John DeStefano, the mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, is this month’s “Sneak of the Month” for his efforts to convince the state legislature to allow illegal aliens to vote in municipal elections.
An estimated 10,000 illegals now reside in New Haven, which is considered a “Sanctuary City.” DeStefano says that by allowing these invaders a chance to vote in city elections, New Haven would have a more engaged and better represented community.
New Haven has long been known as a haven for illegal aliens. In 2007, the town started issuing official government ID cards to everyone. The program allows illegal aliens, including terrorists, to obtain the government documents they need to continue to break the nation’s laws.
Commentary From the Council: February 2012

Boy are we busy! While the issue of border security has taken a backseat to news about the economy on television and talk radio, that doesn’t mean things aren’t happening.
Here at the U.S. Border Security Council we are carefully following the battle between Congress and the Administration over President Obama’s “back door amnesty.” You calls, emails and petitions are definitely having an effect. The Administration is really feeling the heat!
The House has already begun hearings into the Administration’s efforts to ignore the nation’s immigration laws, and everyday we are pushing harder and harder to draw attention to this issue. Despite his nearly religious commitment to amnesty, I sincerely believe the President is becoming worried that this issue will hurt his campaign for reelection.
So, my friends, keep up the good work. We have to continue to sound the alarm about amnesty!
