</TD><TD>WHAT IF 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS VACATED AMERICA?
Category: News and Politics

WHAT IF 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS VACATED AMERICA?


That's a good question it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!

In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids would move back "home," mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.

Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.

Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law and English.

In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned "home," the U.S. economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.

No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must content with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the "18th Street Gang" would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to their home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the "progressives" on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.

Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, colonias or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America's new Third World inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.

We invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.

It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.

Current mood:

14 Reasons to Deport Illegal Aliens...
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://...com/zob77
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens . http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html
9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the United States . http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report : http://...com/t9sht
12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.' http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin . http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States ' . http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml
So using the LOWEST estimates, the annual cost OF ILLEGAL ALIENS is $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! So if deporting them costs between $206 and $230 BILLION DOLLARS, H_ _ _ get rid of em', We'll be ahead after the 1st year!!!
Please pass this on. Americans need to wake up

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=faxpreviewsection>Immigration numbers are far too high.

Largely because of immigration, America added another 100 million people to our communities since 1970, to the current 300 million mark.

The Census Bureau predicts total U.S. population to soar beyond 400 million by mid-century, almost all because of immigration.

And by the end of this century, immigration will drive us well past a half-BILLION.

Why would Congress do that to us? Many Americans already live far too congested lives. Our nation's infrastructure of roads, bridges, hospitals and schools already are straining under the pressure of all this population growth. And the taxpayers are straining, too.

Please bring this problem under control.

By Nigel Duara and William Petroski, The Des Moines Register
POSTVILLE, Iowa — A raid by federal immigration officials at the nation's largest kosher meatpacking plant may have resulted in as many as 700 arrests, immigration officials said Monday
Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement entered the Agriprocessors Inc. complex in northeast Iowa Monday morning to execute a criminal search warrant for evidence relating to aggravated identity theft, fraudulent use of Social Security numbers and other crimes, said Tim Counts, a Midwest ICE spokesman.

Agents are also executing a civil search warrant for people illegally in the United States, he said.

Immigration officials told aides to Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, that they expect 600 to 700 arrests. About 1,000 to 1,050 people work at the plant, according to Iowa Workforce Development, the state's employment services agency.

Chuck Larson, a truck driver for Agriprocessing, was in the plant when the agents arrived. "There has to be 100 of them," he said of the agents.

FIND MORE STORIES IN: United States | New York | Mexico | Russian | Social Security | Ukraine | Hispanic | Customs Enforcement | Norwegian | Lutheran | Swift | Marshalltown | Larson | Crown Heights | Hasidic Jews | Tim Counts | Postville | Agriprocessors Inc | Rep. Bruce Braley | Sholom
Larson said the agents told workers to stay in place then separated them by asking those with identification to stand to the right and those with other papers, to stand to the left.

"There was plenty of hollering," Larson said. "You couldn't go anywhere."

When asked who was separated, Larson said those standing in the group with other papers were all Hispanic.

PHOENIX: 53 illegal immigrants held against will
ICE spokesman Harold Ort in Postville did not confirm or deny that anyone had been detained, but went on to say that the children of those detained would be cared for and that "their caregiver situation will be addressed."

"They were asked multiple times if they have any sole-caregiver issues or any childcare issues," Ort said.

Aides to Braley said they have been told that "hundreds" of arrests are expected because the action is more of an "investigation" than an immigration raid, and specific individuals are being targeted for arrest as part of the investigation.

Counts described the events in Postville as a "single site operation." He said he was not aware of any other immigration raids being conducted elsewhere Monday.

Postville Police Chief Michael Halse said he did not know anything about the raid until Monday morning.

Postville is a community of more than 2,500 people that includes natives of German and Norwegian heritage and newcomers who include Hasidic Jews from New York, plus immigrants from Mexico, Russian, Ukraine and many other countries.

The Agriprocessors plant, known as the nation's largest kosher slaughterhouse, is northeast Iowa's largest employer.

About 200 Hasidic Jews arrived in Postville in 1987, when butcher Aaron Rubashkin of Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood reopened a defunct meat-packing plant with his two sons, Sholom and Heshy, just outside the city limits. Business boomed at the plant, reviving the depressed economy while pitting the newcomers against the predominantly Lutheran community.

Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack said that the Postville immigration investigations were warranted despite concerns that federal official violated the constitutional rights of people in past raids.

"Remember our concern has not been about whether or not there should be raids," Vilsack said. "It's the way the raids have been conducted and the way in which American citizens' rights have been violated by virtue of sort of a roundup process that's used and what we think are inappropriate and unconstitutional actions on the part of immigration officials."

Vilsack and others have alleged that immigration officials used humiliation, opposite-sex searches and long periods of secrecy in the Dec. 12, 2006, raids at Swift & Co. in Marshalltown, Iowa, where 90 people were arrested on immigration charges.

