CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -

Retired Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) is visiting North Carolina and will speak on the issues of illegal immigration, Amnesty, and in-state tuition for illegal aliens on Tuesday April 14 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the UNC Chapel Hill Campus's Bingham Hall room 103.

"Congressman Tancredo has been one of the leading voices in America speaking out for secure borders and immigration enforcement," said William Gheen of ALIPAC who plans to attend the event. "It is significant he will speak on the issue of in-state tuition for illegals because the defeat of HB 1183 here in NC in 2005 set off a series of defeats for such legislation nationally."

William Gheen and Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) are inviting NC Lawmakers, press contacts, and concerned citizens to attend the Tancredo event which is being organized and sponsored by Youth for Western Civilization.

ALIPAC announced a national campaign to defeat in-state tuition for illegal immigrants bills in six states in March. The groups has since played a key roll in defeating this legislation in Colorado, Arkansas, and New Jersey. ALIPAC activists from across America are lobbying against a bill (HB 2939) in Oregon today.

"We want to show our support and our thanks to Tom Tancredo and Youth for Western Civilization for addressing these important issues that are of great interest to the American public," said William Gheen. "The pro immigration enforcement side is winning again and again in the states because approximately 80% of Americans favor enforcement over Amnesty."

    We already have corruption in the administration by killing E-Verify, so 300.000 plus illegal workers can get hired, along with Americans--who have a right to the limited jobs. Hope we have a few Democrats interested in jobs for the American People? Perhaps the new candidates for President Obama cabinet he selects, is not a anti-sovereignty, pro-illegal immigrant lawmaker? Let's face it, Gutierrez, Menendez, Solis, Napolitano, Clinton, Salazer, Vilsack, La Hood, Emanuel all have solid "F" regarding illegal immigration enforcement. Our old Friend Sen. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein all signed off on E-Verify that would have saved jobs for Americans, so they didn't have to be in competition with illegal labor. Now we have President Obama pondering another Amnesty, when back in 1986 the Sinpson/Mazzoli bill was made law? It was signed by Ronald Reagan and Liberal Sen.Ted Kennedy swore their would never be another AMNESTY. The Act made it illegal to knowingly hire or recruit illegal immigrants, requiring businesses to attest to their workers immigration status. The law granted amnesties to certain illegal aliens who entered the United States before January 1, 1982 and who had resided here continuously. It was mainly for the sake of 3 million agricultural workers, but once again was mired in fraud and dishonesty. It might have worked, except the next waves of illegal families started pouring through wide open border, demanding even more rights from the American people. So the question simply is? Why ANOTHER AMNESTY? It’s because previous administration intentionally never intended to enforce the laws back then or today! Kennedy certainly didn't? As usual the American people have been played for fools! Anything that smells of rigid enforcement has been killed or weakened, to clear the way for the free movement of cheap labor. Instigated by free trade entities and clandestine progress towards a North American Union, that represents a direct attack on our Constitution. The heritage Foundation has analyzed the consequences of a new AMNESTY. Which will not only give 40 million illegal immigrants, even more access to government benefits? Then afford them the right to sponsor whole families, whom will end up being another financial burden on taxpayers. Unlike the last Amnesty the people are very much informed via the Internet of the consequences, and will lay siege to every Senator or Representative. Just like E-Verify and other new enforcement laws we will try to kill any new Amnesty. We should demand use the 1986 act (IRCA), and strictly enforce its laws as it was intended?

    Boy, am I confused. They are here "ILLEGALLY!" I find any bill advocating thier rights RIDICULIOUS. WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? Our forefathers came in the right way! They have to do the same!!!! 1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments. http://tinyurl.com/zob77 2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html 3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html 4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html 5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html 9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html 10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the U.S. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html 11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border. http://tinyurl.com/t9sht 12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.' http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf 13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm 14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States.' http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. More simply put, in just over 2 years without the illegal alien stranglehold on our economy, the $700 billion bailout would be paid for, without a cent of tax of US citizens! Are we THAT stupid? on the other hand, it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, I hope you forward it to every legal resident in the country including every representative in Washington , D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

    We are a consensual society under a Constitution that provides rights, freedoms and the mechanics to create laws that we citizens live by. Citizens accept that breaking our laws results in proscribed punishments and full jails testify to the fact. An unholy alliance of lawbreaking illegal aliens, criminal employers and elected officials that look the other way are hypocrites and anarchists. They feel that they can pick and choose which laws are convenient for them to follow and willingly break those that are personally inconvenient. This breaks down our admired legal system and works against the rule of law that we depend upon for our daily safety and national security. All lawbreaking illegal aliens should be deported, all criminal employers should be jailed and elected officials that have failed to carry out their oath of office to defend the Constitution and our laws should be fired, voted out of office, impeached and perhaps charged with criminal dereliction of duty. The 1986 amnesty was a total failure. Never again!

    I have to agree with Mr. Tancredo. WE NEED ENFORCEMENT! I can't say the ILLEGAL ALIENS are completely to blame for the shape of our economy, but they are a BIG part of the problem. The ILLEGAL ALIENS send BILLIONS upon BILLIONS out of this Country every year, money we will NEVER see again. Does this help our economy? How about the BILLIONS the American taxpayers fork out for the ILLEGAL ALIEN BABIES, the schooling of them, the medical care and the list goes on, and on, and on. How about the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS paid to jail ILLEGAL ALIENS for the crimes, then the cost to deport them. Does this help our economy? Then you have these activist groups, the Catholic Church and the ACLU that want AMNESTY for these ILLEGAL ALIENS. It would be absolute suicide for this Country if AMNESTY were granted to the 20 million or so ILLEGAL ALIENS. We have more and more people out of work everyday and they want to add another 20 million to this Country? I say, "NO"! If AMNESTY were ever granted to these 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS, you can bet big money that 3 years from now, there would be ANOTHER 3-5 million ILLEGAL ALIENS demonstrating on our soil for AMNESTY. An end MUST come to this illegal immigration. The perfect tool we have so far is E-Verify. It MUST be used by ALL businesses and Government Social Services. EVERY employee must be checked! If they are illegal, they are to be dismissed! I believe it is time for all 50 States to pass a State law, like Arizona, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and a few others. It is time for these ILLEGAL ALIENS to go back to their home Country and get out of this Country. The problems they are causing will not go away until the ILLEGAL ALIENS are out of this Country. Is North Carolina ready for a State Illegal Immigration Law?
