    Their website is claiming 200,000 total calculating for turnover.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum and a leading organizer of the event, said that rallies were planned in several cities on April 10, the last day of the Congressional recess. On May 1, Mr. Noorani said, immigrant groups would release a report card of every lawmaker and where they stand on the immigration overhaul.
    They might as well just create an index using the NumbersUSA cards A=F F=A

    This is the danger that worries me the most - the only real control the electorate has is taking someone's seat away. It is frightening that so many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle personally seem to believe in amnesty (or really not to care), and want another temporary worker program to fulfill the cheaper labor wishes of the agriculture, construction, and hospitality industries, among others, more than they care about our Constitution.
