Lambaste Pres. Obama for Protecting Illegal Alien Workers
President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Obama:
We are very concerned that your administration continues to postpone the implementation of an executive order requiring government contractors to use the E-Verify system. Don't you want unemployed Americans to find jobs? Are you trying to keep illegal aliens employed?
It is completely unethical to prevent the implementation of the E-Verify executive order when more than 14 million Americans are out of work! Do you truly believe that illegal aliens should have access to 7 million jobs when so many American workers are unable to find one?
I have always thought of you as a knowledgeable and compassionate individual who truly wanted to improve the lives of the American people. However, I cannot see how your decision to delay the implementation of this executive order helps unemployed Americans. On the contrary, I believe your decision will harm countless unemployed Americans who might have found a government-subcontracted job.
I hope that you are not using the E-Verify executive order as a bargaining chip in order to force through a mass amnesty. If this is the case, it will not work. We, the American people, have proven that we will not tolerate politicians who do not act in accordance to our wishes. Please keep this in mind when determining if it is wise to postpone the executive order's implementation for a fourth time.
Phone me if you would like to talk about this,
XXXXXXXXXX
P.S. The government has spent more than $12 trillion dollars responding to the financial crisis. But the overwhelming majority of that money has gone to big banks and big corporations. Your stimulus plan calls for $787 billion dollars in spending. That amounts to less than 7% of the government’s crisis spending. With all that said: Why are you not protecting the American Workers ~ WHERE is EVERIFY
Urge your Members of Congress to Push for Less Immigration!
Rep. Connie Mack
317 Cannon HOB, US House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Mack:
It is appalling that so many Americans are out of work but the United States continues to issue over 1 million green cards each year. Please act to rectify this injustice.
America's current immigration levels are unsustainable. In 1970, the population of the United States was slightly over 203 million. By the year 2000, America's population was estimated to be 281 million -- this was an increase of nearly 40%! Currently, there are over 303 million people living in the United State, an increase of 8% over 8 years. Our nation is bursting at the seams and the Congress refuses to do anything about it.
This catastrophe we find ourselves in the midst of is not a total surprise. President Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development was established to find ways "to bring people together to meet the needs of the present without jeopardizing the future." It determined that however immigration policy might be serving some narrow interests of the present, the resulting population growth was severely endangering the future.
It is unfortunate that the Council's findings were not acted upon when its report was released. I urge you to rectify this error and reduce the number of green cards issued by the United States. This solution is not a panacea, but it will improve the our nation's future. Please act to reduce the overall impact immigration has on our nation. Future generations are depending on you.
Feeling unrepresented,
XXXXXXXX
P.S. this is completely insane and everyone of you should be re-called, fired or booted out of office in 2010 - 2012. What in the Hell do we pay you to do?... that was a serious question. If you are not representing the out of work American citizen... Who are you representing?
Call and Urge your Members of Congress to Reduce Immigration Levels!
The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently considering a number of bills regarding immigration (these bills involve increasing the number of green cards and visas and amnestying illegal aliens, among other topics). Obviously, bills which increase the the population of the United States (either temporarily or permanently) are bad for a number of reasons.
Roy Beck will be testifying before the committee on June 3, 2009. Click here to read his testimony. http://www.numbersusa.com/content/node/2458
Please call your Senator(s) (who are not on Judiciary Committee) and your U.S. Representative and urge them support legislation to reduce the number of green cards allotted by the United States each year and oppose any and all efforts to increase the number of green cards.
These phone calls are very important because special interest groups are spending more than $50 million in lobbying efforts to encourage Congress to increase the number of green cards issued by the United States. Please be sure to be calm and reasoned in your arguments.
Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121
Calling is easy. Simply tell the staffer your name, where you are calling from, and urge your Members of Congress to oppose legislation that would increase overall immigration numbers and support legislation that would reduce overall immigration.
Talking Points:
Nearly 14 million Americans are unemployed and millions more have given up looking for employment. In these dire and uncertain economic times it is unwise to continue to issue more than one million green cards.
America's environmental situation can best be described as "tenuous." Farmland and pastures are disappearing to make way for highways and shopping centers and rivers are being dammed to create more energy for an ever-growing population. Surely, you and your Congressional colleagues realize that something must be done to reduce and stabilize America's population so that the impending environmental ruin can be averted.
I urge you to look at the findings of President Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development. This council of learned men and women determined that environmental stability in the United States would be impossible if the Congress continued to increase the number immigrants allowed into the country.
Special interest groups are planning to spend more than $50 million to encourage the Congress to increase the number of green cards. Please do not allow this travesty of justice to occur.

