YES, keep sending me Newsletters NO, stop sending me Newsletters NEWSLETTER WEEK of FEB 17 THIS ISSUE: Is the Border Secure? SHOCKING VIDEO Shows Otherwise Just about a week ago, we were given a video exposing a major breach on the U.S./Mexico border near Lukeville, Ariz. located about 100 miles southwest of Tucson. We checked its authenticity with our sources at the Department of Homeland Security who have confirmed that the video is real and was taken recently. Watch this distressing video that was first posted by Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever and see how, despite claims by the Administration, the border is far from secure. Our DHS sources have been able to determine from the clothes the men are wearing, the straps on their backpacks, and other things they're carrying, that these are indeed drug smugglers bringing hundreds of pounds of illegal drugs into the United States. The fence shown here was built by the Bush Administration and part of a $1 billion contract with Boeing. Amazingly, the fence was designed to do exactly what the smugglers did. The fence panels slide inside two steel columns, but no one in the Bush Administration nor at Boeing even considered welding the panels to the posts, making it easy for smugglers to get through. What we don't know is if they failed to weld along the entire length of the fence or just in some areas. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has testified before Congress, saying the border is more secure now than it's ever been. Administration officials boast about fewer border crossings and the effectiveness of thousands of more border patrol agents. But where are the border patrol agents in this video? And if there aren't any border patrol agents to see the illegal crossings, then the crossings can't be recorded. NumbersUSA is currently pushing for a Congressional investigation into this major breach of border security. The fence needs to be fixed, and Boeing needs to pay for it! There's a new fax on your Action Board alerting your Three Members of Congress of this video. Send the fax now and share this video with everyone you know. We need all Americans to watch it and consider its ramifications. Whether it be smuggling of illegal drugs, national security, or illegal immigration, every American should be shocked and demand answers! CHRIS CHMIELENSKI FRI, FEB 17th ACTION Send faxes to your Three Members of Congress expressing your outrage about what's exposed in the new video. The faxes also urge your Members of Congress to call for an investigation and to demand that Boeing pays for the fence repairs.

Florida Senate Committee Votes Down In-State Tuition Bill The Florida Senate Judiciary Committee has voted down a bill that would offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens who graduate from a Florida high school. This is the second year in a row that DREAM Act-style legislation has failed to reach the State Senate floor. The bill was voted down 4-to-3. FRI, FEB 17th Anti-E-Verify Bill Stopped in Washington State HB 2568, a bill that would have prohibited Washington State local governments from requiring employers to use E-Verify, appears to have died. Democrats in control of the House planned to but did not debate the bill prior to the Feb. 14 deadline for passage of bills from their chamber of origin. Unless House Democratic leaders can garner a 2/3rds majority for reviving the bill an unlikely scenario the bill is dead for the year. WED, FEB 15th WED, FEB 15th E-Verify's Self Check Program Goes Nationwide U.S. Customs and Immigration Services has expanded its E-Verify self-check tool from 21 test states to all 50 states. Self Check is a free online service that allows individuals to check their worker eligibility status before applying for a new job. CHRIS CHMIELENSKI MON, FEB 13th Attrition Through Enforcement trumps any open-border feelings at Conservative conference Last week, the American Conservative Union held its annual conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., offering three days of speeches from Conservative pundits, Members of Congress, and, of course, the GOP Presidential Hopefuls (minus Ron Paul). CPAC organizers are staunch supporters of free markets with leanings toward open-border policies and a more generous guest worker program. But the more than 10,000 attendees at this year's annual conference showed a preference for lower legal immigration levels and tough immigration enforcement. MON, FEB 13th DHS Releases New Data on E-Verify Participation New Data from the Department of Homeland Security show the participation of businesses and worksites that use E-Verify by state. The data show that states with a high number of businesses that contract with the federal government and states that have passed mandatory E-Verify laws, including Arizona, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina, have the highest number of businesses using the online employee verification tool.
