A landmark conference on the cost and impact of illegal immigration -- iiiMPACT -- is scheduled in Wilmington for Friday, August 10, at the New Hanover County Northeast Regional Library Auditorium, and Saturday, August 11, at the Cape Fear Community Schwartz Center.
Jude Eden, Wilmington conservative community activist who is married to a legal immigrant, is a member of the event's steering committee. She commented on the meeting for USA DOT COM:
"There are schools that are closing in our country because children of illegal immigrants, who don't have a right to be there, are siphoning off money they we can’t afford, and there’s not enough then to go around. Legal American citizens are thus being of their rights. We know that illegal immigrants will go to the emergency room to get treated because they don’t have to pay – but we have to pay. These developments are costing us billions of dollars.
Illegals cause of unprecedented crime waves
"The illegal immigrants are also causing shocking crime waves that endanger us all. Obama says these are just decent, harmless working people. They don’t know really know this because there are no records on most of them except on the criminal dockets. There may be a lot of them who want a better life, but so do I. Still, I don't have the liberty to infringe on the rights of others. Further on crime, there’s the MS12, the dangerous Mexican gang. It’s active in nearby Jacksonville, N.C., as well as right here in Wilmington. That’s a scary thought. Drug cartels are operating literally right in our own North Carolina backyards. There are huge marijuana grow operations that these criminals are prepared to protect with violence and threat.

"The event is designed to educate the public about the impact of illegal immigration to our state. It’s going to cover some of what’s going on nationwide, but we find that many may not really know what the impact of illegal immigration is to them. Actually, North Carolina is spending $2.3 billion a year on services that are paid by taxpayers to these people. They’re getting paid under the table a lot of the time, and then they can claim they are not making anything. They’re getting welfare, they’re getting social security, they’re getting educational and medical benefits.Schools crowded due to children of illegals. Some close.

Most important issue at iiiMPACT -- protecting the vote
"When we got
together to talk about what were the top priorities we should deal with at the
iiiMPACT conference, we quickly identified that the most important thing that
should be protected is our vote. Millions of votes cast by citizens who are
properly registered are being nullified by illegal aliens who are not entitled
to register, but are permitted to do so anyway.
In NC, legal ballots being nullified by unlawful votes
In NC, legal ballots being nullified by unlawful votes
"Civitas did
a powerful expose that showed that people rejected from serving on jury duty
could turn right around and register to vote. That was in North Carolina. To me
that’s our most important issue. If our votes are not counting and are being
nullified by illegal, unlawful votes being cast by illegals. If we don’t have
our votes, we don’t have our sovereignty, and our voices being crushed and
distorted and muted. Voter fraud, voter ID issues and illegal immigration are
right up front in this important conference set for August 10-12. Public welcome, free of charge.
