FoxValley Citizens for Legal Immigration

"It's not about race; it's about what's legal."

Mission Statement

We exist to mobilize the citizens of the Fox Valley (Illinois) in support of local ordinances and enforcement efforts that preserve and promote legal immigration, diffuse racial tension and misunderstanding, clarify proposed ordinances, support the efforts of courageous local leaders and encourage the assimilation of legal residents.

• We encourage elected officials and government agencies at all levels to enforce current immigration laws.
• We oppose racism. We support people who live and work in the United States who have a legal right to do so, regardless of race, color of skin or country of origin.
• We embrace those who respect our country enough to formally apply to come here and wait for the invitation to be admitted. As hosts, we have that right. People from all races, colors or countries who feel the same way about this issue are invited to join us.
• We seek to refute those who continue to inject race into this discussion. We believe doing so creates needless social tension and potential danger.
• We eschew violence. Our efforts are peaceful and law abiding.
• We demand our rights to free speech, peaceable assembly and to petition the Government for redress.
• We will work to educate the public as to the real meaning of proposals and ordinances.
• We will support courageous leaders who are willing to bring forth ordinances in support of legal immigration and enforcement of the law.
• We believe that assimilation has gone awry due to large numbers of people who are here illegally and institutions and individuals who have downplayed our rich American culture, heritage and language. We do not apologize for seeking to preserve the precious things that make the United States a grand Nation.
• We seek to help organize the efforts of others who feel the same way.
