June 25, 2005 -- It's one of the hottest political topics in America today -- Illegal Immigration. And it is sure to continue to be a hot-button topic until the problem is solved.
According to FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, one estimate is that as many as 11 million illegal immigrants are now in the U.S.
But now Adam Christing, a California small business owner, is aiming to help stop illegal immigration by auctioning off the website URL www.StopIllegalImmigration.com to the highest eBay
bidder. Christing will be donating 20% of the money generated by eBay sale of StopIllegalImmigration.com to the group Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC). Americans for Legal
Immigration supports the right of people to legally enter the U.S. (www.alipac.us)
According to William Gheen, the president of ALIPAC, "We support those that obey our laws and legally immigrate to the US. While at the same time 6 to 10,000 people walk right across the
border every night illegally and more must be done to address America's illegal immigration crisis."
Americans for Legal Immigration has a 4-point platform:
1. Secure U.S. borders.
2. Stop giving taxpayer benefits and incentives to illegals.
3. Crack down on employers who intentionally hire illegals.
4. Enforce our existing immigration laws when illegal aliens are arrested for crimes.
The bidding for domain: www.StopIllegalImmigration.com begins on eBay on June 25th and closes on July 4th. For more information about the website and the auction visit:
