Pro-Amnesty Groups Lobbying Congress Today
Thursday, December 4, 2008, 9:26 AM

Pro-amnesty grassroots leaders will hold a press conference this morning at 10:30 a.m. to ask Congress and the new Administration for an immediate moratorium on workplace enforcement action and a renewed effort on "comprehensive immigration reform." They are claiming the election showed Americans want an amnesty for illegal aliens and the businesses that hire them instead of citizens and legal residents. Following the press conference, 500 of these leaders will blanket the Hill to make personal appeals.

Please call your Representative and two Senators (202-224-3121) to tell them the country needs interior enforcement, but does not want to amnesty illegal aliens, particularly when ten million Americans can't find a job. NumbersUSA members are urged to check their Action Buffet for more information on calling and to fax their Members of Congress.

We need to make it clear that there are not enough jobs for American workers and if they buy into some kind of amnesty for illegal aliens Americans will be hurt dramatically. All social services, benefits and job training progrmas should be cut-off immediately to IA's and redirected toward American Citizens who need them in this time of economic crisis. Bottom line is Americans need the jobs IA's once occupied now more than ever.

Yes I just got the Numbersusa email alert. If you are members be sure to get your faxes out and make your phone calls.

This is what Roy Beck posted about this on his blog:

Pro-Amnesty Groups Are Anti-Hispanic-Americans (they prefer illegal workers over 9% unemployed Hispanics)

By Roy Beck, Thursday, December 4, 2008, 10:27 AM

(Passing an amnesty) promotes shared prosperity for all of us.

-- Pro-Amnesty Press Release for Rally on Capitol Hill

Prosperity for "all of us" Americans? Not likely.

But this mostly Hispanic interest group lobbying on Capitol Hill today suggests that "all of us" means all Hispanic-Americans.

But that doesn't work either. Amnesty will make Hispanic-Americans LESS prosperous.

So, who is "all of us?" Why, what this really means is that amnesty will make "all of us" special-interest, pro-amnesty lobbying groups more prosperous!

AMNESTY WORST ACTION FOR JOBLESS HISPANIC-AMERICANS

The lobbying today is intended mainly to intimidate Democratic Members of Congress into thinking that if they don't support Rep. Guitierrez (D-Ill.) and his amnesty plan that they will be seen as anti-Hispanic.

But an amnesty would be the most anti-Hispanic action Congress could take.

Unemployment among Hispanic-Americans (as opposed to illegal aliens) already has reached 9%!

Permanently tying up 7 million jobs with illegal foreign workers is the worst thing Congress could do for those jobless Hispanic voters.

The way to help jobless Hispanic-Americans -- as well as all jobless Americans -- is to require mandatory E-Verify to keep illegal aliens out of the jobs Americans so desperately need and to call a time-out on any importation of foreign workers.

The question you rightfully ask is this: If amnesty would hurt Hispanic Americans so much, why are these Hispanic leaders pushing it?

The answer is pretty ugly: These Hispanic leaders are more enthusiastic in creating more Democratic voters out of the amnestied illegals and in creating more members for their Hispanic organizations than they are in helping struggling Hispanic-American families.

Mines done...

Rep. Guitierrez (D-Ill.) makes me sick! :evil:


These calls, faxes and e-mails are so important everyone, we need to be heard NOW!!!

Thanks Sosad; can always count on you. Others, please help out.

Here are some telling facts from Bay Buchanan to refute the Wall Street Journal/OBL lies:

"The Wall Street Journal--whose editorial page promotes a constitutional Amendment entitled "There Shall Be Open Borders"-had an editorial yesterday called "immigration losers" where they gloated that five members of Tom's Immigration Reform Caucus lost as proof that immigration fails. They didn't bother to mention that the 22 Republican seats went down with the GOP ship...

The Facts: Yes, some anti-amnesty Republicans lost, but so did pro-amnesty politicians, not least of them being John McCain. The truth is Tancredo style Republicans did better than the average Republicans. Members of Tom's immigration reform caucus make up 51% of House Republicans, but only 39% of losing incumbents."

As always, sent NumbersUSA faxes. Additionally, made most of the requested calls (will make last one tomorrow). :wink:

I sent my fax and made phone calls this morning.

Not to mention Chambliss and Inhofe with both having Grade A on fighting amnesty and illegal immigration. You can write any story to fight any agenda if you skew and leave out full information.

Sent my fax too and made a couple of calls.

So did they actually have 500 representatives?? :)

I don't know, would like to have that answer also, not one word of this in the MSM :roll: imagine that!

Hey, have you see these latest poll results (12/3) from Rasmussen. Good info to use in our calls. Excerpts:

Seventy-four percent (74%) of U.S. voters continue to believe the federal government is not doing enough to secure the country’s borders ... Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters say gaining control of the border is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers in the country.
