"WASHINGTON (AP) -- An immigration deal reached between key senators and White House negotiators is expected to get President Bush's endorsement ahead of what could be a bruising battle next week in the Senate." [Emphasis Mine]

-Associated Press

Dear Frank:

UPDATE:  As we predicted, a group of Senators led by Ted Kennedy have crafted so-called "compromise legislation" that -- in reality -- will grant amnesty to 12-20 million illegal aliens .

And these Senators want to move quickly and vote on this so-called "compromise legislation" in a matter of days before you have a chance to make your voice heard.

That's why it is imperative that YOU make your voice heard RIGHT NOW! 

Because of your actions... because of your willingness to fight... we have stopped Amnesty for over a year now.

But this vote that will take place in a matter of days is the most crucial vote to date.

We need 40 Senators who are willing to stand firm and say "NO" to amnesty!

And make no mistake, the Administration and pro-Amnesty forces in the Senate will be twisting arms this weekend... hoping and praying that they can secure at least 61 votes in the Senate and make Amnesty the law of the land!

We must draw a line in the sand now.  If we lose this vote... WE COULD VERY WELL LOSE THE WAR!

The Associated Press writes that it will be a "bruising battle in the Senate."  Let's make sure that the American people are on the winning side. 

It's crunch time!  It's now or never!  This may be the FINAL battle in the war against granting Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.  Please make your voice heard RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!

Tell them that when it comes to giving Amnesty to 12-20 million illegal aliens there can be NO COMPROMISE. Remind them that it only takes 40 United States Senators to stop any bill from becoming law and patriotic Americans expect conservative Senators to step up to the plate and do whatever it takes to protect this country.

Funny Isn't It?

You have successfully fought this battle to stop Amnesty for two years now.

Some of what has transpired during that time is noteworthy.

Did you see the Republican debates on Tuesday?  Did you notice that Senator John McCain actually had the audacity to deny that he ever supported Amnesty AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT IN TIME THAT Harry Reid was trying to push the Amnesty Bill that bears McCain's name through the Senate?

Did you hear what Congressmen Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter said during those same debates; and did you notice that after all these months, only two miles of the promised 700-mile border fence have been built?

Did you notice that our elected leaders appear to be oblivious to the news reports that three of the would-be Fort Dix bombers were in the United States illegally?

  Did you see the letter from the heads of the six largest hotel chains in the country ( Matthew J. Hart, President and Chief Operating Officer, Hilton Hotels Corporation; Stevan Porter, President, The Americas for InterContinental Hotels Group; J.W. "Bill" Marriott, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Marriott International, Inc.; Thomas J. Pritzker, Chairman, Global Hyatt Corporation; Jonathan M. Tisch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Loews Hotels; and Bruce W. Duncan, Interim Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc.) , pushing the Senate to pass Amnesty?

(Translation:  Our business is built on putting cheap illegal labor to work... please let us do it legally or the hundreds or millions in campaign contributions will stop.)

Did you notice that Senator Ted Kennedy invited radical organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Council of La Raza to help him craft so-called "immigration legislation" but called the 70% of the American people that oppose Amnesty "bigots" and told them to basically "shut up!"   To put it in Kennedy's own words: "We hope that the voices of hatred and bigotry will silence themselves for this debate..."

But most important, have you noticed that each and every time that pro-Amnesty forces have tried to push an Amnesty bill through Congress, the media has told us that Amnesty was a juggernaut that COULD NOT BE STOPPED and yet, each and every time, YOU have stopped Amnesty?

We've stopped Amnesty before and we can do it again, but we must speak out now.

The American people do NOT want "compromise."  The American people want secure borders!  The American people want to stop terrorists, who wish to bomb military installations, from coming into this country illegally!  And the American people want that border fence built today!

We need to send our elected leaders a clear message:  THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT BE SHUT UP AND SHUT OUT!

Why Not Encourage Legal Immigration?

America is the greatest country in the world and we have always opened our doors to those around the world who desire to live free! 

And the liberals and business interests that are working behind closed doors would love for you to believe that they simply want others to share in the American dream. 

They point self-righteous fingers at people like you and make shallow and false accusations of bigotry!

