Say "NO!" to Illegal Aliens Benefitting From the "New Americans Agenda"

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick publicly released his "New Americans Agenda" on November 17, 2009. The 45 page report contains 131 recommendations, all of which would benefit both the legal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of illegal alien residents of this state, summarized from "citizen input" obtained at contrived public meetings. The town meeting-like assemblies were organized by 10 community-based organizations, each of which is affiliated with or supported by SEIU/ACORN, working in concert with the Governor appointed Advisory Council for Refugees and Immigrants (GACRI). The so-called public meetings, attended by 1200 Massachusetts residents (representative of only .0185% of the state's population), solicited by the organizing groups, were not well publicized to the citizenry at large, if at all. Governor Deval Patrick is fervently promoting his "New Americans Agenda" absent the opinions of the vast majority of Massachusetts citizens who do not support funding, with their taxes, further entitlements for illegal aliens. He is clearly not only encouraging but supporting criminal intruders at great expense to the legal, taxpaying residents of our state. We object to being overlooked by our government in the process of polling public opinion on the subject of immigration, and oppose the "New Americans Agenda", specifically regarding the benefits and rights of citizenship it proposes be given to illegal aliens. With national unemployment hovering at 10% and families struggling to stay afloat in this economy, we must demand our elected officials put legitimate Americans first. The immigrant residents of Massachusetts (legal and illegal) are determinedly represented by multiple, vocal advocacy groups. Isn't it time the legal, taxpaying citizens of the state "Speak Up and Matter" by saying a resounding "NO!" to funding the "New Americans Agenda" with our taxes? Would you sign a petition, in opposition to the "New Americans Agenda", to be presented to the Governor and Legislators?
