Thread: NUMBERSUSA ALERT - FOREIGN VISAS

Vote on devastating bills to increase foreign workers (plus a smaller amnesty) happening today

DEAR FRIENDS,

The open-borders crowd is counting on most of you to sit out the vote today -- to not pick up the phone and call -- to not send a fax.

But more than a hundred thousand of you have sent a fax this week, and thousands have made calls.

We need everything you have this morning before the House Judiciary Committee votes on several bills to radically increase immigration and the number of foreign workers while the number of American jobs is dwindling.

Read about the crisis at the top of our home page in my blog, both at:
www.NumbersUSA.com

Find faxes to send and instructions for phone calls at:
www.NumbersUSA.com/actionbuffet

If you do not have House party leaders or Members of the Judiciary Committee in your state, you may not see action notes. But you can still make calls through the Capitol switchboard at:

202-224-3121

Ask for your own U.S. Representative so you can tell him/her about the outrage happening in the Judiciary Committee today.

We expect these bad bills will pass Judiciary despite all your calls. The main purpose of your calls is to build as big of a NO vote as possible so that House Democratic leaders will fret that it is too politically risky to bring these bills to the floor during the fall campaign season.

Please make the phone calls now. You will see the talking points when you click on the links above. But the main simple, short thing to say on the phone is:

"Please vote NO on every bill that would add foreign workers of any kind at a time when we are suffering our worst unemployment in five years."

Thanks,

Thanks GOGO have contacted by phone and fax the judiciary committee members.

Now that our nation is losing jobs by the ton, the last thing we need is to expand any guestworker program.

I can't believe it's even a consideration.

This is not an expansion of any guestworker program, neither is it an additional sum of green cards. It is trying to resurrect those that were not processed in past years due to inefficiencies at the USCIS. The people who will receive these are already here, they came in the front door, legally and have been patiently waiting for their green cards for multiple years.

There are two infact. If that is several?

There is a bill asking for 20,000 green cards which will be exempt from the regular employment based 140,000 per year for Physical Therapists and Nurses as these are considered to be in short supply.

Numbers USA are really painting this in their own way.

And how exactly is that not bringing in more foreign labor?

Ditto! The fact they would even propose such a program is disturbing and an insult to the American people.

Exactly I know an American whose daughter wants to go to nursing school and they say they have no room. Give me a break. This is cheaper labor period.
