AMNESTY WATCH

SAT JUNE 1

TODAY: 24 million immigrants came 1890-1950 but Senate ready to vote on giving 33 million green cards in just the next ten years!

FRIENDS,

You've seen the pictures and read about the gigantic migrations of the world into the U.S. during the long Ellis Island era.

Can you even imagine what it will be like if the Senate passes S. 744 and gives green cards to that many and many more in just the next 10 years?

Later in this email, you will see more astounding comparisons of our immigration history with the radical immigration policy being pushed through the U.S. Senate.

Most Americans are asleep about this bill and have no idea how their entire way of life may be about to change forever.

Will you please share this email with others to educate them and warn them?
Will you let them know that they can join more than 2 million other Americans who are mounting opposition to S. 744? And that they can do it by going to www.NumbersUSA.com where they will find free tools to use to easily contact their Senators?
And will you please contact every talk show on radio and TV that you follow and ask them to read the information in this email and to talk about it on air? Look up their websites, post comments, send them emails, phone them. Most hosts have been so busy with the scandal s that they haven't yet focused on the magnitude of 33 million.

You can start doing these things this weekend.

Rumors are that Senate Majority Leader Reid may file this next week to put the bill on the floor on Monday, June 10. We have very little time left to generate the massive public outcry that is necessary to defeat this bill.

The Oversized Amnesty & Immigration Super-Surge Bill

Don't be fooled that this amnesty is like the one the public defeated in 2006 and the other one in 2007.

S. 744 is far worse and far larger, big enough to capsize our society as we have known it.

I am not over-stating the case.

Consider these per/decade immigration numbers that are our country's immigration tradition:

2 -- Do you think your Senators realize that, in the hundred years between our country's first Census in 1790 and 1890, the numerical level of that incredible flow of immigration from Europe that filled the Eastern Seaboard and spread out across the continent was 2 million per decade?

The world had never quite seen a movement like that of masses of people fleeing a crowded continent and completely taking over another. That human flood so covered the land that the U.S. Census Bureau in 1890 declared that there was no more true frontier left in a country that in 1790 had been almost nothing but frontier.

It took 2 million immigrants per decade to do that.

33 -- The Senate is expected in little more than a week to take up S. 744 which would offer lifetime work permits and residency to 33 million citizens of other counntries in the first decade alone -- about 11 million of them being current illegal aliens and another 22 million of them being new immigrants.

Has somebody discovered a new frontier to occupy?

And, yes, if you are able to quickly multiply by 10 decades you see that Senators Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Rubio (R-Fla.) want to cram far more immigrants into our country in the next 10 years than came during the entire century after 1790..

4-- Ellis Island operated primarily through the 1890-1950 period when 4 million immigrants came per decade. This is the immigration that so colors most Americans' sense of our im migration tradition. The frontier and free land were gone, but the number of foreigners arriving here doubled. Sailing into New York harbor past the newly installed Statue of Liberty by the millions, immigrants just kept piling on top of each other in cities across America whose infrastructures were overwhelmed and poverty soared.

Yes, multiply by six decades and you will note that far fewer immigrants arrived during the entire Ellis Island era than Senators Menendez (D-N.J.) and Flake (R-Ariz.) are insisting on adding in just a single decade.

2.5 -- around 2 .5 million immigrants arrived in the decade of 1950s. Labor markets were tight. Businesses innovated to produce more per worker. Wages rose rapidly. America became a true middle-class society. When Congress didn't meet demand for labor with more foreign workers, employers turned to the country's historic underemployed Black population, enabling the great successes of the Civil Rights movement in this and the next decade.

3.3 -- around 3.3 million immigrants arrived in the decade of the 1960s. In the middle of the decade, Congress changed immigration laws to give every country equal access to the system but promised that the numbers would not rise more than a half-million for a decade.

4.5 -- around 4.5 million immigrants arrived in the decade of the 1970s as chain migration categories produced increases far above the promises of those who pushed the 1965 law.

7.3 -- around 7.3 million immigrants were given green cards in the decade of the 1980s. In the middle of the decade, Congress passed an amnesty for some 3 million illegal aliens and promised enforcement to stop future illegal immigration. The enforcement never really happened, but employers got another big increase in the legal workforce.

