This is a special action for those of you who marked "Republican" on your interest surveys.

According to The Boston Globe, the White House is working with congressional Democrats on an amnesty-guestworker scheme: "President Bush has expressed an eagerness to work with Democrats on the issue in private meetings with lawmakers and in public statements."

President Bush wasted no time after the Democrats took control of both houses of Congress to announce his plans to work with Democrats to get his amnesty-guestworker scheme passed into law, telling reporters in his first press conference after the election that the Democratic majority would probably help him get his plan passed. The President's words and actions have encouraged the pro-amnesty politicians and lobbyists:

"The dynamics are right [for a guestworker amnesty]."

-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA, who will chair the Senate Immigration subcommittee in the 110th Congress)

"Some of the big obstacles to reform this year are now out of the way....We have a president that really wants this."

-Michele Waslin (director of immigration policy research for the National Council of LaRaza)

Take Action

Call the White House and blast President Bush for his relentless pursuit of a guestworker-amnesty scheme.

Why This Is Important Now

Despite the pro-amnesty leanings of President Bush, Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Arlen Specter (R-PA), the Democratic leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), and the appointment of Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) - one of the architects of the S. 2611 amnesty bill - as RNC Chairman, there is hope.

House Republicans still oppose the President's plans and the newly elected Democrats are not eager to pass an amnesty weeks after they ran campaigns against legalization for illegal aliens. Pro-amnesty groups know that their window of opportunity is small:

"If [amnesty] doesn't happen in the next six months or so, we're going to have to wait until January, '09."

- Ali Noorani (executive director of Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition)
My advice - act now before it's too late!
