Right-wing group attacks Casa de Maryland
Report claims the immigration group operates illegally

In an action reminiscent of attacks in 2009 on the national organization ACORN, a conservative national media watchdog group is targeting a Maryland immigration rights organization, claiming it has communist ties and operates outside the law.

In fact, a report by the nonprofit Accuracy in Media on the Montgomery County-based group is entitled “Casa de Maryland: The Illegals’ ACORN.â€

CASA de Maryland: The Illegals’ ACORN

James Simpson — September 20, 2011

The illegal immigration debate has become an urgent focal point of American politics. Liberal politicians from the White House on down have vigorously advocated for illegal immigrant amnesty and lax border enforcement in a naked attempt to bolster prospective voter rolls.[1]

This controversy has been brewing for some time in Maryland, whose Hispanic population more than doubled between 2000 and 2010.[2] Under Governor Martin O’Malley’s sanctuary policies the state has become an illegal alien magnet.[3] The current cost of illegals in Maryland is estimated to be $1.7 billion per year, more than three-quarters of the state’s $2 billion structural deficit.[4]

Taxpayer ire overflowed this March with the passage of Maryland’s Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, granting in-state college tuition rates to illegals. A nonpartisan coalition of concerned Marylanders launched a petition drive to delay the measure and place it on the 2012 ballot as a referendum. They needed 55,736 signatures. They received twice that amount.

The driving force behind the DREAM Act was CASA de Maryland, an increasingly vocal advocate for Maryland’s illegals. The group’s aggressive tactics and questionable dealings helped provoke the outrage that drove the DREAM Act petition to overwhelming victory. CASA’s defeat, however, did not deter them. They recruited longtime Democratic National Committee chief lawyer, Joseph E. Sandler, an attorney who specializes in harassing conservatives with frivolous litigation threats. They have now sued Maryland’s Election Commission to overturn the petition.5

CASA receives about 40 percent of its funding from Maryland state and local governments—almost $5 million of taxpayer dollars in 2010—and spends most of it lobbying for illegal immigrant perks and exceptions. Their recent lawsuit is a blatant attempt to derail the democratic process itself. So it is a fair question to ask: what is CASA de Maryland?

Oh the web the socialist globalists weave.

This is not only telling, it is very damning evidence of exactly who the culprits of not only amnesty but also degrading the United States economy and culture to third-world status really are.

Replace any one of these stealth amnesty PACs into the middle of the network and any one of them can be the catalyst at any given time.

Start with the Roman Catholic Church ..

We need to make sure the American people understand that the radical Obama needs to go.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and its Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), which got caught funding the radical group ACORN, are listed on the CASA website as being among its many financial donors and supporters.
