My wife and I recently spent an evening assisting more than 600 people in families racked by unemployment and poverty.

How many Americans have to lose their jobs before they are given priority over illegal aliens and the outlaw companies that hire them?

A Boulder, Colo. cleaning company is suing because of lost business to two companies that they claim hire illegal workers. Dustbusters filed a lawsuit against Longmont’s Finishing Touch Janitorial Services and Loveland’s Porter Industries after losing city contracts, including one to clean the public library.
