on Gheen or his organization; it’s just my personal philosophy. I rarely donate to any organization unless they have a very long track record.

That said, to my knowledge, no criminal charges have been filed against Alipac, so I have no reason to doubt their integrity. As expected, due to the nature of their work, they are considered another “hate” group and anti-immigrant. I have seen nothing to indicate they are anything other than a group fighting illegal immigration. In fact, they have severed ties with other individuals and groups who choose to align themselves with racists. I applaud them for that.

While Border States may be considered ground zero, illegal immigration is pervasive, and is no longer restricted to that region of our country. Thus, there are numerous organizations nationwide fighting illegal immigration. They need not be located in a border state to be legitimate or deserving of financial support.

I am a former member and I would advise not to donate to him. Mr. Gheen as noble as his cause is, is not considered to be very reputable by other crusaders in this struggle. I recall hearing somewhere that he was putting the donations into his own pockets for a political campaign.

NumbersUSA is a much better group.

Yeah, I love NumbersUSA. Dr. Roy Beck is a great guy. My Mom (in her late 60s) joined NumbersUSA -- that's how I heard about it.

I've posted about NumbersUSA in several posts here, because it seems not a lot of folks know about it. I wish Roy would run some kind of national TV ad to let folks know about the site. People all across the US are fed up with the invasion of illegal immigrants.

I have nothing against folks that come here legally. I applaud anyone that comes here and obeys our laws, and is loyal to this country.

However, the gate crashers that sneak in across the border when they think no one's watching, steal jobs from Americans, break our laws and commit crimes, suck our public services dry (food stamps, WIC, welfare, schools, hospitals) and then take their American riches back to their parasite country -- yeah, I have a HUGE problem with those kinds of people.

I have really good friends from Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Brazil, Russia, Belgium, and Africa -- so this isn't about anything to do with race. It's about people respecting our laws. Period.

You could be orange and covered in pink dots, and I couldn't care less. However, if you're orange and covered in pink dots and enter this country illegally -- I care about that. It p*$$es me off.

Skin color means squat to me anyway. I'm blind, and to me -- everyone is exactly the same.
