    The danger to our country is as real as it gets.

    The Associated Press reported yesterday:

    Even as they grapple with an immigration crisis at the border, White House officials are making plans to act before November's mid-term elections to grant work permits to potentially millions of immigrants who are in this country illegally, allowing them to stay in the United States without threat of deportation, according to advocates and lawmakers in touch with the administration.

    DO YOU SEE WHY IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU PHONE YOUR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE AGAIN TODAY WITH THE MESSAGE AT THE TOP OF THIS ALERT?

    House GOP leaders are reported ready to bring immigration legislation to a vote this week before Congress leaves town for a month.

    Thanks to your weeks of activism and a stunning output of phoning ye sterday, the key issue before the U.S. House of Representatives is no longer how much money to give Pres. Obama to deal with the Border Surge. Rather, the main issue this week is whether the House will act to block his intended new mass amnesty -- the amnesty his Administration has trumpeted that he will do without congressional consent.

    For 18 months, you have kept the "inevitable" amnesty from happening.

    But now, there will be actual votes on the floor of the House for the first time that could give Pres. Obama an open door to give out millions more work permits to il legal aliens at the expense of American workers.

    Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) says Congress must act to preserve the power over immigration given it by the Constitution. But he also is warning Pres. Obama that he risks provoking a Constitutional crisis that will leave him a legacy of shame:

    "It (granting another executive amnesty) would be an affront to the people of this country which they wil l never forgive; it would be a permanent stain on your presidency." -- Sen. Sessions

    Fortunately, there are three or four dozen U.S. Representatives who are poised to do all they can to move the House to vote to block Obama's next amnesty.

    Your phone calls are essential for giving them a chance at success.
    McCAIN'S AIDE MAY BE WRITING HOUSE GOP LEADERS' IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION

    National Review is warning that GOP House leaders continue to t ry to force through legislation favored by the Chamber of Commerce and its partner Sen. John McCain:

    The latest critique circulating among opponents of the package is that Rebecca Tallent, a former staffer to Senator John McCain (R. Ariz.) who currently works for House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), has played a significant role in drafting" the proposal the GOP leaders are considering bringing to the floor for a vote.

    "[Tallent] more than almost anyone has her fingerprints on President Obama's immigration plans and is very close with the amnesty co mmunity, with the White House, with Democratic offices," said a highly placed congressional source.

    "It's important to understand that Becky Tallent is writing the plan, not the Republican conference. . . . there's a good chance there will be a lot of awful stuff tucked in there as a result."

    Thanks for slamming Congress yesterday. We are hearing that it is indeed making some difference and causing GOP House leaders to at least consider requests for voting to block Obama's next amnesty.

    PLEASE PHONE. THANKS.

    House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other leaders briefed the House Republican caucus on a $659 million in supplemental spending bill that would reportedly amend the 2008 human trafficking law Obama deems responsible for preventing his deportation of surge aliens, but not cut off operating funds for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which most Republicans say largely sparked the surge. Boehner plans a House floor vote on the measure on Thursday before adjournment for the August recess.

    $405 million in funding goes to the Department of Homeland Security, mostly for personnel costs. An undesignated amount may be ised to reimburse border states for the costs they incur in fighting illegal immigration and providing relief to surge aliens. Also $35 million is targeted for doubling the National Guard presence on the border and $22 million for hiring temporary immigration judges and related courtroom expenses. $197 million is included for the Department of Health and Human Services to house and care for surge aliens and $40 million for the governments of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to help with repatriation efforts, predicated on their helping to stem the flow of their citizens to the U.S. Most of the funds must be spent this fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30. The measure does not represent new spending since it is paid for with offsets in fiscal year 2014 spending.

    President Obama claims that a 2008 human trafficking law has prevented his Administration from immediately deporting unaccompanied alien children (UACs) from non-contiguous, and has requested changes in the law. The House GOP leadership bill would make those changes even though the law is not applicable to the vast majority of UACs. Pro-enforcement Republicans warned Boehner that including this language could serve as a “Trojan Horse” for reviving the Senate’s comprehensive amnesty bill (S. 744).

    Many pro-enforcement Republicans also warned Boehner they would oppose the bill unless it cut off funds for the DACA program. Sources told Roll Call that provision was not included because it was considered a “poison pill.”

    Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., said that “close to 20″ of his colleagues expressed “reservations” about the GOP leaders' package at today’s caucus meeting. With 234 Republicans and 218 votes needed for passage, Boehner may not have enough votes to pass his measure if he loses 20 members. Some Democrats like Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, are expected to vote with Boehner but the vast majority will oppose it because it amends the 2008 law.

    The Senate Democrats' supplemental spending bill, which the White House formally endorsed yesterday, dedicates $2.7 billion for dealing with the alien surge. The Senate and House measures are almost $2 billion apart in spending, which will make it difficult to broker a deal. For instance, the Senate bill gives the Department of Health and Human Services $1.2 billion to care for surge aliens while the House bill provides only $197 million. Also, the Senate bill does not amend the 2008 law, a must-pass item for Boehner. Both measures are far below Obama's initial $3.7 billion request.
