Some of ALIPAC's Accomplishments in 2008

We would like to thank each person who contributed volunteer time and funds to make these efforts possible in 2008!



-- ALIPAC continues to build and maintain the largest archive of information about illegal immigration in existence. We have set new web traffic records, with 53 million pages of information and opinion about illegal immigration viewed in 2008. This exceeds our prior record of 34 million in 2007. In our four years of service to this cause, we have provided over 118 million pages of information to readers on this issue. We now manage 12 websites that reach out to and assist Americans who share our views.

-- Helped circulate and pass state legislation, which resulted in hundreds of new enforcement measures enacted on the state level. Special efforts to help pass new state laws that cracked down on illegal aliens in Utah, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Missouri.

-- Researched, endorsed, and supported over 170 campaigns for US Congress and Senate that supported enforcement over amnesty during a very difficult election cycle. Voter recommendations made for all 50 states and were viewed over 16,000 times online, while being reinforced with targeted contributions, as well as TV and Radio ads.

-- Informed Presidential Primary voters which candidates were for or against Amnesty for illegal aliens

-- Successfully lobbied California Governor Arnold Swarzenegger to veto state legislation that would have provided licenses and taxpayer funding for college for illegal aliens.

-- Lobbied for and successfully defended a new North Carolina policy barring illegal aliens from state funded community colleges.

-- ALIPAC helped circulate and implement the 287(g) program in numerous local law enforcement jurisdictions across the nation to protect American lives from illegal aliens arrested for crimes by local police.

-- ALIPAC played a lead role in a successful campaign to stop New York Governor Eliot Spitzer from offering driver licenses to illegal aliens.

-- ALIPAC helped to defeat pro-illegal alien ballot measures in Florida (Amend. 1) and Arizona (Prop 202).

-- Supported, promoted, and arranged viewing of the documentary movie "Border" by Chris Burgard, including two theater showings.

-- Informed tens of thousands of American with videos of the MS-13 gang defacement of American war veteran memorials.

-- Helped stop taxpayer stimulus checks from going to illegal aliens as originally planned by Congress.

-- ALIPAC made strong and commendable efforts, but fell short of passing immigration enforcement laws in North Carolina, Florida, and Indiana in 2008.

-- Helped lobby for the successful effort to stop illegal aliens from receiving driver licenses in Oregon, Maine, and Michigan.

-- Supported and reinforced Governor Carcieri's crackdown on illegal immigration in Rhode Island.

-- Led over 100 allied organizations into a new boycott against the Absolut Vodka Corporation for their offensive ad in Mexico showing the Southwest returned to Mexican control via www.boycottabsolut.com

-- Successfully lobbied to defeat the AgJOBS Amnesty language and the visa expansion language, which was inserted into a defense spending bill in May 2008.

-- Launched a new weekly radio show called "Last Americans Standing" to reach out to more Americans with important information and activism tips through talk radio stations and the Internet.

-- ALIPAC was one of the first organizations in America to alert supporters that illegal immigration was reversing in certain parts of the country. Our findings from our archived media reports were later confirmed by the Center for Immigration Studies and Pew Hispanic Center that agree illegal immigration is starting to reverse due to the bad economy and increased enforcement.

-- Defended the free speech of groups like ALIPAC, NumbersUSA as well as talk radio show hosts and commentators like Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck from attempts to silence debate launched by the SPLC, ADL, George Soros's Media Matters, and the National Council of La Raza (The Race)

-- ALIPAC's President, William Gheen, appeared on hundreds of talk radio shows, as well as on CNN, FOX, and CBS and in many articles carrying your immigration stances to the nation.
