—————————— Introduction ——————————
For decades, agreements between the United States, Canada, and Mexico have
been slowly eroding each nation’s governing structure and identity. Bi-national
and tri-national activities, such as those found in free trade agreements, are bringing
in the foundation pieces for regional governance — a North American Union.
Proponents refer to the structure as a North American Community.
Plans that promote regional government development can be found in the Security
and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPPNA or SPP). In Canada, initiatives
have also come under headings like Deep Integration, or the Big Idea. Regardless
of the title, the outcome will be the same: regional priorities taking precedence
over national sovereignty, economy, goals and culture.
The push to create a regional structure — a step toward globalization — is
behind many activities that negatively impact our lives:
– commissions, task forces, and working groups — that bypass elected representatives
and public interests — are “harmonizing” or “integrating” national policies of
countries (similar decision-making is also operating at local and state levels);
– eminent domain (power to seize private property without owner consent) is
increasingly employed to remove barriers to (regional/global) free trade plans
— like private property located on hundreds of thousands of acres of land on
international corridor (NAFTA superhighway) routes that will run through many
states; or private property located in cities/counties selected for international
trade hub/port development (unbeknown to the public-at-large);
– control of essential infrastructure assets is transferring away from citizens as
the assets (roads, water supply, utilities, etc.) are sold or leased to foreign investors
and multinational corporations;
“… Societies do not usually
lose their freedom at a blow.
They give it up bit by bit,
letting themselves be tied down
with an infinity of little knots.
As rules and regulations
increase, their range of actions
is gradually compressed.
Their options slowly lessen.
Without noticing the change,
they become wards of state.
They imagine themselves still
free, but in a thousand and one
ways, their choices are limited
and guided by the authorities.
And always, there are
what seem to be sensible
reasons for letting their
autonomy be peeled away—
“safety,” “health,” “social
justice,” “equal opportunity.”
It is easy to become
accustomed to docility.
That is why eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.
Not because liberty is easy
to shatter. But because it can
be softened and dismantled
with the acquiescence of the
very men and women from
whom it is being stolen.”

— “special” local, county, state, and federal regional planning projects (of highly
questionable community benefit) precipitate the need for higher funding (taxes);
– properties located on land designated for regional planning projects (coincidentally)
encounter zoning and rezoning problems that restrict property usage (leading
to devaluation) and/or ultimately force owners to make questionable costly changes;
– lack of border enforcement — in line with regional “common market” goals to
establish free movement of services, people, and information between nations —
allows for the influx of illegal migrants, which in turn contributes to financial
crisis in education, health care, penal, judicial and other sectors;
– military and civilian law enforcement plans involving the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico contain the potential to deploy foreign forces to any of the three nations
(e.g., Mexican military to the U.S. and Canada);
– attempts to mandate involuntary military and civilian labor in and outside the
U.S. (e.g., the “Universal National Service Act of 2006” (HR 4752 introduced
Feb. 14, 2006) which proposes “To provide for the common defense by requiring
all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18
and 42 to perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in
furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes.”
If this mandate passes, the taxpayer burden will be staggering);
– ID card standards-setting (for all drivers’ licenses and IDs for official use like
passports) are establishing mandates for data to be collected and for smartcard
technologies (handy for population monitoring in the North American region);
– data collections and expansion of data access and sharing among agencies, states,
and the federal governments is invading our privacy and increasing the potential
for identity theft and fraudulent use of our personal information;
– changes in the purpose and content of education (merging the academic and
vocational, which reduces and narrows the overall knowledge and skills taught)
to support workforce reform for the (low wage) global economy. (Globalization
creats a situation, for example, where U.S. workers will compete with
those in China where “two-thirds of last year’s college graduates are earning
less than $250 a month”1);
– promotion of North American regional government and citizenship in education
(for example, some of Arizona State University’s students are being taught
“that the U.S., Mexico and Canada need to be integrated into a unified superstate,
where U.S. citizens of the future will be known as ‘North Americanists,’
according to the taxpayer-funded ‘Building North America’ program”2);
– and the list goes on and on.
Regionalization has thus far not brought prosperity or security to citizens-at-large.
It is the “system” itself (North American Union/Community governing structure)
and special interest sectors that benefit. We are at a critical juncture. We need to
take a stand NOW to stop regionalization’s destruction of our nation, our rights,
our opportunities, and our freedom.

