245i Amnesty to be Attached to Supplemental Spending Bill?

1. The Members of the House Appropriations Committee from your state need to hear from you immediately.

(If you are on the HOME page, click on FAX CONGRESS FREE.) You will find on the Fax Center page Fax No. 999. (If nobody from your state is on the committee, you will not see the fax.)

2. Send Fax 9991 to the White House. Pres. Bush needs to be told by aides that this new sneak attack of his is being noticed an generating among the top 10 of contacts by Thursday noon.

3. Send this Action Alert to everybody you know who opposes amnesties for illegal aliens and who opposes the federal government forcing still more massive U.S. population growth. Include a personal note of introduction that urges people to register to send faxes and to do it immediately.

The White House knows these amnesties are incredibly unpopular. Hence this latest attempt to attach the Section 245(i) amnesty to something that almost never gets voted down on the floor -- a supplemental spending bill.

Our chief person on Capitol Hill was just this evening tipped off to the latest White House sneak attack to force an amnesty. A supplemental spending bill is ready to be "marked up" in the House Appropriations Committee as early as Thursday morning. The White House has managed to get the amnesty added to that.

We believe one of our allies on the committee will move to strip the amnesty and demand a roll call vote. You want to make sure that any member from your state knows how you want him/her to vote and that citizens are watching.

We have some hope that other business will delay the supplemental markup until Thursday afternoon or even later. We'll keep you informed. If you find the fax on the Fax Center, that means the issue is still live.

We will plan that enough of you will see this Action Alert tonight so that the fax machines will be full of anti-245i faxes when the staff arrives Thursday morning -- and that the machine will just keep printing fax after fax all day.

Re-instating Section 245(i) for four months -- as the White House has attempted repeatedly for 17 months -- would allow approximately a half-million illegal aliens to apply for a green card and (because of current INS policies) remain in the United States for the years until they are eligible to receive the green card.

Not only would this add 500,000 people to the permanent U.S. population, but history shows that it would entice millions more illegal aliens to move to the U.S. The ramifications are clear for urban sprawl, congestion, overcrowded schools, loss of environmental resources and wage depression for America's poorest workers.

Although the President has had some success in getting this amnesty through the House in the past, it has always been in a special form or by a narrow margin that has made it difficult to pass in the Senate.

The White House pulled such a sneaky in March by attaching the amnesty to the very good visa-tracking bill. It passed by one vote after a furious effort on the part of all of you in opposing it. That close call emboldened some new allies in the Senate to threaten a filibuster if the same stunt were tried in the Senate. That worked; the visa tracking bill passed without an amnesty. Just today the visa-tracking bill went to the President for his signature -- without any amnesty!

Darkness By Design For Amnesty Move
"At the precise directions of Mr. Bush — the House sneaked through a bill directly related to the student visa fiasco."

But deliberately cloaked in the bill — the first attempted passage was, in fact, to be by unrecorded vote — was the highly controversial Section 245(i) amendment to the immigration law, which allows "undocumented" immigrants (who, to employ plainer talk, are really illegal aliens) to immediately get permanent residency. All they need to do is pay the federal government $1,000 and have a close relative or employer sponsor them.

This decision gives people who come here illegally the ability to skirt American law, to move to the front of the line because they have skirted that law, and to avoid any real check on their past. Without it, they would have to return to their own countries, apply legally, probably wait up to 10 years and go through at least the minimal check of experienced visa and consular officers in the American Embassies.

The fact that this entire scenario was cloaked in the secrecy and deception of a spy novel — it was included in the day's "suspension calendar," which is generally reserved for noncontroversial matters — demonstrates the degree to which the administration is trying to advance its idea of amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in America, perhaps up to 9 million."

"Indeed, during the immigration debate of 1984 we suggested an ultimate goal to guide passing policies--a constitutional amendment: "There shall be open borders." - July 2, 2001 - ROBERT L. BARTLEY - Editor of The Wall Street Journal
"Another amnesty for undocumented aliens is already in the air"
