Police Chief Scimeca stated in the letter that until the Manasquan Police Department receives direction from the Monmouth County Prosecutors Office ( http://www.prosecutor.co.monmouth.nj.us/) the N.J. Attorney General’s Office or the federal government, it will continue to only enforce existing state and local laws that fall within Manasquan’s jurisdiction and within the police department’s ability to investigate.

Members of the United Patriots of America, a nonprofit organization against illegal immigration, have been holding demonstrations on Saturdays in the same area the day laborers stand every morning.

Most off the day laborers say the protesters are the reason many contractors have stopped coming to offer them jobs.

The protesters are members of the United Patriots of America, a nonpartisan organization. One of the group's organizers, Ted Mechnick, 58, of Wall said he and other protesters stand in the same area as the day laborers on Saturday mornings to express their concerns about illegal immigration.

The group's goal is "to educate people that our government has pretty much let us down with illegal immigration." Mechnick said. "They let it go too far."

However, Mechnick said his group's agenda is only to bring light to the issue of illegal immigration.

"I'm disappointed in our government," Mechnick said. "They just want to pass a bill that will give them (illegal immigrants) amnesty, and that's just ludicrous."

Mechnick, who is also a local contractor, said he makes sure that all his employees are legal residents by checking their paperwork before hiring them.

Mayor Steve Lonegan said the McDonald's billboard on River Road near Elm Avenue and the railroad overpass is offensive because it sends the message that Spanish speakers and immigrants do not need to learn how to speak English.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

  Carlstadt, N.J. – An immigration reform group has written letters of rebuke to five New Jersey congressmen for “an incredible ‘no’ vote on Mexican border security,” it was announced today.

Action Needed immediately to block drivers license permits for illegal aliens - this is de facto amnesty.

Hello Immigration Reform Supporters;

As I wrote you in a recent e-mail, the pro-illegal immigrant lobby, spearheaded by the Latino Leadership Alliance, is working furiously to push Assembly Bill 2607 through the New Jersey Legislature. This bill would provide illegal aliens with driving permits which they can use as a driver’s license. They are calling on all their supporters to write to members of the New Jersey Legislature expressing their support for A2607.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE COUNTER THIS OFFENSIVE!!!

Below is a sample letter with several talking points. You can copy it verbatim, cut and paste, or use your own words to express your opposition to A2607.

Send you representative an e-mail, fax, snail mail letter, or just call his office to register your opposition. Calls are OK but anything in writing such as a letter, fax, or e-mail is better!

You can reach you representative through our web site at www.njcitizensforimmigrationcontrol.com by clicking on “New Jersey Legislature” on the left hand column or else just go to the NJ Legislature web site directly at www.njleg.state.nj.us.

Write to:

1.)     Assemblyman Wisniewski, Chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee where A2607 is currently being considered

2.)     As many members of the Transportation Committee as you can

3.)     Your own Assemblyman urging him to vote against the bill if it comes out of committee

I’VE WRITTEN MY 3 REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL 12 MEMBERS OF THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. CAN YOU WRITE SOME LETTERS AS WELL? MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!!!

NJ Attorney General Zulima Farber has attended and spoken at rallies in support of rewarding illegal immigrants with American citizenship.

Some businesses in Lakewood and Freehold closed to support the rally; others shuttered on the assumption workers would skip their jobs to attend protests in Freehold, Lakewood and Toms River. Day laborers stayed away from muster zones. School districts — particularly Lakewood and Long Branch — reported mass absences as students skipped school to support the nationwide movement.

Day laborers who gather near The Home Depot on Dayton Avenue said undercover police have been on a ticketing blitz, cracking down hard in the past several weeks -- and they called on Mayor Samuel Rivera to find a solution.
