  1                                   A JOINT MEMORIAL
  2    TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED  STATES  IN  CONGRESS
  3        ASSEMBLED,  AND  TO THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION REPRESENTING THE STATE OF
  4        IDAHO IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.

  5        We, your Memorialists, the Senate and the House of Representatives of  the
  6    State  of  Idaho  assembled  in  the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-ninth
  7    Idaho Legislature, do hereby respectfully represent that:

  8        WHEREAS, Section 4, Article 4 of the United States Constitution  declares:
  9    "The  United  States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican
 10    form of government, and shall protect each of them against  invasion;  and  on
 11    application  of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature can
 12    not be convened) against domestic violence."; and
 13        WHEREAS, even conservative estimates of the number of  illegal  immigrants
 14    residing  in  the  United  States range from twelve million to twenty million,
 15    with some estimates as high as thirty million; and
 16        WHEREAS, the illegal entry into the United States by tens of  millions  of
 17    illegal  immigrants  approaches  ten  percent  of this nation's population and
 18    should be considered an invasion; and
 19        WHEREAS, the federal government has allowed this illegal immigration inva-
 20    sion to occur at an accelerating pace for the last several decades; and
 21        WHEREAS, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the  Security
 22    and  Prosperity  Partnership  of North America (SPP) are being used to nullify
 23    the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.
 24        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second  Regular  Ses-
 25    sion  of the Fifty-ninth Idaho Legislature, the Senate and the House of Repre-
 26    sentatives concurring therein, that we  emphatically  urge  and  petition  the
 27    President  of the United States and the Congress of the United States and par-
 28    ticularly the congressional delegation representing  the  state  of  Idaho  to
 29    honor  their  oath  of  office  to "support and defend the Constitution of the
 30    United States" by passing the necessary and appropriate legislation to resolve
 31    the illegal immigration crisis by:
 32        (1)  Securing our national borders;
 33        (2)  Stopping  illegal  immigration,  including  the  ending  of  economic
 34        incentives for illegal immigration;
 35        (3)  Ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants; and
 36        (4)  Rejecting any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
 37        BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED  that the Secretary of the Senate be, and she is
 38    hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this Memorial to the Pres-
 39    ident of the United States, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the
 40    House of Representatives of Congress, and the congressional delegation  repre-
 41    senting the State of Idaho in the Congress of the United States.
