Thread: My email reply from Saxby Chambliss

I emailed him this morning regarding his vote and here's his timely reply:


Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts about immigration reform. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this important and emotional issue.



Our current immigration system is broken and needs reform. Any reform Congress enacts must meet our national security needs and our economic interests; it must also manage the number of people we admit into the U.S. to ensure American workers and families are not negatively impacted by our immigration system.



The recently announced bipartisan agreement on immigration reform is a step in the right direction toward reaching a final and comprehensive immigration bill. This legislation is a significant improvement over last year's bill, which I opposed, but this is not a perfect bill. For me to support any final bill, it must contain the following principles that are important to Georgians:

Strong border security before any new immigration programs go into effect in order to prevent future illegal immigration

An employer verification system that can provide employers certainty with respect to the status of potential employees

A meaningful temporary worker program that is truly temporary and does not provide a pathway to citizenship while allowing employers to fill jobs for which insufficient numbers of American can be found, such as agricultural jobs

No amnesty



Our nation's immigration problem has been in the making for many years and there is no easy fix. I have chosen to be proactive and engaged during the negotiations because my involvement is the right thing for Georgia and the right thing for America 's future. As the debate progresses, I will continue the fight to ensure that our nation is secure and our economy continues to thrive.

So is this good news? Are we supposed to assume that he voted yes because he felt the need for this bill to be debated? Does this mean that he will vote for cloture again in two weeks but if the bill contains "amnesty" he will vote against it?

I hope he stays true to what he wrote in the E-mail. We need to keep mailing, faxing and calling so they know we mean business.

I would like the border security issue cleared up. The sell-out bill WEAKENS it if it shortens the fence! What else are they trying to sell us to say it is strengthened?

Nicole, I was curious about that too. I just emailed him back asking those questions. We'll see.

This is funny - that is the exact email I got from Senator Martinez in Florida. - I guess they all get the same pre-generated response email. I thought I was getting something new

I emailed Senator Martinez from Florida and got the exact same response that you got. I guess they all get the same make you think they read your email response.

It is sad that the American taxpayer and workers is so easily sold out.

Oh my gosh, that is sooo bad!
