HR 1645 Flake/Guiterrez Amnesty Bill

JUST SAY NO

Toll-Free Switchboard: 866.340.9281

Even if it is before or after their office hours, leave a message: “NO fraudulent illegal alien “guest worker” program — NO illegal alien Amnesty — If you support this bill, I will work tirelessly to insure that you are “unelected”!

>>Harry Reid has scheduled debate to begin this week on a comprehensive immigration reform (read Amnesty) bill. Since there is no new bi-partisan amnesty bill ready yet, Dingy Harry is set to bring last years Senate Amnesty bill, S-2611, to the floor for a debate.<<

It’s very confusing. There is also the “compromise” proposal from the Senate Judiciary Committee, which does not, to my knowledge, have a bill number yet:

‘Also on May 8, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he will not push back his May 14 target for the beginning of floor debate. Reid plans to invoke a parliamentary maneuver today that bypasses the normal committee process and places a bill directly on the Senate Calendar. He has not decided whether he will use last year’s Senate-passed bill (S. 2611) or the Judiciary Committee-passed version as a placeholder for floor debate. Reid said the measure could be amended later if Senators work out the details in their “compromise” bill.

Specter noted that some Republican senators may seek to filibuster Reid’s motion to proceed on a bill, for which Reid would need 60 votes. Although S. 2611 passed the Senate with 62 votes last year, a number of the Republican members who voted for the bill are now following the lead of Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), the lead negotiator for Senate Republicans, and are disinclined to vote for the bill again. ‘

But if we call senators and say we oppose both S. 2611 and the “compromise,” this also may be confusing, because

1) Harry Reid, if S. 2611 were brought to the floor, open it up for amendments, so they could say it might “morph” into something completely different via amendments

2) The “compromise” is not even a bill yet (as far as I know).

I am against both, but I seem to be shooting at two Cheshire Cat bills.

Checking in from TN...

Sen Lamar Alexander’s office in Chattanooga (423)752-5337 informed me that he voted against S-2611 last year and that he is for a secure border and no amnesty...

He will vote against a Bill for amnesty again this time...

Sen Alexander’s DC Phone (202)224-4944

Sen Bob Corker’s office in Chattanooga (423)756-2757, had no ready answer and that concerns me no end...Beverly told me she would check and call me back..

Sen Corker’s DC Phone (202)224-3344

EXACTLY!

My dear husband just called while I was out, and used the word "amnesty". The secretary said it wasn't "amnesty" (LOL).....

We need to say "VOTE NO" on any form of comprehensive immigration reform..

Just VOTE NO!

Got an email reply from Sen. Hutchinson (TX). She says she voted against S. 2611 last year, which I think was true. But it is unclear whether she would support an amended S. 2611 this year. I get the impression she would vote for the mysterious "compromise" proposal from the Judiciary Committee, which is bad enough. I hope that the "compromise" proposal dies and S. 2611 is voted down (unlikely) or filibustered.

Sen. Cornyn (TX) also voted against S. 2611 last year. He has not responded to my email yet, and I think Cornyn has been a little stronger anti-amnesty than Hutchinson, but can't trust him 100%.
