NumbersUSA Exposes Traps of New Amnesty Bills In Congressional Hearing Today

We Prove That The New 'Comprehensive
Reforms' Are Near Carbon Copies
of Disastrous 1986 Amnesty

Have you ever awakened from one of those "I'm back at school nightmares?" You know the kind—you dream that you're back at school and about to fail your final exam. You wake up in panic.

Well, that's akin to the nightmare our Rosemary Jenks experienced while preparing for her congressional testimony today. She read every word of the current "legalization" proposals AND the infamous 1986 Illegal Alien Amnesty.

What a horrifying case of dejá vu!

Today at 3:00 p.m., Rosemary testifies before the U.S. House immigration panel to warn that the current proposals for “comprehensive immigration reform” are almost a literal repeat of the 1986 Act!

This is a nightmare, because virtually everybody acknowledges the 1986 Act was a disastrous amnesty that led to millions more illegal aliens coming to our country.

Once again, NumbersUSA leads the battle to stop an amnesty for illegal immigration.

After the first-ever amnesty passed in 1986, Congress approved six more amnesties during the 1990s.

But since NumbersUSA opened its offices on Capitol Hill in 2001, not a single amnesty has been signed into law!

We can play this role only because citizens like you through the years have responded each month to our appeal for contributions.

Our congressional lobbying and our internet faxing system (the largest in the country) are 100% dependent on the monthly contributions of individual citizens like you.

When we hired Rosemary Jenks, our Harvard-trained lawyer, to set up a top-flight Hill operation in 2001, we had fewer than 3,000 activist faxer members. This week we will add our 300,000th faxer-member! Can you believe that we have added more than 55,000 just since Jan. 1 of this year?

It is your numbers and activism that give Rosemary and her Team such power and influence on the Hill.

And talent (of Rosemary and her Team) also plays a big role. Most people on Capitol Hill regard Rosemary as the most knowledgeable expert on immigration legislation in Washington.

If you have donated in the past, I hope you feel pride as her employer.

EXPOSING THE BIG LIE

Rosemary’s testimony today is an example of why it is so important for regular citizens around the country to be represented on the Hill by top-notch professionals. Rosemary is exposing a gargantuan lie that the news media have been allowing the open-borders people to perpetuate over the last year.

Nearly all the open-borders Members of Congress admit that the 1986 Act was an Amnesty and that it FAILED to slow down illegal immigration.

Their lie this past year has been that their new "comprehensive reform" proposals will succeed because they include "new" provisions.

They argue that the proposed amnesties will stop future illegal immigration because THIS TIME the amnesties will:

1) provide more enforcement; 2) increase the number of green cards for permanent legal workers so foreign workers won't feel the need to come here illegally; 3) create a new guest worker program; 4) require workplace verification; 5) grant legal status to illegal aliens only if they pay a fine, pass a security clearance, stand in line awhile, and show that they are learning English.

But today, Rosemary is telling Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) that EVERY ONE OF THOSE ITEMS was also in the 1986 Amnesty Law!

It looks like Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), who devised the 1986 amnesty, thought he could pull a fast one on all of us by simply putting a new dress on the same outline and passing it off as a totally different kind of “reform” bill that would actually work this time.

All of current amnesty bills are variations on what Kennedy’s staff has been developing over recent years. (By going to the NumbersUSA home page at www.NumbersUSA.com, you can find links for Rosemary’s testimony, for descriptions of past amnesties and analysis of the various current amnesty proposals.)

Please support Rosemary and her talented Capitol Hill Team. Help us defeat this phony "comprehensive reform," which turns out to be just a big lie.
