Catholic Bishops Oppose E-Verify Effort to Ensure Immigrants are Legal

Catholic Bishops Oppose E-Verify Effort to Ensure Immigrants are Legal...American Catholic bishops, equating socialism with true Christian charity, have long been allies of the radical Left in its plans to socialize the American economy. Now they wish to alter the demographic landscape of the U.S. with unfettered immigration, and are encouraging Catholics to help undermine the effort to ensure that foreign workers are legally employed in the U.S. The "Justice For Immigrants" campaign of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has taken the reconquista lobby’s position against a bill that would require all American employers to use the federal "E-Verify" program to validate the status of immigrants who apply for jobs.

US sued by 22,000 would-be immigrants...A lawsuit has been filed against the State Department alleging it unfairly denied 22,000 would-be legal immigrants the right to permanent residency in the U.S. White and Associates said it filed the lawsuit in the District Court for the District of Colombia charging the State Department committed a "blunder" in holding a lottery granting them the permanent resident "green card."

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tells CFR - Immigration Restriction is National Suicide

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tells CFR - Immigration Restriction is National Suicide...“We will not remain a global superpower if we continue to close our doors to people who want to come here to work hard, start businesses, and pursue the American dream,” Bloomberg said. (Is this man aware of the unemployed Americans? Is this man aware of the college graduates who cannot get a job? Is this man aware that there aren't any jobs? Is this man aware that illegals that are here are holding American jobs and even if illegals receive amnesty, THERE ARE NO JOBS for all of them...that includes bringing in more and more legal immigrants and foreign workers who will compete with Americans for the jobs WE DON'T HAVE.....

Young American College Grads Need Break From Immigration Competition (keep only the truly extraordinary) A new Brookings report brags about all the college graduates that our immigration policy is adding into the U.S. worker pool, but the latest unemployment statistics show nothing but bad news for our own American college graduates.

The immigration issue continues to add 3.1 million people to this country every year

The immigration issue continues to add 3.1 million people to this country every year...Americans, much like sheep, watch it continue—without saying a stinking word. By the time it becomes uncontrollable, we will have lost our national language, culture or way of life. And, we won’t get it back! This “immigration thing” will get SO ugly in another 10-20 years, we will not be able to maintain America. And yet, like sheep, most Americans watch their country degrade, decline and devolve. It is quite sickening to see it because I have seen the end result in my world travels. Once we hit Third World rock bottom, “up” will not be an option. We will devolve into another third world country.

Sarah Palin knocks DREAM Act on way to Ellis Island

Sarah Palin knocks DREAM Act on way to Ellis Island... she drew the line at supporting the DREAM Act, which would create a path to citizenship for some children who were illegally brought to the USA if they get an education or serve in the military. “The immigrants of the past, they had to literally and figuratively stand in line to become U.S. citizens. I’d like to see that continue,” Palin said, “And unfortunately, the DREAM Act kind of usurps that.”
