A North Carolina based national organization that supports the
enforcement of America's existing immigration laws sent out a call for
justice for both immigrants and illegal aliens today and decried the
anti-immigrant language being used at a press conference held in Durham
by pro Amnesty religious leaders.
"We want justice for immigrants and illegal aliens alike," said
William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC). "Justice
for illegal aliens means they should face the consequences of violating
our "current laws and be deported back to their home nations. Justice
for immigrants means you are not all being falsely labeled as
lawbreakers by politician priests."
While the pro Amnesty religious leaders and supporting groups
continue to insult legal immigrants and engage in anti-immigrant
language by forcing an association between immigrants and illegals,
ALIPAC called for justice for immigrants as well.
"We are pro immigrant, pro enforcement, and supported by legal
immigrants," said William Gheen. "These religious leaders turned
political showmen should stop insulting legal immigrants by smearing
them as illegal aliens that intentionally many US Laws. Labeling
illegal aliens as immigrants' is defamatory, derogatory, and as bigoted
as labeling shop lifters as 'African American' or alcoholics as
'Methodists'. These religious leaders should stop engaging in this kind
of anti-immigrant language and displays of bigotry."
Today's political display of religious leaders in support of the
suspension or changing of our current laws to deprive American citizens
of applied justice for illegal aliens is being arranged by the "North
Carolina Religious Coalition for Justice for Immigrants". Speakers
include Rev. William Barber, who is president of the North Carolina
chapter of the NAACP, Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Catholic Diocese
of Raleigh; Iman Oliver Muhammad of the As Salaam Islamic Center of
Raleigh; the Rev. Cookie Santiago of the N.C. Conference of the United
Methodist Church; and Rabbi Eric Solomon of Beth Meyer Synagogue in
Raleigh.