There is no reason to grant illegal farm workers amnesty! There is an H-2A program for temporary seasonal workers that honest farmers use to get extra help. There are no rotting crops and America will not starve if illegal workers are sent home -- renegade farmers will just be forced to pay Americans an honest wage to do the work. America also does not need anymore H-2B visas -- we have plenty unemployed tech workers!

Also, it is dishonest and unfair to attach this illegal alien amnesty to the Iraq supplemental funding bill.

Please ensure that this amnesty is stripped from the Iraq supplemental bill!

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 553px; HEIGHT: 850px" cellSpacing=4 cellPadding=4 align=center><TBODY><TR><TD>Amnesty Amendment Added to Iraqi War Funding Bill!
Call Your Senators Now!!


Late Thursday afternoon, the Senate Appropriations Committee attached several immigration amendments - including an amnesty amendment - to the Iraq War Funding Bill. By doing so, members of the Senate Finance Committee not only snuck controversial amendments into a bill that funds our servicemen and women, but they chose to attach guest worker amnesty provisions that the American people flatly rejected in 2007! These amendments are designed to allow corporations to import hundreds of thousands of additional guest workers at a time when the U.S. economy is struggling.
The Iraq War Funding Bill could be on the Senate floor as early as NEXT WEEK as Senators try to finish business before the Memorial Day recess. FAIR is asking all members, activists, and friends to call their Senators NOW and tell them you oppose these measures!
Two of the amendments adopted in the Senate Appropriations Committee were provisions rejected in last year's Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill (S.1639). These include:
(1) The Feinstein AgJOBS Amendment. This amendment, authored by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), grants 5-year amnesty visas to 1.35 million illegal alien agricultural workers plus their families by granting them "emergency worker status." The amendment also:
  • Grants work authorization to beneficiaries and their spouses;
  • Grants travel authorization to beneficiaries and their families;
  • Otherwise treats beneficiaries as green card holders (legal permanent residents); and
  • Prohibits beneficiaries from being prosecuted for social security fraud and related identity theft crimes.
To qualify for the amnesty program, an illegal alien must show he or she was employed at least 150 days or earned at least $7,000.00 in the agricultural sector in the 48 months ending December 31, 2007. The alien will then pay a fee of $250.00 and receive an identification card evidencing his or her legal status.
(2) The Mikulski H-2B Amendment. This amendment, authored by Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), will increase the number of unskilled H-2B guest workers by reinstating the returning worker exemption for a period of three years. This exemption (which expired last year) allows guest workers who entered the U.S. through the H-2B guest worker program in the previous three years to return without counting towards the 66,000 cap. This exemption could lead to exponential growth in the H-2B program, potentially increasing the number of unskilled H-2B guest workers by over 200,000 in just a few years.
But the Senate Appropriations Committee didn't stop there! It adopted two other immigration amendments intended to appease special interests and corporations. The Murray-Gregg Amendment, authored by Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Judd Gregg (R-NH), increases the number of employment-based green cards available for multinational executives and so-called "high-tech" workers by "recapturing" approximately 218,000 unused visas from as far back as 1994. The Leahy Amendment, authored by Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), extends the duration of a program that helps rich investors obtain green cards.
Please call your Senators NOW and tell them you are appalled that these are the priorities of the United States Senate! Tell your Senators that the only immigration legislation you want taken up in Congress is true immigration reform legislation that restores common sense to our system, secures our borders, and imposes tough sanctions on employers who exploit cheap foreign labor.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=faxpreviewsection></TD></TR><TR><TD class=faxpreviewsection>It is truly horrendous that the Senate would vote to add an agricultural workers amnesty to the Iraq supplemental bill. Our brave men and women in Iraq need your support, but it seems that some Senators would rather support illegal workers who have no legal right to be in this country. How shameful!

There is absolutely no need for any sort of amnesty, and particularly not one for agricultural workers. Farmers, orchardists, and other agribusiness-owners can take advantage of the H-2A program to attain seasonal help. The Senate Appropriations Committee's vote only helps the renegade businessmen who would rather hire illegal workers at the expense of Americans just to make a quick profit.

This vote in favor of amnesty is a vote against our brave men and women fighting in Iraq.

Did you also know that this amnesty bill also contains provisions to allow even more H-2B workers? We have more than enough foreign workers already, especially when one considers the number of unemployed American workers!

Please do your patriotic duty and either have the amnesty and foreign-worker provisions stripped from the Iraq supplemental funding bill or vote the entire bill down. Our brave servicemen and women risking their lives for our freedom deserve better than to be used in this manner.

