Illegal Alien Raped A 4 year-old Child

From the Desk of:

5/14/2008


Scanning the headlines this morning sickened me.

        In Virginia (my home state), an illegal alien raped a 4
        year-old child.

        In Tennessee, a suspected illegal alien raped a 15 year-old
        girl just hours after his release from prison.

        Another raped and impregnated a 9 year-old girl. It has
        been widely reported that she has just given birth!

        390 illegals were arrested following a raid of a meat-
        packing plant in Postville, Iowa.

After reading these disturbing stories and seeing the lack of concern
from so many of our Congressmen on Capitol Hill, I can only conclude
they simply are not getting the message... a message demanding they
"Build the Fence as Promised!"

Over the last number of weeks, we've flooded Capitol Hill with faxes
demanding support for legislation that restores the Secure Fence Act's
original mandate (H.R. 4987) and have only seen one Congressman add
his name to the list of co-sponsors.

Not only is Washington ignoring the headlines, they
are also ignoring our pleas for construction of the fence as promised--
double-layered for 800 miles. According to Rep. Duncan Hunter only
a paltry 13 miles has been built.

Well that is about to change!


++ Action Item #1--Call your Congressman.

Here is a link for you to get the phone numbers for your congressman you need, HERE

I'm asking every member of our team to take to the phones
and call their Congressman--demanding he/she support
H.R. 4987--restoring the fence's original mandate (the
mandate that was stripped after being signed into law).

When calling, identify yourself as a member of Grassfire.org, and
reference H.R. 4987 stating clearly that you want your Congressman
to co-sponsor this bill.

Walter Jones told me that he needed 100
co-sponsors to take this important bill to the House floor. That
means we need to move 56 Congressman--a challenge, yes, but one
that I know the Grassfire team is ready to tackle!

++Action Item #2--Alert your friends

When Grassfire heads to Washington in support of this legislation,
I intend to send a very clear and impassioned message to each and
every member of Congress--a message on behalf of the girls who
were raped by illegals, the families that are torn apart because
illegal alien drunk drivers killed their loved ones, on behalf
of those affected by illegal alien crime, and those who have
lost their jobs to illegals...

Making that message all the more profound is the petitions that
I will be holding 200,000 right now, but I'm hoping with your help
we can push that number to 250,000 or more in the next week!

          Forward this message to 30-40 friends and urge
          them to join with you in demanding the fence be built
          as promised by adding their name to our petition:

P.S: As a sidebar to the raid on the meat packing plant in Iowa,
the detainees were instructed to detail their date of birth and
country of origin. One woman said she was from Guatemala, but
made it clear to authorities that she wanted to be deported to
Mexico. Why? She said it would be easier to reenter America from
Mexico than Guatemala.

Secretary Chertoff Is Riding Into The Sunset—Dragging The Fence Behind Him.

Exposing DHS's Border Fence Myth: How 302 Miles Is Actually Less Than 10.

This from Grassfire Immigration Blog.


As mentioned in yesterday’s immigration blog by Steve Elliott the Sun Sets on the Border Fence On 12/31/08. This sunset provision of the Omnibus bill H.R. 2764 declares that the Secretary of Homeland Security loses all authority to build the fence—even if he wants to.


HOW MANY LIES ARE ACTUALLY BEING TOLD TO US? DO THE PEOPLE TELLING THEM THINK THAT WE WILL NOT FIND OUT THAT THE FENCE IS NOT BUILT?

DHS's Bogus Border Fence Claims

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance

3/27/2008


Our research staff just uncovered another reason why your petition
is so vital. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is once
again inflating its numbers of the amount of border fence that
has been built. They claim over 300 miles. Reality check:
less than 10 miles of double-layer fencing has been built
since the Secure Fence Act was passed 18 months ago.

It's basically another border fence hoax. See our full report here
of how DHS inflates its numbers to claim over 300 miles of fencing:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=5626&RID=15679155

And progress has slowed to a crawl. Since last September, DHS
has only built 6 miles of pedestrian fence and 35 miles of vehicle
barriers. And their "virtual" fence test was a total failure.

So with the "sunset" clause set to go into effect in just nine
months, it is clear that DHS is doing nothing more than playing
games and juggling numbers. Even worse, DHS is counting so-called
"vehicle barriers" for half of its claimed progress. Just one
problem -- illegal aliens can walk right through the vehicle barriers!

The clock is ticking and you and I must do all we can to restore
the Secure Fence Act.

++ Please forward this message to your friends

We still are far short of our goal to rally 250,000 signers of
our "Restore The Fence Act" petition before next month's delivery
on Capitol Hill.

We need your help.

         Please forward this message to your friends
         and ask them to sign the petition to restore the
         Secure Fence Act:

President and DHS oppose the border fence

The following is from grassfire.org

"The 'virtual fence' is virtually useless," says Rep. Duncan Hunter
(R-CA).

The recent failure of the highly touted "virtual fence" (that DHS
spent more than $20 million developing) is a slap in the face to
every citizen who has been demanding control of the borders.

