In an urgent letter to Americans, Ray Bishop, president of Panama's Jobs Movement Organization ("Organizacion Movimiento para Empleos") reveals that China has been engaging in an "invasion" of Panama using illegal immigration. He says with no U.S. presence in his country, China is quickly becoming the dominant power. He urges America to reconsider its withdrawal from Panama and the Canal. Admiral Moorer says "Ray Bishop and the Jobs Movement deserve your support."

An Urgent Letter to America
From Ray Bishop, President of the Jobs Movement

My name is Ray Bishop, and I am a citizen of Panama. I am also president of an organization of 25,000 Panamanians, called the Jobs Movement Organization ("Organizacion Movimiento para Empleos").

The Jobs Movement has one goal - bring the Americans and the U.S. military back to Panama.

Before the Americans left the Canal in 1999 - leaving NO U.S. military presence here - I was president of one of Panama's major labor unions.

At the time, I argued that the withdrawal of America would lead to great problems for the Panamanian people, as well as raise serious security problems for the U.S.

My worst fears have come true.

Consider the frightening facts:

* Using bribes, the Chinese company Hutchison-Whampoa has been in operational control of the Panama Canal. Senator Trent Lott says this firm is a front for China's Army.

* In case of breakout of war in Taiwan or Korea, vital U.S. troops and supplies could be interdicted.

* China is engaging in an "immigration" invasion of our small country. There are now some 200,000 illegal and legal Chinese here, out of a total population of just 2 million. Imagine if you woke up one morning and discovered 30 million Chinese in your America! That is exactly, in proportion to our size, what has happened here in the past few years.

* The Chinese are buying key businesses. They have their own schools and even newspapers. Using China's organized crime, known as "Triads," the Chinese government controls this population and is already showing its muscle.

* Panama's economy is already in depression. The government admits to 20% unemployment, but it is more like 30%! The weak economy is helping anti-American groups to gain a foothold here. Last year, unions linked to Fidel Castro held a strike in Panama City that completely closed down the country.

* With the total departure of the U.S., including America's anti-drug task force at Howard Air Force Base, drug lords and money launderers are making Panama City the base of their operations. Panama is set to become another Colombia.

* Marxist guerrillas from neighboring Colombia enter Panama with impunity, and they have been robbing banks and kidnapping foreigners and Panamanians.

There is much more that I could tell you. I have warned many Americans about the dangers here in Panama to the Canal and my people.

In fact, poll after poll shows that the Panamanian people want the Americans back in Panama.