Senate Committee Passes Amnesty for Illegal Ag Workers

(May 16) At yesterday's markup of the Iraq supplemental appropriations bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee committed an outrageous act of disrespect for our men and women in uniform and to the citizens of this country by adopting an amendment by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that gives amnesty to illegal-alien agricultural workers. The amendment indicates a maximum of 1.35 million illegal alien ag workers could obtain "emergency agricultural worker status" for a five-year period. Since their families also can obtain this status, it is estimated that the total number receiving an amnesty would reach 3 million. The committee also adopted other immigration-related amendments, including one that drastically expands the H-2B visa program for non-agricultural seasonal workers.


A vote by the full Senate may occur early next week, so please contact your Senators now to urge them to work to strip the amnesty from the Iraq spending bill on the floor, as well as the other amendments increasing immigration levels.

Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121The most important point to stress is that there is no need for an amnesty to provide growers with workers. There already is an H-2A foreign ag worker program that provides growers with an unlimited number of temporary workers if the growers agree to pay a decent wage and ensure that they go home at the end of the season. Feinstein is just trying to protect the abysmally low wages and bad working conditions that farmworkers labor under.

Speaker Pelosi Strong-Arms Democrats to Disarm SAVE Act Threat<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:p></O:p>



House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is using strong-arm tactics against anti-illegal-immigration Democrats in an effort to kill the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) for the year. North Carolina Democrat Heath Shuler's SAVE Act is an incredible threat to the unscrupulous businesses of America who insist on illegal labor to hold down their labor costs. Most business owners are not like that, but the outlaw businesses have the ear of Speaker Pelosi.



Pelosi and her team are intimidating Democrats to make sure they do not sign the Discharge Petition that would bring the SAVE Act to the floor for a vote. They know it would easily pass if there is a vote.


Even though 49 House Democrats have co-sponsored the SAVE Act, only 10 have signed the Discharge Petition. The other 39 Democrats have heard the message loud and clear that if they sign the petition and it gets the necessary 218 signatures to force a vote, those Democrats should not count on any favors or help for their congressional Districts from the House leaders.Click here to view the listof Representatives blocking the SAVE Act by NOT signing the Discharge Petition, and call if your Representative has sided with Speaker Pelosi and outlaw businesses.<O:p></O:p>

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=550 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>Policy and Legislation : Legislative Update — May 12, 2008



In this Update:

House Committee Voices Concerns over Mandatory E-Verify

On Tuesday, the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security held a hearing to examine E-Verify and its proposed legislative alternatives. During the hearing, several members of the Subcommittee expressed concerns about the cost to make E-Verify mandatory and its burdens on the Social Security system. With respect to the latter, Chairman Michael McNulty (D-NY) questioned whether mandating use of E-Verify would divert resources away from Social Security's primary mission. In his opening statement, Chairman McNulty informed the committee of the backlog in Social Security disability claims. He noted that claimants in Atlanta, which has the worst backlog in the country, wait an average of 849 days to have their claim processed. Moreover, he made it clear that he would oppose any program adding to the backlog. (See Chairman McNulty's press release, April 28, 2008)
Among the witnesses present were Representatives Heath Schuler (D-NC) and Ken Calvert (R-CA), both of whom testified in support of E-Verify. In 1996, Rep. Calvert authored the portion of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (P.L. 104-32) establishing E-Verify as a pilot program (originally called Basic Pilot). Since its inception, employer use of E-Verify has grown steadily, but federal law provides that the program will sunset November 30, 2008. In the hearing, Rep.Calvert explained that to prevent the program from expiring, he has introduced a bill, H.R.19, that would make E-Verify permanent and phase in its mandatory use over seven years. Rep. Schuler told the committee that he supports making E-Verify permanent and mandatory for all employers. He explained that the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088), which he authored, would do just that. (To see an analysis of the SAVE Act, click here) When pressed about the cost of E-Verify by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Rep. Schuler responded, "Well, the most important thing is what is the value of security in America?"
Rep. Dennis Moore (D-KS) and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) testified in support of H.R. 5515, the New Employee Verification Act (NEEVA), introduced by the Subcommittee's ranking member Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX). H.R. 5515 is an employment eligibility verification bill endorsed by a number of business interests including the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and conglomeration of business interests called the H.R. Initiative for a Legal Workforce. (Reuters, Human Resource Experts Testify in Opposition to Mandated Use of 'E-Verify' in Kansas, March 4, 2008.) This bill requires electronic verification of employment eligibility, but allows employers to use one of two systems: The first system would be based on the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) database. NDNH is already in use in the states to assist child support agencies in locating parents and enforcing child support orders. The second eligibility verification system allows employers use a government certified private sector companies to certify employment authorization. Both systems would interface with Social Security and Department of Homeland Security databases to verify the accuracy of the data.
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords testified in support of H.R. 5515 and noted that it would preempt all recently enacted state laws, such as Arizona's, that sanction employers who hire illegal aliens. She argued that preemption of state laws is vital to create a uniform system across the country and relieve employers from increased liability imposed by the states. Rep. Giffords testified, "…the E-Verify system coupled with draconian sanctions under Arizona law have businesses praying for relief from the federal government." (Statement of the Hon. Gabrielle Giffords, Testimony before the Subcommittee on Social Security of the House Committee on Ways and Means, May 6, 2008)
Richard M. Stana, the Government Accountability Office's Director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues, testified that the Social Security Administration (SSA) estimates the implementation of a mandatory E-Verify would require the addition of 700 new employees and cost $281 million for fiscal years 2009- 2013. Moreover, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) estimates that a mandatory E-Verify would cost $765 million for fiscal years 2009-2012 if only newly hired employees are queried and $838 million over the same period if newly hired and current employees are queried. Currently, 61,000 employers have registered for E-Verify with about half that number being active users. A mandatory system would need to accommodate an estimated 7.4 million employers. (Statement of Richard M. Stana, Testimony before the Subcommittee on Social Security of the House Committee on Ways and Means, May 6, 2008)
After the hearing, Rep. Calvert told the Orange County Register that while it is unlikely that Congress will pass any major immigration legislation this year, he thinks it is likely that Congress will pass a temporary extension of E-Verify. (Employment Verification Days are Numbered, Orange County Register, May 7, 2008)

