-Caveat Lector- For an immigration time-out: http://www.projectusa.org/ Iowa governor blames ProjectUSA for resistance to mass immigration Issue 81: July 7, 2001 +== TIME OUT PROJECT ==+ In response to questions about the widespread resistance to his plan to import cheap labor from poor countries, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack said that "groups such as Project USA exploit the 'issues to advance their own political agenda.'" (Des Moines Register, July 5, 2001) The organized resistance to mass immigration in Iowa predates ProjectUSA, of course, but in one way, the governor is right. From its inception in May, 1999, ProjectUSA's primary goals have been to raise the immigration issue in open public debate, de-link it from the issues of race and diversity, and inform Americans of simple Census Bureau statistics on mass immigration. Until very recently, most news stories about immigration failed to mention explosive population growth, or mass immigration's negative impact on the environment and working Americans. Instead, they consisted of enthusiastic accounts of increased "diversity," or of heart-rending tales of the struggles of individual immigrants. But Americans deserve to have the basic facts if our democracy hopes to craft a wise immigration policy. We should not, through fear, apathy or ignorance, condemn the next generation to an overcrowded, polluted and, very possibly, balkanized nation. Iowans fight immigration http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c4780934/15209627.html Charges of racism cloud immigration arguments http://www.csmonitor.com/durable/2001/06/25/p17s1.htm +== TAKE POSITIVE ACTION ==+ Mass immigration promoters in Iowa are in full retreat. Less than two years ago, Governor Vilsack was irresponsibly proclaiming Iowa the new Ellis Island and advocating Iowa put itself above U.S. immigration limits. Today, supporters of the governor's scheme are backpedaling furiously. In a June 26 Mason City Globe Gazette editorial, the chair of the Mason City New Iowans Committee, Lori Henry, pointedly assured concerned residents that the $50,000 grant to Mason City for the governor's pilot program will have nothing to do with importing foreigners. And at a City Council meeting July 3rd, she went further, promising that the money will only go for things like Welcome Wagons. (At ProjectUSA, we can't wait to see what a $50,000 Welcome Wagon looks like. We offer some suggestions: http://projectusa.org/mason_city_welcome_wagon.html) We see the change in Iowa as proof that mass immigration, while popular with the cheap labor lobby, the professionally ethnic, the immigration lawyers and some racists, is very unpopular with the American people themselves. This is particularly true when people learn that immigration, if Congress does not act, will double U.S. population within the lifetimes of today's children. You can contact your Representatives and tell them it is time for our nation to end the shameful and irresponsible practice of harvesting the cheap labor of poor countries.

Voltaire +==EMAIL OF THE WEEK==+ Our Governor was here at the Clear Lake celebration, rode in the parade (35,000 spectators) and spoke. Janice drove the Truthmobile in the parade and was well received. She handed out some of your surveys [http://projectusa.org/States/IA/iowa-immigration.html#survey] and any other literature she could find to give to people since they seemed to come up and want whatever she was giving out. She was treated "royally" by all the people on the parade route. All this on July 4th.
