Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and a handful of her far-left cronies in Congress are plotting to put amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens back on the table!

And their first order of business is BLOCKING legislation that would finally beef up our nation's border security and crack down on employers that hire illegal aliens.

We're talking about the Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act of 2007 or SAVE Act of 2007 (HR 408, an enforcement-only bill that will add 8,000 agents to secure our borders and implement systems that will allow employers to easily verify workers' immigration status.

According to the Washington Times:

"Senior Democrats... have come up with a Plan B -- muddling the issue by attaching a killer amendment to the Shuler bill, which would come in the form of an amendment proposed by Rep. Joe Baca, California Democrat and chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus."

"The Baca Amendment would give illegal aliens who pass a background check a 'five-year temporary worker permit' that expires on Dec. 31, 2012. It would also provide employers who hired illegal aliens 'safe harbor' (apparently some measure of immunity from prosecution) for past hiring of illegal aliens. ...a senior official with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce told Congressional Quarterly that he believed there was 'some kind of deal in the works.'"

There has been speculation for some time that Pelosi and liberal Members of Congress were meeting behind closed doors... planning to unveil a 5-year amnesty plan in the Spring.

But if her 5-year amnesty plan is to succeed, THE SAVE ACT MUST DIE!

Perhaps that explains why many Democrats who actually co-sponsored theSecure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act of 2007 or SAVE Act (HR 408 have not yet signed the discharge petition that would bring the bill to a vote and prevent Pelosi and liberals in Congress from silently killing it in committee.

As you already know, the SAVE Act is an enforcement-only bill that will add 8,000 agents to secure our borders and implement systems that will allow employers to easily verify workers' immigration status.

And now it appears that Pelosi, Baca and company are getting desperate and hedging their bets. If they can't kill the SAVE Act outright, they'll neuter it with a killer amendment.

We can't let that happen!

If 37 additional Members of Congress sign the discharge petition, the SAVE Act WILL come to the floor of the house for a vote!

If the SAVE Act comes to the floor for a vote, IT WILL PASS!

And if the SAVE Act passes, and Pelosi and company do not succeed in attaching their killer amendment to it, theplan to impose a 5-year amnesty for illegal aliens WILL be stopped dead in its tracks!

We are very close to a major victory but we need ONE FINAL PUSH!

We Can't Let Pelosi Win This One!

You might ask why Members of Congress who actually sponsored a piece of legislation would not be jumping and clawing to be among the first to bring that legislation to the floor for a vote.

There are a number of possibilities.

First and foremost, some of them may fear reprisals from Pelosi and company and the open borders lobby.

Make no mistake, many of these Members are probably being pressured and strong-armed RIGHT NOW to keep their mouths shut and let the SAVE Act of 2007 die an unceremonious death!

And you can probably bet that some of these Members may be thinking that they can have their cake and eat it too. Through their silence they can kill two birds with one stone.

They can stay in Pelosi's good graces and still go back home and tell the folks that they proudly sponsored the SAVE Act of 2007!

But you can tell these elected officials RIGHT NOW -- in no uncertain terms -- that they can't have it both ways!

And if they know you're watching... THEY WON'T! If they know you're watching, they will do the right thing!

Are There Really Plans To Put Amnesty Back On The Table?

If Congress could vote on the SAVE Act of 2007 TODAY, IT WOULD PASS WITH EASE!

And that's why Pelosi and her cronies are blocking it! Any real border enforcement measures will undermine their plans to put amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens back on the table!

The Washington Times calls it a "con job."

"But unfortunately, the Democrats are putting together an elaborate con job: using tough-sounding rhetoric while working behind the scenes with open-borders advocates in the business community to win support from firms that have become very dependent on cheap foreign labor. The goal of these Democrats ... is to defeat a bipartisan bill that takes a no-amnesty, enforcement-oriented approach to illegal immigration. Specifically, they are very worried about the fact that a growing number of moderate and conservative Republicans and Democrats (and even a few liberals) are cosponsoring the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act, H.R. 4088..."

The SocialistWorkers.org website speaks openly of Pelosi and company's assurances:

"So far, the House leadership says it will block the SAVE Act unless provisions are added to give the undocumented a chance at citizenship..."

As you know "undocumented" is a code word the amnesty crowd uses because it's less offensive than calling those who break our laws and come into the United States illegally what they are -- illegal aliens.

It's the same old song and dance we heard last year; give us amnesty and we'll talk about securing the border.

But history teaches us that when our elected leaders talk about amnesty and border security in the same breath, these measures are typically long on amnesty and short on enforcement.

The American people understand that. We're on to that game. And we will NOT allow AMNESTY to hold border enforcement hostage!

Congressman Bilbray claims Pelosi and company has other motives as well:

"You've got Ms. Pelosi and the traditional Democrat groups basically wanting to see this population of 20 million illegals voting for Democrats. They want to give them residency, citizenship, and register them to vote so they can use this illegal population as a political bloc that's [beholden] to them because they're the one who empowered them with the votes."

The ultimate passage of the SAVE Act rests with you.

As the Washington Times put it:

"In the coming weeks, many rank-and-file Democrats will have to make a very difficult choice: carry water for Nancy Pelosi or respond to the legitimate concerns of their constituents."

If they hear from you now, the answer will be obvious!

But we won't win unless you speak up!
