Thread: Biden calls for Amnesty budget to be passed this week!

The news reports indicate that Joe Biden has told Pelosi and Schumer he wants his budget bill passed this coming week!

Whether the bill will contain the Amnesty provisions or not remains to be seen. Thanks to your activism and support for ALIPAC, we have pushed back their timeline and mounted incredible pressure against Amnesty 2021.

We need all of our volunteers ready for heavy battle this week, making calls to DC and reading the bill text rapidly if/when it becomes available to us.

This is your heads up to be ready to rumble.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO SAY TO THESE FIVE SENATORS ON AMNESTY AND WAGES.

Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada) (202) 224-3542
Senator Cortez Masto said that "many people who have been able to find work are still unable to live off the wages they earn. It is long past time for Congress to raise the minimum wage so working Americans can feed their families off the pay they earn."
https://catherinecortezmasto.com/issues

Mark Kelly (Arizona) (202) 224-2235
Then there's Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. Mark Kelly said that the "current minimum wage can't support a family. You can't make ends meet"
https://www.newsweek.com/mark-kelly-...pposes-1569039

Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire) (202) 224-3324
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire said that "we must act to raise the minimum wage to ensure that hardworking Americans have a fair shot at success."
https://www.shaheen.senate.gov/news/...-wage-increase

Raphael Warnock (Georgia) (202) 224-3643
When asked about raising the minimum wage, Raphael Warnock said the following: "As often is the case, what the morally right thing to do is also the smart thing to do. It’s right to pay workers for the work that they do. And when we do, I think we actually spur the economy, and it helps all of us"
https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/w...t-102194245931

Kyrsten Sinema (202) 224-4521
Sinema also wrote the following: "Bipartisan working groups to which I belong are negotiating how to ... raise the federal minimum wage."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...he-people-act/

Call all five of them, repeat their own quotes to them on the minimum wage and then repeat the following information that I wrote below over the phone:

Harvard Economist, George Borjas, said that with illegal immigration "there is a sizable redistribution effect. Illegal immigration reduces the wage of native workers by an estimated $99 to $118 billion a year, and generates a gain for businesses and other users of immigrants of $107 to $128 billion."
https://cis.org/Report/Immigration-and-American-Worker

Paul Krugman, economist, and nobel prize winner agreed with George Borjas. Krugman wrote "many of the worst-off native-born Americans are hurt by immigration -- especially immigration from Mexico. Because Mexican immigrants have much less education than the average U.S. worker, they increase the supply of less-skilled labor, driving down the wages of the worst-paid Americans. The most authoritative recent study of this effect, by George Borjas and Lawrence Katz of Harvard, estimates that U.S. high school dropouts would earn as much as 8 percent more if it weren't for Mexican immigration."
https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/27/o...he-border.html

Barbara Jordan also said that there is "no national interest in continuing to import lesser-skilled and unskilled workers to compete in the most vulnerable parts of our labor force. Many American workers do not have adequate job prospects. We should make their task easier to find employment, not harder."
https://www.nationalreview.com/corne...ration-legacy/

Bernie Sanders agreed with George Borjas, Barbara Jordan and Paul Krugman. Here is what he said back in 2015: “Open borders? No, that's a Koch brothers proposal. ... It would make everybody in America poorer ... What right-wing people in this country would love is an open-border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country, I think we have to do everything we can to create millions of jobs.”

Lastly, tell them that if they vote for amnesty in the reconciliation bill they forever forfeit the right to claim that they care about the workers and low wages ever again!!!!!

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO SAY TO SENATORS SINEMA AND MANCHIN ON AMNESTY AND FISCAL RESTRAINT.

Kyrsten Sinema (202) 224-4521
Senator Sinema said, "I do not support a bill that costs $3.5 trillion"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...ocial-n1275330

Sen. Joe Manchin 202-224-3954
Manchin has also expressed concern over the 3.5 trillion dollar price tag of bill. “An overheating economy has imposed a costly 'inflation tax' on every middle- and working-class American. At $28.7 trillion and growing, the nation’s debt has reached record levels. Over the past 18 months, we’ve spent more than $5 trillion responding to the coronavirus pandemic. Now Democratic congressional leaders propose to pass the largest single spending bill in history with no regard to rising inflation, crippling debt or the inevitability of future crises. Ignoring the fiscal consequences of our policy choices will create a disastrous future for the next generation of Americans."
https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsr...er-35-trillion

Manchin also said the following:
"My top line has been 1.5 because I believe in my heart that what we can do and what — the needs we have right now and what we can afford to do, without basically changing our whole society to an entitlement mentality."
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/wh...-expected-vote

Call Senators Sinema and Manchin, repeat their own quotes to them on fiscal restraint and then repeat the following information that I wrote below over the phone:

In 2006, Paul Krugman, economist and nobel prize winner who is also liberal wrote that the "low-skill immigrants don't pay enough taxes to cover the cost of the benefits they receive." He also wrote that "modern America is a welfare state, even if our social safety net has more holes in it than it should -- and low-skill immigrants threaten to unravel that safety net."
https://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/27/o...he-border.html

A CNN article at https://money.cnn.com/2018/01/04/new...are/index.html says that "as many as 71 percent of undocumented adults do not have insurance."

Obama admitted this. In his book, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" on page 263 at https://books.google.com/books?id=k85pcYttpW0C&pg=PA263 Obama wrote that illegal immigration "threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net."

But these facts are only a description of the threat to the safety net by the 11 million illegal aliens residing in this country. If amnesty is passed in this reconciliation bill, it will only make illegal immigration worse.

It will encourage people to come illegally from Mexico. A Center for Immigration Studies article at http://cis.org/ZogbyPoll-EffectsOfAmnesty mentioned a Zogby poll of Mexicans which said that a "clear majority of people in Mexico, 56 percent, thought giving legal status to illegal immigrants in the United States would make it more likely that people they know would go to the United States illegally" and of "Mexicans with a member of their immediate household in the United States, 65 percent said a legalization program would make people they know more likely to go to America illegally." The poll also stated that increased immigration enforcement was one of the reasons "fewer people were going to America as illegal immigrants and more were coming back to Mexico."

It will also encourage people to come illegally from the rest of Latin America. What about the rest of Latin America? According to a Gallup poll "42 million -- said they want to go to the United States. ... Seekers of citizenship or asylum are watching to determine exactly when and how is the best time to make their move."
https://news.gallup.com/opinion/chai...n-migrate.aspx

And it will even encourage people to come illegally from all across the globe. "In the remote Darien region of Eastern Panama, migrants and asylum seekers from around the world arrived ... Migrants from Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Cuba, and Haiti converge here, all trying to get to the U.S."
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ho...dly-darien-gap

And they are coming because "a lot of asylum seekers right now are hopeful is that, with the new administration of Joe Biden, that there may be a lot of dramatic changes that could allow them to settle into a life more quickly and easily in the United States."
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/th...er-in-brooklyn

In a story on PBS Newshour at https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy...ees-in-america economist Jeffrey Sachs said that if "borders were simply opened and anybody could go where they want, ... hundreds of millions of people would be on the move and would overwhelm budgets and social services".

Lastly, tell them that if they vote for amnesty in the reconciliation bill they forever forfeit the right to claim that they care about the budget and fiscal restraint!!!!!
