The purpose is to develop and apply local solutions to problems caused by illegal immigration.  It is CCII's intent to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Repeatedly, national polls show that the vast majority of Americans believe illegal immigration should be stopped and that it presents major disruptions to the social and economic structures within communities.

 The vast majority of local citizens agree that local jobs should be for citizens and others here legally.  These are social obligations we owe our neighbors and friends.

We believe that, as part of their responsibilities to employees, customers and partners, businesses have a strong responsibility to support employment of U. S. citizens and others who are here legally.  In the long term that will strengthen their business, while doing the right thing.

Businesses which agree to, and demonstrate, that they employ only U. S. citizens, or others who are in this country legally, are eligible to be advertised locally as "Business Patriots". They will be awarded that special designation and authorized to use the name and a special Business Patriot logo on their business premises, advertisements and other media, as they deem appropriate.

Thank all of you who hire our citizen friends and neighbors, for being patriotic citizens by upholding the law.