10 -- In 1990, Congress approved a surge in green cards at the request of businesses who warned that they faced labor shortages in a couple more decades. But the 1990 law provided for a bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform to study the surge to see if it had any negative impacts on American workers as the opponents of the bill argued. In 1995, the commission concluded that the surge was depressing wages and harming the most vulnerable member of the national community and recommended cutting immigration to something like 5 million a decade. Under great pressure from business lobbyists, Congress in 1996 turned down the recommendations and has kept the 1990 Immigration Surge in place, on a pace of adding more than 10 million immigrants per decade (1990-2012).

33 -Shall I remind you that even in light of the constant increases in immigration from traditional numbers,Senators Durbin (D-IL) and Graham (R-S.C.) are iinsisting on a SUPER SURGE over the 1990 Immigration Surge?

They and their Gang of Eight pals Sen. Bennett (D-Colo.) and Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.) argue that the reason the 1986 amnesty didn't work is that Congress didn't increase legal immigration to handle the demand for extra labor.

Would you help me get the above numbers to these Senators?

Congress has done nothing but increase immigration every decade for a half-century. This is a truth that almost nobody in the news media will let the public know. In fact, many reporters simply quote the Gang of Eight and their supoorters as they say that we have a big illegal immigrant population because Congress in recent decades has been becoming increasingly restrictive on lawful immigration!

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! The immigration numbers shown above don't lie. And it is because le gal immigration has been growing so rapidly over the last half-century that the most popular answer for Americans on the standard question about immigration is that the numbers are "too high."

This S. 744 Oversized-Amnesty & Immigration Super-Surge bill would give out nearly half as many green cards in a single decade as every person who has permanently settled in this country over the previous FOUR CENTURIES -- since the founding of Jamestown in 1607.

If you have a Senator who is on the fence about whether to vote for this bill, make sure he/she understands THE MAGNITUDE.

Ask the Senators' staff if they know how many green cards are being offered by this bill. Are they really stopping to count the cost before deciding how to vote? They can't evaluate the costs without realizing what 33 million really looks like.

HERE IS WHAT ADDS UP TO 33 MILLION Because the Gang of Eight say they never took time to add up how many green cards would be handed out under S. 744, many people are skeptical that the 33 million can be right.

Check out the detailed analysis of 26 immigration categories at: https://www.numbersusa.com/content/files/10-Year_LPR_Numbers.pdf

The 33 million green cards offered by S. 744 in the first decade would go to:

around 11 million for illegal aliens (could be millions more if the official estimate is wrong)
around 11 million in continuation of elevated flows from 1990 surge policy
around 5 million from end of numerical limits on people waiting in line (mostly chain migration)
around 6 million from new and expanded categories

Here's the 30-second video raising deep moral questions about what kind of national community we are going to be.

Will we abandon 20 million of our fellow Americans who need a job by allowing lobbyists for wealthy special interests to persuade the Senate to pass the immigration bill?

1. I am not paying any amount much less this goof ball number ---> 6.3 Trillion for the First 11 Million "It isn't 11 Million Folks" 2. 12.6 Trillion for the 22 MILLION additional Immigrants "Assuming there is not Inflation or cost of living adjustment. 3. Somebody in the Senate better buy a good calculator to start running cost estimates or be prepared to put lipstick and a skirt on and get their butt out on a DC corner to cover these astronomical numbers. 18.9 Trillion is a lot of money in the first place in addition too the 17 Trillion in debt and 65 - 100 Trillion in Unfunded Liabilities. 4. U-6 Unemployment is at 23.2 % right at Great Depression Levels. 5. 47 Million on Food Stamps. We are already paying for 25 - 32 Million Anchor Babies (Schooling, Food, Housing, W.I.C., Hospital Stays, dental Care). 6. The American people cannot even afford Obamacare much less adding the poorest of the Poor and the average American picking up the bill for 33 Million Immigrants ... With These kind of Numbers a whole lot of people in DC need to be relieved of command and sent home to a pissed off populace ... again, if these Senators cant count then I am willing to chip in on a decent calculator; but I am NOT paying for this Party on my dime ~ please Note ... when I say I will chip in on a calculator; the Gang of 8 will have to share it then allow the other 92 Senators that need Economics 101 to partake of the calculator's abilities ~ Note Number 2 ~ Marco Rubio is going to have to throw out the out dated Chinese abacus or get a Fiscal Conservative to help him in his math skills
