Our voices are being shouted down by the hate and race-directed rhetoric of those who do not appreciate the laws of our country. We give voice to those without a voice and those whose opposition to illegal immigration is drowned out by illegal aliens and their supporters marching in the streets demanding undeserved "rights" of U.S. citizens.

We are standing together to say to the those who come here illegally and those who would give amnesty to those who have broken our laws, you are wrong and you should not be claiming to speak for us Americans.

Our principles are simple:

1. All immigration should be legal

   Illegal immigration hurts everyone, while carefully planned legal immigration helps. We believe in stopping illegal immigration and securing the national and economic future of our nation.

   Illegal aliens from any country should never be rewarded with benefits or privileges

2. Becoming an American citizen is a unique and wonderful privilege.

   The legal route to becoming a citizen is not easy and requires patience and hard work. Those who break the law and come illegally should not be granted any benefits or privileges. No driver's license, no welfare benefits, no free health care, no in-state tuition - simply put . . . no local, state or federal benefits!

3. No amnesty - no way!

   Amnesty is rewarding people who break the law. From past experience we have learned that granting amnesty only leads to increased illegal immigration. Those here illegally are taking advantage of our compassion. We say No Amnesty-No Way!

   Secure our borders now and fully enforce immigration laws

4. Crack down on illegal immigration

   The best way to stop the flow of illegal immigration coming across our borders is to build a high security fence along the length of our southern border where the majority of illegal traffic takes place. We must also vigorously enforce our existing immigration laws. Local and state law enforcement should be free to enforce immigration laws. Employers who hire illegal workers should be heavily fined and if a pattern of practice is established their owners/corporate officers should be fined and jailed for the offenses and the corporate charter revoked. Identification documents must be limited and strong security measures like biometrics applied to documents of foreign workers. American citizens driver's licenses are now secured by the Real ID Act, non-citizens should be required to present documents not susceptible to fraud and counterfeit, and include biometric security measures - especially for work purposes.

5. Learn and speak English

   Learning the language of this country is the very least an immigrant can do. Learn and speak English. Learn the history of this country. Learn the Constitution and civics. Learn and practice the principles that make America the greatest country in the world.

6. What We Are Doing

   CCFIILE is a nonpartisan group of concerned citizens committed to reasonable and effective immigration reform through direct action and public education. We produce two local cable access programs one called CCFIILE Illegal Immigration Chat and the other The Weekly Show with Jim Rizoli that exposes what is going on with illegal immigration locally and how damaging it is to all Americans. Please support the cause of CCFIILE by contacting your local town officials and State Representatives telling them how you feel about it. By doing so, you are holding on to the last vestige of American freedom and standing tall against those that would try to pull our great country down.

   Our website is CCFIILE.ORG, most of our latest shows can be found there.
