March 21, 2007

Yesterday, Congressmen Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) held a conference call with reporters in which they announced their intention to introduce a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill on Thursday. There were few substantive details released at that time, but sources tell us that at the very least, the bill will contain some sort of amnesty provision for illegal aliens currently in the United States.

This morning, CongressDaily reports that Congressmen Flake and Gutierrez, who had been participating in negotiations with Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA) about the components of a new immigration bill, have now decided to let the Senate move on its own track and forge ahead with their legislation in the House. One aide to Flake is quoted as saying, "The House has not had a chance to consider a comprehensive immigration bill."

Observers note that there has been discord in the Senate as Members have had difficulty pleasing both the demands of labor and big business. Nevertheless, Senator Kennedy issued a statement applauding the introduction of "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation in the House. The statement said, "While we're still negotiating in the Senate, I'm optimistic that we will have legislation soon."

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!!!

Please call your Representatives TODAY and urge them to reject guest worker amnesty legislation. Tell them:

You oppose guest worker programs that displace American workers and depress wages; You oppose rewarding illegal immigration with a path to citizenship; Rewarding illegal immigration will only lead to more illegal immigration; and Granting amnesty is inherently unfair to those who play by the rules, apply through legal channels, and patiently wait in line to come to the United States.

Your voices do make a difference!!! Yesterday, the New York Times reported that candidates campaigning in Iowa are hearing non-stop from voters who are upset at the prospect Congress will pass guest worker amnesty legislation. The paper writes: "The issue has become much more complicated as the presidential campaign has gotten under way, exposing the Republicans in particular to voters who are angry about what they see as porous borders, growing demands from immigrants on the social welfare and education systems and job losses that they link at least in part to a low-wage labor force coming over the border."

In addition, PLEASE take time out of your busy schedules to attend town hall meetings! Go with your family, friends and neighbors to let your Representatives and Senators know how you feel. While you may not immediately see how persuasive you are, FAIR hears stories from Congressional staffers all the time about how immigration is one of the most important issues at district events. Members want to hear from their voters, and if you do not voice your opinion, the voices of special interests will prevail!

Stay tuned for more updates from FAIR.

Big mistake to grant "amnesty" to more than 40 million illegal intruders.
Talk about washing your hands of a big problem!!!!

Time to lock and load up on more ammo.

Here is what we need to worry about, not just "immigration":

So then, we need to let our elected officials KNOW that WE the voter, will with-hold money from the GOP if they don't stop this.

They're here and we have to deal with that issue..IOW's, they can pick our crops, but we're not going to give them the farm just because they do..

What has happened to my poor country?

Screw labor and big business.

Aren't these political slimebags supposed to be working for ("pleasing") us?

[webstersII]

"What makes you think it will make a difference where ever you send it??? "

That's not completely true.

Sometimes they do ignore such things, especially in the Senate. The Senators know that all the people will forget how they voted by the time re-election rolls around for them.

Not so in the House. Their votes are much more memorable.

This issue got swatted down once before in the House because so many people called or wrote and expressed their opinion. The House is still somewhat skittish about this issue because of the previous experience and it wouldn't take much to make remind them.

The "report" you site is bogus. There is no joint INS/FBI report. For more realistic statistics go here: http://www.ice.gov/pi/news/factsheets/immigration_enforcement_initiatives.htm

Thanks for the reply.

I should have turned off the "sarcasm" light!!!

[RC51]

Come on now. It is about time we replace our 40 million aborted Americans, most of which would have been minimum wage laborers, with a legally authorized work force!

I just want ever Immigration bill to begin:
"Given that over the last 3 decades the United States has killed 40 million of its citizens and lost most of it's laborers..."

[ckilmer]

I talked to the ICE people . they don't have the numbers. but they do have the number of foreign nationals convicted of being child preditors.

AMNESTY

[Jeff Head]

There's a foul wind rising, and dark clouds billowing on the horizon.

This "amnesty" will only cause horrific damage to this country.

Remember, if they get legal status then that legitimizes their offspring. Even clarifying the rulings regarding the 14th Amendment won't matter.

When their bambinos turn 18 they will vote for any candidate that promises rewards to madre and padre for all their past "suffering".

To wit; my tagline.

Done.

Since 1972 and the unlawful resolution on RvW by the USSC, America's birthrate among multi-generational Americans has declined to below replacement level. Today 2/3 births are to ONE and TWO generation "Americans", or to those whose forefathers had little or no sweat equity in building this great country. Consider how that has the potential to change the dynamics of the USA.

At current immigration levels - legal and illegal, in just ONE more generation, there will be a majority of voters in America through the "anchor baby" system having more generational ties to another sovereign country than to the United States.
