Saving America from the illegal immigration occupation, you have to act now? You, as a citizen taxpayer have got to decide your children's future and your grand children's? If you want to end the silent amnesties, the Dream Acts, the 1.5 million low-skilled technical skilled labor imported yearly, the instant citizenship for babies of illegal aliens and the chain migration that ultimately follows, you must show what side of the financial aisle you are on? Everybody who is adamantly opposed to the illegal immigration invasion and the hundreds of billions of dollars that is taken annually from your payroll check must become more vocal. To eradicate the support every entitlement program, the free emergency hospital care and the unethical use of your money to school hundreds of thousands of illegal alien children that is overcrowding our schools nationwide. Demand from your Senators and Representatives to do their jobs, they are being paid to do? Insist your elected officials promoting the interests of every citizen and legal resident in our nation and not the 20 million plus of intruders.

IT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE REAL DOUBLE WALL IS BUILT, AS ELECTRIFIED FENCING, UNTIL SUBSTANTIAL FEDERAL TROOPS ARE STATIONED ALONG THE BORDER, UNTIL ENOUGH MANPOWER IS ALLOCATED TO VERIFY THAT VISA OVER STAYERS HAVE GONE HOME, UNTIL ILLEGAL ENTRY IS MADE A FELONY, UNTIL THE E-VERIFY SYSTEM OF VERIFYING WHO CAN WORK IS MADE PERMANENT & BUSINESSES THAT ADAMANTLY IGNORE THIS LAW ARE HEAVILY FINED, LOSE BUSINESS ASSETS AND ARE IMPRISONED.
The Occupation by foreigners will never stop and the costs to subsidize the illegal newcomers will skyrocket to unheard of amounts of your extorted taxes.
