Seventeen states follow Arizona
One of America’s national organizations fighting against illegal immigration is announcing 17 states are now filing versions of Arizona’s SB 1070 law, which is designed to help local police enforce America’s existing immigration laws.
Numerous national and local polls indicated that 60 to 81 percent of Americans support local police enforcing immigration laws.
“Our national network of activists have been working overtime trying to help the state of Arizona and the brave Arizonans who have passed this bill,” William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), said. “Arizona no longer stands alone and we have now documented state lawmakers filing or announcing they will file, versions of the Arizona bill in 17 states. We will not stop until all states are protected from invasion as required by the US Constitution.”
Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Utah are following Arizona’s lead in response to citizen pressure.
ALIPAC has helped to pass some form of immigration enforcement legislation in over 30 states, while the group has also gained a national reputation for defeating legislation designed to give licenses, in-state tuition and other taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens in 20 states.
ALIPAC’s President William Gheen, is a former campaign consultant, legislative assistant, state lobbyist and assistant sergeant-at-arms staffer in North Carolina who has turned his local experiences into a political battle plan by driving the national operations of ALIPAC.
“The federal government has been hijacked by special interests that are neglectful of their duties and even hostile toward the rightful citizens of America,” he said. “It is incumbent upon our states to protect American lives, property, jobs, wages, security and health when the Executive Branch fails to honor its constitutional responsibility to do so by enforcing our existing border and immigration laws.”
ALIPAC lobbied state lawmakers and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to pass SB 1070, which strictly prohibits racial profiling while empowering local police officers to enforce immigration laws.
ALIPAC’s activists have been working for almost four weeks now to encourage state lawmakers across the nation to file versions of SB 1070, to help alleviate boycotts and other political antagonism toward Arizona. Citizen activist are being asked to call, e-mail, visit or fax their state lawmakers to encourage them to support existing SB 1070 type bills or to file them as soon as possible.
