Why They
Immigrate Illegally...
...And What It Means for the Rest
of Us
We call it the Illegal Immigration Problem but
that's not really accurate. Our problem is
with Economic Refugees who will dare anything to
take a place even at the bottom of the American
economic ladder. These are people who come
to our shores to Earn and then leave again, not to
stay and become citizens.
Our Border Protection laws are adequate if
they are respected, but that's not
happening. So we have to enforce them.
Since the problem is economic, though, there's
another side to it we also have to face.
Scofflaw Businesses are taking advantage of these
economic refugees to lower labor costs and
unfairly compete against companies that play
fair. So we have more laws to enforce
.
The costs of this problem become extreme as we
look at the effect on public budgets when social
services meant for citizens are offered to any and
all comers. We are a humanistic society and
our reflex is to help whenever we can. But a
time has come when we can't even help everyone who
is a US Citizen so we have to make the
distinction, just like every other country does at
its borders.
There are a number of ways in which the
Federal Government could assist other nations to
lessen the impact of economic refugees. They
have to be undertaken in the context of America
controlling its own costs first, though.
Then we will be able to open more jobs to our own
citizens and lower the cost to all of us for
providing the social safety net. Once the
economic aspects of this problem are addressed
we'll be free to look at real immigration and the
positive impact it will have on the health of
American Citizenship, just like it always
has.

Neighbors
& Friends,
Gradually the trickle of
economic refugees entering our country has
become a strong and steady flow. Over time
the number of non-citizens living here illegally
has grown to be 10% or more of our
population. This process has put the
Squeeze on all the rest of us, and it has done
so at a time when global economic decisions also
have us in a shop vise.
In this issue of the MZD2
Newsletter we will examine what's happened on
the illegal immigration front, what that's done
to us, and what we can do to resolve
it.
We will also ask for your help
in filling a job opening in this growing
campaign, and in getting ready to help with the
coming Lawn Sign campaign. So please Read
On and let me know your reactions when you're
done.
- Mark Zaccaria

Sign Locations
Needed
Beginning on Labor Day Weekend
the MZD2 Campaign will conduct an outdoor
advertising program that will carry through 'til
Election Day. The actual signs will be a
little smaller than this one: 18" X 24" for
residential use.
Do you have a home or apartment located on
a busy street? Would you help Mark's
campaign for congress by displaying a sign on
your lawn or on your porch or patio so passer's
by can see it?
If so, please contact Parker Lacoste,
Campaign Manager, and let him know. To
E-Mail Parker just Click Here
We have 20 cities and towns to cover.
Your help in finding locations for our signs
will be greatly
appreciated. |

HELP
WANTED
As Mark's Campaign for Congress grows, so
do its needs for specialized assistance.
Right now we need a person to fill the role of
Web Master and Videographer for the
campaign. It will be a PAID
POSITION. It can't be very highly paid,
though, so we're thinking of a college student
or even someone still in high school with the
technical orientation needed for the final push
to the Election. This could be a part time
position. It would be best if the new Web
Master lived in or near North Kingstown since he
or she will probably have to ride with Mark or
Parker to most of the video shoots.
Do you know someone who's Technically
Oriented, or Politically Oriented, or Both...
and who is available to assist in Mark's run for
congress?
If so, please let us know by E-Mail, or
have that person contact Parker Lacoste,
Campaign Manager, at parker@markz4ri.org.
Thank You for searching your own data banks
to think of someone who might fill the
bill!

By the way, on Saturday, July 26th, the
32nd Annual Save the Bay Swim was held. It
was my 10th consecutive entry in the event and I
made the 1.7 Mile crossing in 1 Hour and 20
Minutes. To do it I simply had to use the
same kinds of vigor, skill, and determination
that I've been applying all along to the task of
winning a seat in congress. To see some
pictures and get all the details, Click Here. |
