When Senate staffers arrive in offices Mon. morn, make sure
they encounter huge piles of faxes opposing the Tues. amnesty vote
This
week is the real thing.
Many of you have been with us while we
turned back every amnesty attempt from 2001 through last year. Most of the
time, a bill never got to the floor.
But that will change Tuesday when we are
facing a vote on an amnesty whose impact will be about 10 times larger than
Amnesty No. 1 in 1986.
We're asking for faxes today
before we put all our efforts into phone calls on Monday and Tuesday.
The next two days, you will be getting
emailed alerts from Anne asking you to make one of the most important phone
calls you've ever made. Watch for alerts with the toll-free numbers and also
for phone calls you'll get from me to remind you.
The vote at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday
is on a Motion to Proceed. If 60 of the 100 Senators vote YES, the S. 744
amnesty bill will come to the floor for debate. If we can keep the vote from
getting up to 60, we will have killed the bill.
One by one, most of us are fairly inconsequential compared to the
special interests who rule over Washington. But a million of you individuals
would truly shake the foundations of this place if you would just take the time
to make a phone call and send a fax.
The effect of passing S. 744 would truly
change America. How much? Well, take a look at the extremely high unemployment
in California and the chronic state budget crises, at the congestion and social
problems.
California has been hit the hardest by
the seven previous amnesties between 1986 and 2000 and the massive immigration
unleashed by the 1990 Surge Law. And California is pretty much what the rest of
the country will look like if S. 744 passes.
No matter what you care about the most,
you can be almost certain that it will deteriorate if S. 744 passes because . .
. . .
S. 744 would:
- give work
permits and legalization to 11+ million illegal aliens in the first year,
and entice millions more foreign workers to come illegally in the future
- double
authorized immigration to 22 million over the next decade, swamping the 20
million Americans who want a full-time job and can't find one
- add millions
of less-educated, low-wage immigrants to all the country's welfare and
entitlement programs
And the bill would do all of that without
even guaranteeing improved enforcement at the border and workplace in the
future.
WE'LL ONLY WIN IF NEARLY ALL OF YOU ACT
THIS WEEK
Friends, I know there are lots of demands
on your time. But I beg of you to open all of our alerts this week and to
quickly fax and phone when we give you the opportunity.
With $1.5 billion already spent by the
other side on more than 1,700 Washington lobbyists and advertising, the ONLY
WAY that we can defeat this monstrosity of a bill is if nearly every one of you
act.
I'll say it again:
One by one, most of us are fairly inconsequential compared to the
special interests who rule over Washington. But a million of you individuals
would truly shake the foundations of this place if you would just take the time
to make a phone call and send a fax.

I understand the request by Roy for not wanting amnesty to be approved given that we have so many people out of work in the US right now.
I have a different scenario to propose and that is if the USD is deflated in the near future, and that causes companies to bring back manufacturing and many other outsourced jobs, then we will need the workforce here in America.
While the many illegals have had benefits and allegiances that even our own citizens haven't had, they have also (most) been very hard working and contributed to our economy. Sure they may be sending money home, but they are still renting, buying and for the most part wanting to be a part of the American Dream.
The baby boomers were the last large work force we had in the US and most are retiring or ready to retire soon or in the very near future. Since the following generations didn't reach the population numbers that the Boomers did, we will be short handed without the additional immigrant population.
With the onset of disclosure, and the transfer of wealth, there will be a great change in industry, our economies and our work force globally. A good change. So let's have our voices heard but also remember that a bigger picture is unfolding here and maybe what needs to be done is taking the whole concept back to the drawing board with the intention of inclusion and not separation. After all that is what America was founded on.
JMHO, Thanks.
I've got a different point of view than that! Earth is shifting and by the end of this year will be a different dimension and all of us will experience a new consciousness. In that new experience there will be no lines separating countries or immigration laws because we will all finally realize that we are all ONE PEOPLE!
As far as notifying your Congressman: WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WAKE UP? The government is not a Constitutional Government, its a Corporation! All those people you believe you elected to office were chosen for you. You didn't elect anybody and they are members of the BOARD of DIRECTORS for the CORPORATION. They don't give a damn what you think or want! They're all millionaires and they only care about their own kind and class. HELL, they all have been trying to kill all of us off since WWII.
