Thread: Thank Congressman DeFazio and Defuse Illegal Lobby

Please help out your fellow countrymen and push back against the criminal illegal alien lobby.

Please call Congressman DeFazio's Offices and let him know you support his patriotism. All it takes is a simple voicemail message.

From Oregonians for Immigration Reform -

OFIR members and supporters:

We urge you to call Congressman Peter DeFazio on Friday and thank him for his stand against illegal immigration.

Eugene phone number: (541) 465-6732

Washington DC number (202) 225-6416

Numbers USA rates Congressman DeFazio and Congressman Greg Walden as the best in the Oregon Congressional delegation.

Below is a quote from Congressman DeFazio:

"One of the best ways - if not the best way - to stop illegal immigration is to ensure that those who enter the United States illegally cannot find work. Take away the jobs and you take away the incentive to enter America illegally. Thus, I have long supported a mandatory verification program that places a clear burden on employers to hire only American and other legal workers."

As you can see in the message below CAUSA and other pro-illegal alien groups are going to be protesting Friday in Eugene against Congressman DeFazio’s strong stand in protecting American workers. He needs our support!

CAUSA would like to invite you to join the students of Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan and others from around the state to
hold Congressman Peter DeFazio accountable to prioritize Safe, Humane
and Fair Immigration Reform this Friday in Eugene, OR.

LOCAL GROUPS SUPPORT EUGENE RALLY FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM

WHAT: Eugene Rally for Comprehensive Immigration Reform and immigrant Rights

WHEN: 2:30 pm, Friday, March 20th, 2009

WHERE: Peter DeFazio's Office -- 405 E. 8th Street, Eugene
Courthouse steps

WHO: Organized by the students of MEChA, both the University of
Oregon chapter and chapters from across the Nation, as well as CAUSA,
Oregon's immigrant rights coalition, with the help and support of
various UO Departments, PCUN, and Eugene community organizations. The expected turn-out is 500 minimum.

WHY: Immigrants (?) and Allies will gather at DeFazio's office to demand his support and prioritization of safe and fair immigration legislation. Because the majority of rally attendees will be
students, there is also a demand for DeFazio's support of the Federal
DREAM Act that would open the doors of higher education to immigrant
students and students of immigrant parents.

Members of MEChA, local human rights organizations and Eugene
residents and families of all walks of life are rallying to demand
that immigration reform is just and humane in that it:

1 - Provides a path to permanent resident status and citizenship for
all members of our communities

2 - Reunites Families and reduces immigration backlogs

3 - Provides opportunities for safe future migration and maintains
worker protections

4 - Includes provisions for full labor rights in all worker visa
programs (such as the right to organize and independent enforcement
rights), and a path to permanent residence and citizenship

5 - Respects the safety and security of all in immigration law
enforcement

6 - Recognizes immigrants' full humanity and eliminate barriers to
full participation - immigrants are more than just workers, they are
our neighbors, family members, students, members of society, tax
payers, and essential to the future of the U.S. They should have
opportunities to learn English, naturalize, lead prosperous lives,
engage in cultural expression, and receive equitable access to needed
services and higher education.

7 - Restores fundamental civil rights of immigrants

8 - Protects the rights of refugees and asylees

9 - Provides economic justice that doesn't pit immigrants against
native-born workers in a labor market under stress from general
economic insecurity (how the %^#@ does that work?)

10- Doesn't target immigrants to criminalize them

11 - Restores the number of refugees that enter the US to pre-9/11
levels *

I hope DeFazio has Policeman there and the Border Patrol checking ID's for uh safety reasons.

I've checked all over the web and local news, no mention of the turnout. I'm guessing it was two granolas, one professional protester, three eco-terrorists and seven illegals.

Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, you can find a protest of some sort in the haven of nutiness.

CAUSA and MEChA - Nice job organizing. Now go home and give and American back the job that is righfully his or hers.

I should start sending out fake protest press releases just to stir up the crimnal supporters like CAUSA! That would be kind of fun. They'd come out to counter-protest nothing. That's hilarious!

I did call Rep. DeFazio's Eugene office today to thank him, and his pleasant aide seemed very appreciative.
