  1. Does the OP work for Numbers USA or something???

    I just pass along some of the emails I get.

    Public education is about everyone getting a chance

    I agree ALMOST... it's about people WHO PAY TAXES and THEIR CHILDREN getting a chance. I will never be for a system that benefits those that don't share in the burden and contribute to the system.

  2. Sen. ####### Durbin (D-IL) has introduced S. 774 The DREAM ACt of 2007, that grants in-state tuition and amnesty to illegal aliens under the age of 21 who have been physically present in the country for five years and are in college, have a high school diploma or a GED. Such a reward for illegal immigration serves as an incentive for more illegal immigration.

    Ask your Senator to Oppose the DREAM Act amnesty.

  3. The US could probably manage to extract a fair number of illegal aliens if its citizens were prepared to dig deeply into their pockets to pay to identify and deport them. However, even if one were to do that, it wouldn't stop people continuing to try to get to the US and I am not sure how much anyone is prepared to pay to 'ensure' the US isn't 'pollluted' by illegal aliens. I suspect the US administration has a fair idea though.

    The government doesn't have to pay to identify and deport them. All the government has to do is identify the companies employing them and start putting the owners in prison or slapping them with some hefty fines.

  4. Economically, amnesty is the cheapest way to go. Of course, if you want to have your taxes increased to get them all kicked out...

    That's #######. The cheapest way is to cut off their income so they either starve to death or go back home. I will never support ANY plan that rewards those that came here illegally.

  5. It appears tonight that the GOP leadership in both the Senate and the House may be giving the White House assurance that they will back the new Bush amnesty plan.

    The only thing that stopped Pres. Bush, Sen. McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Kennedy (D-MA) from passing the amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens last year was that the GOP leadership in the House opposed it.

    Deep sources in Congress told us earlier in the evening that the White House is bragging to many Members of Congress that the GOP House leadership has now agreed to the new Bush plan!

    This is much worse than the information I gave you early Friday morning. (Thanks for the more than 150,000 faxes you have sent in the three days since then!!!!)

    ACTION NOW -- You must phone Republicans -- especially GOP leaders -- all day today if we are to have any chance to avoid this disaster. See all the instructions below. Please do not procrastinate.

    WHAT IS THE NEW BUSH PLAN?

    Our sources say that was the new Bush plan that Sen. Isakson (R-GA) was outlining on Fox & Friends on Friday. Without identifying it with the White House, Isakson said this is what is needed:

    * Lots of enforcement that may have to go into effect before any amnesty is offered. (But one Senator told us that he has been given no details to suggest that the amnesty would actually have to wait for enforcement to be implemented.)

    * The 12 million illegal aliens would get at least a temporary amnesty to allow them to remain and work in the U.S., for many years.

    * If the illegal aliens want to become citizens, they have to step out of the U.S. before coming back in to claim it. Does that mean they can't come back in until they qualify under existing greencard quotas and criteria? Maybe. But one Congressman told us that he feels certain that the Bush plan will have gigantic increases in annual green cards to accommodate all the illegals -- and perhaps millions more foreign workers each decade.

    How is this any different from Kennedy and McCain's amnesty?

    Bush's probably has some real teeth in its enforcement provisions. But the net result would still be 12 million illegal aliens rewarded with the legal right to live and work in the U.S. and millions more illegal aliens enticed to come over the next decade.

    The fact that Isaakson appears to have signed off on the amnesty or is at least doing publicity for it is a terrible sign. Up until this moment, all of his immigration actions have earned him an "A" Immigration-Reduction Grade.

    Isaakson was a leader in some of the really tough amendments to try to stop and gut the Senate's amnesty bill last year.

    What is he doing joining the White House's push for millions upon millions of more permanent foreign workers? We are told that Sen. Kyl (R-AZ) and Sen. Cornyn (R-TX) are in the thick of this bill. Last year, they came up with a semi-awful Temporary Amnesty that was supposed to require illegal aliens to go home after a few years of legal work. But they have steadfastly and publicly proclaimed themselves opposed to a permanent amnesty.

    Have they given up any semblance of interest in protecting American workers and communities from the negative effects of the 12 million illegal aliens already there?

    I hope that your calls will get denials from these leaders. I hope you will be able to back them off any thoughts of compromising with our nation's future.
