What's up with I.C.E.?

They gave themselves a nice, new name. I.C.E. (Immigration & Customs Enforcement).
Sounds cool. Sounds tough. But it's the same old song and dance, my friends. They have a new website, too. But it still says all the wrong things. Click on their Worksite enforcement page and you will see what I mean.

Their focus is limited to two areas. The first, Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Investigations, is their effort to prevent terrorists from infiltrating into our country and getting jobs in, for instance, nuclear plants. Makes sense. And they are making progress. Just a couple of weeks ago, we learned that there are not as many illegal aliens being employed in military bases!!

Their second focus is going after employers who are violating the civil rights of the illegal aliens they hire. Somebody ought to be going after employers who abuse their employees, but maybe it should be the Labor Department or the Office of Civil Rights. Because ICE is supposed to be about enforcement of immigration laws ... and nothing else.

But it seems that enforcement is the last thing they pay any attention to. Where, on their webste, is the Hotline number where citizens call to report ordinary businesses that fired their American workers and hired illegal aliens? There isn't one. And that says it all.

Washington still doesn't get it. Senators like Ted Kennedy, Arlen Spector and John McCain can't wait to re-introduce their amnesty bill. And President Bush can't wait to create a North American Union and get rid of our borders (and our sovereignty) altogether.

Stand and fight. We stopped them before and we an do it again. Go to www.usbc.org and join the battle to save our language, culture and American way of life for future generations. Thank you.
