New database IDs high-profile amnesty supporters

Names of politicians, CEOs, nonprofits compiled in massive directory

The “Gang of Eight” immigration team led by Sen. John McCain, at the podium, all made ALIPAC’s all-star list of amnesty supporters.

An activist organization devoted to stamping out illegal immigration has started building a database of corporations, politicians and nonprofits that it says support amnesty and open borders.

“We’ve been opposing amnesty supporters for a long time, but we have not had all of their names on the same list put in a central location on one website,” said William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, or ALIPAC. He called it a “monumental undertaking” to get all incumbents and their challengers loaded into the database before the Nov. 4 midterm election.

“Right now we’re working overtime on it,” he said.

Gheen said nearly every Democrat incumbent in Congress will end up on the list, as will many Republicans. Names like Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., and Mitt Romney, which made up the Republican ticket in the last presidential election in 2012, will be added to the list. So will Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who ran atop the ticket in the 2008 presidential election.

Rand Paul deemed pro-amnesty by ALIPAC

There are some surprises on the list already.

Names like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., for instance, might make some conservatives cringe.

While Paul voted against Senate Bill 744 last year, which would have granted a form of amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, “and supports a lot of conservative causes,” he still gets poor marks from ALIPAC. The decision was based on “several comments” Paul has made over the past year and a half, Gheen said.


Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted against amnesty in 2013 but has made comments that make him unreliable in the eyes of ALIPAC

“Senate Bill 744, that’s our main criteria. That bill passed the Senate 68-32 with help from 14 Republicans including John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio,” Gheen said. “That’s what ALIPAC has been all about for the last two years is trying to stop that bill from reaching President Obama’s desk. Rand Paul voted against the bill, but we’re adding him to the list because he has made numerous pro-amnesty comments.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., also voted against SB 744, but ALIPAC believes he worked behind the scenes to marshal votes for the bill, “then turned around and voted against it himself because he’s from a conservative state in Kentucky,” Gheen said. “All these Republicans in conservative states or conservative districts who support amnesty have to be crafty, very crafty.”

Gheen said Paul has “hurt himself terribly” with conservative voters on the immigration issue.

“He fully deserves to be on the amnesty list,” he said. “There’s going to be a lot of people see names on this list that they don’t want to believe belong on this list, and that should not be surprising because, while the overall approval rating of Congress is very low, people still tend to like their own representative in Congress.”

Many pro-amnesty Republicans have scrubbed their websites of any signs of their record on this issue, Gheen said, and some are even running ads touting themselves as against illegal immigration. That’s because polls show illegal immigration promises to be a key issue among a strong majority of likely voters in November.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who like Paul has expressed interest in running for president in 2016, voted in favor of SB 744 but has been talking lately as though he is against amnesty.

“He’s out there right now quoting my lines. He was on Sean Hannity’s show a couple of weeks ago and my lines are suddenly on the lips of Marco Rubio,” Gheen said.

ALIPAC’s amnesty list will continue to be upgraded with additions as more information becomes available on candidates. The group is asking for feedback on not only incumbents but all candidates in the November election.

“It’s only 30 days before the election, and it’s important we get the word out that the world’s most definitive amnesty list is under construction and we are working to build that list up to get it as comprehensive as possible by Election Day,” Gheen said.

“So we want people to contact us with their feedback on this because people in the states and localities know who is who and what they stand for. We know a lot, but nothing beats grassroots knowledge.”

Corporate CEOs who support amnesty

The list will also include household names from corporate America.

Names like Miller Brewing Co., Bank of America, Dunkin’ Donuts and Absolut Vodka will all be labeled supporters of amnesty, according to ALIPAC.

“I’m going to add the first major businesses with Miller Brewing and Bank of America,” Gheen said.

Miller makes the list because it funded pro-amnesty immigration groups in Chicago while Bank of America offers credit cards to illegals, he said.

Meanwhile, Dunkin’ Donuts CEO Nigel Travis said Monday in an interview with Fox News that all illegal aliens in the U.S. should be legalized.

Travis said amnesty would “allow people to work who want to work but can’t” and that this would “stimulate the economy.”

Absolut Vodka drew the ire of ALIPAC and other anti-illegal immigration groups in 2008 when it ran ads in a Mexican magazine and on billboards showing the southwestern United States as part of Mexico. The vodka maker later apologized for the ad campaign, but an active boycott still exists against the company.


Absolut Vodka ran this ad in a Mexican magazine last year, then pulled it and apologized after a fury of complaints. A boycott still exists against the company.

Gheen said some “old-school names” will be added to the list, including former Arkansas Gov. and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who now serves as a Fox News commentator.

And it won’t take much to get on the list. Even if a candidate has a solid voting record, such as Paul, one comment that is made in favor of granting leniency to illegal aliens will be enough to land him on the list permanently, Gheen said.

“Once you go on the list, you’re always going to be on the list. You don’t get any second chances,” Gheen said. “Once we put you on that list, we are going to do everything in our power to make sure you are never elected or re-elected.”

He added, “Our plan is to make this the most comprehensive amnesty list in the country, so that when loved ones get the bad news that someone’s been killed by an illegal immigrant, or they lose a job, or lose their home, or maybe they lose a local school or hospital resource, they will know who to blame.”

Gheen said illegal immigration has a negative impact on the lives of Americans in many ways.

“In a high illegal-immigrant impact area, your local hospital may not be able to provide fast and adequate service to you if their ER services are overburdened by illegals,” he said. “Local schools have trouble educating your kids because of gangs, bilingualism and [because of] school capacity issues that are strained by illegal immigration.

“A lot of border-state hospitals have closed in recent years, driven by the high cost of providing indigent care to illegals.”

As far as nonprofit organizations, Gheen said the Southern Poverty Law Center, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Council of La Raza will be among the first to make the list.

“This is our America hate group list. It’s an America-hating group,” Gheen said. “That’s why the Southern Poverty Law Center will eventually be listed, as well as La Raza.”

Gheen said ALIPAC’s ultimate goal is to create two lists. One with amnesty supporters in business, politics and the nonprofit world and a second showing the victims of illegal immigration.

“We hope if we receive enough support that this list will be married to another list that will be for all those Americans that have lost their lives due to illegal immigration. It will be an online monument to the massive atrocities that have been committed against our citizens by this betrayal,” he said. “We’re now looking at a situation in which tens of thousands of Americans have been killed by this plan that has been furthered by the likes of Marco Rubio, George Bush, Jeb Bush, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, the Chamber of Commerce and the list goes on. The blood from these victims of the illegal immigration invasion cries from the ground, and we hope to see the American people correcting the injustice.”

Gheen said ALIPAC does not have actual numbers of Americans killed due to the non-enforcement policies of the federal government, but he believes they are in the thousands.

“It’s through murders, drunken-driving deaths, deaths by diseases that have come in through unscreened illegal immigrants, including the Mexican flu,” he said. “These open-borders traitors have opened America and Americans up to every unwanted thing around the globe. We’re wide open to it. The defenses of the United States are down. There’s a host of motivations. Whether it’s corporate greed or liberal socialists with a political agenda, and some see it as a way to destroy the U.S. and lead to the eventual displacement of our citizens.”
