Subject: Fri AM tasks to beat Hagel amnesty
This may be our last chance for a LONG time to hold back an amnesty. Please call, phone, fax or visit your Senators to urge them to support the enforcement only bill passed by the U.S. House (HR4437). We need enforcement NOT amnesty (either immediate - the Kennedy/McCain bills -----or gradual - the Frist bill). Make sure these Senators UNDERSTAND that we will not only remember in November but we will see that others do too!!!

Kennedy-McCain Bill Resurrected!
April 6
11:30 pm
Dear Friend,
I just came from our weekly immigration coalition dinner, and I can’t wait
until the morning to tell you what the great Senate of the United States
has in mind for us. And as always I need you to get back on the phones
and call as soon as you get this e-mail. We can’t let this bill pass!
Tomorrow morning, 10:30 am, the Senate is scheduled to vote to allow the
Hagel Martinez bill to go to the floor for a vote. If Senators Frist and
Reid can garner 60 votes, the bill goes to the floor and will pass the
Senate tomorrow. Here is what I have learned about the bill.
Just about everything we are being told about this so-called "compromise
bill" is a lie. It is no compromise. It is a complete sell-out of
America, same as its twin Kennedy-McCain.
The treasonous facts:
There is no border security! The seven hundred miles of fence, that is
part of the House bill, is not in this bill. Instead the bill calls for a
virtual fence. (That’s what got us into this mess in the first place.)
There is NO mandatory employer verification! It was stripped out—too
burdensome for businesses. The Senate sure knows how to keep their
corporate masters happy!
It is all about Amnesty! It calls for amnesty for over 10 million
illegals, and that is before the fraud begins! In 1986 it was estimated
that 1-1.5 million illegals were eligible for that amnesty—over 3 million
applied and were approved. We are looking at amnesty for fifteen,
possibly twenty million illegals. And with no border security every one
of them will be quickly replaced by another illegal!
It is about more amnesty—through guest worker! In spite of the fact that
no guest worker program has ever worked in this country and has always
become amnesty, the bill calls for 400,000 new guest workers every year
and they will be put on a path to citizenship. This guarantees the
chamber has its constant flow of cheap labor.
It is about doubling legal immigration from 1million a year to two million
a year.
If that wasn’t enough, the bill does give in state tuition to all
illegals! How dumb are these Senators? How many millions will come here
illegally just to have their kids educated at our expense! And with no
border control what is going to stop them!
It is about more illegal immigration. With all these benefits for
illegals living here today, and no border security or employer
accountability this bill invites a massive new wave of illegal
immigration.
In short, the Senate has chosen to ignore the problem of illegal
immigration, and the outcry of most all Americans to secure the border and
enforce the laws.
I beg you—say a prayer tonight and tomorrow bright and early get on the
phones again! Express you outrage and if you can’t get through to the
Senators, call your Congressman—they can stop this bill from becoming law!
Thank you so much for all your help and support.

PS A staffer of one of the good guys in Congress told me tonight that the
calls coming in to the Congressional offices have now surpassed those
generated by the Dubai port debacle. The callers are furious, he said,
they can’t get through to their Senators’ offices, the lines are always
busy, and the message machines are overloaded so they can’t even leave a
message. You are making a difference—please don’t give up now.