Talking point:
Annually, immigrants to the United States produce 637 million metric tonnes of CO2 -- a number equal to the total CO2 output of the United Kingdom and Sweden combined. Furthermore, had these individuals not come to the United States, their greenhouse gas emissions would have only been 155 million metric tonnes. Simply by issuing more than one million green cards each year, we are not only harming our nation's carbon footprint, but the world's as well.
Scold Sec. Napolitano for Failing to Support American Workers
Secretary Janet Napolitano
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
Dear Secretary Napolitano:
It is very worrisome that the Obama administration continues to postpone the implementation of rules that would help American workers and make our country more secure. We urge you to encourage President Obama allow the executive order mandating the use of E-Verify to take effect!
I urge you to put the interests of the American people over the interests of special interest of lobbying groups. The E-Verify system has been tried and tested and found to be very efficient and accurate. Mandating its use would help both unemployed Americans and government contractors and harm only those who have broken the law. With this in mind, I implore you to encourage President Obama to allow this executive order to take effect.
Please ignore the pleas of special interest groups and support this executive order!
Unable to comprehend your actions,
XXXXXXXXX
P.S. There are more than 14 million Americans who are unable to find a job. I hope this fact saddens you as much as it saddens me. However, your refusal to encourage President Obama to allow the E-Verify rule to take effect leads me to believe that you have little sympathy for unemployed Americans (many of whom voted for you).
Ask your Representative to cosponsor H.R. 1868 to prevent birthright citizenship
Rep. Connie Mack
317 Cannon HOB, US House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Mack:
I see the problem of anchor babies as a serious flaw in our immigration law. I am asking you to cosponsor H.R. 1868.
In its Spring 2005 edition, the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons reported that ?[b]etween 300,000 and 350,000 anchor babies annually become citizens? In 2003 in Stockton, California, 70 percent of the 2,300 babies born in San Joaquin General Hospital's maternity ward were anchor babies.?"
These staggering figures only tell part of the story. Birthright citizenship incentivizes illegal immigration by making anchor babies eligible to sponsor their illegal alien mothers and other relatives once they turn 21. In addition, at present, there is no formal policy that forbids DHS from deporting the illegal alien parents of a child born in the U.S. Yet in most cases, immigration officials habitually choose not to initiate removal proceedings, allowing the parents to remain in the U.S. illegally.
Sorely disappointed,
XXXXXXXXXXXX
P.S. This is a serious problem that must be addressed. I trust that you will take the steps to limit automatic citizenship by supporting H.R. 1868.
Urge your Congressmen to Help Unemployed Americans by Reducing Immigration
Rep. Connie Mack
317 Cannon HOB, US House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Mack:
The April unemployment numbers just released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics paint a very bleak picture. More than 539,000 Americans lost their jobs last month. I hope you find these numbers as saddening as I do. I hope you will consider reforming America's archaic immigration system so that unemployed Americans have a decent chance of finding a job.
The Department of Labor has just released the unemployed statistics for April and the numbers are quite depressing. 539,000 American workers lost their jobs in April. This means that the American economy lost nearly 3 million jobs in the first four months of this year. Something must be done to create jobs for American workers!
Luckily, there is a step Congress can take that would create more than 100,000 jobs for Americans each month. The United States currently admits 138,000 foreign workers each month. The majority of these foreign workers do not possess special skills or talents that Americans do not possess. In other words, American workers are more than capable of doing the jobs that these foreign workers do. Temporarily suspending non-essential immigration would create over one million jobs per year when our economy needs them most.
Feeling unrepresented,
XXXXXXXXXX
P.S. I urge you to work with your Congressional colleagues to promote American job growth my temporarily suspending non-essential immigration. There are nearly 14 million unemployed Americans counting on you!
Scold your Congressman for Cosponsoring the AgJOBS Amnesty!
Sen. Bill Nelson
SH-716, United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Nelson:
There are nearly 14 million unemployed Americans, which means that growers should have no problems finding workers for their crops. However, if they do need temporary employees, the H-2A program allows them to hire as many temporary foreign workers as they need. Please remove your name from this horrible bill!
Nearly 14 million Americans are out of work and the last thing these unfortunate Americans need is a mass amnestying of foreign workers.
I urge you to study the ramifications of the 1986 mass amnesty if you require further convincing. Illegal agricultural workers were granted amnesty so they could continue to work as agricultural workers, but also enjoy the full protections of U.S. labor laws. However, once they received their green cards, they left the fields and orchards en masse.
These, now amnestied, foreign workers began to work in other areas. This massive influx of foreign workers resulted in tremendous wage depression for American workers across a variety of work sectors.
With this in mind, I urge you to reconsider your support of the AgJOBS amnesty. The past has shown that the amnestying of illegal agricultural workers helps neither American workers nor growers. If you wish to help American growers you can encourage them to use the simple and effective H-2A program.

