Hello everyone. Here are some updates about illegal immigration in Arkansas.
HB1024 passed the Arkansas Senate! The vote was 25-3 with 7 not voting. The bill will now go before the Committee on PUBLIC HEALTH, WELFARE AND LABOR COMMITTEE in the AR House. It is not on any agenda so far.
HR1003 still has guest worker language in it and shows up on agendas. It’s low on the list and hasn’t been debated on since it was pulled down by its sponsor Rep Medley. If we could pressure Medley to remove the guest worker language, HR1003 would be a good resolution.
Nothing new about the Mexican Consulate. We've already seen the damage 1 Consulate can do in watching the case involving the 2 border patrol agents arrested for shooting a drug dealer. It was a Mexican Consulate that urged the US government to pursue the agents. What damage will the Consulate in Little Rock do?

Joyce Mucci, the Southern Field Representative of the Federation of American Immigration Reform is interested in visiting Little Rock to help us deal with illegal immigration!
She will be able to visit for a few days so we will need to maximize her time here. She will need at least 10 people to show up for at least 1 event. She would prefer to come about 3 weeks from now to save on airfare, but that may change according to when the legislative session ends. Probably the best time for her to come would be Saturday-Monday. We could have a lunch/meeting, followed by a rally, then some lobbying (if the session is still going on). Let me know if you would be interested in attending a meeting with Mucci ASAP and when would be your best time so that we can plan on what events to have while she is here.

YOU PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE. I DON'T MEAN THAT IMMIGRATION ISN'T AN IMPORTANT ISSUE, BUT WE HAVE SOLDIERS DYING EVERYDAY IN IRAQ.....AND FOR WHAT? CAUSE GEORGE BUSH WANTED TO GET SADAM FOR THREATENING HIS DAD!!! GIVE ME A BREAK! I CAN FIND OTHER MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN MEXICANS TO GRIP ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT TO. :-)
So you want us to lose the war in Iraq and lose this country to illegals as well?
We've killed thousands of terrorist in Iraq. Saddam did have a WMD program that was moved to Sryia and Libya. He was also financing terrorism in Israel. Al Queda was already in Iraq long before we arrived. What would you have done, shoot some cruise missles at some empty tents like Clinton did after the USS Cole Bombing?
This isn't about Mexicans, this is about illegal immigration. Like the illegal immigrants who attacked us on 9/11 or, like Jose Padilla who wanted to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge or like John Lee Malvo who was an illegal immigrant from Jamacia and became the DC sniper, or like the illegal in the story above.
The Mexican "government" happens to be the biggest culprit of illegal immigration. Many Americans, including those of Mexican descent, are sick of Mexico's encouraging of illegal immigration.
Also, we don't gripe, we're working to actually fix the problem.