One House Committee Hears Testimony on Displaced American Workers; Another Grants 1,000 New Visas for Fashion Models

On Tuesday, the House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing entitled "Do Federal Programs Ensure that U.S. Workers Are Recruited First Before Employers Hire From Abroad?" The Chairman of the Committee, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) opened the hearing with a bit of skepticism wondering why, when unemployment rates are rising, many businesses claim they cannot find U.S. workers. (Opening statement of the Hon. George Miller, Chairman House Education and Labor Committee, May 6, 2008)
The panel heard testimony from the Department of Labor (DOL) about the need for worker visas and its efforts to improve the program in the absence of Congressional reform. While not including specifics, the Department's Assistant Secretary for Policy announced that the DOL is promulgating new rules for the H-2A program for temporary agricultural workers and will do the same for the H-2B program for temporary workers in the coming months. (Statement of Leon R. Sequeira Assistant Secretary for Policy, U.S. Department of Labor, May 6, 2008)
Perhaps the most informative testimony came from Dr. Andrew Sum, Director of the Center for Labor Market Studies, Northeastern University. In his testimony, Dr. Sum linked the decline of employment for younger and older workers to an increase in immigration levels. He said, "A variety of demand, supply, and institutional forces have been at work in reducing young employment opportunities. Unprecedented levels of legal, illegal and temporary immigration have been one of the factors underlying this deterioration in youth labor markets. Declines in youth employment have been matched almost one for one with increased employment of new arrivals over the past 7 years." (Statement of Dr. Andrew Sum before the House Education and Labor Committee, May 6, 2008.)
Two days after this hearing, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law approved H.R. 4080, a bill sponsored by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) to create a new category of temporary worker visas for fashion models. The bill would allow up to 1,000 fashion models to enter the country temporarily. This new classification takes fashion models out of the H-1B visa category and creates a new P-4 non-immigrant worker visa category. These visas would allow a fashion model to work in the United States for up to five years.
Ranking member, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) opposed the bill and attempted to offer an amendment to offset the increase in new visas by reducing the number of visas for unskilled guest workers (H-2B) by 1,000, but Chair Zoë Lofgren (D-CA) ruled that the amendment was not germane to the bill. Rep. King found it incredible that in all of the United States, modeling agencies could not find enough attractive Americans to fill these positions.

House Passes Small Expansion of State Criminal Alien Assistance Program

Thursday the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1512, a bill introduced by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) to increase the scope of the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP). Under SCAAP, states and localities can apply for and receive federal payments when they incur certain costs for incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens. Under present law, states may apply for the payments when they incarcerate aliens with at least one felony or two misdemeanor convictions. The House bill would expand the language of SCAAP to include aliens charged with a felony or two misdemeanors as well as those convicted. A companion bill, S. 2587 has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA).
While the legislation expands the scope of SCAAP, it did not authorize any new funds for the expanded program. Currently, SCAAP is authorized at $950 million for fiscal years 2008 - 2011. Therefore, states and localities will still have the same amount of funds available for expanded program. The Congressional budget Office (CBO) reports that under this expanded program, applications for reimbursement will probably increase, but the formula Department of Justice (DOJ) uses to reimburse the states will not change. DOJ's current policy is to approve reimbursements to states for the costs of persons who have been incarcerated for at least four consecutive days. The CBO expects that few individuals who have not been convicted of crimes would be held for this long. (CBO Cost Estimate for H.R. 1512, December 7, 2007)

