NUMBERSUSA.com - OPPOSE HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGALS

Oppose Government Health Care for Illegal Aliens


http://www.numbersusa.com/dfax?series=nmban08SEP09

Dear [THIS FAX WILL GO TO YOUR 3 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS]

When President Obama speaks to the Congress on Wednesday night about health care reform I expect you to listen carefully to his remarks regarding health care for illegal aliens.

I'm afraid the President does not understand the ramifications of a health care bill without verification provisions: unless the proposed health care bill includes a provision like the Deal Amendment to require verification of legal status, illegal aliens will be able to receive health care coverage. Not only is it unfair to hardworking and financially-strapped Americans to have to cover the cost of health care for illegal aliens, but also it is yet another incentive for more illegal immigration. Even though the bill may not explicitly state that illegal aliens are covered, the absence of language like the Deal amendment creates a de facto amnesty in which they can receive benefits.

I, along with a majority of American taxpayers, oppose making illegal aliens eligible for taxpayer-funded health insurance. Please support a verification amendment to the health care bill.

Sincerely, [YOUR NAME WILL APPEAR HERE]

For federal contractors, it's time to start checking whether employees are able to legally work in the United States.

Beginning Tuesday, the federal government is requiring federal contractors to use the E-Verify system to check the immigration and citizenship status of the people they hire and assign to new federal contracts.

"Don't panic about this. You do have time, but the time will pass quickly, so vigilance is important," Bonnie Gibson, a partner with New York-based Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy law firm, told hundreds of contractors who dialed in to a conference call last week for an explanation of the Obama administration's latest immigration enforcement rule.

Contractors have 30 days from the date a contract is awarded to enroll in E-Verify, and 90 days to start submitting information on new hires and certain current workers. Contractors have the option of checking their entire work force, once they notify the government of their intent to do so. They also will be responsible for requiring subcontractors to use E-Verify.

As the rule takes effect and more workers' information goes through the system, there is likely to be a spike in the number of workers who are not confirmed as permitted to work in the U.S., said Cynthia Lange, a partner of Fragomen law firm, who is based in California.

Employers already use a paper application, known as I-9, to check workers' legal status. E-Verify is a Web-based system that cross-checks names and other information against Homeland Security Department and Social Security Administration databases.

E-Verify is intended to help find people who are in the country illegally, and those who are legally present but not authorized to work, such as students.

Generally, the new federal rule applies to hires for contracts of $100,000 or more that are awarded as of Sept. 8, last longer than 120 days and don't involve commercially available products. There will be some exceptions. Businesses with contracts that are current, significant and indefinite also may have to check the status of workers.

Bill Wright, spokesman for the Homeland Security Department's Citizenship and Immigration Services, said the agency isn't expecting to be flooded with queries on employees' immigration status. He said there are about 169,000 U.S. federal contractors with about 3.8 million workers.

As of Aug. 29, 145,653 employers were using the E-Verify system. About 1,000 employers a week enroll. The system has handled 7.6 million queries on workers since Oct. 1 of last year, Wright said.

"If all contracts were let and we had to verify them all on Sept. 8, this system could handle it. This is not going to be the scenario, so there is no reason to step up resources here," he said.

Among the E-Verify system's flaws _ limited ability to determine if someone is using a stolen identity and it makes mistakes, such as with names and marital status.

WELFARE FOR MEXICO - $214 million and growing!

The 38 million Mexican illegals in this country send back to Mexico tens of billions in remittances. Next to oil, it is the largest stream of revenue for that corrupt country. The Mexican drug cartel, launders through American banks, such as La Raza donors WELLS FARGO and BANK of AMERICA another $50 billion.

Obama claims he's gone hog-wild spending $30 million to defend our undefended border with Mexico, while he hands another $214 million to the oligarch in Mexico City, all of whom have nice fat Swiss bank accounts for just such funds.

JUST AS MEXICO IS LOSING THE WAR AGAINST THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LOSING THE WAR AGAINST THE WALL STREET CARTEL THAT DEMANDS WAGES EVER DEPRESSED WITH EVER MORE "CHEAP" LABOR ILLEGALS.

"CHEAP" LABOR ILLEGALS DEPRESS WAGES $200 - $300 PER YEAR, WHILE SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS, OVERWHELMINGLY MEXICAN, HOVER AROUND $350 BILLION.

IS IT TIME WE FIGHT WALL STREET AND MEXICO FOR OUR COUNTRY?




U.S. anti-drug aid to Mexico reaches $214 million

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The United States has written checks for $214 million of the $1.4 billion promised to Mexico in 2007 to help fight the country's powerful drug cartels, Washington's top anti-drug diplomat said on Tuesday.

The amount is a fraction of $1.12 billion authorized by the U.S. Congress since 2008, of which $700 million was part of funds promised under the 2007 Merida Initiative.

The money is intended to pay for equipment and training for Mexican security forces battling the violent drug gangs that send some $40 billion worth of illegal drugs into the United States every year.

A supplemental spending bill signed into law in June included an additional $420 million in aid for Mexico.

"We've had some deliveries during the summer of some of the non-intrusive detection equipment that is really at the heart of the material part of this (plan) which provides the sort of technology that is needed so that commerce can be inspected rapidly," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State David Johnson said at a briefing for journalists at the U.S. embassy in Mexico City.

The United States is also helping Mexican police set up internal affairs units to root out corrupt officers and improve recruiting procedures.

Johnson said five Bell helicopters built by Textron Inc worth $50 million are due to be delivered in the fall to the Mexican army.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has staked his legacy on confronting and crushing the drug cartels that are at the heart of a drug war that has killed more than 13,000 people in the last three years.

