URGENT ACTION ALERT & HEARINGS FOR WEEK OF MARCH 14‏

An urgent post from http://www.ircot.com/ about immigration bills in Texas. This follows this post about an amnesty attempt in Utah and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here.

URGENT ACTION ALERT & HEARINGS FOR WEEK OF MARCH 14‏


This is an opportunity to support a patriot and a champion of border security for Texas - Rep. Leo Berman of Tyler, Texas. The bill would assess an 8% fee on money transfers going to certain destinations outside the US. All proceeds are to be deposited into the newly created Indigent health care support account operated by the Health and Human Services Commission for payment of indigent health services. It is estimated this would easily surpass the initial estimate of $480 Million dollars the first year.
