Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is issuing the following statement today in
support of the group NCFIRE and the Tea Party groups that plan to protest the
decision of Concord High School to aid and abet illegal aliens by allowing the
Mexican consulate to issue bogus ID cards to illegal aliens on the morning of
Saturday September 25.

The protest will be outside Concord High School
8-12am at 481 Burrage Rd (The intersection of Miramar St NE and Stadium Dr NE)
in Concord, NC. The purpose of the protest is to raise awareness of citizens
that Concord High School is using taxpayer resources to help illegal aliens
obtain bogus ID needed to remain unlawfully in the US.

"It is a
violation of Federal law to aid illegal aliens in America and only illegal
immigrants need the matricula consular cards issued by the Mexican government to
their citizens at these kinds of events," said William Gheen, President of
ALIPAC. "Legal immigrants and American citizens do not need these bogus
matricula cards and a taxpayer funded High School is an improper location for
Mexico to aid illegal aliens. It sets a very bad example for our school
children."

ALIPAC feels that the actions of the Concord High School and
Mexican Consulate constitute violations of Section 8 USC
1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act. This
Act clearly states it is a violation of Federal law applied to anyone who
"conceals, harbors, or shields from detection" or "encourages or induces an
alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless
disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in
violation of law" or "aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts"

"Concord High School is taking advantage of our unenforced Federal
immigration laws. Since illegal aliens are the only people in America that
really need a matricula card, it is clear that Concord High School will be
aiding and abetting illegal aliens that need bogus ID documents to remain
unlawfully in the US at this event," said William Gheen. "We hope Concord High
School will follow the example set by the Cumberland County Community College
and cancel this event."

NCFIRE (North Carolinian's For Immigration
Reform and Enforcement) , led by James Johnson, has called for a protest to be
held outside of Concord High School on Saturday September 25, from 8-12am.
Attendees are encouraged to bring American, North Carolina, and Gadsen flags
only along with tasteful signs and banners. Several other NC groups including
many Tea Party groups are now supporting the protest.

ALIPAC is
circulating information about the planned protest and ALIPAC's President,
William Gheen, hopes to attend to show his support for NCFIRE's efforts and his
opposition to bogus ID cards being issued to illegal aliens in American High
Schools.

ALIPAC will also request that members of the Concord police
department and the Cabaruss County Sheriff's department set up a license
checkpoint near the School Saturday morning since there is strong reason to
believe that illegal immigrants will seek the services offered at the school and
NC and surrounding states have recently taken steps to prevent illegals from
having driver licenses.

"We want to know if the illegal aliens attending
this event are still getting licenses and tags in NC or from nearby states,"
said William Gheen. "We hope the local police will conduct a license check to
make sure that everyone coming and going from Concord High School is sober and
properly licensed." We also want more police on hand Saturday due to the
statistical increased risk of criminal behavior by illegal aliens documented in
other states, and because some of those seeking bogus ID from Mexico may be
fugitives seeking new identities and alias's."

Matricula ID cards are
not issued in Mexico. The Mexican government dispenses them to Mexican citizens,
legal and illegal, inside the US. Few background checks or verifications are
done and the ID is so bogus that even Mexican banks refuse to accept the
Matricula as a valid form of ID.