The government has poured more than $7 billion into the fight, which has yielded large seizures of drugs and cash but few arrests of top crime lords.

Separately the U.S. and Mexican governments announced an agreement to improve law enforcement communications and the creation of cross-border voice and data transmission networks for police.

MONTERREY, Mexico -- Mexico's interior secretary says escalating violence along the U.S. border is a reaction to the country's crackdown on organized crime.

The border region is plagued by violence as drug cartels fight turf wars over valuable smuggling routes, including the killing of 17 people Wednesday at a Ciudad Juarez rehab center.

Interior Secretary Fernando Gomez Mont is among U.S. and Mexican officials attending a cross-border summit on border security, economic development and health issues.

All six Mexican border governors and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual are scheduled to attend the meeting, which began Thursday.

Three U.S. governors were absent, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who stayed home to cope with wildfires.

Mexico Nabs Suspected Killer of 17 Rehab Patients

Saturday, September 5, 2009 4:36 PM



MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Troops captured the suspected killer of 17 patients at a rehabilitation clinic in northern Mexico, one of the deadliest attacks in President Felipe Calderon's three-year war against drug cartels, local media said on Saturday.

The suspect, Jose Rodolfo Escajeda, is considered one of the bloodiest hitmen in the crime-ridden state of Chihuahua and a leader of the powerful Juarez Cartel. He is on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's most-wanted list for marijuana and cocaine smuggling into the United States.

About a dozen hooded men burst into a clinic in the violence-plagued industrial city of Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday, lined up patients and killed 17 of them.

Turf wars and targeted attacks by drug trafficking gangs have killed more than 13,000 people across Mexico since Calderon took power in late 2006 and launched his drug war, a level of violence that has alarmed Washington and unnerved both tourists and investors.

Drug gangs have targeted rehab centers in the past, accusing them of protecting dealers from rival groups.

Escajeda is also believed to be behind the killing earlier this year of two American members of a Mormon community in northern Mexico who were brutally murdered for denouncing cartel kidnappings, Mexico City's Daily Excelsior newspaper reported on its website.

Benjamin LeBaron, a breakaway Mormon leader and anti-crime activist, was abducted from his house and killed by around 20 gunmen in revenge for helping track and arrest a group of drug gang members. His brother-in-law was also killed in the July attack.

Calderon has deployed thousands of troops and federal police against drug cartels across the country but drug killings are at record levels. Some 10,000 soldiers patrol Ciudad Juarez alone, but crime remains out of control.

Calderón Draws Fire Over Nominee for Attorney General

By William Booth
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, September 9, 2009



MEXICO CITY, Sept. 8 -- President Felipe Calderón plans to replace one of Mexico's top officials in the war on drugs with a controversial former prosecutor who critics say did little during his years in office to solve the killings of hundreds of women in Ciudad Juarez during the 1990s.

Calderón nominated Arturo Chávez to serve as the nation's attorney general, but opponents denounced the move. They said that when Chávez served as prosecutor in the border state of Chihuahua, he was accused of bungling cases and failing to make significant arrests in the string of gruesome killings of women that continue to garner international attention.

"I consider him one of the most incompetent choices," said Jaime Hervella, a human rights advocate in Ciudad Juarez.

Esther Chávez Cano, founder of a rape crisis center in Juarez and a leading voice for the hundreds of women who were killed or went missing, told El Norte newspaper, "This is bad news; it doesn't take us anywhere, it's not the solution to the problem." She questioned why Calderón would pick someone who had failed in Juarez before to now confront the surging drug violence there.

More than 1,500 people have been killed in Ciudad Juarez this year, as cartel members and local drug gangs fight for control of street corners and lucrative smuggling routes into the billion-dollar U.S. market. With Juarez's homicide rate reaching 130 killings per 100,000 residents, Mexico's Citizens' Council for Public Security and Justice recently named it the most violent city in the world. A week ago, 18 recovering drug addicts were lined up against a wall and executed at a treatment center.

Chávez's nomination needs the approval of the Mexican Senate; Calderón's National Action Party lost control of the chamber in this summer's midterm elections. In his announcement, Calderón praised Chávez's "wide experience in law and specifically in combating organized crime."

With Calderón's fight against the drug cartels raging across Mexico, the resignation of Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora on Monday signals a shake-up in the crime-fighting leadership of the cabinet.

Medina Mora was viewed as a close ally by Washington and, with his custom-made suits and fluent English, served as Mexico's public face in the evolving partnership between the Obama and Calderón governments. U.S. diplomats heaped praise on Medina Mora, saying he helped foster greater cooperation between Washington and Mexico City.

The relationship between Mexican and U.S. law enforcement agencies is undergoing profound change, with $1.4 billion in aid flowing to Mexico and U.S. agents and advisers helping Mexico to confront endemic corruption and reform its police, judiciary and intelligence-gathering.

But there have been continued setbacks. One member of Medina Mora's inner circle, Noé Ramírez Mandujano, who led organized-crime investigations, was arrested last year and charged with peddling sensitive information to the Sinaloa cartel for $450,000.

In Arizona on Friday, a former top supervisor for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was arrested and charged with passing classified information to an unnamed Mexican drug cartel. Richard Padilla Cramer was the ICE resident agent in charge at the Nogales port of entry in Arizona until 2004, when he took up duties as the ICE attache in Guadalajara until retirement in 2007.

According to the criminal complaint, Cramer used his position to search government databases to find out whether any members of the cartel were federal informants. If found out, such informants are usually executed or their family members kidnapped. Cramer is also charged with personally investing in a plot to smuggle 300 kilograms of cocaine from Panama to Spain.
