Here’s something you can send to Republicans.
1.
The most important aspect of immigration reform is to secure the border.
The media and the pro-illegal agenda have created the myth that we can’t secure the border unless we do something for the 11 million. All of the bills being proposed in the US Senate only delay the House bill that deals directly with the border problem.
2.
American voters want to remove the 11 million out of this country.
• The recall election of Pro-illegal immigration Governor Grey Davis was won by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who also got 31 percent of the Hispanic vote after opposing SB60 (drivers licenses for illegals) and having Pete Wilson in his camp. Bustamante, the most popular pro-illegal candidate, got only 52 percent of the Hispanic vote and of course lost.
• In Arizona Proposition 200, another law blocking illegals from welfare, passed easily with a 56 percent yes vote, including 40% of the Hispanic vote
• California, a liberal blue state, voted for Prop 187 which would have denied illegals welfare. This resolution was voted for by 25% of hispanics.
• Illegal immigrant groups challenge these propositions in courts because they know that millions of illegals depend on welfare to stay in the US
3.
Forcing illegals out of this country will not destroy the US economy
• Illegals are less than 5% of the workforce, they are not a majority in any industry nor are they “the backbone” of the economy.
• Many of the companies that hire illegals make billions in profits and could easily increase their wages to hire the majority of US workers in their industry.
• The same economic excuse to defend illegal labor was used to successfully defend slavery in the US for decades, resulting in the Civil War.
• The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that illegals cost the federal government $10 billion a year. State and local governments lose even more.
4.
Republicans will not get the “Hispanic Vote” by pandering to the illegal agenda
• Hispanic activist groups are loyal to Mexico first and the socialist agenda second. The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda give democrats over 90% favorable rating. A Conservative has no chance of gaining favor with these groups
• Propositions that cut welfare to illegals are supported by Americans, including many hispanics. Even more support is for securing the borders.
• The way for Conservatives to reach out to hispanics is the same way they reach out to the rest of America, by speaking and voting Conservative.
• The Hispanic Vote is 6% of the voting population
11 million is a joke. The real number is double or triple that.
The number the government doesn't want you to hear.
VIVA AMERICA!!!!
Recent illegal alien rally’s in the United States are a cause for great
concern. Our politicians (true to form) will probably not do the right
thing, but... American Christians can do the right thing.
You see, this great nation has a process for immigrants that includes
learning the Constitution and our rights. Those who come in illegally
do not hear the truth about our country and then make assumptions
that are damaging to our nation.
I am proposing a pro Jesus, pro America rally called VIVA AMERICA.
The rally would include:
***Latino music with current Christian and latino artists
***A message about the founding of America, what the Constitution
means, and how we preserve our liberties through sacrifice
***American Etiquette "How to be a good neighbor"
***A Gospel Message
This does not have to be huge. Any church or hall will do. Any church can do it. You can have a hundred small rally's in every church in America, or ... ???
The mass of illegals in our country are a field ripe for harvest.
Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great,
but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
TEACH THE CONSTITUTION
TEACH VIRTUE
TEACH GODLINESS
TEACH CHARACTER
TEACH KINDNESS
VIVA AMERICA! VIVA AMERICA! VIVA AMERICA!
Good points.
ya might want to email this to GWB & the GOP since they seem to think that pandering to illegals is a way to get their party members elected.

The more we crack down on illegal immigration, the less Mexicans in Mexico will cling to the Leftist frontrunner in this July's presidential elections who is suddenly in a statistical deadheat for the first time with right-leading Felipe Calderon. That Chavez-admiring Leftie had been ahead in the polls literally for years on promises of free money and threats of nationalization and such. Suddenly the immigration pressures have helped lead to a declining peso relative to the dollar, though, and voters (who know how much Mexico desperately needs the USA) are noticing growing U.S. disapproval for how Mexico's government still won't stand up to telecom monopoly magnate Carlos Slim (#3 on Forbes wealthiest list). Let's keep up the constructive pressure so that Mexicans who don't want to have to abandon Mexico can stay there (which most WANT to do anyway, to be with their families where they speak the same language and don't have to wash bathroom floors and pick pesticide-laden vegetables).
Meanwhile, don't we owe it to our American people struggling in Mexico who endure Mexico's shamelessly racist immigration restrictions to keep the pressure up and thereby empower reformers in Mexico in that way, too? Can you believe Mexico's hypocritically anti-gringo immigration laws which Rush Limbaugh now impressively and charismaticaly calls "Limbaugh's Laws" while saying we should try running the USA in a similar way to see what the reaction would be? Here they are:

And the simple fact is, the legal Hispanics are the ones who can vote, except in places like Los Angeles and Chicago, where those who are both illegal and dead still get to vote.
It so happens that the correct side on this issue is also the popular side. That just demonstrates, again, how Senators like Ted Kennedy and John McCain are grossly out of touch with both opinion in their own states, and opinion throughout the United States.
Thank God for the conservative Republicans who have just killed the amnesty bill in the Senate. And thank God for the conservative Republicans in the House, who stood ready to kill this bill if it escaped the Senate.

Latest article: "The Ed McMahon Solution for Illegal Aliens"
We have a guest worker program. It may need to be reformed. But illegal aliens are those who have not applied to be guest workers. There are 11 million of them. The only thing needing reform concerning illegal aliens is to enforce the existing laws respecting their presence and their employment here.
Border security is the number one problem in this debate. The flood of illegal aliens is a major factor in relation to our lack of border security but it is only one factor. There is also a matter of national security in a time of war and in an age when terrorists have set their sights on inflicting mass destruction on our society.
After the issues of border security and millions of illegal foreign nationals on our soil the matter of guest workers is very small. Until the first two problems are thoroughly and firmly addressed the guest worker issue should not even be discussed.
The President and the Senate need to get that message with unambiguous resolve.
It cannot be said often enough - these mass demonstrations are all denouncing Bush and his party.
Bush is importing the next 95% Democrat voting bloc, and his illegals in the streets are pissing on his head.
Go figure.
11 million is a mythical number any that hear it(the number) should either laugh or get very mad.. for they are being played for an IDIOT.. Obliviously the number is low and is "spin"..
If THAT is accepted THEN.. the "illegal threat" takes on another character.. for it is being spun LOW to allow it to get BIGGER.. and BIGGER.. Which requires you to think.
WHAT is it that I will do about it?.. Unless you are a democrat then you should be happy about it.. For most all illegals are proto type democrats with a few RINOs in the mix..
Has anyone considered trying a different tactic???? Like holding those who EMPLOY the illegals accountable? Good ole' Tyson here in Arkansas is likely one of the top (if not the top) Illegal employer in the state. It use to be a joke when the INS use to have more than ONE - yes ONE officer in the whole state - the state with the 2nd highest growth rate of hispanics (what percent illegal....???) in the country and would conduct a raid at either a tyson plant, or one of the housing areas used by employees.....sometimes several hundred illegals would be rounded up in a single night.
Now, with only one officer for the whole state - zero is begin done.
But if the laws on the books would be enforced or even strengthend with some real teeth... like say a MINIMUM fine of $10k PER OFFENSE (in other words, it wouldn't take long to add up: 200 illegals being employed, times $10K =$2 MILLION fine.) How long would it take for Tyson to quite hiring illegals?
Of course, the Republicans would call that "anti-business".... ugh. I'm going to bed now.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?
