WASHINGTON, April 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — While illegal aliens
and their supporters take to the streets to demand amnesty and other
benefits, ordinary Americans take to the radio airwaves to express
their anger at their government’s failure to enforce laws against
illegal immigration.

During the week of April 22, the radio airwaves of America, along
with hundreds of listeners from all across the country, are coming to
Washington, D.C., as part of the Hold Their Feet to the Fire event, to
make sure that the president and Congress hear them loud and clear.
Thirty-five leading talk radio hosts, reaching millions of listeners
all across the United States, will be broadcasting from a Capitol Hill
hotel, focusing on one topic — immigration enforcement — while
ordinary citizens fan out across Capitol Hill to meet with every member
of Congress.

The message from talk radio will be a simple one: Enforce our
nation’s borders; crackdown on employers who hire illegal aliens; end
all non-emergency benefits and services to illegal aliens. Above all
the message of Hold Their Feet to the Fire is, NO AMNESTY, NO NEW GUEST
WORKER PROGRAMS.

An ongoing audit of companies contracting with the military has turned
up nine undocumented workers employed by Classic Party Rentals, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.

According to the agency, the company has contracted with Miramar
Marine Corps Air Station. Five women and four men, all Mexican
nationals, were arrested yesterday morning at the company’s Mira Mesa
office and have been placed in removal proceedings.

All had presented false identification to obtain work, said ICE
spokeswoman Lauren Mack. The company was audited as part of Operation
Safe Cities, a federal program launched in late 2003 to check local
companies that contract with agencies connected to national security.

Arizona’s proof of citizenship in voting requirement upheld

By Howard Fischer

CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES

Arizonans are going to continue to have to present proof of citizenship to register to vote — at least for the time being.

Without dissent, a federal appellate court ruled Friday that a
3-year-old requirement for Arizonans to produce identification to
register to vote is not the same as an illegal "poll tax."

The three-judge panel rejected arguments that people will have to
spend money to obtain certain forms of ID to meet the legal mandate
that they prove U.S. citizenship. That, attorneys argued, effectively
made that a tax on voting, something the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
illegal.

But Mary Schroeder, chief judge of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, said that isn’t the case here.

"Voters do not have to choose between paying a poll tax and
providing proof of citizenship when they register to vote," she wrote
for the court.

"They only have to provide the proof of citizenship," Schroeder
continued. "Nor does Arizona’s new law make the affluence of the voter
or payment of any fee an electoral standard."
