DEAR CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF NUMBERSUSA,

It looks like even the conservative national leaders are pulling back from doing anything about immigration.

Most of the spotlighted conservative leaders at the giant CPAC convention this weekend showed that they are far more interested in the feelings of Republican Party major donors than in offering help for 25 million Americans who can't find a full-time job.

Americans might have hoped that finally at this meeting there would be a sign of true leadership in stopping the massive importation of new foreign workers during a jobs depression. But on that topic, hope was as scarce as at the Obama White House.

But reports from those at the convention (I wasn't there) indicated that the thousands of (mostly young) conservative attendees seemed to have a much better grasp of what the country needs on immigration.

They exploded into a standing ovation when a freshman congressman on Saturday finally broke the taboo and stated emphatically:

"We need to lock down the border and enforce visas, reject amnesty and enforce our current laws, get rid of our rewards and incentives to be here illegally, mandate E-Verify . . . . "

-- Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah)

For three days, one star speaker after another from Congress, from the media, from the conservative pantheon and from potential presidential hopefuls glaringly avoided immigration when given the microphone in the big room.

The mood for the convention had been set even before the opening of the annual extravaganza for conservative activists when some of the inside leadership of the convention made a big news splash with the argument that conservatives should stop talking about limiting immigration (and should support some kind of amnesty) if the Republican Party is to have a decent chance at winning elections in the future.

Friends, the old-time elites of the Republican Party have shown over the weekend that they are gaining control of the Tea Party movement message (more about that tomorrow) and have already largely gained control at the CPAC conservative leadership. They are determined to keep conservative citizen movements from pushing for immigration reductions.

If you are concerned about this trend, I hope you will forward this email to all of your conservative lists and friends.

And remember, that there are always immigration actions you can take for free at www.NumbersUSA.com http://www.numbersusa.com/actionbuffet? ... tid=254574

This issue could be the end of CPAC.

Nor will we them wayneman. The reap what they sow, and at this rate, they will end up reaping the whirlwind.

IMO both major parties are completely willing to sell out desparate Americans, if that helps them gain political power.

Those young conservatives, how can we reach/contact them?
