Please go to your NumbersUSA Action Board this week and send a message to your U.S. Representative and President Obama that you strongly oppose amnesty for illegal aliens and any attempt to raise overall immigration numbers.

Lawmakers try to figure cost of illegal immigration in NC
Raleigh, N.C. — Various state agencies on Wednesday gave lawmakers their best estimates as to how much illegal immigrants cost North Carolina taxpayers.
More than 100 people packed the meeting room for the hearing by the House Select Committee on the State’s Role in Immigration – half in support of illegal immigrants and half who want the state to take action against them.
Lawmakers learned that trying to calculate the cost to taxpayers for services to illegal immigrants is not as easy as they thought. The only solid number presented to the two-hour hearing was the $1.3 million spent on emergency medical care.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials insist the two weren’t targeted because of Andiola’s activism.
Andiola say ICE agents told her there was a long-pending deportation order for her mother. Her brother was detained for refusing to answer agents’ questions.
