“One of the pathways to citizenship that people believe is a good one is — even if you’re not in this country legally — to pay taxes,” Schulman said to a group of reporters.

Illegal aliens don’t have to pay taxes, since they are in this country illegally. Additionally, in order to pay income taxes they must continue to break the law and use an illegally obtained Social Security number in order to file a tax return. So, the head of the IRS is promoting identity theft as a way to obtain U.S. Citizenship!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

“Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a hero and the Obama Administration better back off its campaign to destroy this great American,” warns U.S. Border Security Council National Spokesman Steve LeBlanc.

The Administration in recent weeks has stepped up its attacks on the Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff even going so far as to demand that the highly effective Sheriff’s office be placed under federal government control. The U.S. Justice Department contends that Arpaio is a power hungry racist for enforcing the nation’s immigration laws and is suing the Sheriff.
Illegal immigration activists have gotten into the act of Arpaio bashing as well by releasing a slanderous “documentary” about the Sheriff Joe.

“We are going to activate our national network of supporters and defend Joe Arpaio,” LeBlanc says. What the government is trying to do to this man is shameful. We are already working on a national internet campaign to pressure the Administration to back off. And we might have to expand that effort to other forms of media as well.”

As talk of a “Republican” version of the Dream Act Immigration Amnesty being introduced this summer heats up, U.S. Border Security Council National Spokesman Steve LeBlanc is warning presumed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney that backing such a proposal could be catastrophic for his campaign.

“Any candidate who believes supporting even a watered-down version of the Dream Act Amnesty is fooling himself,” LeBlanc warns. “I understand that candidates want to appear compassionate towards kids who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents, however, rewarding people for breaking the law is never, ever a good idea. And the American people know it.”

Under a possible GOP-sponsored Dream Act, children of illegal aliens who have spent their entire lives living in the United States illegally could be granted a type of legal immigration status that is short of receiving a Green Card.

“The American people will vigorously oppose any plan that rewards illegal immigrants — no matter who they are — with legal residency status,” LeBlanc warns. “The proposals being floated by turncoats like Senator Marco Rubio are amnesty proposals. They may not allow illegal alien kids to pay in-state tuition at public universities, but they are a version of Amnesty nonetheless and we will fight them.”

The traditional Dream Act Amnesty proposal allows kids who were brought into the United States illegally many years ago to remain in the United States. Many politicians claim that the U.S. Government must be “compassionate” and not force these children to leave the country they grew up in.

The Council points out, however, that just because of their unique circumstances and the fact that their parents have been violating the laws for years doesn’t change the fact that these children are here illegally. “Just because you have been breaking the law for years doesn’t entitle you to immunity from those laws,” LeBlanc says. “These kid’s parents the uncaring ones in this whole story. They deliberately put their children in this position in the hope that their lawbreaking would pay off in the end.”

LeBlanc says that with such a prominent “conservative” Republican like Marco Rubio pushing this new version of the Dream Act Amnesty, that Mitt Romney will be more inclined to change his public position against it and support this so-called “compromise.”

“I hope all our supporters will tell their local Romney campaign organizers that they oppose any version of the Dream Act Amnesty and that Romney had better do the same,” LeBlanc urges. “This is a critical issue for the country. Any type of amnesty will simply encourage more and more illegal immigrants to come pouring across our borders.”

As part of its continuing effort to prevent any type of immigration amnesty being extended to illegal immigrants, the U.S. Border Security Council is launching a national pledge campaign urging candidates for Congress to pledge in writing that they will never support such legislation.

The first phase of the campaign is just now getting under way and involves mailing tens of thousands of “Americans First!” pledges to Council supporters.

“In my cover letter I urge our supporters to actually sign the enclosed anti-amnesty pledge themselves,” the Council’s National Spokesman Steve LeBlanc says. “Each of these pledges is also addressed to the supporters Congressman. When the signed pledges come back to us, we will then deliver them directly to the various offices in the House of Representatives. Our goal is to create a grassroots movement behind this Americans First! Pledge and to force current Members of Congress to openly guarantee their constituents that they will oppose amnesty no matter what.”

In the second phase of the program the Council plans to lobby candidates for Congress to sign the pledge as well. “I think it is important for voters to no where all the candidates stand on this issue of national security,” says LeBlanc. “With the President still openly lobbying for it, and Senator Harry Reid still fighting for it on Capitol Hill, this issue isn’t going away any time soon. It’s time every candidate took a stand.”

The Americans First! Pledge specifically calls on elected to officials:

1) To stop any Amnesty or Guest Worker program that puts foreign nationals in competition with American citizens for jobs.

2) To build a Secure Border Fence.

3) To aggressively deport Illegal Alien Criminals.

“It is a shame that what we are effectively doing is demanding that the people who want to represent us in Washington declare, in writing, that they will enforce the laws and protect the American people,” LeBlanc remarks. “However, it is no longer a given than a politician will put Americans first when he or she gets to Washington.”

The letters and Americans First! Pledges produced for U.S. Border Security Council supporters should be arriving in mailboxes in early May. Supporters are urged to sign and return their pledges immediately.

The Council then plans to begin deliveries to Capitol Hill in early Summer with a goal of recruiting as many pledge signers as possible from all candidates for Congress by this October.

“If this program is successful, it could have a very significant effect in educating voters about which candidates truly support border security,” says LeBlanc.

Under the bill sponsored by Senator Angela Giron, those students would pay more than the in-state rate of tuition, but less than the nonresident rate that currently applies to them. Colleges would have the option not to offer the third rate of tuition.

It is time someone literally forced the politicians to take a stand on amnesty. In the past, we have had to rely on vague statements from politicians to know where they stand. Or, worse, we’ve had to wait until an actual amnesty vote comes up to learn whether or not our elected representatives actually do represent us on the issue of border security!

This pledge program, however, will cut down on a great deal of the political game-playing. Either a politician signs the Americans First! Pledge or they do not! We can’t wait to get this program rolling!

San Antonio officials complained that fans from a rival school district were racist for celebrating their victory with the traditional patriotic cheer. Many of the players on the losing team from Edison High School are Hispanic.

“It was chanted selectively at a school that is predominantly Hispanic and there was understanding of that,” whined San Antonio district spokesman Leslie Price. She claimed that many people who called her office found the “USA, USA” chant to be “very disrespectful.”