Illegal Irish Aliens Working for Special Amnesty
On May 5th, the New York Sun reported that the Irish immigration lobby is working toward a separate agreement with the U.S. government to grant illegal Irish aliens legal status. According to the article, since the collapse of comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate, the Irish lobby has been working closely with lawmakers to forge a separate deal. Bertie Ahern, the outgoing Irish prime minister, told reporters that he was working closely with Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA) to accomplish his goal. This strategy has some Hispanic aliens wondering about an apparent racial bias. (The New York Sun, Immigrants Riled by Irish Push for Special Status, May 5, 2008)
All of this follows an address to a joint session of Congress delivered by the Prime Minister Ahern on April 30th. He told the assembly, "We ask you to consider the case of our undocumented Irish immigrant community in the United States today. We hope you will be able to find a solution to their plight that would enable them to regularize their status and open to them a path to permanent residency," (The Irish Echo Online, Back on track, Ahern Raises Plight of Undocumented before Congress, May 7, 2008 )
One special interest organization in particular has been working hard to affect an amnesty program for illegal aliens from Ireland. The group, the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform (ILIR), was created in December 2005 for the purpose of "fighting for the voice of the estimated 50,000 undocumented Irish in the immigration debate." (See http://www.irishlobbyusa.org)
In an op-ed piece in the Irish Echo Online, ILIR Executive Director Kelly Fincham argued that the organization seeks "legality," not amnesty for Irish illegal aliens. She stated that the need for legalization becomes more pressing as the Irish economy declines. "Unemployment in the Republic is higher than it has been in a decade, while the first quarter's increase in unemployment was the worst since 1975. Thousands of construction jobs are also at risk in the North because of the downturn in building activity. This is all the more reason to seek a legal pathway for Irish immigration." She explained that when comprehensive immigration reform failed, the ILIR started working toward a new visa program based upon the Australian E-3 program. (The Irish Echo Online, ILIR seeks legality, not amnesty, for undocumented Irish, April 23, 2008) The E-3 Visa is available to Australian nationals and their families to travel to the U.S. solely to work in specialty occupations.

Tuesday Game Plan: Keep the Faxes and Phone Calls Going


Dear opponents of amnesty and other rewards for illegal immigration,

You are making a difference. We broke a record for number of faxes ordered yesterday and our sources inside Capitol Hill are reporting an increased awareness of opposition to the AgJOBS amnesty among Congressional offices.

186,568 faxes were ordered yesterday!

23,185 faxes were ordered in one four-hour period!

We have not turned the corner, but if we can keep that sort of pressure on Congress all week, we have a shot at beating back the AgJOBS amnesty for up to 3 million illegal aliens. We are in much the same position as we were in yesterday. Our job right now is to make sure that every Senate office understands that their constituents strongly oppose the AgJOBS amnesty.

It all depends on you. Our Action Buffet team is busy posting new actions on your Action Buffet corkboard. Please go there immediately and send the faxes and make the phone calls we've posted on your Action Buffet .

If you have never called a Congressional office, today is the day to start. It is easy and only takes a few minutes of your time. Please call your two Senators today to express your opposition to the AgJOBS amnesty.

202-224-3121

NEED PRESSURE ON THE HOUSE TOO

Those of you who have a U.S. Representative who is on the House Appropriations Committee or is a member of the House Leadership will be seeing special fax and phone opportunities today as well.

We are hearing some disturbing reports of movement in some House offices to support the AgJOBS amnesty. We must stop this before it gains traction in the House. Your keeping the pressure on your Senators is also sending an important message to the House.

BACKGROUND

The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 17-12 to attach an amnesty to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. The amendment that passed provides a 5-year visa for up to 1.35 million illegal agricultural workers—but the cap of 1.35 million does not include spouses and children, who would bring the total amnesty to a total of about 3 million.

Rosemary Jenks (Vice President, Government Relations) has outlined the most egregious aspects of the amnesty here. You won’t want to talk about the AgJOBS amnesty without reading this first. Find it online here http://www.numbersusa.com/PDFs/AgJOBS_Amnesty_2008.pdf.

In short, the AgJOBS amendment would require the Department of Homeland Security to grant “emergency agricultural worker status” (i.e., amnesty) for up to five years to as many as 1.35 million illegal aliens, plus their spouses and children.

Last Thursday, the Senate Appropriations Committee added several immigration amendments to the version of the Iraq Supplemental they were marking up.