Release from Senator Isakson’s office on illegal immigration and United States border security.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, January 18, 2007

Isakson Introduces Comprehensive Immigration Legislation to Secure America’s Borders
No Guest Worker Plan Until Department of Homeland Security Certifies Border Security Measures Are Fully Funded, Operational

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) today introduced legislation to require that the first step of comprehensive immigration reform be to secure the U.S. borders. His legislation also spells out in detail the increased manpower, equipment and technology necessary to stop the flood of illegal immigrants into our country.

“There is no way you can reform legal immigration unless you first stop the porous borders and the flow of illegal immigrants,” Isakson said on the Senate floor. “I come to the floor of the Senate today to introduce a major immigration reform bill that I think is the bridge from where we are to where we must go. I stand ready to work with any senator on comprehensive immigration reform as long as securing the borders is the foundation of that reform.”
Isakson’s legislation would prohibit implementation of its guest worker program until the Department of Homeland Security certifies to the President and to the Congress that the border security provisions in the immigration legislation are fully funded and operational.

Those border security provisions that must be in place before a guest worker program can begin are spelled out in Isakson’s bill and they include five main items:

Manpower – authorizing 14,000 new full-time Border Patrol Agents as well as 2,500 new Port of Entry Inspectors and 250 new Deputy U.S. Marshals.
Detention beds – authorizing detention facilities with an additional 20,000 detention beds to end the practice of “catch and release.”
Barriers – authorize additional barriers such as fences, roads or underground sensors where appropriate.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles — authorize more than $450 million to acquire and maintain a squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles with high-tech sensors and satellite communication to allow coverage on the border by an unmanned vehicle 24 hours a day.
Biometric ID – establish a biometric secure identification card program so employers can verify an immigrants’ status.
“The reason we have this problem is we have the greatest nation on the face of this Earth. You don’t find anybody trying to break out of the United States of America. They’re all trying to break in,” Isakson said. “And they are for a very special reason: the promise of hope and opportunity and jobs. But we must make the only way to come to America be the legal way to come to America.”
Once the border security provisions included in the bill are implemented, Isakson’s legislation would give individuals who are here in the country illegally one year to come forward and identify themselves. These individuals would be required to clear the terrorist watch list and a criminal background investigation as well as proving that they or the head of their household are employed. These individuals would then receive a two-year temporary work permit, renewable as long as they remain law-abiding, remain employed and complete within those first two years an approved assimilation program that includes English and civics lessons.

Isakson’s legislation would not offer any special pathway to citizenship for these individuals. They would have to pursue citizenship through the same rules and procedures that are already in place for any other immigrant.

“We’ve had in this country for two centuries a pathway to citizenship, and it’s known as legal immigration. It’s absolutely essential that we restore the confidence of the American people, and we send the message to those that yearn to come to this country that there’s one way to get here and that one way is the legal route,” Isakson said

Isakson believes it is critical to secure the borders before implementing a new guest worker program because otherwise the United States will face a repeat of 1986, when amnesty was granted to 3 million illegal immigrants without enhancing border security first. The result, Isakson said, was that millions more immigrants have flooded into the United States illegally and now are straining our schools, our hospitals and our local jails.

In July 2006, Isakson was the first member of Congress to propose using emergency supplemental funds to secure the border when he spoke on the Senate floor calling on the President to send a request for the funding to Congress.

In May 2006, during debate in the Senate on immigration reform, Isakson introduced a similar trigger amendment that would have prohibited the implementation of any program granting legal status to those who have entered the country illegally until the Secretary of Homeland Security had certified to the President and to the Congress that the border security provisions in the immigration legislation were funded and operational. The Senate defeated the amendment on May 16 by a vote of 40 yeas to 55 nays, but Isakson believes he has gained even more support for his border security trigger in the months since.

