AG JOBS Talking Points:

Ag JOBS (S. 340) 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

Ag JOBS would grant amnesty to 1.5 million illegal agricultural workers and 1.8 million of their family members (over 3 million total).

A very loose approach to meeting amnesty requirements is written in. Fraud would exist on a wide scale. According to NumbersUSA, the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration already has a backlog of millions of applicants, and a new amnesty would allow “false documents and misrepresentations to go undetected.â€

If anyone is looking for a letter to e-mail and/or fax to Senators, I have posted one below. I hope some ALIPAC'ers will find it useful. If so, I encourage you to use it:


Dear Senator __________:

Just say NO to giving amnesty to over 3 million illegal alien agricultural workers and their families

Just say NO to massive fraud that would occur in the Ag Jobs amnesty application process

Just say NO to giving amnesty to illegal aliens who have pending criminal charges and have convictions for past crimes

Just say NO to giving amnesty to illegal aliens who don’t even have to return to their native land before applying and receiving the amnesty

Just say NO to the confidentially clause that prevents DHS from utilizing any information provided by the illegal aliens to enforce our immigration laws

Just say NO to the hardship provision that enables illegal aliens to get the amnesty even though they didn’t qualify for it

Just say NO to the path to citizenship that foreign nationals will be required to follow under the new blue card requirements

Just say NO to the special job protections the foreign nationals would receive that American citizens working side by side with them wouldn’t even receive.

Just say NO to rewarding illegal behavior and providing an additional magnet for foreign nationals to illegally enter America

Just say NO to the socio-ethnocentric advocacy groups and special interests that incessantly advocate for amnesty to the detriment of the entire country

Jut say NO to further lining the pockets of Agribusiness at the expense of the American worker, the American taxpayer and the American citizen

If you can’t do business legally, then you have no business being in business!

Stand with the vast majority of the American people who want our borders secured, our immigration laws enforced, illegal immigration stopped and NO AMNESTY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS!!

JUST SAY NO TO AG JOBS AMNESTY!!!
