Subject: [TA] Bush to Fox: Amnesty dead…..at least for awhile

Dear Friend,

A British news source is reporting that this weekend at the G-8 summit
President Bush told Mexico’s Fox that amnesty is dead, at least this
year!!! According to the source Fox told a Mexican radio station that Bush
told him the time is very short before Congress goes home for election
campaigning. “So the chance of the immigration issue reaching approval in
the House of Representatives and reaching joint approval isn't very high."

We did it!! We stopped amnesty at least for this year! Your calls and
visits and bricks—all our efforts paid off. We made it clear to
Washington that illegal immigration is a voting issue and that amnesty was
absolutely unacceptable.

We made our voice so loud --Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL) even held up a
brick sent her by Team America to emphasis how serious America is about
border security---- that Republicans had to listen. And they did!
Republican Majority Leader Boehner was quoted last week as saying the
movement in Washington is now toward the House’s enforcement only bill!
Only a few weeks ago the President was hard at work on a compromise
agreement—with border security and enforcement first, then guest worker—it
went no where!

Instead House Republicans decided to take the show on the road and held a
few hearings in Middle America. They came back more determined than ever!
They have called for seven more hearings and they are setting up an
immigration war room to push their new found enforcement–first strategy.
The Senate, however, is still playing games. That traitorous bill they
passed in April called for 370 miles of fence along our southern border
but this week the Senate voted against funding the very fence they voted
to build. They never intended to build a fence or secure our border.
And there are those in the House that are nothing but talk. Border
security hero Rep Steve King (R-IA) introduced an amendment to the Voting
Rights Act that would have stripped a requirement for multi-lingual
ballots. Both the House and Senate voted to make English the official
language and even the amnesty crowd support an English proficiency test
for citizenship.

So the King’s amendment should have had virtually no opposition! Instead
44 Republicans voted with the Democrats to require the taxpayer to fund
ballots in up to 25 languages! (list of Republicans who voted against
Amendment http://www.teamamericapac.org/index.php?p=94 )

So what does English as the official language mean? Nothing, absolutely
nothing to too many of our so-called representatives. It is just another
tool with which to appease the masses.

Friend, while we have stopped the Senate and Pence sell-outs for the
moment my concern is that after the November elections the President will
call a lame duck session of Congress and try to pass a huge amnesty. In
the meantime he will do nothing to secure our borders or enforce our laws.
Anything you read to the contrary is all for show.

We must make use of this time—between now and the election-- to make
certain that immigration is the issue on which Americans vote. Otherwise
we will lose the nation some time after November—count on it.

We at Team America will be coming up with a plan to build our momentum
through the election and right into the New Year. It is astounding we have
come this far--but we can’t relax for a moment. Our corporate opponents
are working every day, we must do the same.

I’ll let you know what our next step should be—and don’t hesitate to send
me your ideas.

My best,

Bay

P.S. Team America has endorsed Kevin Calvey for the Oklahoma Republican
Primary in Congress. Kevin Calvey is our kind of candidate--no
guestworkers, no amnesty, no increase in foreign workers—just border
security and enforcement. He has an uphill battle but it is an honor to
throw our support behind him. I urge all of you to support him and check
out his website www.kevincalvey.com especially this great video ad
