Thread: America's Police Chief Garrett Chamberlain

www.forthecause.us

Dear Patriots,

The following is our exclusive interview with New
Ipswich, NH Police Chief
Garrett Chamberlain. It is the first in our series on
outstanding American
Patriots who are fighting for the Cause in their own
neighborhoods.

Many have heard that his Criminal Trespass case
against an illegal alien
was lost in court. There's much more to the story --
and it's great news
for all Americans.

Please forward this on to all across the USA -
especially law enforcement,
elected officials, and your neighbors. All of us can
encourage our local
police to enforce the law. Learning about Garrett
might just give them the
inspiration they need!

For the Cause, Linda

W. Garrett Chamberlain - America's Police Chief

Police Chief Garrett Chamberlain made national
headlines earlier this year
when he arrested an illegal alien with fake
identification in his town of
New Ipswich, New Hampshire. Chamberlain charged him
with criminal
trespass. The Chief saw the issue as a matter of
national security and
believed he was acting in the best interests of the
citizens he was sworn
to protect and serve. Sensing a threat that could
spread nationwide, the
case drew the attention of the Mexican government,
which paid for the
defendant's legal representation.

Eventually, the case against the illegal alien was
dismissed by the New
Hampshire district court, but the arrest helped bring
into focus lax
border enforcement by federal officials, much like the
volunteer efforts
of the Minuteman organization. Rep. Tom Tancredo
(R-CO) recognized the
Chief's efforts by presenting him with an award and
calling him a hero for
his actions.

In this exclusive interview, Chief Chamberlain
provides an update on his
efforts to fight illegal immigration and shares his
opinions on related
matters, including the Minutemen. He also reveals his
thoughts about
running for a seat in Congress after he retires.

1. Has the decision by the New Hampshire district
court to leave
immigration enforcement to federal authorities
discouraged your efforts to
act against illegal immigration in New Ipswich?

The decision by the New Hampshire Court has only
restricted one avenue of
enforcement for our agency. I believe that by bringing
the criminal
trespass charge many positives have come from it. It
has started the
wheels in motion for many States to look at their own
criminal laws and to
find applicable laws to enforce against illegal
immigration.

2. Has all the publicity about your efforts to deal
with illegal
immigration in New Ipswich discouraged more of this
activity, or has it
inadvertently made your town a safe haven for illegal
aliens?

The publicity has helped to discourage illegal
immigrants from entering or
traveling through New Ipswich. The immigrant community
in one of the
biggest cities in the State told their residents to
avoid New Ipswich and
Hudson at all costs. A year ago, there were four
houses in New Ipswich
that were used specifically for housing illegal
immigrants that were
employed here. Since I have begun pursuing illegal
immigrants, those
houses now are empty and on the market, or have
already been sold.

3. Since the court's decision, have any of your
department's officers
undergone training to become federal immigration
enforcement agents (ICE
deputies)?

No, the judge who ruled against us indicated in his
ruling that there was
the option for us to participate in the ICE training
program to give us
the authority to enforce immigration laws. My
understanding of the law and
many other Court decisions is that we already have
inherent authority to
enforce immigration laws. The ninth and tenth circuit
Courts have ruled
that way again and again. If the officers were to
participate in the
training, it does not solve the problem that local and
State police face,
which is the Federal government's denial to respond to
take custody of
arrested or detained illegal aliens.

4. What about going after employers who hire illegal
aliens - given the
court's decision, is this still an approach you can
use to discourage
illegal immigration to New Ipswich?

I have been in contact with the New Hampshire
legislature and have
proposed the establishment of a task force in New
Hampshire to target
employers who hire illegal immigrants. New Hampshire
has a law in place,
RSA 275-A, which is called, "Citizens Employment
Protection."

[LINK] Section 275-A:4-a is entitled "Employment of
Illegal Aliens
Prohibited" and that law states that " No employer may
employ an alien
whom the employer knows is not a citizen of the United
States and not in
possession of Form I-151, Alien Registration Receipt
Card or any other
document issued by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization
Service or the Attorney General of the United States
which authorizes him
to work."

The penalty section of the law indicates that "Any
person, partnership,
agency, firm, or corporation violating any provision
of RSA 275-A shall be
subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each
day of noncompliance,
to be imposed by the labor commissioner in accordance
with the procedures
established in RSA 273:11-a."

The legislature has indicated recently in a press
release that their
priorities for the January session would be the
Criminal Trespass law,
amending it to apply to illegal immigrants and the
enforcement of the law
against employers.

5. In Canyon County, Idaho, a federal racketeering
(RICO) suit has been
filed against four companies accused of employing
illegal immigrants. Have
you ever considered doing this in New Ipswich?

I cannot bring Federal charges. This would have to be
done by the
government, as it was in Idaho.

6. Ohio's Butler County seems to be pretty aggressive
in fighting illegal
immigration. What significance do developments there
have on your efforts
in New Ipswich?

It is encouraging to see other communities stand up
for what is right, and
not collapsing under the pressure of political
correctness. This is the
position that every law enforcement agency should
have. Unfortunately,
many in positions such as mine are pressured
politically from taking a
hard stand on any controversial issue. I will not
succumb to that
pressure.

7. If elected officials in New Ipswich were to declare
the town a
"sanctuary" for illegal aliens, how would you deal
with the situation?

I would inform them that they were in violation of
Federal law by aiding
or assisting persons in the United States illegally. I
would also inform
them that if they did not repeal the sanctuary policy,
that I would pursue
criminal charges at the State level for Obstructing
Governmental
Administration, and request prosecution at the Federal
level. This is what
should be taking place in cities like Denver and New
York.

I'm very fortunate that I have a great board of
selectmen who believe in
the law of the land, and they have given me full
authority to enforce all
laws. I don't have to worry about the New Ipswich
selectmen considering
any sanctuary policy because they still believe in
America.

8. The Minuteman organization has been operating on
the border and in many
states for 18 months now. Have you formed an opinion
of the Minutemen...
and what would be your reaction if a Minuteman unit
formed in New Ipswich?

I think the Minutemen are an outstanding group of
dedicated individuals
who donate their time to assist in protecting the
citizens of this great
Nation, providing security to the borders where the
government has
intentionally neglected to do its job. Chris Simcox
and Jim Gilchrist are
heroes in my book. I would welcome a Minuteman unit in
New Ipswich, or
even New Hampshire.

9. What do you believe is the reason why so many of
our public officials
at every level of government are shirking their duty
to enforce our
immigration laws?

The issue is complex, but I believe that you have the
Democratic Party
whose majority is in favor of open borders because of
liberal social
positions, and you have a significant portion of the
Republican Party that
is manipulated by big business. Many politicians are
afraid of the labels
that are applied when you take a stand like I have,
such as racist, bigot,
etc.

10. You're eligible for retirement in 7 years… Have
you given any thought
to running for Congress?

I have given political office some thought, and I will
make a
determination in the future. I don't believe that I
have much chance of
winning an election because I come from a middle class
family and I will
always do what is right, not what is popular.
