Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is creating something called the "Office of New Americans Policy and Advocacy". And:

In addition to the new state office, Illinois officials plan to convene a 15-member advisory panel of business, religious, labor and other representatives that would provide recommendations on education, health care and other policies for immigrants.

The panel will be led by Juan Salgado, president of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights; Ricardo Millett, executive director of the Woods Fund of Chicago; and Ngoan Le, senior program officer for the Chicago Community Trust.

The ICIRR was last mentioned here in relation to the Jim Oberweis DVD; see that post for more links about them. Salgado was a panelist at the 7/22/04 "immigration reform" forum organized by First Data where a member of the audience was allegedly attacked by an "immigration" supporter. First Data is the parent company of Western Union, which makes a large amount of money off sending remittances from Mexicans in the U.S., no doubt a large number of whom are here illegally.

Is Blagojevich sure that this panel will represent America's best interests? Or, will it simply advocate even more illegal immigration into Illinois?

UPDATE: On 11/19, the ICIRR held an "Immigrant Justice Convention" where they showed the video of two illegal aliens working in Oberweis Dairy stores and demonized that gubanatorial candidate. Recommended blog coverage of this here and here, with more discussion here.
