Signs send illegals to Cambridge
By Yvonne Abraham, Globe Staff | July 5, 2006
When Cambridge recently renewed its status as a sanctuary city for all
immigrants, including undocumented ones, the news barely caused a stir
around here.
But the move has made the city a target for an immigration control group
based in Washington , which is starting a national campaign urging
undocumented immigrants to flood into the Massachusetts city. ProjectUSA
is raising money to pay for a billboard in northern New Jersey that it
hopes will be the first of many across the country.
The proposed billboard would read: ``Attention: Illegal Aliens.
Cambridge, Mass. is a sanctuary city. For help getting there, contact
projectusa.org/NJ-mass transit."
The ProjectUSA website also makes mock offers of support for the
journey, providing bus schedules and fare information for trips from
Newark to Boston. It gives contact details for Cambridge officials in
case immigrants need rides from the bus station and help accessing city
services. And it invites New Jersey residents and others who would like
to be rid of undocumented immigrants to pitch in for their bus fares to
Massachusetts.
``I hope we have billboards from coast to coast directing people to
Cambridge," said Craig Nelsen , executive director of ProjectUSA.
``Cities like Cambridge have made a very public display of their virtue
so we're going to give help to people to take advantage of it. We're
going to authenticate their virtue by having them exercise it."

Great idea! on a local level, anyone with a computer and a basic
knowledge of Spanish could print up flyers, telling illegals where to
go for handouts, etc. Who knows? perhaps the addresses and phone
numbers of the politicians who support them could end up on these
flyers.
"Our priorities are to go after illegal immigrants committing crime.
If they are law-abiding citizens, we don't have the resources to go
looking for them."
Yet we can spend millions a day fighting in Iraq.
