Former NFL quarterback and current US Congressman Heath Shuler (D-NC) has thrown a long pass over the heads of Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts. Now we urgently need a firestorm of letters, phone calls, faxes, and emails to Congress to put a receiver in the end zone.
On November 6, 2007 Rep. Shuler introduced the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act in Congress as H.R.4088. Shuler explained:
America is a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. We should not reward those who come to our country illegally….

Providence is Rhode Island’s “sanctuary city.” The police chief, Dean Esserman, has refused to identify illegal immigrants for possible deportation, saying that aggressive enforcement would discourage illegal aliens from reporting crimes, either as victims or witnesses.

Gov. Don Carcieri pointed a finger Tuesday at Providence Mayor David Cicilline, saying the city’s lax attitude toward illegal immigrants is partly to blame for the alleged rape of a woman by an illegal immigrant.
