State Legislators for Legal Immigration Founder Metcalfe

and Invasion PA Report Targeted by United Nations



HARRISBURG—Pennsylvania State Representative and State Legislators for Legal Immigration (SLLI) founder Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler County) announced today that both he and his Invasion PA: National Security Begins at Home Keystone State Report have been referenced in the latest United Nations "Committee on the Elimination of Racism" report entitled Right of Immigrants and Migrants to the United States: A Critical Look at the United States and its Compliance Under the (UN) Convention.



"Anti-American reports like this one are exactly why the United States should serve the United Nations and any other foreign or domestic organization who is demanding for our nation to voluntarily sacrifice our land of opportunity, sovereignty and national security with a long overdue eviction notice," said Metcalfe. "Whether the more than 3,000 illegal aliens documented in the Invasion PA report were or ever will be convicted of the additional offenses of homicide, human trafficking, drug running, cop killing gang violence, or stealing American jobs, there is nothing alleged or even hypothetical about their criminal status.



"Every illegal alien's very first step across our borders is a violation of our federal immigration laws which makes them foreign invaders. Therefore, the only right they have as non-American citizens is to go home on their own or face incarceration, deportation, and at the very least, criminal prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Establishing a zero-tolerance policy against illegal alien invaders and anyone who harbors them remains one of America's foremost and most effective defenses against global terrorism, infectious diseases and importing even more third world poverty," added Metcalfe.



Citation 76 which specifically mentions Metcalfe and appears below, came as part of the strategically selected testimony presented by 120 representatives of United States "human rights" organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), during a United Nations sanctioned panel discussion held in Geneva, Switzerland earlier this month. The full document can be currently viewed online at http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/ce ... USHRN3.doc.





"PA State Representative Daryl Metcalfe issued Invasion PA: National Security Begins at Home Keystone State Report, which leads with the following inflammatory call to action:



With the federal government currently AWOL in fulfilling its Constitutional responsibilities to protect American lives, property and jobs against the clear and present dangers of illegal immigration, many states and local governments are left with no choice but to take individual action to address this important issue."



Compiled directly from testimony at House Republican Policy Committee hearings on illegal immigration and media reports from across the Commonwealth and the nation, the individual incidents and statistics chronicled in the Invasion PA report involve ordinary Pennsylvania citizens whose lives have been unnecessarily lost or irreparably damaged due to the federal government's outright refusal to honor the Constitutional obligation of securing America's borders against foreign invaders. This frequently updated report can be viewed online at www.RepMetcalfe.com.



"As a U.S. Army veteran, state lawmaker and founder of State Legislators for Legal Immigration I do not answer to the UN or the ACLU when it comes to protecting the lives, liberties and properties of the citizens I serve against illegal alien invaders," said Metcalfe. "Unlike Washington, D.C., myself and all other SLLI members recognize that doing so would be a violation of our sworn oath of office to uphold our state and federal constitutions. This includes Article 4, Section of 4 of the United States Constitution, which states in no uncertain terms that our government, 'shall guarantee to every state in this Union, a Republican form of government and shall protect each of them against foreign invasion.'"



Including the newest additions of New York and Florida, lawmakers from 34 state legislatures, or more than 60 percent of the nation, have now signed on as members of State Legislators for Legal Immigration. In addition, State Legislators for Legal Immigration members recently entered into a working partnership with the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) to create a comprehensive package of model National Security Begins at Home legislative solutions that any state lawmaker can introduce to effectively shut off all economic attractions and incentives for illegal aliens.