But DHS isn't committed to securing the borders. If they were,
they would have followed the mandates of the Secure Fence Act,
and duplicated the barrier built in San Diego.

That 14-mile fence has been extremely effective in lowering illegal
crossings and drug traffic. In fact, apprehensions have decreased
due to fewer crossings. In simple language, the double-layered
fence works.

Hunter is so incensed by the current state of border fencing--
single-layer, and virtual fencing that he’s introduced legislation
demanding that it "restores the most important elements of the
Secure Fence Act," notably 700 miles of double-layered fencing
to be constructed within six months of the bill's enactment.

H.R. 5124 is strongly supported by Grassfire, and should be
strongly supported by every citizen in the nation who is serious
about border security.

I'm thrilled that you have already added your name
to our "Build the Fence As Promised" petition. After just one
week, more than 85,000 citizens have added their name!

I'm asking all members of our team who have already taken action
with us, to do two important things:


++ Action Item #1--Contact your Congressman

After signing, please take a moment to contact your Kentucky
Representative, encouraging he/she to support the Hunter bill H.R. 5124
"Reinstate the Secure Fence Act". When calling, be sure to identify
yourself as a member of Grassfire.org.

To date, the following 16 members of Congress have added their names as
co-sponsors:

Bilbray (CA-50)           Waite-Brown (FL-5)
Coble (NC-6)              Drier (CA-26)
Franks (AZ-2)             Gingery (GA-11)
Goode (VA-5)              Graves (MO-6
Johnson (TX-3)            Marchant (TX-24)
Myrick (NC-9)             Poe (TX-2)
Rohrabacher (CA-46)       Royce (CA-40)
Saxton (NJ-5)             Sullivan (OK-1)

If your Congressman isn't on this list, please call right now,
and urge them to do so. To be quickly connected call the
Capitol Switchboard: 202-226-3121.

If your Congressman is on the above list, call them anyway and thank
them for taking a REAL stand to secure our borders!

++Action Item #2--Alert your friends

Michael in just a few short weeks, Ron De Jong and I will be on
Capitol Hill presenting your petitions to leading members of Congress
who are serious about border security, and I want to overwhelm
them with our petition. You can help us do that by forwarding
this message to 20-30 friends today!

Urge them to add their name to this important
petition calling for the fence to be built as promised
simply by clicking here:

http://www.grassfire.org/242/petition.asp?PID=15679155

The lack of commitment from the President and DHS will result in either
substandard fencing, or no fencing at all. That's why we are urging ALL
members of our team to sign our petition and take to the phones!

A true solution will only come about if the grassroots voice of
America speaks out!

Thank you for you quick response.

Steve

P.S: After signing our petition and making your call, please forward
this message to 20-30 friends and family. Encourage them to sign our
petition by clicking here:

Border Fence Funding Hoax of 2006 and 2007

As Grassfire.ore has previously reported, despite grandiose claims, our government has built just 5 miles of the the 854 miles of double-layer border fence mandated by the Secure Fence Act of 2006. (Go here for that report.) While this fact is outrageous in and of itself, it begs a question:Why?

If the law mandated a double layer fence covering 854 miles of fencing, then how come such little progress has been made?

That's because of another amendment put forward by Sen. Hutchison that said DHS would not have to build the fence. This Amendment (SA 3176) seems, at first glance, to support building a fence. It is entitied "Improvement of Barrier At Border" and states in Subparagraph A:

"(A) REINFORCED FENCING.--In carrying out subsection (a), the Secretary of Homeland Security shall construct reinforced fencing along not less than 700 miles of the southwest border where fencing would be most practical and effective and provide for the installation of additional physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors to gain operational control of the southwest border."

Note the phrase "where fencing would be most practical and effective." Basically, DHS has an opt-out clause built in. But it gets worse. Page Two of the Hutchison amendment then states:

"(D) LIMITATION ON REQUIREMENTS.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), nothing in this paragraph shall require the Secretary of Homeland Security to install fencing, physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors in a particular location along an international border of the United States, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control over the international border at such location"

Just in case Subparagraph A was not clear enough, Hutchison added Subparagraph D to leave no room for doubt that this amendment is intended to make sure DHS is under no legal obligation to ever build any fence, never mind the 854 miles of double-layer fencing mandated by the Secure Fence Act of 2006. "Notwithstanding" means "in spite of." Thus, Subparagraph D says that in spite of anything stated in Subparagraph A, DHS is under no mandate to build the fence.

In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's sovereign or nation. A person who commits treason is known as a traitor.

This is exactly what I think that some or most in Congress are doing. Possibly even higher up than that. These elected officials are lying to us and doing whatever they want for personal gain. Such as keeping their jobs. They continue to tell us what we want to hear then they do what they want to do regardless.

If you would like to get involved in this and send them your thoughts and disgust on this border fence go HERE.

This is also like the presidential debates going on. They want to be sure to tell everyone what they want to hear regardless of what they can actually do.