More on the not so secret drive to “integrate” the U.S. Mexico and Canada from CNN’s Lou Dobbs January 18, 2007
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

DOBBS: The Bush administration is pushing and pushing hard a partnership between the United States and Mexico and Canada, with a goal of what it calls integration by 2010. This partnership among three nations is being discussed at the highest levels of the three governments at the urging of the largest multinational corporations, but it is barreling ahead with absolutely no congressional oversight, no voter approval, out of sight completely of the American people. And as far as we can determine, without any constitutional authority whatsoever.

Christine Romans reports. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): Congressman Virgil Goode wants to stop the Security and Prosperity Partnership.

REP. VIRGIL GOODE (R), VIRGINIA: It will lead to a union between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. And it will greatly harm the sovereignty of the United States. It is part of the open borders philosophy to do away with borders. And I vigorously oppose it.

ROMANS: Launched in 2005, it’s a dramatic government and business effort to “harmonize regulations.” The president promised, no matter who the players are in Washington, Mexico City and Ottawa, this bureaucracy is meant to endure.

BUSH: And I appreciate the commitment of the prime minister and the president toward a spirit of partnership to outlast whatever politics may occur.

ROMANS: To critics, outlasting politics means skirting Congress and the will of the American people in secrecy. It took a Freedom of Information request to find out what happened last fall. Closed to the press, the North America forum was attended by the highest levels of business in government. The conservative group Judicial Watch found…

TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH: This is a forum where the push is for taxes, the push is for open borders. The push is for investment funds for Mexico.

So all the talk is on one side of the equation.

ROMANS: Among the notes the Pentagon released of meeting, a goal of integration and “Open borders for industry and investment. North America needs to be more competitive, and yet security goals seem to interfere with this outcome.” And the admission, “Most people (are) not compelled by North America integration need to identify steps that demonstrate the concept and success.”

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ROMANS: Numerous documents advocate open borders between and a secure perimeter around the three countries, taking what’s called a continental vision. It is a vision Congressman Goode does not share. He will introduce this week a resolution opposing the Security and Prosperity Partnership — Lou.

DOBBS: And some mindless and uninformed before suggesting that this is not even occurring. I saw a number of articles suggesting whether it’s North American Union just isn’t happening. It’s a fiction as some wild conspiracy theory, yet it is absolutely documented, this administration continues to deny what is happening right in front of us, although it is happening with stealth and with secrecy, it’s happening.

ROMANS: The administration has a Web site called spp.gov. It outlines myths and realities. People can check it out themselves but there are a lot of questions about this, Lou.

DOBBS: You can check out our Web site, too, which is about truth. We’ll let the administration have its own view of that truth. And fortunately it seems to be one that they don’t want to share with a lot of Americans for some reason. This is a very important story.

ROMANS: They will not come on camera to talk about it, but they will refer us to a Web site but not come on camera it talk about it.

DOBBS: Absolutely. How odd and out of character. Christine, thanks. Christine Romans.

Today’s Marietta Daily Journal column[ slightly expanded with links to additional information to educate the reader]

Expect more amnesty talk Tuesday

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
– Presidential oath of office

“First, the United States must secure its borders. This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation.”
President Bush , May 2006

In his State of the Union speech Tuesday, some of the topics that we can expect the leader of the American people to address will likely include global warming, spending, the war in Iraq, skyrocketing health care costs – and his sales presentation, again, for a “comprehensive” plan for a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.

His constant message on the issue is that awarding American citizenship as a punishment to deter future illegal immigration will somehow lead to American border security.

It makes you wonder doesn’t it?

Having twice sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution, President Bush has spent a large part of the last five years telling Americans that there are millions of “jobs Americans will not do” – in hopes that we will eventually accept this as truth – and an excuse for his refusal to secure the homeland.

He will be pressing hard to make us believe that the response to the illegal immigration disaster in America is to transform the more than 20 million mostly Mexican illegal aliens into U.S. citizens.

This creates a question: If Americans will not do the jobs now being done by the illegals, who is going to do the same jobs once they become Americans?

It kind of makes you wonder.

