Illegal Alien Election Impact Survey

A National Opinion Poll on whether the Obama Administration is

putting the integrity of our electoral process at risk by allowing

illegal aliens to remain in the United States.

Help STOP the corrupt Obama political machine from enacting

BACKDOOR AMNESTY for illegal aliens. . . and stealing the

2014 Elections!

Dear Fellow American,

[3-2013 letter] I am personally inviting you to participate in the [requested] enclosed Illegal Alien Election Impact Survey regarding the Obama administration's scheme to unilaterally ignore our laws against illegal immigration and potentially, to steal the 2014 elections!

I also ask you to sign the [requested] enclosed Petition to House Speaker John Boehner demanding he not support any immigration measure that grants amnesty to illegal aliens; and instead,

That he stand firm for strict enforcement of our current federal laws.

This is a very serious and urgent matter, so please hear me out...

I firmly believe the integrity of our 2014 elections...including the election of all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and one-third of the members of the U.S. Senate...is under assault by a corrupt Obama political machine that will do whatever it takes to win elections for its leftist allies and supporters and...

One key component of their plan is to generate more votes than ever from the Hispanic community (whether cast by eligible voters or not)...

And so nothing is higher on Obama's priority list than granting amnesty to illegal aliens — by passing legislation through Congress (the front door), or lawlessly through "executive actions" (the back door)!

The front door now appears highly unlikely so, incredibly, President Obama and his supporters are not hiding their unlawful and sleazy schemes to go through the backdoor. Far from it!

· Even the liberal Washington Post reported on the Obama administration's "non-enforcement" of immigration law, and the fact that this policy caused a revolt among career Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and one of its key unions.

· And a leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security made headlines when it argued in favor of administrative action... "A bold administrative program would transform the political landscape using administrative measures to sidestep the current state of Congressional deadlock and inertia."

That's beyond outrageous! And that's why your participation in our Illegal Alien Election Impact Survey and your signed Petition to House Speaker Boehner are so urgently important!

The Obama administration is advancing its amnesty plans by ignoring the Constitution, bypassing Congress and the American people and enacting regulatory changes to benefit millions of illegal aliens currently in our country...and this is what we know as "backdoor amnesty."

Don't just take my word for it! Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX), former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has charged that "...the Obama administration is cooking the books to make it look like they are enforcing immigration laws, when in reality they are enacting amnesty..."

He added this "...President Obama and his administration continue to.-.us,-- executive branch authority to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. " and "It is outrageous that they have put illegal immigrants and their liberal political base ahead of the American people."

Judicial Watch investigators have uncovered a mountain of "smoking gun" evidence from the Obama Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies that show how this power-hunger, ideologically-driven administration has been orchestrating their schemes to grant amnesty by...

· Suspending deportation proceedings against million of illegal aliens;

· Granting special amnesty for the (mostly adult) children of illegal aliens; and

· Issuing White House orders to the Obama Justice and Homeland Security Departments and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to exercise "prosecutorial discretion" and other "administrative measures" to undermine enforcement of our immigration laws.

Other documents we forced the Homeland Security Department to release to us through our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit also proved they're bulldozing forward with implementation of their so-called "DREAM" Act, which is providing amnesty for over one million illegal aliens and will cost U.S. taxpayers billions more dollars.. .despite the fact that the "DREAM" Act had repeatedly failed to pass Congress!

No administration in my memory has shown such contempt for the U.S. Constitution, the separation of powers, the American people, and the rule of law!

And believe me...as these amnesty schemes by the Obama administration take hold, it will become easier and easier to insinuate "undocumented" individuals into voting booths this November! That's not all...

We forced the Obama Department of Housing and Urban Development to release documents to us that show taxpayer dollars are still flowing to offshoots of the sleazy ACORN organization (in possible violation of federal law).

You probably remember ACORN...many of its operatives were convicted of criminal charges in several states related to voter fraud in the 2008 elections. One of ACORN's most frequent abuses of election law was to submit voter registration forms for ineligible voters, including illegal aliens.

Clearly, the Obama administration wants the ACORN network to be fully funded and ready to engage in its trademark voter registration fraud in this year's elections! And the Obama gang's schemes only get worse!

