Aasetupweb 11-07.Indd Putting A Human Face on Pennsylvania’s Illegal Alien Invasion A Special Message from State Representative Daryl Metcalfe Dear Friends, For those who think illegal immigration is just a border state problem think again. With the federal government currently AWOL in fulfi lling its Constitutional responsibilities to protect American lives, property and jobs against the clear and present dangers of illegal immigration, many states and local governments are left with no choice but to take individual action to address this important issue. While far from all-inclusive, (keep in mind the federal government endeavors to keep all crimes committed by illegal aliens as “classifi ed”), Pennsylvanians should be very alarmed by the more than 3,100 illegal alien invaders documented in this report. Taken directly from testimony at last year’s PA House Republican Policy committee hearings on Illegal Immigration reform and newspaper headlines across the state, the individual incident reports and statistics chronicled in Invasion PA involve ordinary, hardworking Pennsylvanians just like you whose lives have been unnecessarily lost or irreparably damaged due to the federal government’s overwhelming refusal to secure our borders from illegal alien invaders. Regardless of whether an illegal alien commits other additional and intolerable offenses such as stealing jobs that American citizens supposedly won’t do, identity theft, rape, and even murder, they are all criminals warranting punishment to the fullest extent of the law. Let us never forget that every illegal alien’s very fi rst step across the border is a violation of our federal immigration laws, which makes them foreign invaders that deserve immediate deportation, rather than the dignity and respect of being called immigrants. It is my hope that putting a human face on these completely avoidable statewide tragedies that should have never occurred on our soil in the fi rst place, will bring about immediate and necessary reforms that law-abiding Pennsylvania citizens expect and deserve. Pennsylvanians must be made aware of the personal liberties lost, tax dollars wasted and lives destroyed due to the continued presence of illegal aliens. Thankfully, there are several members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in addition to myself who are willing to take the lead on this issue through the National Security Begins at Home package of statewide illegal immigration reform legislation. Article 4, Section 4 of the United States However, in the end, the success of our efforts will depend on the support of individual Pennsylvanians like you. I encourage everyone who wants secure borders and safer communities free of illegal aliens Constitution states that our government to familiarize themselves with the contents of this special report and to visit RepMetcalfe.com and sign the National Security Begins at Home petition today. “shall guarantee to every state in this Union For Liberty, a Republican form of government and shall protect each of them against INVASION.” Daryl D.

In addition to publishing research on critical public accountability issues, PAI maintains LittleSis.org, an involuntary facebook of powerful people. PAI’s work is funded by a variety of non-profit sources (all funding sources are listed at http://public-accountability.org/about/funding). This report was authored by Robert Galbraith, a research analyst at PAI. Table of Contents Executive Summary 2 Introduction 4 Governors and Staff 6 Department of Environmental Protection 13 Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission 21 Pennsylvania General Assembly 24 Other Revolving Door Ties 27 Conclusion 29 Appendix: Methodology 30 Fracking and the Revolving Door in Pennsylvania * 1 Executive Summary The oil and gas industry frequently argues that fracking means jobs. This appears to be especially true for former regulators and other public officials in Pennsylvania, many of whom have taken lucrative jobs working for the industry. This report documents the revolving door between government and the gas industry in Pennsylvania, where numerous top government officials and environmental regulators have either left their public jobs for careers in the oil and gas industry or come to government from the private sector. The report is based on extensive research on the career trajectories of dozens of public officials, with a focus on the executive branch and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in particular.1 The revolving door trend in Pennsylvania raises questions about whether regulators are serving the public interest or private industry interests in their oversight of fracking.
