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.

Merry Christmas

I have called and sent faxes.. Sam Francis a year ago said this was going to happen.. I don't believe that Bush et al thinks that this will give them the Hispanic vote.. Then what IS the motive??

Also, the same exact reason (for immigration -regarding doing jobs no one in the general population will take)is used in Europe by the EU.. What or who or which group is doing this and more importantly WHY?

[WackyKat]

If this is true, it is disgusting

[StoneColdGOP]

And don't bother with the Democrats.

Bring pressure to bear on the REPUBLICANS. Make them believe they won't get your vote if they support this crap.

[Digger]

Gang, this is your "Two-Party Cartel" run by the elitists. They now passed legislation to thwart any competition. Only when you start at the next election to throw out virtually all incumbants. But of course many will still vote for GW & get the same. These pols with the willing media will make this place a third world country much faster than the Mulsims. Maybe Tancredo will run for president.

[Zipporah]

YOU are so right.. when you say "two-party cartel".. It's funny they did such a great job of making Buchanan look like a nut.. but he was right.

Is there any place to run? I only wish Tancredo would run.. He's the only Republican I would vote for.. at this point.

[GunsareOK]

The Reconquista bunch wants this to take back California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. The Bushite Republicans want cheap labor and the Democrats want the votes.

[Zipporah]

Welcome to the USSA.. absolutely contrary to the will of the people..the elitist scum.

[FITZ]

What or who or which group is doing this and more importantly WHY?

True --- I really don't think this is for votes ---- Bush couldn't be naive enough to think it is. Hispanics in the SW aren't any more thrilled with their high property taxes and auto insurance rates due to high indigent immigration from Mexico.

[Zipporah]

This is tyranny..

I sent my faxes - good link, get the word out. I added the following two paragraphs to one that I selected from the website:

I"f you don't fix the current problems that ignore illegal immigration, you will only be compounding the problem by offering amnesty to those that are already here.

Pandering to the Mexican voters by passing such legislation will backfire in our house, which is made up of South American family members that became citizens legally. "

Politicians creed: "I got mine", "where's yours"?
If they were on the ticket last time I will not vote for them next time, no matter what. All incumbents must go.
Nor will I vote for a Democrat.

I will bring pressure on the GOP by voting indp in 04.

When the stupid GOP is out for the next 8 years maybe, just maybe, one guy will figure out they can NEVER win without conservative vote.


The perhaps we can move forward ( after the 8 years) with a conservative agenda.

And Yes - I am Bush Bashing!

Make them believe they won't get your vote if they support this crap.

I have two words you should understand: Social Security.

Making the Mexican immigrants legal allow us to collect SS tax $ and pay for the baby boomer retirement. I work as a retirement plan actuary and been saying for 25 years that we'll have to let them in so we can pay for Social Security benefits. Amnesty puts all of them on the SS tax rolls and their relative young demographic couterbalances the aging Boomers.

It's going to happen because it has to!

So the true effort of you and me has to be to make sure they are educated to be AMERICANS, just as it was for the immigrants of the late 1800's.

From the Washington Post article:

Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (Mo.) calls his the Earned Legalization and Family Reunification program. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.) has called immigration reform "another broken promise" by Bush. Former Vermont governor Howard Dean told the Arizona Republic's editorial board that he favors earned legalization for undocumented workers who have been in the country for some time and have committed no crimes, but he sounded a note of skepticism about a guest-worker program like that proposed by McCain.

NOW in reading this.. is Bush proposing THIS as well? What this will mean, imagine what this will bring? ONE Mexican man brings his family ..how many are in HIS family? Multiply that by the millions that NOW are in this country..

HOW is actually advancing this? AND why?
