YOU WON BIG LAST NIGHT ON SEVERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AMENDMENTS

NOW, PLEASE MAKE ONE MORE PHONE CALL BEFORE U.S. HOUSE STARTS VOTING AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON


Your phoning yesterday -- and your faxing the last six months -- reaped big benefits when several of our sponsored amendments passed the House in marathon voting that lasted into the wee hours this morning. I will send you a report on all the victories later today.

For now, though, we all still have work to do.

ACTION: Go to this phone note for talking points and phone number to call your U.S. Representative and urge a YES vote on "the Cravaak amendment to ensure that violent illegal alien criminals remain in detention before deportation."

This amendment is by freshman Chip Cravaak of Minnesota. Welcome to the fight, newcomer!!! He's a former career military officer and airline pilot, so he is used to taking command.

Pronounce his name kruh-VACK, with the accent on that second syllable.

The Cravaak amendment to the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill would prohibit funds from being used in contravention of section 236(c) of the INA (which requires mandatory detention of violent criminals pending deportation).

The amendment is needed to stop the Administration from occasionally allowing violent criminals to be released on bail and otherwise while awaiting deportation and then disappearing into our population.

Cravaak was allowed to introduce and debate his amendment late last night, but the vote on it won't be until this afternoon. This will be a roll call vote, and we have alerted Members of Congress that we will "score" the vote on our Immigration-Reduction Report Cards.

THANKS FOR PHONING,
