Rather than taking a state-recognized holiday on Columbus Day, Representative Metcalfe traveled to the West Virginia state Capitol to voice his support for the efforts of West Virginia State Legislators for Legal Immigration members to advance reform legislation designed to address America's ongoing illegal alien invasion at the state government level.  For more information, visit StateLegislatorsforLegalImmigration.com.


On Pearl Harbor Day 2007, State Legislators for Legal Immigration (SLLI) founder Representative Metcalfe and several other state lawmakers from this 36 state and growing national coalition journeyed to Washington, D.C. to officially call on the U.S. Congress to move the ongoing immigration reform debate above and beyond the overwhelmingly-rejected "national in-security blanket" of amnesty for illegal aliens.  For more information, visit StateLegislatorsforLegalImmigration.com.


Organized in the same tradition of past Continental Congresses, State Legislators for Legal Immigration founder Representative Metcalfe convened the first-ever National Security Begins at Home rally of state lawmakers from across the nation at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Including Pennsylvania, lawmakers from 32 state legislatures, or more than 60 percent of the nation, have now signed on as members of State Legislators for Legal Immigration.   View the latest press releases, media coverage and statewide illegal immigration reform updates by logging on to the coalition's frequently-updated Web site at StateLegislatorsforLegalImmigration.com.

Notable Quotable:   "For those of you who think there are no longer any patriots among American office holders, I offer Daryl Metcalfe, a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, as Exhibit 1.He is a modern-day Paul Revere and just may be the last great hope for those of us who want our borders secured and our immigration laws enforced.Instead of a borrowed horse, Metcalfe and his small but dedicated staff ride the phone lines and the Internet into the night in the effort to warn state representatives in all 50 states of the impending danger and urge them to join the effort to protect the American people against this foreign invasion that is undermining our national security and draining our resources."