But if that were the case... if these liberals are right... ask yourself one simple question:

Why are our politicians focusing their efforts on giving a path to citizenship to the millions of illegals who have broken our laws? Why are they NOT focused on pushing legislation to make it easier for those who wish to come to this country legally?

Because granting Amnesty to 12-20 million ILLEGAL aliens HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH GIVING OTHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE FREE!

Moreover, one simple fact that our political leaders blatantly choose to IGNORE is that while many of those who come into the United States illegally may be decent people looking for a better way of life, far too many who violate our laws by coming across the border are all too willing to violate others as well.

Consider the following stats from Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa):

Illegal aliens murder 12 people every day... 4,380 every year.

That's 21,900 since 9/11 -- MORE THAN THE TOTAL KILLED IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN combined.

And that isn't all:

Illegal aliens who are driving under the influence kill 13 people every day. 4,745 per year... 23,725 since 9/11.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study revealed that 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver without a valid license.

A California study found that those who have never received a valid driver's license are FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT THAN THOSE WITH VALID LICENSES -- more dangerous than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked.

But there's more:

Congressman King also reports that illegal aliens molest 8 children every day. That's 2,920 every year.

Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of Atlanta's Violent Crimes Institute reports that around 240,000 illegal aliens are sex offenders.

So why are our elected officials ignoring those who are trying to come to this country legally, while at the same time pushing Amnesty for the 12-20 million who have broken our laws and who refuse to assimilate into our culture?

There's Still More...

According to ESR Research Economic Consultants, by the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.

The average cost per day to house a federal inmate is $69, or over $25,000 a year.  The average cost on the state level for 2000 was about $58 a day, or $21,170 yearly.

Multiply those figures by 267,000 and we're talking about $5.6 - $6.7 BILLION per year. 

And who do you think foots the bill?  You, the American taxpayer.  And our politicians tell you they can't find the money to build a border fence.

In April of 2005, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated at the federal, state and local levels during 2003.

The 55,322 illegal aliens had been arrested a total of 459,614 times -- Average that number out and that's around eight arrests per illegal.

The total number of criminal offenses involved numbered around 700,000. That's about 13 offenses per illegal.

A whopping 36 percent had been arrested at least five times.

Author Peter Wagner, who writes on immigration issues, has said that a disproportionate number of those who enter the country illegally are murderers, sex offenders, and other types of criminals. "That is part of the dark side of illegal immigration... . The question is, how much 'bad' is acceptable and at what price?"

That's a good question.

One that at least 40 Senators had better answer the right way and in a big fat hurry.

  One Final Question...

What do you say to the self-righteous, the holier-than-thou liberals who say that we have always welcomed immigrants to our shores?

Sentimentalists argue that we must help the poor families of the world by employing husbands and fathers who work hard, send their money home, and long for the day when they can return to their loved ones.

If that scenario tugs at your heart strings, read this statement, posted on the web by a group of Mexican women:

"To the United States government -- close the border, send our men home to us, even if you must deport them (only treat them in a humane manner -- please do not hurt them)."

On that same website, wives post personal messages to their spouses begging them to return to their children. Here is a typical example, written to an absent husband named Pedro:

"You said you were only going to Arizona to get money for our house, but now you have been away and did not come back when your sister got married... Oh how I worry that you have another woman! Don't you love me? You told me you love me."

The advocates of Amnesty claim to be sympathetic to the plight of Mexican families.

Yet they appear to be taking the position that money is more important than children... that the family is worthless!
 
Whole villages are devoid of working-aged men.

Here are some statistics -- released by the Migration Policy Institute and published in the Washington Times. They will blow your mind:

In 2005, more than ten million Mexican-born people were living in the U.S. That's one-tenth of the total population of Mexico.

This exodus has had a negative impact on the Mexican economy.

Fully one-seventh -- 14 percent -- of the Mexican workforce is now laboring in the United States.

Mexican immigrants are, for the most part, younger men. 77 percent of Mexican workers in the U.S. are younger than 45 and 70 percent are men.

That's not exactly a family friendly policy...

So let's tell the liberals that if they really want to help people they can help us secure our borders and put a stop to Amnesty!
