Thread: STOP SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES NOW!...... ACTION ALERT!!!!!!

`
FROM NUMBERS ACTION ALERT:

You have a chance to help pass an amendment Tuesday that would effectively end the outlaw "sanctuary city" movement.

You have to start phoning first thing Tuesday morning and ask your Senators to vote FOR Sen. Vitter's anti-sanctuary amendment to the H.R. 3093 appropriations bill. This is known as the "CJS spending bill" (commerce, justice and science).

Phone 202-224-3121

See phone talking points below.

We will send you an email and post results on our website when your phone calls are no longer needed.

The amendment by Sen. Vitter (R-La.) would deny a popular federal police grant to cities that adopt "sanctuary" policies. These are policies that prohibit police from reporting illegal aliens to the feds.

If the amendment passes, it is unlikely that any city would give up the federal funding in order to continue to provide sanctuary to illegal aliens.

Generally, sanctuary policies instruct city employees not to notify the federal government of the presence of illegal aliens living in their communities. The policies also end the distinction between legal and illegal immigration--so illegal aliens often benefit from city services too.

NumbersUSA members have to carry the responsibility to get this passed. Talk Radio has not been revved up on this. This amendment has come up so fast that hardly any organization has notified its members.

The burden falls on you nearly half-million NumbersUSA members. The only way this anti-sanctuary amendment can pass is if you pick up that phone and make the calls. Only then will Senators realize they will be held accountable for how they act on this.

We will be grading this heavily in our Immigration-Reduction Grade Cards.

Large numbers of people have been robbed, raped, beaten and even murdered by illegal aliens who came in contact with police in sanctuary cities but were let go because the police weren't allowed to report them to the feds.

Even larger numbers of Americans have seen the quality of life of their communities and their occupations deteriorated because of the presence of masses of protected illegal aliens in these sanctuary cities.

And Americans everywhere tend to see more illegal immigration into their communities simply because the publicity about sanctuary cities entices more foreign workers to decide to move to the U.S. to become illegal aliens.

Let's put an end to Sanctuary City policies NOW!

PHONE TALKING POINTS

Call your state's two U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121.

OR

CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS HERE:

http://www.alipac.us/modules.php?name=F ... ic&t=63874


TELL THE STAFFER WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

I am calling about H.R. 3093, the CJS spending bill.


I am urging a YES vote on Sen. Vitter's amendment to prohibit "COPS" money to cities that support sanctuary policies. (COPS is a federal grant program to state and local law enforcement agencies to advance community policing.)

THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY AND THEN SAY 'THANK YOU.' OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO PICK ONE TO THREE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO MENTION:

Only Senators who seek to protect illegal aliens and promote illegal immigration would vote against the Vitter amendment. I am counting on Sen. xmxmxmx to vote YES.


Sanctuary policies have been against federal law since the 1996 federal immigration law required local governments to cooperate with Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But many cities have refused to do so, adopting so-called "sanctuary policies." Unfortunately, the Clinton and Bush Justice Departments have refused to bring suit against these cities.


The Vitter amendment would seek to eliminate sanctuary policies in local municipalities, whereby law enforcement officials are barred from asking suspects about their immigration status or reporting them to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).


The amendment would ensure that existing law is enforced uniformly across the country by withholding COPS federal funding for cities that choose to violate section 642(a) of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA).


It is highly unlikely that any sanctuary cities in our state will lose funding because nearly all of them will end up ending their sanctuary policies once they see they will lose federal funding by keeping them.

BONUS AMENDMENT

When you call your Senators, also ask them to support an amendment from Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.).

It would add $75 million for 287(g) program-related training, exercises, and technical assistance.

Scores of cities, counties and states across the country are in line to get the 287(g) program training so they can aggressively go after illegal aliens in their jurisdictions. But few can get the training because Congress hasn't appropriated enough money for the training.

While we put a stop to sanctuary policies in cities with officials who don't respect the rule of law, the feds should be doing everything possible to help those jurisdictions who are ready to do all they can to help identify and detain the illegal aliens in their areas.

Please check your Action Buffet corkboard for any faxes that are available for you to send on various immigration issues. (We are not posting faxes on the sanctuary amendment because it is unlikely there will be enough time for staffers to tabulate them and report them to the Senators before the floor vote.)

On your corkboard, you should see a phone note about this wonderful opportunity for amendments on the CJS spending bill. Please click the response items to let us know you have made your calls.

LETS CALL CALL CALL PATRIOTS!!!! IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

This email was in my inbox this morning. I have made calls and emailed friends, relatives etc., to do the same. I wonder if AT & T will give you a new telephone when the numbers wear off.

Everybody get busy!

Oh brother, talk about late notice. I called my Senators and told them YES on Vitter and YES on funding Elizabeth Dole's bill for more funding for 287 (g). I cannot believe we have a program like the 287 (g), for local and state police to partner with ICE and there is no more money to fund it.

CALL, CALL AND THEN CALL. EMAIL TOO. SEND THIS ALERT OUT TO YOUR EMAIL CONTACTS QUICKLY.

TRY TO NOTIFY LAURA INGRAHAM TOO. SHE SHOULD BE ON RIGHT NOW.

I am adding that the immigration grades will be coming out and that my Senator is up for re-election. He better start voting with those who have elected him, namely the American taxpayer. We will be passing out those immigration grades to constituents.

Exactly what should we say to cover each bill that is short and to the point?

HTH

Senator Lamar Alexander staffer just returned my call. That is of course after I complained to other staffers that she does not return phone calls. She, Crystal, is another staffer that speaks down to you as if you are privileged to have them explain the Congressional World to you.

These Senators need to know that we are suffering from illegal alien invasion in our cities and that Washington is tone deaf. HELLLOOO, anyone listening? Living the good life, hob nobbing, and WE THE PEOPLE have illegal aliens right beside us and their numbers are growing.
