The latest hit piece on anti-illegal invasion woman trying to get
a ballot initiative passed .  This may not have been your edition of the
D-G, it was not in ours.  Thanks to Sharon for sharing.

 

Notice especially what the so-called Arkansas Friendship
Coalition had to say about illegals and the North American Union…gee, not hard
at all to see they represent the slave labor corporations/governments &
churches looting FUNDING/and against the pro-rule of law
constitutionalists/taxpayers.

 And
what is the difference between the PRESS and the MEDIA??  The Press used
to rely on carefully checked facts to help determine the truth.  The Media
is just an advertising medium.  Please check out the facts for
yourself.  THINK!

Aliens just the beginning, woman fears

Secure Arkansas chief sees danger in influx, aims to limit
noncitizens’ services

By Seth Blomeley

Sunday, May 18, 2008

JONESBORO
– Jeannie Burlsworth worries about a lot of things.

She
fears for her safety and her family since she became the leader of a drive to
ban illegal aliens from receiving certain state services.

“I’m
in a real struggle here,” she says. “This is evil. Thesepeople are a danger.”

She
also frets about America merging with Canada and Mexico, a superhighway “10
football fields wide” running from Mexico through Texas, and the United States
allowing part of Kansas City to become “sovereign Mexican territory.”

“There
will be a North American union,” she said. “We will lose our sovereignty. Our
constitution is in jeopardy.”

She
refuses to give out the names of her husband and other family members for fear
of what opponents in the illegal-alien debate may do. During an interview at a
Jonesboro coffee shop, she told her daughter-in-law to keep her name secret.

“I’ve
had death threats,” Burlsworth said. “Yes, sir.”

She
said a Hispanic person,someone she perceived as an illegal alien, told her “the
Chicanos are going to string me up and this kind of stuff.” She wouldn’t
describe the circumstances of the threat or even say where it happened, and she
said she didn’t file a police report.

“Yeah,
like they are prosecuting illegal aliens,” Burlsworth explained.

Burlsworth,
53, of Bryant is the chairman of the Secure Arkansas campaign, which is trying
to collect 61,974 Arkansas registered voters’ signatures on a petition by July
7 to qualify the proposed initiated act for the Nov. 4 ballot.

The
party primary elections, typically big days for collecting signatures for
ballot initiatives, will be Tuesday.

The
proposed law would make state agencies take affidavits in which people say they are citizens (not citizens but LEGAL aliens) before
they would be eligible for government benefits. The Department of Health, which
doesn’t ask for residency documentation before providing service, would be
affected.

Some
benefits that federal law requires, such as public school education, would be
allowed to continue for illegal aliens. Also allowed would be Medicaid-funded
prenatal care, which isn’t federally required but which the state has chosen to
provide since 2004.

Burlsworth
says she doesn’t know details of why certain things are allowed in the
initiative and why others aren’t, saying attorneys she wouldn’t identify helped
put it together.

During a speech  (Press Conference) last week outside the
CraigheadCounty Courthouse, in a thick Midwestern accent, she lamented the
increase in the Hispanic population in Arkansas since 1990.

“We
can’t take any more,” she said, her voice rising. “We need our borders secure.
We need an immigration policy. The citizens should be outraged in the stateof
Arkansas. I’m outraged to see our politicians have done nothing. Our
legislators need to get busy. We are being forced to subsidize illegal aliens,
and enough isenough. Our cup runneth over. I’m concerned about Arkansas being a
sanctuary state. We’ve got to put something in place, and if that’s wrong then
that’s just too bad. We’ve got to do something fast. Arkansas, you’ve got to
wake up.”

Few
people in Arkansas politics are familiar with Burlsworth, but some don’t like
her message.

Stacy
Sells of Little Rock, a public relations executive and a member of the Arkansas
Friendship Coalition, which opposes efforts to place further restrictions on
illegal aliens, said Burlsworth’s assertions don’t make sense.

“This
sounds like your classic conspiracy theory generated byfringe talk radio and
the Internet,” Sells said. “It seems rather
far-fetched to think that America is building a superhighway to import illegal
immigrants from Mexico into America or that Mexicans are trying to overthrow
the American government. (Check the
Internet for yourself) This is simply ludicrous. I have
serious concerns about any group or individual from this paranoid mindset
trying to establish state policy on a matter as important as this.”

State
Rep. Rick Green, R-Van Buren, who sponsored a law last year aimed at preventing
firms that contract with the state from hiring illegal aliens, said he knows
nothing about Burlsworth and has talked to her only once. But he likes that she
has gotten involved with the immigration issue.

Bryant
Police Chief Larry Coffman said Burlsworth is wrong to say that police won’t
arrest illegal aliens for criminal infractions of state law, such as making
threats.(Don’t
even get us started on this. No car tags, no insurance, disturbing the
peace, driver’s license, etc.)

“They
are held accountable just like anybody else,” he said.

Burlsworth
was born in Mountain Home. As a child, she moved with her family to Kansas
City, Mo. Her father drove a cement mixer. Her mother ran an employment agency.

She
dropped out of high school to get married and later worked at her mother’s
business “and that’s how I came to love people,” she says, “just interviewing”
people wanting jobs.

She
and her husband, who is in the insurance business, lived in Ohio and West
Virginia before returning to Arkansas in 2000 after the death of Brandon Burlsworth,
a former Razorback football player and her husband’s younger brother.

“He
was a good kid,” she said, holding back tears. “My husband was really grieving,
and he needed to get back home.”

They
lived in Hot Springs for a while, then Rogers, before moving to Bryant about
2004.

A
homemaker, she has two sons and two granddaughters. But she stays active
outside the home in the anti-abortion movement and traveled back to Kansas City
two years ago to help fight a ballot measure to expand stem-cell use. Her side
lost.

Burlsworth
voted for President Bush in the 2000 and 2004 elections but regrets it.

“He’s
one of the worst presidents I think we’ve ever had,” she says. “It doesn’t make
any sense for the commander in chief of the United States to go to Iraq and
fight a war and leave our borders unprotected. He should be protecting the
sovereignty of the United States. He has his own agenda. I don’t like it.”

This
election, she attended gatherings for Republican presidential candidate Ron
Paul but says she wasn’t a supporter and was only trying to get more
information. (She was invited to Ron Paul meetings to give information.)

She
says she has no problems with Hispanics, as long as they are in America
legally.

But
she says Hispanics who are illegal aliens don’t care about American values
andwould rather display the Mexican flag.

“We’ve
just about lost California,” she says.

Her
group raised $1,015 through April. It formed March 3 and didn’t get the
go-ahead from the attorney general’s office for a petition drive until May 8.

She
realizes she’s facing some tough odds, especially with alow turnout expected
for Tuesday’s election, meaning fewer people will be easily available for
canvassers.

Only
about a dozen people attended her rally
(press
conference) in Jonesboro on Wednesday followed by about five people in Rogers
on Thursday.

But
she says she has lots of volunteers, including about 25county coordinators.

“We
need to build momentum,” she says. “We haven’t had time to build momentum.
You’ve got to give it a try. We’re not going away.”

In
Jonesboro, she faced questions from potential supporters about why her proposal
allows state-funded prenatal care for illegal aliens.

Green,
the legislator from Van Buren, said he will likely support the Secure Arkansas
proposal but wishes it included more restrictions.

Burlsworth
acknowledged that the initiative “is not that strong” compared with what some
want.

She
said she hopes that if the Secure Arkansas initiative becomes law, the
Legislature will feel more confident to take additional action against illegal
aliens.

“People
can’t stand there like lambs to the slaughter,” she said.
