* Thursday, May 10, 2007: Amid heated charges of a coverup, Tory
MPs abruptly shut down parliamentary hearings on the SPP, a
controversial plan to further integrate Canada and the U.S. They
shut the hearings down in reaction to the testimony of
University of Alberta professor and director of the Parkland
Institute Gordon Laxer, who testifies that Canadians will be
left "to freeze in the dark" if the government forges ahead with
plans to integrate energy supplies across North America. In
response, the chair of the committee, Conservative MP Leon
Benoit (Vegreville-Wainwright), rules his testimony out of order
for being "irrelevant" to the hearings. When opposition MPs on
the committee vote down his ruling, Benoit blurts out that he is
adjourning the meeting, and proceeds to storm out with two other
Conservative MPs. [Some of this information was paraphrased from
the article in the Ottawa Citizen. For full article see "Tory
chair storms out of SPP hearing", Friday May 11, the Ottawa
Citizen, Tory chair storms out of SPP hearing.] Later, Gordon
Laxer's presentation to the trade committee on SPP is officially
voted in as evidence by the committee. The full testimony is
printed in both the Calgary Herald and the Edmonton Journal on
May 16, 2007. You can read it on Vive at: Latest News from

Congress seems to be ignoring the will of the American people as
it rushes headlong into granting amnesty to millions of
intruders. FSM Contributing Editor Sher Zieve wonders if our
voices and our votes have become irrelevant. Is there a deeper,
more sinister plan afoot?
Illegal Immigration: Senate’s Desires Trump American People
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/homeland.php?id=1096950
--------------------
Muckraker Report: You’ve said that you wish to secure the
borders against illegal immigration and to come up with sound
economic policies that decrease the flow of illegal immigration
into the United States. However, there are 12 million illegal
immigrants already present in the country, many of whom are
working honest jobs and just trying to get by. As president,
would you be willing to work with leaders within the immigrants’
rights movement to grant these people their civil liberties
under the law with a goal towards eventual citizenship? Or are
you in favor of deportation?
Congressman Ron Paul: While I realize that mass deportation is
unrealistic, I’m opposed to amnesty, because I believe strongly
in the rule of law. I see this matter chiefly as a problem of
the welfare state. The majority of illegal immigrants in this
country are exceptionally hard workers, but there is a small
minority receiving housing subsidies, food stamps, free medical
care, and other kinds of welfare from the federal government.
This alienates taxpayers and breeds suspicion of illegal
immigrants, which in turn causes citizens to form vigilante
groups to deal with the issue while Congress does nothing.
Without a welfare state, we would know that everyone coming to
America wanted to work hard; with one, however, you can’t avoid
a small element of criminals and freeloaders being attracted
into the country. This is why I’m in favor of securing the
borders immediately. Federal entitlement programs such as Social
Security are also threatened by the influx of illegal immigrants
into the country. Successive administrations have supported the
so-called “totalization” agreements, by which illegal immigrants
would be allowed to qualify for programs like Social Security,
programs that are already in dire shape and threatening
financial ruin for the United States. Sending benefits abroad to
immigrants who once worked here will cost the United States
millions, perhaps even billions, of dollars. Anyone who hopes to
receive Social Security someday should oppose amnesty and
totalization proposals. The problems associated with illegal
immigration cannot be solved overnight, but we cannot begin to
address the issue until we take the difficult steps of securing
the borders, rejecting amnesty, and reaffirming our right as a
sovereign nation to control immigration without apology.

Subject: FW: MONTEBELLO HIGH SCHOOL....
You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front
page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major news
networks.
The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag
flying
upside down at Montebello High School in California .
I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of
any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The
image of
the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on
American
soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail.
Pass this along to every American citizen in your
address books and to every representative in the state and
federal

The Montebello High School flag flipping incident, 2006 was a