The immigration amendments include the Feinstein AgJOBS-lite amendment, which passed by a recorded vote of 17-12; and the Mikulski H-2B amendment which would, for the next three years, exempt from the annual cap of 66,000 any H-2B workers who were admitted during the previous three years. (The impact on the numbers could be exponential--they could rise from 66,000 in FY 2008 to over 400,000 by FY2011.) This passed by a recorded vote of 23-6!

On the same day, the House voted down its version of the Iraq Supplemental. Since all appropriations bill must originate in the House, the Senate cannot move their bill to the floor until the House passes a version and sends it to the Senate. A new Iraq Supplemental has not yet been put on the House floor schedule, but our Capitol Hill team expects that they will move one soon after their return on Tuesday.

The Senate has to wait for a House version of the bill which means it could come to a vote in the Senate as early as tomorrow or Thursday

That is why we are asking you right now and every day this week to go to your Action Buffet corkboard and take every AgJOBS-related action possible.

DON’T GIVE UP

A national outcry against this amnesty is developing. You are the reason why. Although we are still unsure how this will all play out, we are determined to keep the pressure on Congress to block any amnesty until the final vote has occurred. Thank you for being a part of this most important national effort.

There is absolutely no need for any sort of amnesty, and particularly not one for agricultural workers. Farmers, orchardists, and other agribusiness-owners can take advantage of the H-2A program to attain seasonal help. The Senate Appropriations Committee's vote only helps the renegade businessmen who would rather hire illegal workers at the expense of Americans just to make a quick profit.

This vote in favor of amnesty is a vote against our brave men and women fighting in Iraq.

Did you also know that this amnesty bill contains provisions to allow even more H-2B workers? We have more than enough foreign workers already, especially when one considers the number of unemployed American workers!

Please do your patriotic duty and either have the amnesty and foreign-worker provisions stripped from the Iraq supplemental funding bill or vote the entire bill down. Our brave servicemen and women risking their lives for our freedom deserve better than to be used in this manner.

Friends,

Today is the day. If you only do one thing this year to stop illegal immigration, call your Senators TODAY. Your phone call could be the one that stops the amnesty.

Phone your Senators today and tell them to oppose any immigration provisions in the Iraq Supplemental spending bill.

Senate Expected To Vote on Amnesty on Wednesday


In a somewhat unexpected move, the Senate began debate on the Iraq Supplemental Spending bill late in the day on Tuesday. As I write this, the Senate is still in general debate on the Iraq Supplemental (which is actually more like a mini omnibus bill). Senator Byrd (D-WV) filed three substitution amendments Monday night to H.R. 2642 (to replace all the House language in three parts). This is a similar tactic the House used during debate on their version of the Iraq supplemental bill last week: divide the bill in three to give cover to the different party constituencies. The AgJOBS language is in the first amendment (SA 4786). The Senate is not likely to get through general debate tonight, but could make it to the first amendment sometime tomorrow.

In short, this means the AgJOBS amnesty could come up for debate as early as Wednesday morning.

At this point, it is best not to get bogged down in the legislative details (because things are changing rapidly and many procedural moves are occurring). Instead, we are recommending you keep your message simple and to the point. Simply state something like the following:

”My name is _______. I’m calling from _________ to ask the Senator to oppose any immigration increases in the Iraq Supplemental including so-called emergency agricultural workers, H-2B unskilled workers, and employment-based permanent workers. I oppose amnesty and illegal immigration and expect the Senator to vote against all immigration increases.”

If you want to get specific, see the talking points below. But the most important need now is to flood Senate offices with phones calls opposing the AgJOBS amnesty and all other immigration increases in the Iraq Supplemental Spending bill.

Please go to your Action Board immediately and send the faxes and make the phone calls we've posted on your Action Buffet .

BACKGROUND AND DETAILS

The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 17-12 to attach an amnesty to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. The amendment that passed provides a 5-year visa for up to 1.35 million illegal agricultural workers—but the cap of 1.35 million does not include spouses and children, who would bring the total amnesty to a total of about 3 million.

That is why we are asking you right now and every day this week to go to your Action Buffet corkboard and take every AgJOBS-related action possible.

KEEP IT UP

You and the more than 625,000 members of the NumbersUSA Action Network are doing an incredible job of bringing attention to this amnesty threat. The media have started to cover the issue and all Senate offices are now aware of the stealth move to attach the AgJOBS amnesty and other immigration increases in the Appropriations Committee. Without you, the amnesty may already have sailed through under the radar. Keep it up. Please call your Senators today – your country is depending on you.

Thank you!

Your Phone Calls Worked!


Friends,

CONGRATULATIONS! You have achieved what some believed to be nearly impossible last week. The AgJOBS amnesty has been stripped from the Iraq Supplemental bill. Here's more good news: the employment-based permanent workers have been stripped from the bill too!

