...and tighten our message. I think we can focus on a few points much more effectively. Can we crystalize our objections into sound-bite length statements? The real non-starters. The ones they have no defense for. Make sure they are factual. For example:

This bill gives Amnesty/legalizes *known* gang members. We aren't saying gang members "slip through" but those with gang ties are given Amnesty. And be ready with the citation of where that is in the bill. (I have tried to do a search with "gang" and "amnesty" but some key words in the threads make that difficult. I saw a thread that had this mentioned, though.)

Low wage earners like those that will be legalized will bankrupt Social Security. Be ready with the figures that show low-wage earners take far more from the system than they contribute.

This bill weakens enforcement - it shortens the fence.
