ALIPAC and William Gheen Exposed

For several years now, Immigration Clearinghouse has been diligently working to expose the hypocrisy and fraud of ALIPAC and it’s president, William Gheen, and with some success.

Huge crowds march in solidarity of immigration reform and against Arizona's SB-1070

From California to New Yorks Long Island and from Chicago to Miami, hundreds of thousands to to the streets to show support for immediate immigration reform and their opposition to Arizona’s SB-1070, America’s version of apartheid. In Los Angeles, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck estimated that about 50,000 immigration rights activists participated in Saturday’s May Day rally. “All this was an estimate,” Beck said when asked about the department’s earlier projection. “These are educated guesses. We were unable to tell what the event in Arizona would do, so we estimated 100,000 people.”] Only one arrested was reported for a minor vandalism incident. “The event was peaceful,” Beck said. “Everyone who came out here was peaceful,” Beck said. “Everyone got MORE

“Thinking about traveling to Arizona anytime soon? We’ve got a better idea: Stay home,” says Maryann Sinclair Slutsky, director of Long Island Wins. Port Washington, N.Y.–In light of a recently passed anti-immigrant bill in Arizona—which will force immigrants to carry documentation of their immigration status at all times, and invite racial profiling by police—Long Island Wins is joining a nationwide call for a boycott of the state’s goods, services, and tourism. “The boycott isn’t just punishment for a piece of legislation that tramples on the civil rights of Arizona residents,” said Maryann Sinclair Slutsky. “It’s for everyone’s own safety.” On Friday, Republican Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law, authorizing the farthest-reaching anti-immigrant legislation ever passed by a MORE