You cosponsored the AgJOBS amnesty during the 110th Congress, but I hope you will reconsider your support of this horrible idea. Nearly 14 million Americans are out of work and the last thing these unfortunate Americans need is a mass amnestying of foreign workers.

Urge your U.S. Representative to Support the CLEAR Act!
Rep. Connie Mack
317 Cannon HOB, US House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Mack:
The CLEAR Act is common-sense legislation designed to protect all Americans by making the enforcement of immigration laws in the interior of our country more effective. Please support this badly-needed measure. This legislation is all the more important because the Obama Administration's proposed budget for 2009 eliminates funding for SCAAP.
State and local police officers frequently come into contact with illegal aliens as they go about their regular duties. For instance, September 11 ringleader Mohammed Atta, while in the U.S. on an expired visa, was ticketed in Broward County, Florida, in the spring of 2001 for driving without a license. Had Atta been listed in NCIC as an immigration violator that ticket may have led to his deportation, thus potentially unraveling the entire plot.
The CLEAR Act, among its other provisions, recognizes local law enforcement's authority to help enforce immigration law, improves information sharing between local law enforcement agencies and the federal government, and requires the federal government to expeditiously remove criminal illegal aliens.
This legislation is made even more important because of President Obama's attempt to defund the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) which compensates localities for their apprehension and detention of criminal illegal aliens. The CLEAR Act would reauthorize this program and ensure that $400 million dollars goes where it is most needed -- to local law enforcement agencies that detain criminal illegal aliens.
SCAAP has broad bipartisan support and it would be a shame if the Obama Administration's 2009 budget eliminated the program. Please do all you can to protect local communities by cosponsoring the 2009 CLEAR Act.
Sorely disappointed,

Ask your U.S. Representative to cosponsor H.R. 2305 and end the visa lottery
Rep. Connie Mack
317 Cannon HOB, US House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Mack:
I believe cosponsoring H.R. 2305 to end the visa lottery is one of the most important immigration actions you can take this year.
The visa lottery was established by the Immigration Act of 1990, and grants visas for approximately 50,000 foreign nationals per year to come and live permanently in the United States based on pure luck! Unfortunately, the visa lottery also constitutes a gaping hole in our nation's security.
The 9/11 Commission Report states: "The challenge for national security in an age of terrorism is to prevent the very few people who may pose overwhelming risks from entering or remaining in the United States undetected." It goes on to say that "For terrorists, travel documents are as important as weapons ? terrorists use evasive methods, such as altered and counterfeit passports and visas ? and immigration and identity fraud."
Far greater than merely permitting terrorists to travel into the country, the visa lottery system may actually be granting terrorists and foreign spies the coveted status of legal permanent resident. With this tool in hand, terrorists would be free to travel, meet and plan terrorist activities with far less questioning than those who enter with fraudulent visas.
Eliminating the visa lottery would further the 9/11 Commission Report recommendation that "the United States should combine terrorist travel intelligence, operations, and law enforcement in a strategy to . . . constrain terrorist mobility." Perhaps no federal government-sanctioned program would do more to allow terrorist mobility than the visa lottery program.
Please help secure our nation and protect jobs for unemployed Americans by cosponsoring H.R. 2305 to end the visa lottery.
Respectfully resentful,
XXXXXXXXX
P.S. Furthermore, there are nearly 14 million Americans unemployed. Don't you find it appalling that the United States continues to allow individuals with no special skills to come to this country? These people will invariably compete with America's unemployed for the few jobs our economy is creating. Is this fair to America's downtrodden?
Blast your Congressman for Supporting the DREAM Act Amnesty!
Sen. Bill Nelson
SH-716, United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Nelson:
Illegal immigration is one of the most serious problems facing our nation and the DREAM Act amnesty would only encourage more individuals to enter the country illegally! How can you support such a mass amnesty when so many American and legal immigrant youths are unable to attend institutions of higher learning?
The DREAM Act is not a small amnesty for a select group of individuals. In fact, it allows illegal "teens" (i.e., anyone under 35) to petition for their parents, leading eventually to their aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins, to come to the United States.
In 2007, the big argument for this amnesty is that it is for teenagers who are here illegally because their parents broke the law. Even with the less-than-35 age requirement, this amnesty will apply to more than just teens ("humanitarian" and "family unity" exceptions were added to the age limit). Nonetheless, the argument is that the teenagers should not be punished for the crimes of their parents.
However, as soon as DREAM amnesty citizens are over 21, they can bring in their parents, who broke the law to get them into the country in the first place, back into the U.S. (or to keep them here legally after years of avoiding deportation). The chief criminals will be rewarded after all. And due to chain migration, the amnestied "teens" can petition for their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents to get permanent U.S. residency as well.
This a back-door amnesty for the parents of these illegal "teens," and a chain migration nightmare for the country.
Please renounce your support for the DREAM Act amnesty. There are nearly 14 million unemployed Americans and the Congress should not consider passing any amnesty when so many Americans are out of work (and so many illegal aliens have jobs). If you are determined to support such an anti-American bill, please make sure that it makes the use of E-Verify mandatory (to take away an incentive for another mass influx of illegal aliens) and eliminates the chain migration category for parents and adult siblings (to prevent this amnesty from ballooning into a mass influx of legal immigrants who will compete with unemployed Americans).

