    *NumbersUSA Alert* - Worker Visas (8/1/2008; 10:23am PT)

    Rec'd via email just now -

    Phone blitz to push Senators to pass 'clean' E-Verify bill this weekend & NO new visas

    DEAR FRIENDS,

    A huge danger and a huge opportunity lie between us at this moment and when Congress leaves town this weekend for a month.


    One last time this summer, please pick up phones and call your two U.S. Senators.

    Capitol switchboard is: 202-224-3121

    We need a full phone blitz all this afternoon so that not a single Senator can claim to be unaware of public outrage that they are considering huge immigration increases on a day when terrible news about American jobs was announced (see below).


    These are the messages from which to pick (imagine thousands of phone calls pouring in over the next few hours):

    # Does the Senator support re-authorizing E-Verify, without any increase in foreign-worker visas?

    # Don't leave town without quickly approving a CLEAN re-authorization of E-Verify. Pass the version the House passed Thursday in H.R. 6633 -- five years with no strings attached.

    # The nation's businesses need to know they can rely on having E-Verify there to help them prevent illegal foreign workers from taking jobs from Americans. Don't spend August back home with E-Verify's fate still uncertain.

    # Don't you dare give an inch to Sen. Menendez (N.J) and his efforts to link passage of E-Verify with a huge increase in importing foreign workers. His S.3414 bill is a shameful attack on American workers. NO EXTRA VISAS.

    # The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that nonfarm payrolls fell for the 7th straight month. How could the Senate possibly consider bringing one additional foreign worker into the country under these conditions.

    # Since December, 463,000 American jobs have been lost, the government announced today. How can the Senate allow Sen. Menendez to hold up E-Verify for the ransom of giving away 550,000 additional American jobs permanently to foreign workers?

    # The Labor Department reported today that unemployment now stands at a four-year high. How can the Senate allow Sen. Menendez to continue to insist on importing hundreds of thousands more foreign workers?

    # With the average work week for Americans now down to 33.6 hours -- an all-time low -- what insanity could cause the Senate to allow Sen. Menendez to hold up E-Verify authorization because he wants to bring in 550,000 more permanent foreign workers?


    Friends, the urgency is compounded by the fact that the House subcommittee on immigration just this morning passed H.R. 5882 to immediately add the 550,000 permanent foreign workers sought by Sen. Menendez -- and to increase permanent foreign workers for the future.

    I am white hot with anger at the unbelievable insensitivity of so many Members of Congress to the concerns of the regular working man and woman, and their families, in this country. You can be sure that many of these same cheerleaders for high immigration will campaign throughout August about their concerns related to the softening job market.

    We cannot let them leave Washington this weekend without letting them know that their concerns mean nothing if they don't stand up to the attempts to bring more foreign workers into this country.

    Senate Majority Leader Reid knows he needs to re-authorize E-Verify before he gavels things down this weekend. He will do whatever he can to provide extra foreign workers to Sen. Menendez in order to get him to take his "hold" off E-Verify -- unless the switchboards light up today in protest.

    Thanks for the heads up. This is a good point to work in:

    The Labor Department reported today that unemployment now stands at a four-year high.
    How dare they even consider yanking more jobs from Americans!

    Thats great information "florgal"

    I also threw in Calif. and Arnie lowering the pay of state workers due to the overwhelming debt and unemployment caused by millions of illegals in Calif. in benefits and an over abundance of cheap labor, which is a huge drain on the taxpayers on that state and all across this Nation.

    Just called Burr and Dole stating talking points above.
    Also called Menendez' office but phone line was busy. Hopefully that is good.
    Also called Harry 'dingy' Reid's office and his phone line was busy. Hope that is good too.

    Finally got through to Dingy Harry's office after spending several minutes on hold.