It is of course, mindless and insulting nonsense to say that there are jobs American workers will not do if we are paid a living wage – but constantly advancing mindless nonsense has proven to be an effective tool for the open-borders lobby and we shouldn’t expect its talking points to change anytime soon.

What is more interesting than what we will hear from the president is what we won’t hear.

You probably won’t hear the president point to any examples of wages having gone up in the United States as a result of illegal immigration.

You shouldn’t expect him to boast about the necessity to “press one” to speak English on the telephone in Georgia.

I am guessing that we won’t hear President Bush tell us about the Mexican government’s newest effort to help its citizens get safely into the U.S illegally -by providing the illegal crossers with handheld satellite navigation devices.

The British Telegraph News quotes Jaime Obregon, the coordinator for the commission for migrants in Puebla, the Mexican state which will begin the project soon, as saying, “There are lots of people looking to cross and we are working with the U.S. authorities to make sure they do not die on the way.”

I doubt that the president is going to mention the thousands of U.S. citizens who have been killed by illegal aliens while Mexico deports more people each year than we do.

The fact that last week unarmed National Guard troops at an observation post near Sasabe Arizona, USA were forced to retreat from an armed group of people who eventually ran into Mexico? You won’t hear about it.

Most of us who study illegal immigration would be very surprised to hear the American president talk about the June 2004 Social Security agreement with Mexico.

Called “Totalization,” unless stopped by Congress, the intentionally unpublicized plan would eventually add millions of Mexicans – and their dependents – who have worked in the U.S., false ID or not – to the American Social Security rolls.

It kind of makes you wonder what else you haven’t heard about, doesn’t it?

How about this one: According to the Heritage Foundation, the 2006 version of the path to citizenship that is “not amnesty-again” could have added almost 200 million more people to the U.S population in the next 20 years – more than 180 million more legal immigrants than current law permits.

The coming proposal for 2007 is said to be even more liberal.

Let’s try not to think about the plan to make Interstate 75 some 36 lanes wide in Cobb County or the expert warnings of a metro-area water shortage in the near future.

Another thing you won’t hear the president say is that many members of the wealthy American elite who are really in charge are working furiously to eliminate the old-fashioned concept of borders entirely and create the free flow of goods, services – and people.

Looking back at the president’s record on border security and immigration-law enforcement, it kind of makes you wonder if he really means what he does say, doesn’t it?

[entire column here]
D.A. King is president of the Dustin Inman Society, a Marietta-based non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on the consequences of illegal immigration. On the Web: www.TheDustinInmanSociety.org

Below is lawyer Hernan’s response to my column in the Cherokee Tribune Sunday, it ran in yesterday’s Tribune.

Fair, humane solution needed for undocumented

“By passing comprehensive immigration reform, we will uphold our laws, meet the needs of our economy, and keep America what she has always been – an open door to the future, a blessed and promised land, one Nation under God.”

– President George W. Bush, Aug. 5, 2006 radio address

When the law firm of Hernan Taylor & Lee represented two hosts of a Spanish-language radio station in their dispute against the hosts of the “Regular Guys” morning show, our firm was targeted by anti-immigrant groups and shocked to receive vulgar, threatening emails that are entirely unfit to publish here. Go figure that when a guest column by D.A. King, “Cherokee should take courage from Hazleton mayor” was published in the Tribune on Sunday, those e-mails began to appear again.

We have no interest in publicizing what we believe are our good works but, after reading King’s column, we feel compelled to defend our integrity.

Prior to forming our firm, my partners and I were attorneys at an international law firm serving Fortune 100 clients and earning six-figure salaries. In 2002, we left that comfortable lifestyle and opened an office in the midst of the Spanish-speaking population of Roswell to serve the Latino community. Our firm has grown since then but we have never abandoned our sense of purpose and dedication to the community we serve.

King challenges our integrity because he does not know our firm or our partners. He does not know that Chris Taylor served as a missionary for two years in Mexico, or that my other partner, Jerome Lee, is a prototypical “Horatio Alger” who graduated with honors from Harvard and Stanford and is a staunch advocate of human and civil rights.

