“Hold Their Feet to the Fire” 2013, Washington DC, April 16-17
Mark your calendars and attend this crucial FAIR event if you can. As you probably know, this is the annual event that Roger Hedgecock and other top radio talk show hosts and their listeners nationwide have been attending and supporting for many years to fight for increased border security and enforcement of our immigration laws.
This year will be crucial with the renewed push by establishment beltway politicians in both parties for mass amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens.
The event will be held at the Holiday Inn Hotel (2460 Eisenhower Ave.), Alexandria, VA on April 16 and 17. Discounted rooms will be available for event attendees. The hotel is conveniently located next to a Metro station and just a few miles from Reagan Airport. Attendees will also be able to lobby Congress at their offices on Capitol Hill during the two day event.
More details from FAIR soon.
Here is the report from last year’s event:

New Mexico Taxpayers Foot $717 Million Annual Bill for Illegal Immigration, Finds New Study by FAIR
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A new study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that illegal immigration costs taxpayers in New Mexico about $717 million annually. The average New Mexico household headed by a U.S. citizen bears an annual burden of about $1,000 to cover the costs associated with illegal aliens in the state.

If black Americans don’t wake up and realize what’s being done to them by this administration and their so-called black leaders, they could be displaced and become a permanent underclass in a nation that their forefathers helped build.
Now that we’re on the fast track to amnesty, black Americans will be targeted even more. The Democrats will never hold up their end of the bargain on securing the borders. Barack Obama and the Democrats have gotten all that they need from blacks. But most blacks don’t realize that Democrats now see them as expendable. The party doesn’t care about people; they only care about voting blocs.
If an amnesty plan should pass, it will be the nail in the coffin for black Americans. It will only embolden the Mexican Mafia and their predatory street gangs to escalate the war on black citizens. How unfortunate that the policies that are promoting the demise of black America (amnesty, unrestricted abortions, joblessness and gay marriage) are being deliberately implemented by the first black president!

A Texas-sized silence as immigration talks ramp up
AUSTIN, Texas - With nearly 2 million illegal immigrants and a 1,200-mile border with Mexico, Texas has more at stake than most states in the renewed push to overhaul the nation’s immigration system.
Yet so far, Gov. Rick Perry and Republicans who control the Legislature have been sitting this debate out.
They’re not resurrecting dozens of contentious immigration bills that roiled the statehouse in 2011. They’re not making the rounds on TV and radio to talk about President Barack Obama’s plan for legalizing immigrants. They’re not even saying the word “immigration.”

…Thursday, the Dallas News reported:
Three grenades exploded Thursday evening in Nuevo Laredo, just feet from the U.S. Consulate office, sources in the Mexican border city said.
No injuries were reported, but the explosions rattled the neighborhood, as locals scurried for cover amid a firefight between what’s believed to be members of the Zetas criminal group and their former allies, the Gulf cartel, which is making a push to reclaim the territory.
The two groups appear to be battling, leaving a trail of killings and burned houses. In recent days, sources said, seven people have been killed — three of them Americans — and five homes torched.
The U.S. Consulate issued an alert, and Mexican soldiers were deployed to guard the building.
This is the second time in three years, an explosion has rocked the U.S. facility.
In April 2010, someone tossed an explosive device onto the grounds of the U.S. consulate in Nuevo Laredo. The bomb broke windows and caused some minor damage, but no injuries were reported.
Nuevo Laredo is just across the river from Laredo, TX.
In March 2010, U.S. consulate employees in Juarez were murdered in targeted attacks, after leaving a child’s birthday party.
In two separate attacks, cartel gunmen murdered two Americans attached to the consulate. Authorities believe that members of the Mexican drug gang known as the
Aztecas actually carried out the attacks.
Lesley Enriquez Redelfs, a consulate employee, along with her husband, Arthur Redelfs, a detention officer with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department were gunned down as they were leaving a child’s birthday party. The couple was murdered after being chased-down by the hit men. Their baby daughter who was in the backseat survived the assault.
Also shot to death in the coordinated attacks was the husband of consulate worker, Jorge Salcido Ceniceros, after gunmen boxed-in his car. His wife, Hilda Antillon, was traveling in the car behind him and was uninjured, though the couple’s two children were wounded in the attack.
The hit squads used AK-47s as well as 9mm handguns.
