Dear Friend,
FAIR is on the front lines right now and I hope you're paying attention to Arizona. I'm writing you this urgent email to ask you to give generously to FAIR to help defend Arizona SB 1070 and law-abiding residents of Arizona.
Please take a moment to consider the implications of what's going on.
Right now, state legislators and the state's governor are being hammered for their courage in standing up in defense of America's borders and enacting a solid foundation for secure state-federal cooperation in immigration enforcement.
The full weight of the Obama Administration has now been put into high gear to try to crush this new law. Everyone from Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Hollywood celebrities is vowing to economically strangle Arizona's economy.
And all of the opposition is geared toward demanding congress enact a disastrous mass amnesty bill the legacy of which the country will be dealing with for years to come.
SB 1070 is a good bill. I should know. We and our legal affiliate, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, had a hand in developing the language based on years of expertise and experience to ensure it would survive court challenge. The law "takes the handcuffs" off local police to work with federal authorities in enforcing U.S. immigration law. This law is both constitutional and effective.
Why did Arizona take this bold action?
Arizona is in an immigration crisis:
Half of illegal crossings into the U.S. occur along the Arizona-Mexico border.
Phoenix is now the number one city for kidnapping in the U.S -- and number two in the world.
Drug gang violence is growing much worse in northern Mexico and spilling over the border.
Over the last several years, a record number of stash houses for illegal immigration and drugs have been uncovered in Arizona.
In Phoenix, there are violent battles between the end drug distributors for the various drug cartels.