Our firm has proudly served charitable organizations and immigrant rights groups throughout its history. We have spent thousands of hours working with different organizations to provide information about immigration reform and have never charged or received a penny for doing so, and certainly would not charge any client for immigration services unless and until there was a basis under federal law for that client to be eligible to apply.

If any group asks us to come speak to them about immigration reform, we do so without charge in order to spread the message about the importance of the issue. King can make whatever suggestions he wants about our motivations, but if you ask the people who know us and work with us they will have the true answer.

King’s characterization of Cherokee County’s public hearing on the housing ordinance is also inaccurate. Religious leaders, community members and other attorneys spoke out passionately against the ordinance. A significant number of the people speaking out in favor of the ordinance did not even live in Cherokee County.

We are proud we were able to work with the county’s attorneys towards a rational resolution and, while it is clear we disagree with the position of certain members of the Board of Commissioners, both sides were able to work in a non-adversarial and professional manner to attempt to resolve the dispute.

King would like you to think our firm and others advocating for immigrant rights are seeking wide-open borders and lawlessness. Quite the contrary. The federal government must secure the borders of the U.S. so the flow of people into this country is regulated and controlled.

There is more…please read the rest here.

Please take this poll if you have five minutes…it is a long one but will serve to get your opinion out.

NOTES

Note 1: This text of the Constitution follows the engrossed copy signed by Gen. Washington and the deputies from 12 States. The small superior figures preceding the paragraphs designate Clauses, and were not in the original and have no reference to footnotes.

The Constitution was adopted by a convention of the States on September 17, 1787, and was subsequently ratified by the several States, on the following dates: Delaware, December 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, December 18, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, June 21, 1788.

Ratification was completed on June 21, 1788.

The Constitution was subsequently ratified by Virginia, June 25, 1788; New York, July 26, 1788; North Carolina, November 21, 1789; Rhode Island, May 29, 1790; and Vermont, January 10, 1791.

In May 1785, a committee of Congress made a report recommending an alteration in the Articles of Confederation, but no action was taken on it, and it was left to the State Legislatures to proceed in the matter. In January 1786, the Legislature of Virginia passed a resolution providing for the appointment of five commissioners, who, or any three of them, should meet such commissioners as might be appointed in the other States of the Union, at a time and place to be agreed upon, to take into consideration the trade of the United States; to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interest and their permanent harmony; and to report to the several States such an act, relative to this great object, as, when ratified by them, will enable the United States in Congress effectually to provide for the same. The Virginia commissioners, after some correspondence, fixed the first Monday in September as the time, and the city of Annapolis as the place for the meeting, but only four other States were represented, viz: Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; the commissioners appointed by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Rhode Island failed to attend. Under the circumstances of so partial a representation, the commissioners present agreed upon a report, (drawn by Mr. Hamilton, of New York,) expressing their unanimous conviction that it might essentially tend to advance the interests of the Union if the States by which they were respectively delegated would concur, and use their endeavors to procure the concurrence of the other States, in the appointment of commissioners to meet at Philadelphia on the Second Monday of May following, to take into consideration the situation of the United States; to devise such further provisions as should appear to them necessary to render the Constitution of the Federal Government adequate to the exigencies of the Union; and to report such an act for that purpose to the United States in Congress assembled as, when agreed to by them and afterwards confirmed by the Legislatures of every State, would effectually provide for the same.

Congress, on the 21st of February, 1787, adopted a resolution in favor of a convention, and the Legislatures of those States which had not already done so (with the exception of Rhode Island) promptly appointed delegates. On the 25th of May, seven States having convened, George Washington, of Virginia, was unanimously elected President, and the consideration of the proposed constitution was commenced. On the 17th of September, 1787, the Constitution as engrossed and agreed upon was signed by all the members present, except Mr. Gerry of Massachusetts, and Messrs. Mason and Randolph, of Virginia. The president of the convention transmitted it to Congress, with a resolution stating how the proposed Federal Government should be put in operation, and an explanatory letter. Congress, on the 28th of September, 1787, directed the Constitution so framed, with the resolutions and letter concerning the same, to “be transmitted to the several Legislatures in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention.”

