Thread: Alabama’s Aderholt delivers bill defunding Obama’s immigration actions

I will be calling my Congressman in support of this bill by Aderholt, Lamar Smith and one other. Not because I like them, but I do like the contents of the bill such as restoring Secure Communities, authorizing local authorities to arrest and hold aliens, and several other points like barring the present and any future Exec. actions by the exec. branch to make immigration law. Sometimes when the jar holding the honey offends me the contents are great. I think this is one of those times. i'm tossing my 202 lbs. of weight into support of this bill.

URGENT ACTION ROY BECK, NUMBERSUSA PRESIDENT New amendment in House Appropriations Committee would turn back (1) November executive amnesty, (2) 2012 executive DREAM amnesty, (3) all kinds of other executive actions that have gutted immigration enforcement since 2009

PLEASE SEND THIS FAX NOW: @ https://www.numbersusa.com/ DEAR FRIENDS, I know you will want to hear about the Aderholt bill which meets two essential criteria for me to come to you with highest excitement: No. 1: It has a chance to pass. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.) is a member of the House Appropriations Committee where he is introducing his bill as an amendment to be attached to the spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security. He is a respected senior Member among the mainstream of House Republicans. He is already getting support from other Committee members. The House Republican leadership has promised to pass something that de-funds at least the most recent executive amnesty. The Aderholt bill is one of the three or four that is shaping up as the likely vehicle. No. 2: It deals with the overall problems of immigration enforcement. We've all been waiting for a bill like this for six years as the Obama Administration has systematically re-shaped immigration laws and stopped and distorted all kinds of enforcement. The Aderholt bill not only de-funds the executive amnesty the President announced in November but it also overturns unilateral anti-enforcement actions he has been taking for six years. THE ADERHOLT BILL: Prohibits the President's use of granting parole to illegal aliens Prohibits the Administration from granting work permits to all illegal aliens Defunds all executive actions on immigration, including all memos issued by the Department of Homeland Security Closes the loophole that played a large role in last summer's border surge by treating illegal aliens from non-contiguous countries the same as contiguous countries, making them easier to remove Prohibits illegal aliens from accessing Social Security, medicare, and benefits from the Affordable Care Act Reinstates the Secure Communities program Restricts federal funding to municipalities that provide sanctuary to illegal aliens Prohibits the government from providing legal council to illegal aliens in removal proceedings Restricts the Administration's ability to grant and extend Temporary Protected Status to illegal aliens Send this fax to your U.S. Representative to make sure he/she knows that there is passionate support in your District to stop DHS from issuing work permits to millions of illegal aliens. Everything is moving fast. The Appropriations Committee votes on de-funding options as early as tomorrow (Friday). The full House may be voting on a final DHS spending bill as early as next Wednesday, sending it to the Senate. You will remember that in December, NumbersUSA activists flooded Capitol phone lines with calls for the House to vote on a spending bill that included a de-funding of the executive amnesties. We lost that skirmish. Instead, Congress funded most of the government through September but funded DHS (Homeland Security) only into February. Although it is a much restricted opportunity for what we wanted, this is our chance to stop the amnesty with the wording of the DHS spending bill this month. Speaker John Boehner sounded good today when he met the media. Earlier in the day, pro-illegal-immigration forces began promoting the idea that because of the terrorism in Paris, the House Republicans would have to back off "threatening to shut-down" the federal security agency over the amnesty issue. Asked about that, Speaker Boehner today said: "I don't think the funding of DHS is at risk. What I do think is at risk is the rule of law and our Constitution, and we have to act -- so we will." Various Republicans are saying the House will pass a bill that fully funds DHS the rest of the year but prohibits spending any money to give out work permits and other benefits to illegal aliens. If the President vetoes that bill, they say, it is the President who would be shutting down DHS. Speaker Boehner has rarely shown a lot of spine in standing up to the open-border crowd, so his statement today was reassuring. Your faxes today -- and responses to other requests over the next week -- will help ensure that the Speaker sticks to his promise to act in defense of the rule of law and the Constitution. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP,

I have a lot of faith in Sen. Sessions. To date he has been one of the few that has been consistently on our side on this issue. Furthermore, he has been our strongest voice in the U.S. Congress. IMO, Sen. Sessions support on this bill is a very good thing.
