Judicial Watch Launches National Campaign on Illegal Immigration

The illegal immigration debate could not be any
hotter. While JW was protecting the rights of Maryland citizens to stop
tuition breaks for illegal aliens in Maryland, on October 14, a federal
court blocked provisions of Alabama’s new tough illegal immigration
enforcement law from taking effect — at the urging of the Obama
Department of Justice (DOJ) — while allowing other provisions to be
enforced. At the same time, Arizona’s illegal immigration enforcement
law, SB 1070, is expected to go before the U.S. Supreme Court soon
(Judicial Watch currently represents the Arizona State Legislature in
court and recently filed an amicus curiae brief with the High Court,
which began its current term on October 3).

In the midst of this firestorm, Judicial Watch took aggressive action,
launching a national television advertising campaign to combat illegal
immigration. The purpose of the campaign is to collect petitions from
the American people to send to the governors of all 50 states, urging
them to obey and enforce all laws against illegal immigration. This
campaign to encourage our nation’s governors to stand strong on illegal
immigration law enforcement has become more urgent now that the Obama
DOJ has decided to sue states for merely trying to protect their
citizens from the scourge of illegal immigration.

But it’s not just the federal government that is to blame. Some states
have decided to side with the illegal aliens, rolling out the welcome
mat for illegal aliens through costly and unlawful sanctuary policies.
That’s why we’re going national with this petition campaign. The
petition campaign is being driven by a series of television
advertisements that began broadcasting this week in California, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, as well as nationwide on Fox Business News
(FBN) and the Military Channel.