On the 4th of March, 1789, the day which had been fixed for commencing the operations of Government under the new Constitution, it had been ratified by the conventions chosen in each State to consider it, as follows: Delaware, December 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, December 18, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, June 21, 1788; Virginia, June 25, 1788; and New York, July 26, 1788.

The President informed Congress, on the 28th of January, 1790, that North Carolina had ratified the Constitution November 21, 1789; and he informed Congress on the 1st of June, 1790, that Rhode Island had ratified the Constitution May 29, 1790. Vermont, in convention, ratified the Constitution January 10, 1791, and was, by an act of Congress approved February 18, 1791, “received and admitted into this Union as a new and entire member of the United States.”

Note 2: The part of this Clause relating to the mode of apportionment of representatives among the several States has been affected by Section 2 of amendment XIV, and as to taxes on incomes without apportionment by amendment XVI.

Note 3: This Clause has been affected by Clause 1 of amendment XVII.

Note 4: This Clause has been affected by Clause 2 of amendment XVIII.

Note 5: This Clause has been affected by amendment XX.

Note 6: This Clause has been affected by amendment XXVII.

Note 7: This Clause has been affected by amendment XVI.

Note 8: This Clause has been superseded by amendment XII.

Note 9: This Clause has been affected by amendment XXV.

Note 10: This Clause has been affected by amendment XI.

Note 11: This Clause has been affected by amendment XIII.

What, you were likely asking yourself a moment ago, would prevent an illegal alien from becoming a Notary Public in Georgia? The law? Nope. Common sense? Uh-uh.

Answer? Nothing…the requirements for becoming an illegal alien below, from the folks who regulate such matters. See more here.

What are the qualifications to become a notary in Georgia?
An applicant must be at least 18 years of age, a resident of the state of Georgia (or, if a nonresident, must reside in a state bordering Georgia and carry on a business or profession in Georgia or be regularly employed in Georgia), and a resident of the county in which he or she applies. Applicants must be able to read and write the English language.

FAST FACT: IN GEORGIA, ONE CAN BE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN…AND A NOTARY PUBLIC!

Yes..it is true. Handy for fake documents, just get another illegal alien to notarize yours!

Georgia Notary law here.

From the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority ( Here)
ABOUT NOTARIES PUBLIC
Information about and for Notaries

In 1997, the Authority was asked by the Georgia Secretary of State to begin maintaining the central database of notaries public. This project contains the following elements:
maintenance of a central database of all active notaries public (approximately 160,000);
renewal notification to all notaries regarding their commission expiration; and,
issuance of apostilles and notary certifications.
The Authority was recognized in 1998 by the U.S. State Department as the only agency, outside of a Secretary of State office, to issue Apostilles (certifications of public documents for use in a Hague Convention Treaty country). The usual turn-around time for processing a request for an Apostille in other states is several days or longer. In Georgia, through the Authority, the turn-around time, if the request is mailed, is usually one day. If documents are hand delivered, processing time is usually same day service, depending on time of arrival and number of documents, and in most cases less than fifteen minutes.

Start here.

Then go here, ( It’s a little slow)… which will take you here for the application for Notary Commissions.

Ummm, NOW do you want to call your State Senator and Representative?

This news from FOX:

America to Blame for Illegal Aliens Turning to Crime, Latino Advocate SaysWednesday, January 10, 2007

Americans are to blame for some illegal immigrants becoming serial crooks because “they’re picking up those bad habits of cheating, of drinking and drugs,” according to an official of a prominent Latino advocacy organization.

Jesse Diaz of the League of United Latin American Citizens made the claim on Monday during an interview on Dallas talk radio station KRLD, and then repeated them on Tuesday to WFAA-TV.

Diaz was discussing a federal study of 100 illegal immigrants with arrest records. The study found they had each been arrested and released six times on average.

• Monitor the disorder on the border at FOXNews.com’s Immigration Center.

When questioned about how living in America is responsible for them becoming serial lawbreakers, Diaz stood by his remarks, arguing that conservative Catholic values learned in Mexico start to break down once immigrants are in the U.S.
