In a stunning and somewhat surprising
victory for the Voters of Arizona, the
US Court of Appeals for the 9th circuit
Court (biggest federal court and most
often reversed) dismissed a lawsuit
filed by the ACLU and MALDEF (Mexican
American Legal Defense and Education
Fund) ruled that the plaintifs (most
of them using pseudonyms) had not been
injured and could not sue.
This left intact an Arizona law that
limits the payments of benefits to illegal
aliens, requires the reporting to the
proper authorities of those illegally in the
United States, and requires voters
to present proof positive of identification
in Arizona elections. Thus, affirming
the law created by Arizona citizens in
proposition 200 in a margin of 56 to
44 percent (November 2004 election)
The Federation for American Immigration
Reform (FAIR) was represented in
court by The Mountain States Legal
Foundation (MSLF).
Mexican government asserts it will take
the case to the United Nations
commission on human rights. The
Mexican government believes that US
citizens have an obligation to provide
support for Mexican citizens, while
their government officials stuff their
oil revenues in their pockets.
So, Washington State Needs a Proposition 200. Tell your legislator.
The Bank of America (?)
A couple
of years ago, my wife and I had a bad experience with the BofA
when they screwed
up a couple of accounts for us. We finally got that
straightened out.
But, in the process I learned that they employ contractors
to do some of the
bank's routine paperwork. It's cheaper than having bank
employees do the
work. How can contractors hire people cheaper than the
bank and still make
a profit for themselves?
Well, one way is
for them to hire illegal aliens who work cheap and don't
complain if you
don't take out SS, unemployment, L&I, etc. So, if you think
that your personal
information is safe when you deal with B of A because
they carefully screen
their employees - - - think again. Some people may be
handling your paperwork
who are not bank employees - - maybe not even
citizens.
