There is evidence that noncitizens
are being registered and casting votes, but due to the laxity in checking the eligibility
of registrants and voters the full extent of the problem is not known. One of the most
extensively documented cases of illegal voting was in California in 1996. Loretta Sanchez,
a Democrat, defeated Republican incumbent Robert Dornan by 984 votes. Dornan called for an
investigation of alleged illegal voting by noncitizens. According to Congressional
Quarterly, a Washington, DC newspaper that focuses on developments in Congress, "Task
force Chairman [U.S. Representative] Vernon J. Ehlers, R-Mich., said investigators had
found concrete evidence of 748 illegal votes by noncitizens, not enough to throw Sanchez's
victory into doubt."
A lack of attention to the phenomenon of noncitizen voting and a failure to impose
penalties against those who cast votes fraudulently has rendered laws against such
activity meaningless. It is a federal crime to vote illegally. However, in all cases that
have been documented of illegal voting in recent years there apparently has never been a
prosecution and, therefore, no penalty has been assessed.

Lou Dobbs Interview - June 17, 2004
Casey Wian (CNN): "Congressman Kolbe said that 155,000 people had been apprehended
along the Arizona border in the first three months of this year."
Rep. Kolbe (to McCain): "That's about right, sir."
Sen. McCain: And they figure about one out of four or five are apprehended?"
Rep. Kolbe: "That's right."
Sen. McCain: "So, if you extrapolate those numbers, say 150,000 times four, that
would be about 650,000 people attempting or crossing in just a three month period...that
would be two million four hundred thousand in one year." More Illegal Alien News
Homeland Security Farce - First Clinton - now Bush and Ridge ignore the scourge. Do they fear backlash and Loss of Hispanic Votes? Are they ignorant of the
laws on the books already.
March 2005 - The main
mission of The Minuteman Project is to bring national attention to the fact that the U. S.
Federal Government is not fulfilling its mission to protect American citizens from the
economic and physical danger of porous borders. The majority of peace loving Americans are
concerned about the massive amounts of unscreened, undocumented aliens walking right into
our country. Another fear that lurks in the dark corners of our minds is another 9-11
attack, or worse, a suit case bomb. Minutemen Civil Defense Patriots
Archive News- 2002 At least 43 people have joined the Citizens Border Patrol militia
since the front page call to arms appeared in the Tombstone Tumbleweed under a headline
that read "Enough is Enough!" - and support continues to grow, said Chris
Simcox, a former California teacher who is now owner, publisher and editor of the
Tombstone weekly. Web Site
Simcox isn't shy about using the words "vigilante" and "militia" to
describe his plans. He sees both as a patriotic obligation in a time of war and a
necessity in light of the federal government's failure to stop the flood of immigrants
funneling through Cochise County. His plan is to put armed, able-bodied militia members on
private property near the border to create a presence and a deterrent to illegal border
crossers.
"This has nothing to do with the Mexican people per se. . . . It's
about stopping uncontrolled immigration," he said. "We want local people, we
don't want the Rambos, the mercenaries and soldiers of fortune that some of these groups
seem to be made up of."
Cochise County Supervisor Paul Newman, who represents the Tombstone area on the county
Board of Supervisors said the county has no authority or desire to interfere with the

2- 2004- Homeland Security Chief, Tom Ridge
said: "As a country we have to come to grips with the presence of 8 to 12
million illegals, afford them some kind of legal status some way. We have to
decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it."
The number of illegal aliens in the U.S. grows daily with estimates ranging from 8 million
to 20 million. The U.S.Border Patrol reports over 1,200,000 apprehensions of Illegals on
Mexico-US border in 2004 alone and 36% were previously apprehended.

obtained records showing that since the Sept 11, 2001, terror attacks, agents from the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency have stopped hundreds of nationals from
countries considered a national security threat, including Syria, North Korea and Iran.
Those numbers indicate that thousands more from suspect nations made it across the border.

Arabs have been reported crossing the Arizona border for an
unknown period. Border rancher George Morgan encounters thousands of illegals crossing his
ranch on a well-used trail. He relates a holiday event: "It was Thanksgiving and I
stepped outside my house and there were over a hundred 'crossers' in my yard. Damnedest
bunch of illegals I ever saw. All of them were wearing black pants, white shirts and
string ties. Maybe they were hoping to blend in," he chuckled. "They took off, I
called the Border Patrol, and a while later, an agent let me know that they had caught
them. He said that they were all Iranians." Posted Oct 2001
