5 myths about amnesty for illegal immigrants in Senate bill
news.yahoo.comPresident Obama and the Gang of Eight senators are repeating a number of talking points designed to elicit support for amnesty, or as they call it, "'earned legalization," for immigrants who have come to the United States illegally. The so-called "path to citizenship" is part of a bipartisan Senate…
 The Amnesty Next Time
[url]www.weeklystandard.comIn 1986, three million illegal immigrants in the United States were given the right to become citizens. It was a full-scale amnesty, created by a bipartisan majority in Congress and signed into law by President Reagan. It had one big flaw. The amnesty went into effect immediately. And strong measure...

AMNESTY WATCH
WED
MAY
22
TODAY: Senate committee approved amnesty bill (as expected) -- Now the real battle begins, and it depends on you
picture-21.jpg
"Ironically, the only promise the sponsors of this legislation have kept is their promise to block any attempts to improve the proposal. As a result, we are left with legislation that is fundamentally unchanged and fatally flawed. It will not become law..."-- Senate Judiciary Committee Member Jeff Sessions
​
SEND A FREE FAX with Sen. Sessions' message to your two Senators. He is right in his assessment of the bill, and he will BE right on his prediction of killing the bill if NumbersUSA members deal with actions such as those in this email.
Despite the raucous cheers of illegal-immigration activists in the Senate yesterday, THINGS ARE TURNING OUR WAY.
Yes, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a terrible amnesty/more-immigration bill yesterday by a 13-5 vote (which we always expected).
But this has been a week of very positive developments suggesting a shift in momentum in our direction.
And, now that the bill is out of Committee, the other 82 Senators who have been using "the bill is still being amended in Committee" as cover to avoid taking a position on the bill will have to decide if they will support or oppose it.
This is your moment to help them make the right choice. NumbersUSA Deputy Director Anne Manetas has helped prepare the following opportunities and information to help you do that.
Thursday Webcast to Prepare for Recess:
1 p.m. Thursday (Eastern time).
www.StopAmnesty.com
You can watch it at any time later, but from 1-2 p.m. (EDT) you can email questions and be part of an interactive conversation about what has happened and what you can do in your states.
Senators will begin returning to their home states today for the Memorial Day recess. Most won't be back in their DC offices again until Monday, June 3rd.
This recess provides a critical opportunity for you to get in touch with your Senators and let them know what you think of S. 744. It is an amnesty-first-and-enforcement-maybe-later bill that also triples total immigration.
Melanie Oubre and Van Esser of our Local Activism Team will be contacting you with specific opportunities over the next week but you can get a full briefing on what's going on during recess by watching the LIVE WEBCAST.
You can submit your questions today and tomorrow morning at:webcast@numbersusa.com
Van and Melanie will answer your questions on air tomorrow.
New Faxes
Joe Jenkins has just finished posting a new round of faxes. Please make sure your Senators continue to hear from you during recess by sending the following fax:

SIGNS OF PROGRESS AND HOPE

Anne was concerned that many of you might be just a little discouraged by seeing news last night that the Gang of Eight Amnesty had so easily passed the committee.
So, she has provided the following items from this week as signs of important building blocks for defeating the S. 744 amnesty-immigration increase legislation when it comes to a vote on the Senate floor in mid-June.
Conservative Leaders Come Out Against S. 744:
While NumbersUSA is non-ideological, we know that conservative opposition to the Gang of 8 amnesty is essential to killing the bill. The media have tried to make it seem like the majority of conservative forces are in line with pro-enforcement leaders like Grover Norquist and all kinds of corporate lobbies and their billionaire owners.
So we were delighted yesterday to see a coalition of over 150 conservative leaders sign an open letter opposing S. 744. You can read more about the effort on their website: http://www.stopgangof8.com/
Thousands of anti-amnesty petitions delivered in locally-run rallies across the nation:
Yesterday, activists all over the country rallied against S. 744 in "Remember 1986" events, urging their Senators to remember the mistakes of the 1986 IRCA amnesty which provided amnesty but only broken promises of enforcement.
You can read Melanie's wrap-up of yesterday's events in her blog at:https://www.numbersusa.com/content/nusablog/moubre/may-22-2013/americans-remember-1986-coa st-coast.html
This is really exciting reading (and pictures) about so many of your fellow citizens getting out in public and drawing a lot more attention to the disaster that this bill promises.
Judiciary Committee Reports Un-improved Bill Out of Committee:
While we were repeatedly disappointed in the lack of compassion for American workers and taxpayers shown by the majority of the Judiciary Committee during its two-week markup process, the result was good news.
That is, the fact that the Judiciary Committee reported a bill out that is as bad or worse than it was when it was introduced should make it easier to kill on the Senate floor.
At this point, the legislation would so dramatically increase immigration numbers and rewrite immigration policy that it would be impossible to amend it to an acceptable point.
Hatch-Schumer H-1B Compromise Angers Union Leaders:
While the compromise increasing H-1B visas and loosening protections for American workers worked out by Senators Hatch and Schumer led to Sen. Hatch voting to pass the Gang bill out of the Judiciary Committee yesterday, it caused a rift in the delicate Big-Business/Big Union coalition that had been so widely touted as a key to the success of the Gang of 8 bill.
After the deal was announced, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka called the changes "unambiguous attacks on American workers."
Of course the entire bill is an attack on unemployed American workers, but it will be interesting to see if Union leaders use this opportunity to stand up for American workers or if they continue to seek ways in which to allow federal immigration policies to drive down wages.
Immigration Reform Caucus Founder Launches Ad Campaign:
Former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who founded the Immigration Reform Caucus while in Congress, has launched a series of radio ads opposing the Gang of 8 bill in various markets nationwide.
Congressman Tancredo's message is airing on the same shows that are airing Sen. Marco Rubio's ad defending the bill. Tancredo's ads provide a helpful truth-squad function to the false claims made in the Rubio ads that are funded by the coalition of Mark Zuckerburg (Facebook founder) in an effort to promote the Gang's bill.
CLOCK IS TICKING

