Dear Friend of Border Control:
Pres. Obama has tasked the Attorney General to sue Arizona over its new immigration law, SB1070.
Embarassed that states have begun to take up the work that the feds have refused to do, they are looking to quickly get an injunction before Arizona's law is duplicated by more states eager to stem the tide of illegal immigration.
Old civil rights activists seeking headlines, have promised to turn this straightforward law and order issue into some kind of civil rights circus, claiming racial profiling, etc... One has already promised to bring thousands of activists into the state for demonstrations, marches, etc...
Few in Washington seem aware of the real life-threatening crisis that Arizoneans endure every single day.
The Obama Administration will try to spin the Arizona struggle as proof that we need to pass amnesty immediately. Our job is to let him and every Congressman and Senator know that we've seen this act before and we are not buying it. What Arizonans and, indeed, all Americans want is for our government to seal our borders to drugs, disease, illegal immigration and terrorism.
If you want to stand up for Arizona and the rule of law in the United States, click here to send a free email to your Congressman, your U.S. Senators; and President Obama expressing your outrage.
Getting the Feds to drop their suit against Arizona will depend upon how willing you and millions of other Americans are to become activists. Activism doesn't necessarily mean dressing up like Rambo and marching in the streets. It can be as simple as signing petitions, sending postcards and emails to your Representative and Senators or participating in the dialogue, using your favorite social media (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc...)
The more you do, the better our chances. And the time to start is now!
Thanks again for your support for our work.
Sincerely,
Edward I. Nelson
Chairman
U.S. Border Control
