COALITION SOUGHT TO FIGHT IMMIGRATION
By Margo Turner
Feb. 4, 2001

A national coalition of patriotic organizations and activists may be the key to dramatically reduce immigration in the United State, claims Joe McCutchen of Fort Smith, Ark., who proposes the formation of such a group.

The coalition would politically attack key members of Congress who refuse to see the necessity of immigration reduction, McCutchen said.

McCutchen, who has been involved in the immigration reduction movement for 25 years, has sent an open letter to leaders of many patriotic organizations and activists about his proposal to create USImpac-Coalition.

"None of us has the numbers or financing to influence Congress, but collectively we do have the right to vote in a block, flex our unified political might and politically destroy those who defy the Constitution, the integrity and the sovereignty of this nation," he wrote.

He pointed out that education is "a useful tool and will be a vital cog in the coalition, but should Congress not respond positively to our pleas, then attack to the jugular is the only means to success. USImpac-Coalition, with your help, will be the 'attack dog'."

McCutchen will present his proposal for USImpac-Coalition at a meeting on March 10 at the Radisson Hotel at the St. Louis Airport. The meeting will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The USImpac-Coalition will continue the work of Michigan Immigration PAC, known simply as MichImpac, according to McCutchen.

McCutchen formed MichImpac last year for one sole purpose--to defeat Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Mich) in the 2000 November election. Although he lost his re-election bid, Abraham was tapped as energy secretary by President Bush. According to McCutchen, Abraham is an advocate for virtually unconstrained immigration and the man responsible for gutting the Immigration Reform Act of 1986 and 1996.

McCutchen envisions a two-part immigration challenge for USImpac-Coalition.

The first half of the Immigration challenge is focusing on members of Congress about the "immigration invasion," McCutchen explained.

"We trust that, by the end of the next election cycle, the politicians in Washington will 'get the message' that they must not increase but significantly lower immigration levels or they will not get elected," he wrote in his open letter.

"The other half of the immigration challenge is telling what specific legislation we want killed, e.g. lottery, chain immigration, HI-B visas, citizenship for children born to illegals, and what legislation we want passed," he continued.

McCutchen believes that "nothing less than an immigration moratorium" will halt "a great and continuing mass immigration" to the United States. Recent figures from the Census Bureau show that 10 percent of the United States population is foreign born, he pointed out.

"We can have other disagreements on personality, policy, methods, numbers and a host of others, all of which can be resolved, but we must all be unshakable in the philosophy that under grids our nation--a control of the content, numbers and quality of our citizens," McCutchen wrote in the open letter.

"We only have to look out the window and down the street to see the marked deterioration of education, healthcare, environment, population, infrastructure and forced redistribution of our property," he continued. "This war on immigration, legal and illegal, is about saving American culture and this republic."