The corrupt, politically-driven Obama Justice Department has filed lawsuits against the states of Texas and North Carolina over their new voter ID laws...commonsense laws designed to reduce ACORN-style voter fraud.

Voter ID laws help make sure that only eligible voters...not felons, not dead people, and certainly not illegal aliens...are allowed to vote. It's a fact that non-citizens cast fraudulent ballots in U.S. elections.

In 2005, the Government Accountability Office found that perhaps three percent of 30,000 persons called for jury duty from voter registration rolls in a single U.S. district court were not American citizens...that's 900 non-citizen potential voters out of only 30,000!

Yet, the Obama Justice Department routinely goes to court to block voter ID laws from taking effect, because they don't want any "barriers" erected that will block illegal aliens from voting in this year's election!

In response, Judicial Watch went to court in support of North Carolina's voter ID law. In 2012, we forced election officials in Florida, Missouri, and West Virginia to clean voter rolls of ineligible voters, and in Pennsylvania and South Carolina we defended voter ID laws in court. We recently reached an historic settlement with election officials in Ohio that will result in cleaner voter rolls, and less opportunities for voter fraud, in 2014 and in 2016.)

You see, the connection between the Obama administration's failure to enforce our laws against illegal immigration, its push for amnesty, and its persistent efforts to stop states from enforcing measures that guarantee election integrity is clear as day...

They want to be able to steal the 2014 elections for their leftist supporters and allies, and corruptly and permanently tilt the electoral processes in our nation in favor of leftist candidates.

It's true that Judicial Watch does not endorse or oppose candidates for public office. We are proudly conservative but completely non-partisan. We have sued corrupt Democratic and Republican politicians (and there are plenty in both parties).

BUT WE PASSIONATELY BELIEVE THAT OUR ELECTIONS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED HONESTLY, OPENLY, AND BY THE LETTER OF THE LAW. And the law is clear...

Voting is a highly valued right and serious responsibility of American citizenship. Illegal aliens are not eligible to vote in American elections. It's as simple as that.

Yet as I believe I've made clear here, the Obama administration is not only committed to granting amnesty to illegal aliens...they are also committed to making it as easy as possible for them to vote in the 2014 elections!

Now, you know as well as I do that in addition to showing basic respect for the rule of law, there are many arguments for strictly enforcing our immigration laws...

But few are more powerful than the integrity of our electoral process and the financial impact on you and other state and local taxpayers for failing to do so.

The cost of providing social, medical, law enforcement and educational services to illegal immigrants from every level of government is estimated to be an astounding $113 BILLION per year!

That's right: Without considering other national sovereignty, security and quality of life issues — local, state and federal government services to illegal immigrants are potentially costing each of us thousands of dollars every year in taxes.

Under any circumstances, granting amnesty to illegal aliens would be a disaster for America. It rewards illegal behavior, shows contempt for the rule of law, and is a slap in the face to the millions of people around the world who line up and play by the rules to enter America legally.

Even talk of "amnesty" acts as a magnet for even more illegal immigration... putting even greater financial stress on already-strained state and local budgets! This Obama administration scheme must not be allowed to succeed!

I urge you to participate in the [requested] enclosed Illegal Alien Election Impact Survey regarding these disastrous schemes to put millions of illegal immigrants on a "pathway to citizenship" or, more candidly, on a pathway to illegal voting!

This Impact Survey and its findings could help derail these sleazy Obama administration amnesty schemes! Your input now will help provide Judicial Watch with real-life opinions from your state about granting BACKDOOR OR FRONTDOOR AMNESTY to millions of illegal aliens...and on the current impact of illegal immigration on our pocketbooks, our state and local governments and the honesty of our elections.

Your answers will be used to apply high heat to the Obama administration to strictly enforce federal immigration laws (thereby reducing our tax burden and protecting the integrity of our elections).

I also ask you to sign the [requested] enclosed Petition to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) demanding that he use the power of Congress to keep the administration in check.

Clearly the Obama gang is working to get to amnesty with or without a fight on Capitol Hill...and if there was ever a time for members of Congress to push back, stand firm for the Constitution and the rule of law, this is it!

We must call the Obama gang on this politically-driven, immoral amnesty scheme and we must also tell Speaker Boehner and Congress in no uncertain terms that they must do their duty to stop this Obama power grab. That's what your answered Survey and signed Petition will help us do!

