From the Desk of: Steve Elliott,
As you know, Congressman Duncan Hunter has been amongthe strong advocates for the border fence and stoppingillegal immigration. That is why I want share with you my interview withHunter regarding his recent endorsement of Mike Huckabee. Go here to listen: http://www.firesociety.com/blog/107/22149/?src=111 Before I continue, please understand that Grassfire.org doesnot endorse or oppose candidates. In addition, I personallyhave not endorsed any candidate for president. ed, many citizens concerned about illegal immigrationhave rightfully had serious reservations about Huckabee'spast actions and the veracity of his current positions onthese issues. That's precisely why I wanted to hear fromCongressman Hunter.
I too wanted to know how he reconciledHuckabee's questionable record as governor on immigration withHuck's very strong campaign platform. + + Immigration Issues Heating Up I also asked Rep. Hunter about his new bill that seeks tooverturn the Hutchison amendment which was snuck into theomnibus spending bill just before Christmas and guttedthe Secure Fence Act. I told Rep. Hunter that Grassfire will soon be launching amajor grassroots campaign to overturn the Hutchisonfence-gutting amendment. Be watching for that in the coming week.
Mexico's Calderon in the U.S. today All this is happening while Mexican president Felipe Calderonis visiting the U.S. Why would he come in the middle of a hotlycontested primary election? One analyst says the trip is "tomake sure he puts Mexico on the next president's desk and eventry to shape the bilateral agenda." Of course, the mainstream media is trying to say immigration isnot such a big deal to Americans anymore -- that last summer'suprising against the amnesty bill was just a bunch of hot air. I think it's time once again to make all these guys feel the heat! Thanks for the stand you are taking. Steve Elliott, PresidentGrassfire.org P.S. I would enjoy getting your feedback regarding my interviewwith Duncan Hunter, and what he had to say. Go here to listen to the interview:

Mexico's President Calderon Tours U.S. Cities
Mexico's President Calderon Tours U.S. Cities To Promote Changes In U.S. Immigration Policy
There's another political campaign taking place across the United States this year, as Mexico’s President Calderon and Mexican Consulates in cities across America attempt to influence U.S. Immigration Policy.
"[W]e should have made (President Calderon) register as a lobbyist before he ever came into the United States, because, of course, that is what he is doing here. He is lobbying for an open-borders bill." Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) 2/12/2008
As Mexico's President tours cities across the U.S.,
FAIR wants all Americans know that he is here to campaign for changes in U.S. immigration laws.
PRESIDENT CALDERON'S FEBRUARY 2008 TOUR SCHEDULE

Mexican consulates stationed here in the U.S. are lobbying our local, state and federal governments to change U.S. immigration laws!
The Mexican consuls are working out of 47 consulate offices in the U.S. lobbying for illegal immigrants and operating sophisticated public relations campaigns.
The fact is they are directly engaging in American politics.
"Wherever there is a Mexican, that is Mexico"
Mexico's president Calderon September 2, 2007
Dallas Morning News, 10/4/2007
This blatant interference by the Mexican government in our
internal policy debate is something the Mexican government would never tolerate in its country.
We cannot allow another government to defend and promote the
interests of its people who have illegally entered our country
and broken our laws.
It's time for all Americans everywhere to join together and
DEMAND that Mexican Consular officials stop lobbying to
change United States policies and end this practice immediately!
Take Action Now!
Your action is needed immediately. So take a moment now to:
Contact your elected officials and ask them to get the State
Department to demand that Mexican consular officials stop
lobbying against U.S. immigration policy AND
Support FAIR's efforts to alert and inform all Americans about these
activities, and other attempts by pro-amnesty and open-border advocates to change U.S. immigration laws and reward illegal activity, with a generous
contribution.
Granting amnesty to illegal aliens has been the goal of open-border
advocate groups for many years. Now they have unified and enlisted the support of the Mexican government ... and here's what they're planning to do:
Create an anti-defamation league for illegal immigrants;
Increase spending by Mexican Consulates in the U.S., especially
in areas like North Texas where illegal immigration from Mexico has been overwhelming local towns;
Launch a media campaign aimed at undermining anyone who opposes
uncontrolled illegal immigration. (source: Dallas Morning News 10/4/2007)
The only way this scandal of the Mexican government interfering with American immigration policies and enforcement of our laws will be stopped
is the same way we stopped destructive amnesty legislation from
being passed in 2007 and the lack of U.S. government border security...
AMERICANS MUST DEMAND IT!
Thank you for your support!
