An urgent post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ about Michele Bachmann being rated the best for America on immigration. This follows this post about immigration enforcement laws finally being enforced in Alabama. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants such as the 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso, where President Barack Obama recently bashed immigration enforcement! For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read the very interesting book shown HERE!And Remember when contacting public officials to please be firm but respectful. Any over the top messages could result in law enforcement action against you. Just let these politicians know that you are aware of what they have done and that you intend to remove them from office in the 2012 elections.
Michele Bachmann's Immigration rating
Click here for the rest of the candidates and here to contribute to Bachmann's campaign. If you care about immigration you might want to do this in September 2011 due to the fact of Florida moving its primary to January 31, 2012.
Oppose Amnesty/Legalization
■Rep. Bachmann earns an Excellent rating because her actions and statements have clearly opposed mass legalizations, have been recent and have opposed all kinds of incentives that make it easier for illegal aliens to remain in the U.S.■At the GOP Presidential debate on September 12, 2011, Rep. Bachmann said: " I think that the American way is not to give taxpayer subsidized benefits to people who have broken our laws or who are here in the United States illegally. That is not the American way. "

Bachmann's House website: "The last time our immigration laws were overhauled was in 1986, when Congress granted amnesty to almost three million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and promised increased border security in the near future. Twenty years later, the number of illegal immigrants in our country has quadrupled, with no end in sight. Rather than repeating the mistakes of our past, I believe Congress must work to secure our nation’s borders and enforce the immigration laws already in place. Once this is achieved, improvements to the current system can be considered."

The Hispanic-American community wants us to stop giving taxpayer-subsidized benefits to illegal aliens and benefits, and they want us to stop giving taxpayer-subsidized benefits to their children as well."
