Reid says DREAM amnesty vote next week?

DREAM Amnesty Threat ACT NOW TO STOP IT

Friends, we need your phone calls and faxes immediately to counter a gigantic nationwide amnesty push that began a few hours ago.

The Senate is being bombarded with demands today that it pass the DREAM Act amnesty during the next three weeks before Congress adjourns for final campaigning.

It now is possible that there could be an amnesty vote as early as next week!

ACTION 1: Send free faxes to your 3 Members of Congress. They are posted on your Action Board at www.numbersusa.com/actionbuffet

ACTION 2: Phone your own Senators. This is the most important immediate need. Make sure that staffers in this office end their day with a huge surge of anti-amnesty calls.

CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD: 202-224-3121

ACTION 3: Phone swing Senators. Those of you who have Senators who are being most heavily lobbied to pass an amnesty will find special phone action notes with talking points on your Action Board at www.numbersusa.com/actionbuffet.

Although we as yet are not getting a mainstream confirmation, the internet and Capitol Hill are abuzz with reports that Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) says he will bring the DREAM Act amnesty to a vote as an amendment to the Defense appropriations bill -- maybe as early as next week.

It is absolutely imperative that Congress get as many (or many more) phone calls OPPOSING the DREAM Amnesty as they are already getting pushing it.

Phone now and then start phoning again first thing Wednesday morning.

Every pro-amnesty religious group, pro-amnesty leftist group and pro-amnesty conservative group in the country has mobilized their memberships today and through the week in a last-ditch effort at some kind of amnesty.

The open-borders organizations and leaders in Congress are in a panic that if they don't pass some kind of amnesty during the next month they may not have another opportunity for several years. Desperate politicians are always a threat to the citizenry.

Sen. Reid is desperately trying to create enough passion among Nevada's immigrant voters to build enough of an election turnout to help him win a close re-election race.

And political media are reporting today that the pro-amnesty forces are now acknowledging that they have lost their long effort to pass a blanket amnesty and won't have another chance for years. Thus, they are in total desperation to pass the DREAM Act Amnesty for about 2 million illegal aliens under the age of 35.

We must not allow the desperation of the open-borders crowd lead to a terrible act of Congress just before we are set to block amnesty for years.

Please phone now and tell Senators that any effort to grant amnesty to illegal aliens during a Jobs Depression will be viewed with utmost disdain at the polls in November.

THANKS,

Immigrants measure could come before Senate

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he wants to attach to an upcoming defense policy bill an amendment that would help young people in the country illegally become legal U.S. residents.

The Nevada Democrat said Tuesday the legislation known as the DREAM Act is long overdue. But he wouldn't say whether he has the votes for the amendment. The act allows young people who attend college or join the military to become legal U.S. residents.

Democrats have also promised gay rights groups an end to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy." That is in the bill that Reid says he'll try to take up next week.

Republicans oppose both measures.

Any dem that wants to keep their job better oppose it as well

I read somewhere that congress is planning on knocking off early so
they can go campaigning.

What are the chances he'll attach that bill to appease the open border
kooks then not vote on the bill 'til after he gets back. That way he gets
Hispanic votes without really doing anything to further tick off the
conservatives.

They won't be back until after the election

Reids not coming back period

We need Americans with loyalty to our nation to represent us in Congress.

Romans 14:11, it is written, "For it is written, As I live, said the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

Exactly, It's a win-win for the dingy man and a final act of defiance.

Several Dreamers have posted this is a "down payment" on more amnesty in the future for their parents, siblings, etc. and once the Dreamers get citizenship they will vote to make it happen. In other words there has to be absolutely NO amnesty, otherwise it will be amnesty for all over time.

If Republicans were smart they would introduce their own bill revoking the current 10 year re-entry bar for illegal aliens brought to the USA as minors. That would take away most of the argument these Dreamers make, and Republicans could say look we are not anti-immigrant or unfeeling, we just don't support rewarding foreign adult criminals with the million dollar prize of US citizenship.
