A coalition of groups from across the state gathered Monday to criticize three anti-illegal immigration bills in the Idaho Legislature, calling the measures “nonsense,” and saying that legislators are “out of touch with Idahoans on this issue.”
Here is what Leo Morales, a community organizer with Idaho Community Action Network, said about the legislation:
Christine Tiddens, representing Catholic Charities of Idaho, also shared her thoughts:
Monica Hopkins, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho, also spoke in opposition of the legislation:
To read about the House bill against illegal immigration, co-sponsored by Rep. Phil Hart, R-Athol, and Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Eagle, click here. To read about the Senate version, sponsored by Sen. Mike Jorgenson, R-Hayden Lake, click here. The third piece of legislation seeks to penalize the use of false identification to gain employment and is being brought by Sen. John McGee, R-Caldwell, and Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa.
Monica Hopkins is a waste of skin. How dare she call the bills “anti-immigration”. Was she not paying attention when they were presented as anti- ILLEGAL immigration. What an air bag, her and anyone associated with that un-american organization known as the ACLU.
The ACLU was started by communist in the 1920′s.
The intent of communists is to destroy the U.S.
Some members of the ACLU think child pornography should be legalized.
Why shoud any american care what the scum at the ACLU think.
The U.S is not supposed to be a dictatorship
controlled by the federal govt.
The states do have a right to control illegal
immigration if the federal govt fails to.
Just who do these activists groups think they are trying to stop Illegal Immigration Laws from being passed? Yes, Who? States have every right to pass immigration laws. Look at Oklahoma, Arizona, Mississippi, Missouri, Utah, Nebraska, Georgia and a number of other States. Illegal aliens are destroying this Country and these groups and the ACLU are totally blind to the FACT!
Illegal aliens have made America the dumping ground for all their illegal alien children, then we have to school them and give them free medical care.

How about these groups explain this? In the last 15-16 years, 3.8 million illegal aiens children were born here. who paid for these illegal alien children?
I for one, am sick and tired of these illegal aliens snubbing their nose at our immigration laws and the many other laws of this Country. If our Federal Government can not ENFORCE our immigration laws, and get these illegal aliens out of this Country, then let the States do it! One way or another, an end has to come to this illegal immigration, and not with AMNESTY! Amnesty will only encourage more illegal aliens to invade our Country and reward those who broke our laws and raped the American taxpayer in many ways…depressing our wages, taking our jobs, overwhelming our schools with their illegal alien children, driving without a license or car insurance, all the crime from stolen identities to rape, drugs and everything else.
It’s time for ZERO TOLERENCE with these illegal aliens. It’s time for them get out of this Country and back in their own Country where they belong. When we get rid of the illegal aliens, we will get rid of all the problems that go with them. THAT IS A FACT!
So, IDAHO, get your laws passed! Ignore these IDIOTS!
Morales is another “community organizer” we should not listen to. The states do have the right to deal with such an issue as immigration within their own borders. The charities don’t want justice for those here illegally, they want mercy! Have we considered the costs to the state and local jurisdictions of law enforcement in capturing, incarcerating, and trying the large number of law breakers and actual criminals who are in our state illegally?
Perhaps if these phony do-gooders would take just a fraction of the energy expended in their efforts to subvert American law, and try to make life bearable for those living south of the border, Mexicans and others would not want to make the dangerous trek to the U.S.
How many illegals die from exposure or at the hands of violent criminals in their border-crossing attempts? Do the ACLU and Catholic Charities of Idaho give a damn about them? Or are they too busy counselling illegals on how to benefit from government largesse paid for by hard-working Americans which motivates even more illegals to cross our borders?
The Left wants to get all the illegals into the U.S. that they can. When the Democrats attempt to make them all citizens, the former illegals will know exactly who to vote for in order to keep the gravy train running. This is one of the methods by which Democrats hope to counter the anti-Obama sentiment which threatens to destroy them as a political party in 2010 and 2012.
Let’s get a law like Arizona’s! They will leave in droves! If you want to get involved with this go to NumbersUSA.com
