Thread: Victories against illegals in NC, OR, and Texas?

Friends of ALIPAC,

With your help, Oregon's state Senate bill 742 has been defeated, closing the door this year on in-state tuition for illegal aliens! Big high five to our allies at Oregonians for Immigration Reform (OFIR) for their outstanding work against this bill.

In North Carolina, your calls and emails flooded offices as William Gheen of ALIPAC, Ron Woodard of NC Listen, and James Johnson of NCFIRE moved office to office in the NC General Assembly with about ten volunteer activists.

The results? House Bill 36 (E-verify) passed the house on second reading by a large margin of 75-43! In the Senate Judiciary II Committee, SB 205 (Stop Illegals from getting welfare) bill passed by unanimous approval and heads to the Senate floor!

We are not out of the woods yet in North Carolina as Thursday is the dreaded 'Crossover Deadline' and these bills must pass one chamber by Thursday night or they die for the year. With more great news from the US Supreme Court this week, our legislation to stop illegal alien sanctuary cities is on the move again in Texas!

Please push hard today and Thursday in North Carolina and Texas! We need ALIPAC activists from all states focused on these two.


Step 1: HB 36 does not need your help in the NC House, but SB 205 does need your help in the full Senate. Please call and write all members of the NC Senate with your own distinct version of our sample message.

Sample Message
"Senator ________: I am calling/writing to ask you to please support Senator Allran's wonderful bill SB 205 which would stop illegal aliens from stealing millions of dollars of public benefits from NC and federal taxpayers. SB 205 passed the Judiciary II committee on Tuesday with bipartisan and unanimous support! Polling information from North Carolina provided by the Civitas Institute shows that approximately 80% of your constituents support the measures in this bill which stop illegal aliens from getting taxpayer benefits. Please support and pass SB 205 before the crossover deadline on Thursday."

Step 2: Shut Down Sanctuary Cities in Texas

Call and write all members of the Texas legislature with the following messages...

"I'm calling/writing to ask you to pass legislation immediately to stop all sanctuary cities, like Houston, from protecting illegal aliens. I am sick and tired of reading about all of the Americans who are murdered by illegal aliens who freely pass in and out of local city jails in Texas until innocent people are killed. When illegal aliens are arrested for other crimes, they should be detained and deported, not allowed to remain in the US to victimize more people."

Please spend as much time as possible Wednesday and Thursday of this week calling and writing to lawmakers in Texas and North Carolina!

Our momentum and victory lists are growing due to your support!

Let's make those calls and pass these bills

http://www.alipac.us/article6337.html

WOOHOO!!! Great news here, but our work is not done!!! Let's finish the job!!

I called Tommy Williams office ( original sponsor of SB9) and asked about the bill. Since the legislature has gone into special session many bills have been combined or had their numbers changed. They are difficult to track. I was told that Rick Perry had put it back on the agenda and she thought it was posted yesterday. I am thinking that HB 2537? was combined with SB9 and one other for the special session. If it is on the agenda it surely will make it to the floor. The rules have been suspended for the special session so now all it will take is a simple majority to pass instead of the two thirds vote. I will post the info when I get it, the staffer is supposed to find a link and send it.

Gov. Perry Adds Congressional Redistricting to Special Session Call
Gov. Rick Perry announced the addition of legislation relating to the abolishment of sanctuary cities, the use of the federal Secure Communities program by law enforcement agencies, and the issuance of driver's licenses and personal identification certificates to the special session call.

"Texas owes it to the brave law enforcement officials, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our families and communities, to give them the discretion they need to adequately do their jobs," Gov. Perry said. "Abolishing sanctuary cities in Texas, using the federal Secure Communities program and ensuring that only individuals who are here legally can obtain a valid Texas driver's license sends a clear message that Texas will not turn a blind eye to those breaking our laws."

By addressing sanctuary cities in this special session, lawmakers will help empower officers to apply their training, experience and judgment to enforcing the laws by keeping municipalities from tying their hands.

Additional items the governor has previously asked the Legislature to consider during the special session are:
• Legislation relating to fiscal matters necessary for the implementation of House Bill No. 1 as passed by the 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, including measures that will allow school districts to operate more efficiently.
• Legislation relating to healthcare cost containment, access to services through managed care, and the creation of economic and structural incentives to improve the quality of Medicaid services.
• Legislation relating to congressional redistricting.
• Legislation relating to the operation of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.
