ALIPAC Response to President Trump's Special Assistant Kelly Sadler's e-mail
Kelly,
Please remind President Trump that he campaigned against DACA, not passing it into law. He also campaigned against Amnesty, not supporting Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty. Trump criticized Jeb Bush for calling illegal immigration an "act of love" and now calls for an Amnesty "Bill of Love?"
Any short-term gains by building a wall or reducing chain migration will become meaningless if Trump continues to back DACA and Comprehensive legislation that will add millions more Democrat voters thus making any future MAGA Presidential campaigns impossible.
The President broke a lot of patriotic American hearts with his comments yesterday after surrounding himself with the most notorious Amnesty backing Republicans and Democrats in Washington. If Senator Ted Kennedy was still alive, he would have been there helping seal the deal.
Our organization remains committed to the existing immigration laws of the USA which Trump is refusing to enforce against many illegal immigrants as he promised he would during his campaign.
Broken promises like these are what is causing America's decline.
I lost a lot of supporters when I endorsed Trump, donated to his campaign, manned phone banks, put out signs, demonstrated on overpasses for his candidacy, and attended his inauguration.
He has betrayed the millions of American supporters like me who share my concerns and opposition to illegal immigration and Amnesty.
Trump's support for DACA Amnesty will turn many swing states blue and hand permanent control of US elections, laws, and government to the Democrats within a decade of passage. Passage of this legislation will ensure Americans endure decades of totalitarian socialism under the rulership of candidates like Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Obama, Sanders, and even worse leftists who will dominate national elections with their future DACA voters and campaign workers.
We intend to do all we can stop Trump's Amnesty.

Subject: IMMIGRATION REFORM | TALKING POINTS
IMMIGRATION | TALKING POINTS
____________________________________
- Border Security (Wall, technology, personnel and legal reforms)
- Ending Chain Migration
- Eliminating the Visa Lottery System
- DACA
ANY DEAL ON DACA MUST END CHAIN MIGRATION, ELIMINATE THE VISA LOTTERY, AND FULLY SECURE THE BORDER, INCLUDING WITH A WALL.
REMINDER:
In 2006, Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden voted to construct hundreds of miles of fencing along the border via the Secure Fence Act.
____________________________________
OVERALL: In pursing immigration reform, President Trump’s No.1 priority is everyday hardworking Americans citizens. It’s time for an immigration system that serves the national interest.
BORDER SECURITY:
- A border wall is necessary secure the border
- When the wall went up in Yuma and San Diego, illegal entries went down 95%
- The Trump administration is committed to getting the dollars for the physical wall appropriated.
- The President will not sign a “clean” DACA bill that doesn’t include border security—including a wall, personnel, technology, and legal reforms.
CHAIN MIGRATION:
- Foreign nationals coming to the U.S. are admitted primarily on the basis of family ties—and not on the basis of skill or merit.
- In the last decade, the U.S. permanently resettled 9.3 million immigrants on the basis of family ties—that’s a population larger than the size of Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and Cleveland COMBINED.
- Every single day, the U.S. resettles a population of immigrants admitted on the basis of family ties that is large enough to fill a big, metropolitan high school
- Family-based immigration has accounted for more than 70% of immigration to the U.S.
- Only 1 in 15 immigrants resettled each year on green cards is admitted on the basis of skills
- Because there is no real selection criteria, our current immigration “system is totally incompatible with national security.”
- As we saw with the recent terror attacks in New York City, Chain Migration and the Visa Lottery system do not represent a security-based approach to immigration
- Chain Migration, which has been a significant source of low-skilled immigration to the U.S., also imperils the economic security of vulnerable American workers—particularly African American workers, Hispanic workers, and immigrant workers already here.
VISA LOTTERY SYSTEM:
- The President wants Congress to enact a higher legal threshold for gaining permanent residence in the United States, including criteria that consider a potential immigrant’s likelihood to economically contribute, succeed, and assimilate.
- Every single year, through a computer-generated random drawing, the Visa Lottery selects 50,000 foreign nationals to apply for permanent residence in the United States and get Green Cards. Many of them have absolutely no ties to the United States, no special skills, and limited education.
- The Visa Lottery program’s low qualifying standards (only a high school education or equivalent or two years of qualifying work experience) mean there is no guarantee that lottery winners can contribute to our economy and no guarantee they will not undercut or replace American workers.
- Moreover, there are national security concerns. Last year, alleged New York City terrorist and Uzbek national, Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, was randomly selected and invited to permanently resettle in the United States through the Visa Lottery program.
