Thread: CSpan2 - Sen Vitter speaking on new Immigration Enforcement

Remember Schuler and other blue dog Democrats took the seats of Republicans. In those areas people are conservative. So the Democrats that were elected are conservative Democrats. If they want to keep their seats, they will have to be more in tune with their constituency than with Pelosi and the hard left.

Here's a list of the senators who have joined so far. I'm glad to see BOTH senators from N.C.!!! Notice how they're all "sutherners"...I'm sure they'll all be accused of racism!

Senators Form Border Security and Enforcement First Caucus

By Michele Godard - News Director
March 05 2008

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, U.S. Sens. David Vitter (R- Louisiana), Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Elizabeth Dole (R-North Carolina), Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia), Johnny Isakson (R-Georgia), Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) and Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) announced the formation of the Border Security and Enforcement First Caucus.

The U.S. illegal immigrant population is the highest it has ever been. One in 25 residents currently living in the United States is here illegally. Over the last seven years, immigration has been the highest in history – 10.9 million immigrants arrived, over half of them (five million plus) without legal status.

The Caucus members recognize that Congress has presented the American people with a false choice in solving the illegal immigration problem – give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up and deport them en masse. The principle mission of the Caucus is to promote a true, achievable alternative: attrition through enforcement and border security. Living illegally in the United States will become more difficult and less satisfying over time when the government – at ALL LEVELS – enforces all of the laws already on the books.

The Caucus will be a platform to let Americans know that some in the U.S. Senate are continuing to make sure that the laws already on the books will be enforced, act as the voice of those concerned citizens who have expressed their opinions time and time again for interior enforcement and border security, push for stronger border security and interior enforcement legislation, and work together in the U.S. Senate to defeat future legislation that offers amnesty.

Vitter: “Last year, the American people spoke loud and clear that amnesty is an unacceptable means of addressing the ever-growing illegal immigration problem in this country. Members of this caucus were listening, and we plan to make it our objective to push for interior enforcement measures that will address the illegal immigration problem without granting a free pass to millions of illegal aliens. As Chairman of the caucus I plan to look for any legislative vehicle available to pressure government on all levels to enforce the immigration laws currently on the books, as well as strengthen enforcement measures,â€

I was just "on hold" for Lou Dobbs' radio show to announce this, but they ran out of time and asked me to call back tomorrow. I then asked the associate to pass this info along to Lou.

This is a stat which I haven't heard before...amazing!

Just made all my calls of thanks to them. They all seemed very happy to hear support.

Go Alipacers make those thank you calls.

Today, U.S. Sens. David Vitter (R- Louisiana), Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Elizabeth Dole (R-North Carolina), Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia), Johnny Isakson (R-Georgia), Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) and Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) announced the formation of the Border Security and Enforcement First Caucus.

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM! That article made my day! Thanks for posting it carolinamtnwoman.

I will email each of them to express my thanks.

We warned you La Raza, but you didn't listen! You thought you could just scare, coerce, and steamroll 300 million Americans with your hate-mongering and race-baiting, but now the backlash is worse than your worst nightmare! All we asked for was secure borders, but you had to fight that and now we're going to get the whole enchilada! Arizona is just the beginning!

I emailed them as well!

We better stay a little bit humble so they don't change their minds!
