Take a Stand Against Unconstitutional Amnesty!
Take Action!



June 15, 2012

President Obama blatantly violated the Constitution once again today when he announced he will grant amnesty to over 800,000 illegal immigrants under the age of 31. The policy will allow these aliens to not only live but also work in the United States.

This policy is similar to that proposed in the Dream Act, which passed in the House of Representatives under Nancy Pelosi, but failed in the Senate in 2010, even while liberals still had a commanding majority.


House Judiciary Committee Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX) declared, “This huge policy shift has horrible consequences for unemployed Americans looking for jobs and violates President Obama’s oath to uphold the laws of this land." Smith went on, "How can the administration justify allowing illegal immigrants to work in the U.S. when millions of Americans are unemployed? President Obama and his administration once again have put partisan politics and illegal immigrants ahead of the rule of law and the American people.”

Watch Phyllis Schlafly's statement. As detailed in Phyllis's columns (here and here), Obama is consistently flouting the Constitution by implementing policy through the Executive branch that is too radical to get through even the Reid-Pelosi Congress. He did it with cap and trade and card check, now he has done it with amnesty, and we must not let him get away with it!

Conservatives in Congress are hard at work developing a strategy to stand up against this egregious abuse of power. Our friend Congressman Steve King (R-IA) has already declared that he will sue the Obama Administration to keep the policy from going into effect. King used this remedy successfully in Iowa when then-Governor, now U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack attempted to implement policy by Executive Order.

Take Action!

We need you to contact your Senators and Representatives and tell them to take a stand for the Constitution. They cannot let the President get away with as he put it “working his way around Congress” in violation of the Constitution.

Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

We need you to attend Town Hall meetings and get your friends and family to continue to call your legislators until they take action.

We will keep you posted as specific legislation comes together, but for now your legislators just need to hear that you want this problem addressed!
