The Vernuccio Campaign is in solidarity with the people of Arizona in their effort to halt illegal immigration. "Immigration is essential to renew the American spirit, but illegal immigration is a threat to american soverignity, and is a crucial problem for state and local government budgets in all fifty states." Throughout the world, people seeking to make a new life want to come to the United States. Most play by the rules. But thanks to federal government policies designed to pander to pressure groups, Washington has failed to staunch the flow of illegal immigration. Due to this misfeasence, criminals have easily hidden among individuals and families merely attempting to better their living conditions, and these criminals are wrecking havoc across the nation, and particularly in the southwest. The Arizona law is an appropriate response to that problem. Here in New York, concerned organizations such as NY ICE have scheduled demonstrations to air their support for the people of Arizona. The latest one is scheduled for July 29, 11:30 a.m., at Foley Square in Manhattan. Contact progressrose@yahoo.com for details.