S. 744 could come to the Senate floor for a vote in the second or third week in June.
So, the clock is ticking. Now is the time when Senators are forming their positions on this legislation so it is absolutely critical that they hear from their constituents who oppose it.
Your activism over the next two weeks is essential to leverage the developments of this week in order to pull more Senators away from a YES vote on the Senate floor.
Please continue to look for and respond to our Action Requests. And let us know if there is something we can do to help. We can't do this without you. Your country is depending on you right now.

Amendment after amendment voted down.
It was clear from the start that the Gang of Eight's bill was heavy on amnesty, light on enforcement. When given the chance to improve their bill, the Gang proved that they are all talk and no action.
Just take a look at some of the amendments voted down in committee:

  • Require the Southern border be under "effective control" for at least 6 months before amnesty applications can be processed. VOTED DOWN.
  • Require illegal aliens pay all back taxes, penalties, and fines before being handed legal status (amnesty). VOTED DOWN.
  • Require all businesses use a system (like E-Verify) to ensure that all new hires are legally able to work in the U.S. within 18 months. VOTED DOWN.
  • Affirm that state and local law enforcement can assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law (like Arizona). VOTED DOWN.
Time after time FAIR's allies in the Senate offered amendments to strengthen border security, enhance enforcement efforts and improve the bill. Time after time these efforts were VOTED DOWN.
FAIR has been working on Capitol Hill to minimize the damage this bill would cause if passed. After these amendments were flat out rejected, it's clear that we cannot allow this bill to become law. FAIR needs to run ads nationally to oppose this bill. The cause is urgent.
Will you help us put a stop to this bill that would legalize millions of illegal aliens before a finger is lifted to prevent more from coming? Will you stand with FAIR to protect the integrity of our immigration system by making a generous tax-deductible donation to FAIR right now? Your financial support will help us continue this critical fight to prevent a devastating amnesty -- far worse than any in American history.
Sincerely,
23576.jpg

Dan Stein, President
Did you know that an amendment that would have made it more difficult for criminal street gang members to gain amnesty was VOTED DOWN? Donate to FAIR today to voice your support for stronger enforcement and no amnesty!

[h=1]Israel Builds Sinai Border Fence; Illegal Crossings Drop 99.9%[/h]

[h=2]This week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has touted the success of a new border fence that Israel built along its boundary with Egypt to stop illegal infiltrators. In a statement posted at his government website, Netanyahu reported that illegal crossings had declined 99.9%, from 2,000 per month to only two.[/h]"The fence that we built in the south is achieving the result for which it was erected," Netanyahu said. "As opposed to the over 2,000 infiltrators who entered Israel exactly one year ago and dispersed to various cities, in May 2013 exactly two infiltrators crossed the border and were detained. Now we need to focus on repatriating the illegal infiltrators who are here, and we will meet this task as well."
The main, 144-mile section of the fence was completed in early 2013, according to a January report by the Wall Street Journal. It is sixteen feet high and includes "barbed wire, surveillance cameras and radar." By comparison, the U.S.-Mexico border is roughly 2,000 miles long, and only about a third is fenced off. The Israeli fence's construction was accelerated due to security concerns in the years since Egyptian autocrat Hosni Mubarak left power, leaving a vacuum eventually filled by a Muslim Brotherhood government.
The new Israeli fence is separate from the fence that runs along, and partially inside, the West Bank, which has successfully stopped infiltrations by suicide bombers. It also placed a small amount of disputed territory on the western, "Israeli" side of the fence while creating some hardship for local land owners and workers.