Unfortunately, the H-2B low-sill worker increase is still in the Iraq Supplemental so your phone calls are still needed.

Please keep phoning your Senators throughout the day and ask them to strip the H-2B increase from the Iraq Supplemental spending bill. During your call, you may also want to express how pleased you were to learn that the amnesty and employment-based permanent workers were stripped from the bill.

202-224-3121

Our Capitol Hill team heard initial reports late last night that the AgJOBS amnesty had been stripped from the bill, but we wanted to await confirmation of that before reporting back to you.

Apparently Senate Majority Leader Reid and other Senators were starting to fear a prolonged fight over the immigration provisions, similar to the Senate fight last summer over the "comprehensive" immigration bill. In order to avoid that, Senator Reid stripped the AgJOBS amnesty and employment-based permanent increases from the bill.

Your Phone Calls Made This Happen Our Capitol Hill team is hearing from one Congressional office after another that their phones have been ringing off the hook in opposition to the immigration provisions in the Iraq Supplemental.

There is still a chance we can get the H-2B increase stripped from the bill if Senators come to believe that it is just too controversial. We will come to you again later in the day or evening as we have new information.

BACKGROUND
The Senate Appropriations Committee voted 17-12 to attach an amnesty to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. The amendment that passed provides a 5-year visa for up to 1.35 million illegal agricultural workers—but the cap of 1.35 million does not include spouses and children, who would bring the total amnesty to a total of about 3 million.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Rosemary reminded me this morning that we won't be totally safe until the bill is off of the Senate floor, but we are in much better shape this morning than we were last night and you are the reason why. Once again, you have shown the power of citizen-activism and reminded Congress that their immigration actions are being watched.

Thank you for reminding our elected officials of the immigration wishes of your fellow Americans.

Battle still not over !

Partial Victory, but High Danger Remains!
Late yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) removed the Ag Worker Amnesty from the Iraq war funding bill because he was afraid of a prolonged battle over the immigration provisions. Your thousands of phone calls yesterday convinced him that there would be a high political price for pushing through a huge Illegal Alien Amnesty.
However, Reid has left in the bill another giant increase of UNSKILLED imported seasonal guest workers, from 66,000 to over 400,000 annually by 2011! Think about what an additional 334,000 unskilled foreign workers will mean to our communities!
Below I've reproduced Monday's urgent request for funds to defeat the Amnesty. Please donate immediately, so that we can turn a partial victory into complete victory!

Last Thursday, Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) managed to get a gigantic Illegal Alien Amnesty attached to the Iraq War funding bill. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Because this amnesty is attached to a so-called "must-pass" funding bill, it will now prove very difficult to defeat.

Our danger is SEVERE! Let me remind you of the stakes in this fight.

If it passes, this bill will GIVE AN AMNESTY to about 3 MILLION Illegal Aliens agricultural workers and their families for five years (at least!).
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][New situation—the Ag Workers Amnesty has been pulled from the bill. BUT the unskilled worker Visa increase remains!][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the midst of all my requests to you to fax and phone, my business staff reminds me that this is the mid-month point when I need to raise another month's financial support for our operations.

Several times last year we seemed on the verge of defeat in just this kind of circumstance. But each time, we alerted our NumbersUSA members, and you sent hundreds of thousands of faxes, made thousands of phone calls, and provided the financial support we needed in the crunch.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Time after time last year, we turned defeats into victories. But can we do it again?[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Our biggest asset is you, one of our army of that has now grown to over 600,000 activist members. YOU and your colleagues send 150,000 faxes A WEEK to Congress using the unique NumbersUSA faxing system. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I had hoped the threat of new amnesties was over until after the election.[/FONT] Well, Diane Feinstein pulled her fast one, and the battle we didn't want is now upon is.

Fair Alert- H-2B Visa Increase still on the Iraq Bill

65385.jpg
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 551px; HEIGHT: 734px" cellSpacing=4 cellPadding=4 align=center><TBODY><TR><TD>Three Down, One to Go!
Keep the Calls Coming!