Get'm Florida
Blast Gov. Charlie Crist for Supporting Comprehensive Amnesty!
Governor Charlie Crist
Office of the Governor
Tallahassee, FL 32399
Dear Governor Crist:
We believe you have done a great job serving as Florida's governor. We were looking forward to supporting your bid to succeed Sen. Mel Martinez until we heard your comments regarding "comprehensive immigration reform."
There are nearly 14 million Americans who are unemployed, but more than 7 million illegal aliens have jobs. Does this seem fair to you? Don't you realize that a mass amnesty would permanently disemploy 7 million American workers. Your support for the 2007 Bush Kennedy McCain amnesty bill is very unsettling.
The only people who would benefit from a mass amnesty are illegal aliens (who broke the law by entering the country or overstaying their visas) and the unscrupulous businessmen who employ them. An amnesty would allow these businessmen to continue to pay immigrant workers substandard wages while and the same time keeping American workers unemployed. How does this help our country?
Unable to comprehend your actions,
XXXXXXXX
P.S. I urge you to reconsider your support for amnesty. Illegal aliens cost Florida $2.3 billion each yeah and a mass amnesty would permanently disemploy thousands of Florida workers.

Are you aware that the American Farm Bureau, the organization that protects the rights of America's farmers, does not support the AgJOBS amnesty? Why are some of your colleagues foisting an agricultural amnesty on the American people that farmer do not even want?
The Farm Bureau does not support the AgJOBS amnesty because the H-2A program provides farmers with an UNLIMITED source of foreign labor. Why would any Congressman even consider supporting amnestying nearly 1.5 million illegal agricultural workers when farmers do not even need these workers?
While a few of your colleagues have decided to back a mass amnesty, I hope you will oppose it!

Gov. Crist says he would push amnesty in Senate
As you might be aware, Florida Governor Charlie Crist will be contesting Sen. Mel Martinez's Senate seat when Martinez retires in 2010. While Crist may be good on many issues, it seems that he is misinformed on immigration issues. During a speech to the Daytona Beach Chamber Commerce, Crist said he would support an immigration bill similar to the failed 2007 legislation that many Republicans opposed because it provided a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. He went on to say, "I like Sen. Martinez' and Sen. McCain's approach.... I thought they had the right idea and maybe just a little more support up there would help it get it done.
Obviously, his support for comprehensive amnesty is worrisome. Please call Gov. Crist and urge him to reconsider his support for an amnesty that would harm all of Florida's workers (both employed and unemployed).

A recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform shows that illegal aliens cost the state $2.3 billion dollars in net outlays each year.

I was prepared to support his bid to replace Mel Martinez in the U.S. Senate, but now I am not so sure.
Talking point:
I was very worried by the comments Gov. Crist made to reporters after speaking to the Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Volusia County Tiger Bay Club. How could he say, "I like Sen. Martinez' and Sen. McCain's approach (to amnesty).... I thought they had the right idea and maybe just a little more support up there would help it get it done?" How can he support amnesty when nearly 14 million Americans are unemployed?
