Thread: Senate to vote on S-744 Amendments as early as 3:00 p.m. est TODAY

The Senate is scheduled to vote at as early as 3pm EDT today on amendments to S 744, the immigration amnesty bill. Please call in support of two amendments that would put border security first.


Phone your Senators through the Capitol Switchboard at 888-978-3094 and ask them to support Amendments 1197 and 1228!


Amendment # 1197 - Senator Thune's Border Fence mandates the construction of 350 miles of double-layered fencing along the border with Mexico—half the amount specified in the Secure Fence Act—before illegal aliens receive provisional legal status. The remaining 350 miles of fence must be completed before they can receive green cards.


Amendment # 1228 - Senator Vitter’s US-VISIT Amendment would bar legal status to illegal aliens until the DHS certifies that the biometric entry-exit system known as US-VISIT is implemented and in operation at each land, sea, and air port of entry. Further, Congress would have to pass a joint resolution specifying that the system has been sufficiently implemented.


Call your Senators at 1-888-978-3094 and ask them to put border security first by voting for Thune Amendment #1197 and Vitter Amendment #1228. Voting on numerous amendments begins at 3pm in Washington, so please call now.
