Illegal Immigration Fighting Groups Call for National Effort In State Legislatures

Illegal Immigration Fighting Groups Call for National Effort In State Legislatures

April 22, 2015

Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC.us) (866) 703-0864 | WilliamG@alipac.us

ALIPAC is working Overpasses for America to call for activists to visit their state legislature to speak with lawmakers about illegal immigration, state laws, and state legislation in NC and all states where lawmakers are in session on Tuesday April 28, 2015.

In North Carolina, lawmakers say that interest groups like the Chamber of Commerce, Mexican Consulate, and many other "stakeholders" have been in their offices pushing for the passage of HB 328 "Licenses for illegal immigrants" bill, but they have mostly heard from Americans opposed to the measure by email which is the least effective form of persuading lawmakers compared to phone calls and face to face visits.

ALIPAC is asking for the efforts from home to continue but for volunteers to physically converge on state legislatures next Tuesday in all appropriate states with special focus in California, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Nebraska. (Click here to see if your state is in session now.)

"We need to make a habit each Spring of asking people to make plans to go to their state legislatures to meet with their lawmakers and visit others to oppose these licenses and in-state tuition for illegals bills and laws," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "More American defenders in the hallways and offices of the lawmakers is what is missing. While four out of five Americans oppose licenses and in-state tuition for illegals, the illegals have large numbers of paid lobbyists and the American public does not! We need volunteers to change that power balance."

Prior to the last few years, ALIPAC helped defeat in-state tuition for illegals in more than 20 states and helped reduce the number of states giving driver licenses to illegals down to only 3 states.

In the last few years, these bills have started to pass with a narrow band of Republicans joining with most Democrats to support the illegals. At this time, 13 states offer licenses to illegals (click here) and 14 states offer in-state tuition (click here).

Citizen volunteers wishing to participate can take their own initiative or write to WilliamG@alipac.us for any suggestions or assistance.

Please join us across America on Tuesday April 28 to lobby state lawmakers against illegal immigration and any laws and bills that support illegals. For more information or to schedule interviews, visit www.alipac.us.
