This will reinforce where the American public stands. Now is not the time to rest!
Demonstrations and rallies by the open borders lobby are planned for April 10. Don't let these demonstrations drown out your opinion. Let your Senators know your priorities are border security and enforcement first!
BUMP to #4.
Thanks for posting the contact numbers JP. I just called my Senators again (Cornyn and Hutchison) to thank them and to encourage them to stand tough. If we all call every day or so, I think we can make a difference.

Lou Dobbs Tonight
Live from Washington, DC
Friday, April 7, 2006
The devil is indeed in the details. Less than a day after
Republican and Democratic Senators took turns in front of
television cameras congratulating themselves and their esteemed colleagues for reaching a compromise on illegal immigration reform, their bill hit a major roadblock and has stalled.
Senate Republicans revolted when Democrats attempted to
suppress amendments on the legislation. The Senate will not
vote on illegal immigration reform until after the Easter
recess, if ever.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas joins Lou to discuss why the
compromise agreement failed and what that failure means for the prospect of passing major legislative reform on border security and illegal immigration.
And what is the cost of immigration reform? Senator Jeff
Sessions of Alabama is calling for a Congressional Budget
Office review of the cost of implementing amnesty programs.
Some have estimated that cost to be as high as $40 billion.
We’ll have that report.
Throughout the country, millions of protesters are gearing up for anti-Sensenbrenner legislation marches. Rep. Jim
Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin talks to Lou tonight.
And Lou will be talking with our political roundtable – CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider, former White House political director Ed Rollins, WOL radio talk show host Joe Madison, and New York Daily News Michael Goodwin – for a wrap-up of the week’s top stories.
