Bush to Propose Broad Amnesty Tell Congress to Say No! We regret having to interrupt your holiday season with bad news on the immigration reform front, but the Washington Post reports this morning that President Bush and Karl Rove-in order to appeal to Hispanic voters-are poised to announce a sweeping amnesty plan during the second week of January. If you like amnesty, mass legal immigration, and the continued unprecedented decline in the American economic standard of living, you'll love President Bush's proposal.

While the details of the plan remain unclear, President Bush is expected to propose an outline modeled after legislation currently pending in the House and Senate, H.R.2899 and S.1461. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Representatives James Kolbe (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced these bills. This upcoming plan will undoubtedly reflect what President Bush meant when he announced last week at a press conference that he wants to match "any willing worker with any willing employer."

Why Your Help is Needed Now

President Bush and Karl Rove are convinced that this plan will appeal to Hispanic voters without offending his Republican base. In order for Bush to make his immigration proposal a reality, however, he will need to convince the leadership of the House of Representatives to press his plans on their Republican House colleagues who know better.

Here's How You Can Help:

First, send a free faxed message from our web site to President Bush, House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Follow up your faxes with phone calls. Call the White House comment line at 202-456-1111 and leave a brief message telling the president no to his amnesty plan. Call the Speaker's office at 202-225-0600 and the Leader's office at 202-225-4000 and leave a brief message. Tell Speaker Hastert and Leader DeLay that Republicans should not abandon their law and order principles by advancing the open borders policies preferred by Democrats.

Your faxes and phone calls will be needed continuously over the course of at least the next three weeks. Please ask your friends, family, and coworkers to follow your lead in making their voices heard as well.

Talking Points:

Giving illegal aliens legal status does nothing to improve our national security. In fact it would take years and years to do background checks on the estimated 9-11 million illegal aliens who could be eligible for amnesty. An illegal alien who was amnestied in 1986, after all, later masterminded the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

Any guestworker program leading to legal status for illegal aliens is an amnesty and threatens homeland security by encouraging more illegal immigration. Every time an elected official talks about the possibility of granting amnesty to illegal aliens, it says to would-be illegal aliens that they had better get into the United States while the getting is good.

This program would reward people who have cheated the system with permanent residence. This country is based on the rule of law-it should not be manipulated by people who have cheated their way to the front of the line.

The current recovery from economic recession is unique in post World War II recoveries in that it comes without any benefit for American workers-just more offshore job outsourcing, low paying jobs, and an accompanying decline in the nation's standard of living. This new guestworker program may match any willing employer with any willing worker, but for American workers this means being displaced by cheap foreign labor and declining wages and working conditions for those fortunate enough to find or keep a job.

I've written, e-mailed, and faxed. It never seems to do any good. Both major parties in this country seem hell bent on giving the country away.

"Making the Mexican immigrants legal allows us to collect SS tax $ and pay for the baby boomer retirement."

The problem is they all work under the table, and don't pay taxes or into Social Security. They're leeches. They TAKE, not contribute.

[WhiteGuy]

If this is the answer to the SS mess proposed by the GOP.............

They can forget about another vote or dollar from this WhiteGuy.

I'll concentrate on promoting the agendda of the freedom loving constitutionalists of our nation, PERIOD.

Just their medical costs trump any tax contribution they MIGHT make.

Trumps it by a factor of several!

Illgals come into the ER at Desert Regional Medical center in Palm Springs sometimes for just their teeth hurtiun!

Big big dollars Senoir Bush is costing us.

Gore would have been cheaper.

Amnesty puts all of them on the SS tax rolls

...and adds millions to the Democratic voter rolls.

Faxed and bumped!

They have too high of a welfare rate and high school drop out rate for us to count on them. We just don't need the millions from Mexico who come here with no job skills, no education, no English language ability to bail out this country. Welfare rates along the border exceed 50% in many counties. Low skilled labor jobs are leaving the country, not coming in.

Here's a typical immigrant high school ---- lots of violent crime besides 12 year olds having babies ---- don't count on them to save Social Security ---- they need lifelong welfare programs.

If the borders were actually sealed, then it might be time to consider such things. But with the chance that anyone could come in anytime they want even after this special grant, there is no point.

Just like a scurrilous and conniving politician to attempt floating a piece of offal like this passed the American Citizen in the dead of night, or on a holiday weekend ... generally when the attention of the citizenry can predictably be focused elsewhere. Sneaky b@$#*@&*$.

President George Bush [Mr.Straight-Up] should be ashamed of himself.

I plan to call the day Congress gets back from their break. The timing of this thing is interesting isn't it.

I do not know if any one realizes this, but you can sign up more than one on the numbersusa, if you have a husband, wife, or some one that does not have a computer. You will have to fill in all the information for each.

After you have sent your faxes, click on home, on the link below your name, click here to log on another person, right middle of screen, It will take you back to the sign up page, where you fill in the name of another person.

I have relatives that do not have computers, so they wanted me to fax for them. Just make sure you ask if they want you to fax, before you sign them up.

I fax for 21 people, takes me quite a while, but I get it done.

You're a liberal. If you would have voted for Gore, and you're voting to keep Bush out in '04, then you're a liberal, no matter what you say.

Sorry, Kay, but Bush is going to win in '04, without you.

Stew, if you must.

...President Bush and Karl Rove-in order to appeal to Hispanic voters-are poised to announce a sweeping amnesty plan during the second week of January...

This is a stinking outrage! Rewarding lawbreakers, tax and welfare cheats with amnesty!

To borrow the words of George Sr, this aggression will NOT STAND!!

[sinkspur]

Bush is alienating millions and millions of white people with his immigration fiasco policies. Approximately 80 million white people will stay home next November 4.

Wanna bet?

We can generate tons of mail and burn up the phones if we get cranked up. Let's tell anyone who is for this that they can forget our votes.
