Thread: FIGHT AGAINST AG JOBS AMNESTY!!!!!!!TIME TO TAKE ACTION !!!!

We need to all work to keep this directly in front of the American peoples eyes so it stays the main issue of the upcoming election. Its getting so bad its becoming to use a quote "the new third rail of national politics" Those politicians who support illegals over America need to have everyone made aware and reminded of those views.

I said it before...I'll say it again... the farmers without illegal aliens...can go to almost any Home Depot and find some I'm sure.

BRING IT ON, DIRTY HARRY.
YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO QUIT SO WE HAVE TO STOP YOU.

WHAT PART OF "NO" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND.
"NO" AMNESTY OF ANY KIND EVER AGAIN.
LEGAL IMMIGRATION ONLY.
TEMPORARY WORKERS PROGRAM "ONLY"

WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WILL FIGHT THIS AND WE ARE NOT LOSERS.

WELL SAID, DYEHARD!!!! WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE IGNORED ANY LONGER!!! LISTEN TO US!!!! WE ARE AS MAD AS HELL AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

SO TRUE!!! The pro illegal scum thinks that eventually the U.S. citizens will get tired, go away, and give up. That's when they will slip this lousy bill in. Guess what? We are NOT GOING TO GIVE UP, AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO AWAY!!

Ok activists, let's go get 'em. Please leave voice messages over the weekend, & fax etc. Remember, Senator Sessions said this would be amnesty for about 3.3 million people -- so this would be even larger than the Dream Act amnesty !!

Please call your own senators, then these on the Agriculture Committee, then others if you can:

Ready. There are too many options to have to go this route. And most of us are willing to pay that 10 cents extra (story on Dobbs) for our heads of lettuce. Use prisoners, automated picking, etclll

How long do they have to stick to farming to get their amnesty -what is the amendment proposing? What's to say they do 'their time' and then move on.

Thanks for the link Populist I copied and pasted the aritcle below!!!! I have been calling ,faxing and emailing and am going to continue between other stuff I have to do! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!! WITH OUR UNITED EFFORT WE WILL WIN AGAIN!!!!

The Ag JOBS Act: Immigration Amnesty Revived

by James Jay Carafano, Ph.D. and Diem Nguyen


After failing to secure amnesty for the over 12 million individuals unlawfully in the United States with a deeply flawed approach to comprehensive immigration reform, some Members of the Senate are now reintroducing amnesty piecemeal, spread across several bills. One is the "Ag JOBS Act of 2007" (S. 340), which could be attached to the upcoming farm bill. The bill contains the same language as this summer's failed immigration legislation, including provisions granting amnesty to undocumented workers. Instead of reviving amnesty, Congress should focus on reforming the existing H2-A agricultural worker visa program to allow legal flows of workers that meet the needs of employers and employees.

Ag JOBS Atrocity
The Ag JOBS Act would create a pilot program that provides work visas, called "blue cards," to guest workers who wish to work in the agricultural sector, regardless of whether they are currently illegally present. In sum, the Ag JOBS Act would grant amnesty to 1.5 million illegal agricultural workers and 1.8 million of their family members. Because it adopts a looser approach to the basic requirements that applicants must meet to be granted blue card status, this legislation would make it even easier for illegal immigrants to obtain legal status than under the Senate's comprehensive immigration bill. Three changes are especially significant:

In order to be considered for blue card status, applicants would only have to prove that they worked in agriculture for "863 hours or 150 work days," in 2005 and 2006, using government employment records or "other reliable documentation as the alien may provide." The wide variety of valid documentation will only make it easier to fabricate documents.
Applicants for blue card status would not need to return to their home countries before applying, as was required by a provision in the original immigration bill.
Applicants with pending criminal charges and those who have been convicted of some misdemeanors can still receive amnesty.
In addition to this amnesty, several provisions in the act would compound the illegal immigration problem:

A confidentiality clause would bar the Department of Homeland Security from using an applicant's information for alternative purposes, such as enforcing federal immigration laws.
Program participants are obligated to become citizens after 3 to 5 years of work in the agricultural sector. If a worker fails to do so, he will lose his visa and could be deported. Many migrant workers do not aspire to become citizens, and this provision would only discourage workers from joining the program.
The amendment also protects workers of blue card status from being fired unless the employer has "just cause." This protection is not even afforded to those American workers who work on an "at will" basis in many states, where they can be fired for any reason or no reason. This clause could mire employers in legal proceedings if a worker feels that he has been unjustly fired and would be a large disincentive for employers to hire workers with a blue card.

LETS GEAR UP ON THIS SO BY THE TIME THEY GET TO THE DEBATE AND VOTE WE WILL HAVE BLOWN THEM AWAY!!! GOOOOOOOOO PATRIOTS!!!!
