Critical Issue: Ohio to be harmed by 2010 Census if illegal aliens included in count!

Your help needed immediately to support Vitter Amendment!

Background: U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) plans to submit an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill to address the problem of illegal aliens skewing the 2010 Census results. The Vitter amendment would require the U.S. Census Bureau to add questions regarding immigration & citizenship status to the 2010 decennial census. If the amendment fails, illegal aliens will be counted in the census and states that have large populations of illegals will unfairly gain Congressional seats and Ohio will likely loose one or more Congressional districts and therefore have less influence in Congress and in future presidential elections.

What should you do?

Please call Ohio's U.S. Senators' Sherrod Brown and George Voinovich and urge them to support Sen. Vitter's census amendment. Call the Washington DC office and or their district offices in Ohio.

What should you say when the staff answers the phone? "Please ask the Senator to support Senator Vitter's amendment to the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill to protect Ohio from losing one or more Congressional districts. If illegal aliens are counted during the 2010 Census, states like California, Texas, and New York will likely gain Congressional districts and Ohio will lose one or more districts. Thank you."

Poll: Mexicans Say Amnesty Would Increase Illegal Immigration

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new survey by Zogby
International finds that people in Mexico think that granting legal status to
illegal immigrants would encourage more illegal immigration to the United
States. As the top immigrant-sending country for both legal and illegal
immigrants, views on immigration in Mexico can provide insight into the likely
impact of an amnesty, as well as other questions related to immigration.
..

-- An overwhelming majority (69 percent) thought that the primary loyalty
of Mexican-Americans (Mexico- and U.S.-born) should be to Mexico. Just
20 percent said it should be to the United States. The rest were
unsure.
-- Also, 69 percent of people in Mexico felt that the Mexican government
should represent the interests of Mexican-Americans (Mexico- and
U.S.-born) in the United States...

What is the Matricula Consular Card?

The Matricula Consular de Alta Seguridad (MCAS) (Consular Matriculation of High Security) is an identification card issued by the Government of Mexico through its consulate offices to Mexican nationals residing outside of Mexico regardless of their emigration status.[1] Also known as the Mexican CID card, it has been issued since 1871,[2] and cardholders could be either legal or illegal aliens in the foreign country they are residing in.[3] The official purpose of the card is to demonstrate that the bearer is a Mexican national living outside of Mexico. It includes an official Government of Mexico issued ID number and bears a photograph and address of the Mexican National to whom it is issued.

Use of the MCAS cards by illegal aliens weakens the measures established by the U.S. Congress after "9/11 to safeguard American businesses and financial institutions against fraud and abuse".[4] U.S. law enforcement officials also cite that Matricula Consular cards are issued by Mexican Consulate without checking the authenticity of the applicant's supporting documentation.

In a letter to the Homeland Security Secretary, the U.S. House Chairmen of the Homeland Security Committee, the Judiciary Committee, the Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, and the Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, & Intellectual Property wrote, that the Matricula Consular "can be a perfect breeder document for establishing a false identity". They warned that criminals could exploit the cards to conceal their identity as well as launder money and write fraudulent checks. They went on to point out that any acceptance of the cards by the Federal government "compromises our homeland security" by providing an opportunity for terrorists to freely move about the U.S., board planes and transfer funds for terrorist activities.[5] (for more info check Wikipedia. .matricula consular card)

RE: 10/13/05 RESOLUTION

Dear Commissioners:

It has come to my attention that the Board of Lake County Commissioners unanimously adopted a Resolution "endorsing use of the Matricula Consular Issued by the Mexican Consulate for identification purposes" on the date referenced above.

I know that this card is not a valid ID and is not accepted by the Lake County Sheriff or the Painesville Police Chief as verifiable identity. I also know that your resolution is in direct conflict with federal law. Those are just some of the objections to the Matricula Card, and you have been apprized of those objections by several citizens of Lake County. Nonetheless, you have failed to withdraw the offensive resolution.

I am a citizen of Lake County, and I am now urging you to immediately withdraw that resolution.

Respectfully,


signed:
