    House of Representatives this week, 10 VICTORIES IN ALL!

    We didn't have just 1 victory in the House of Representatives this week, BUT 10 VICTORIES IN ALL!!!

    In fact, every immigration amendment vote to the 2012 Homeland Security spending bill the past two days went our way.

    Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado wrapped and delivered a great present to us when he requested a roll call vote on his amendment to end the 287(g) local enforcement program. His amendment was defeated with broad bi-partisan support with 75% of the votes cast opposing his amendment!
    Read Roy's detailed descriptions of all the votes.
    All in all, the House passed amendments to:

    set aside funding for Border Patrol to eliminate look-out posts along the U.S.-Mexico border;

    set aside funding to hire additional Shadow Wolves who track down smugglers along the border;

    reallocate funds to increase funding for the 287(g) program by nearly 20%;

    reallocate funding to increase support for the Law Enforcement Support Center;

    ensure that funding provided in the spending bill is used to enforce existing federal law requiring the detention of illegal aliens who are violent criminals awaiting deportation;

    withhold funding from cities that have sanctuary city policies in place;
    prohibit the Administration from offering amnesty through "deferred action";

    require all DHS contractors to use E-Verify to check new hires; and
    reallocate funds to build cell towers providing full service along the entire U.S.-Mexico border.

    For any of our activists who are concerned about the federal budget and homeland security, all of the amendments are budget neutral and only reallocate funding that was set aside for executive management of the department.

    Your phone calls on Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday certainly played a huge role in all of these victories! Now, we need you to fill your Rep.'s offices with faxes, thanking them or shaming them for their votes.

    I wonder if the sales of hip waders will go up now? Our little brown friends better get em while they can. Might come in handy for the trip home. This is only the start of better things to come.
