Comprehensive Amnesty Threat
OverviewUpdatePublicationsPollsIn the NewsOverview
Often referred to as Comprehensive Immigration Reform, pro-amnesty groups seek to offer legal permanent residence to illegal aliens. Comprehensive Immigration Reform bills were introduced in Congress in both 2006 and 2007.
In 2006, separate versions were passed in the Senate and House, but an agreement was never reached in conference committee. In 2007, a version in the Senate proposed by Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy with support from Pres. Bush failed to reach a cloture vote. The grassroots effort from NumbersUSA members was a major reason why the amnesty failed.

During the 2008 campaign, Pres. Obama offered support for amnesty, and with an overwhelming majority of supporters in the House and Senate, newer versions of the failed bills are likely to be introduced.

On Thursday, Pres. Barack Obama and the White House will host a bi-partisan group of Congressional leaders to jump-start the discussion on amnesty and immigration reform. It is imperative that you call and fax the White House NOW and tell Pres. Obama to say no to offering amnesty to illegal aliens and increasing work visas while more than 14 million Americans are looking for work. Visit your Action Buffet NOW and help us counter the 25,000 pro-amnesty phone calls made to the White House earlier this week.