Remember: this is the president who has vowed to use "his pen and his phone" to push his radical agenda! He says so what if amnesty makes a mockery of the rule of law?

So what if even talk of amnesty guarantees a spike in illegal border crossings and attendant increases in crime and drug violence?

So what if more illegal aliens will put even more unsustainable financial pressure on state and local governments?

And so what if amnesty will encourage illegal aliens to sneak into polling places and vote this November?

Remember, this is the Obama administration we're talking about! And here's what we know for sure about Barack Obama...

First, the president and his inner core of advisers are closely allied with hardcore left-wing, open borders groups like La Raza and the ACLU.

Second, they are relying on Hispanic voters...legal and illegal...to be a rock-solid voting bloc in favor of their leftist supporters and allies for years to come. And what better way to curry more favor with Hispanic voters than by granting BACKDOOR AMNESTY to millions of illegal aliens?

That's why the Obama administration is pushing hard for amnesty, either through a LEGISLATIVE deal with Congress or through questionable BACKDOOR administrative measures and outright unlawful executive actions!

Right now, the LEGISLATIVE deal in Congress appears to be dead, so the Obama gang believes that their BACKDOOR schemes are their next best bet. But not without a fight from Judicial Watch!

We've already launched numerous FOIA requests to government agencies for relevant documents about the administration's various amnesty schemes, and we've also been forced to file FOIA lawsuits when this secretive administration failed to comply with many of our lawful open records requests.

This investigative and legal one-two punch is what makes Judicial Watch unique.

You see, we not only work to get to the facts...we are also ready and able to go to court to fight for the rule of law! And that's what we have been doing for years with tremendous effect on behalf of enforcement of our federal laws against illegal immigration in cities, counties and states across America.

This is a critically important battle...for the rule of law, and for the future of our nation. And the truth is that President Obama has three more years to pursue his radical, Big Government agenda...but we're fully committed (and qualified) to fight this politically-driven Obama scheme to grant amnesty to illegal aliens to help with any efforts to steal the 2014 elections!

Now free from ever having to worry about his own election fortunes, he continues show his contempt for the rule of law and the people's right to know, while doing everything he can...legally and illegally...to turn America into a socialist state.

That's why Judicial Watch's unique work — researching, investigating, and litigating — is so critically important at this time.

And that's why, in addition to answering your Impact Survey and signing your Petition, I hope you will make a generous tax-deductible gift — for $35, $50 or even $100 or more — to Judicial Watch today.

Your best gift today will help me and our entire team challenge and stop the Obama administration's BACKDOOR AMNESTY plans.

Your contribution also help us fight to keep our elections honest, and help us support voter ID laws that fight voter fraud and help ensure that only citizens are permitted to vote!

Your support also helps fight public corruption wherever we find it, and help us maintain all our lawsuits, investigations and public education activities dedicated to fighting for government transparency and upholding the rule of law in our nation.

Please send what you can. A contribution any amount will be extremely helpful. We are regularly in court against taxpayer-funded government lawyers and well-funded leftist groups like the ACLU.

We simply cannot fight as effectively as we do against the deep-pockets of the federal government and billionaire-funded leftist groups without the generous help of patriotic American citizens like you.

We're confronted with an all-out effort by the lawless and ideologically-driven Obama administration to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

They don't care about amnesty's disastrous impact on our economy, or it's potential to undermine our electoral process, or the disrespect it shows for the rule of law. They only care about its political benefits.

So I urge you include your very best contribution to Judicial Watch today. Your full support is vital for us to deliver all the legal action, research, investigations and public education you and other Americans deserve from America's largest and most effective watchdog in stopping illegal immigration...and amnesty for illegal immigrants...dead in their tracks.

Sincerely,

Thomas Fitton

President

P.S. In addition to your participation in this Illegal Alien Election Impact Survey, I'm also counting on you to sign and return the [requested] enclosed Petition to House Speaker Boehner. We need to remind Congress that they have a duty to support strict enforcement of existing immigration laws...and that means no amnesty!

P.P.S. And please — include your most generous, tax-deductible contribution! We are counting on you to help us stand firm for the rule of law and against the excesses of Barack Obama and other corrupt politicians (JW, P.O. Box 96234, Washington D.C. 20090-6234)!