Last night, Democratic Leadership partially capitulated and agreed to strip three of the four immigration amendments from the Iraq War Funding Bill that is on the Senate floor this week.
The move came when Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) made a point of order under Senate Rule 16, which prohibits legislating policy on an appropriations bill. The parliamentarian agreed, and stripped the following amendments:
  • The AgJobs Amendment that would have granted amnesty to 1.35 million agricultural workers and their families;
  • The Murray-Gregg Amendment that would have made approximately 218,000 more green cards available for multinational executives and so-called "highly skilled workers" by "recapturing" visas from as far back as 1994; and
  • The Leahy Amendment that would have extended for 5-years a program that helps wealthy investors get green cards.
However, Senate sources tell us that the Mikulski H-2B amendment - an amendment that could lead to hundreds of thousands of new unskilled H-2B guest workers flooding the labor market in only a few years - is still in the Iraq War Funding Bill. This is because the Iraq War Funding Bill is being considered in two parts and point of order raised by Senator Menendez only applied to the first part. The H-2B provision is in the second.
Please keep calling your Senators until Democratic Leadership strips this final special-interest immigration amendment from the Iraq War Funding Bill! Tell them that you oppose importing tens of thousands of new unskilled (H-2B) guest workers to appease corporate interests—and especially when the economy is struggling.
We heard throughout the day that your calls put intense pressure on Senators across the country. One staffer told us that the phones were "lighting up like a Christmas tree." Please help us make sure Congress looks out for the American people and not special interests.

<!--- copywrite only show on NON commentary pages as per joseph meeting 8/23/06 ------>[SIZE=-1]<!-- copyright -->© 2008 WorldNetDaily <!-- end copyright -->[/SIZE]
<!-- begin bodytext -->Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate have stripped 100 pages of controversial [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]immigration[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] provisions added as amendments to the supplemental Iraq war funding bill after a flood of e-mails and phone calls organized by amnesty opponents.
"The American people have been clear that they want us to restore the rule of law to our immigration system before legalization programs are considered, but I guess this Congress didn't get the message," Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said yesterday.
"I am pleased Democratic leaders realized there would be significant opposition to these controversial provisions," Sessions continued. "Stripping it was the right thing to do."
Among the provisions removed from the war funding bill was a special path to [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]citizenship[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] for four subgroups of immigrant agriculture workers: goat herders, sheep herders, dairy workers and horse herders. It is unclear why the groups were selected for special treatment.
(Story continues below)
<SCRIPT src="http://ads.worldnetdaily.com/admin/ads/banman.asp?ZoneID=360&Task=Get&Browser=NETSCAPE4&SiteID=1"> <!--document.write(adcode);// --></SCRIPT>

"It is unjustifiable to arbitrarily single out four groups of workers and create a special path to citizenship for an unknown number of goat herders, sheep herders, dairy workers and horse workers," Sessions said.
One immigration proposal remains in the second part of the Iraq supplemental funding bill which has not yet come up on the Senate floor for discussion.
That amendment, sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., would create an extension of three years for a worker returning under an H-2B visa, which Mikulski claims is necessary to save seasonal businesses such as seafood companies.
Opponents charged the immigration amendments attached to the Iraq war supplemental funding bill were a back door to amnesty.
"We must be realistic about what will happen at the end of the five-year period," Sessions said about the visa extensions proposed for [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]immigrant[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] agricultural workers. "Pro-amnesty forces know that if they can get a temporary legalization for workers, the [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]federal [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]government[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] won't have the will five years from now to do what it won't do today – enforce the law. Congress will likely turn a blind eye and a path to citizenship will result."
Border security proponents were concerned pro-illegal immigration forces were trying to pass comprehensive [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]immigration [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]reform[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] piece-by-piece, after having twice failed to pass omnibus immigration reform laws co-sponsored by Sens. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz.
Groups such as Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum organized telephone and e-mail campaigns objecting to the tactic of sneaking amnesty provisions into an Iraq war supplemental funding bill needed to support U.S. [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]military[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] forces in the field.
Yesterday, William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, or ALIPAC, sent out an e-mail thanking members for getting "the phone lines and talk radio shows white hot."
The Democratic leadership in the Senate abandoned the immigration amendments utilizing a rarely used Senate rule.
The Senate [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]Appropriations [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]Committee[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] had voted 17-12 to add to the Iraq funding bill as a domestic spending program the Ag-Jobs amendment offered by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho. That would have provided 1.35 million immigrant agricultural workers and an additional 1.65 million family members with 5-year [COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT='Times New Roman', Georgia, Serif]visas[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] to live and work in the United States.
The same day, the Senate Appropriations Committee voted to add the Mikulski amendment as a provision to the second part of the Iraq war supplemental funding bill.
Then later, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., in an unusual move, invoked Senate Rule 16 on the floor of the Senate, a rule that requires provisions in amendments to appropriations bills to be relevant to the underlying legislation.
As reported by Congressional Quarterly, Menendez's maneuver allowed Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., subsequently to replace the amendments added to the first part of the Iraq supplemental funding bill by the Appropriations Committee with a new version written by the Democratic leadership, excluding a variety of measures aimed at expanding visas for immigrant agricultural workers.
"Republicans were going to raise a point of order regarding germaneness anyway and had been stalling the bill all day," Afsin Mohamadi, press secretary to Menendez told WND in an e-mail. "The Majority Leader was supportive of a Democrat raising a point of order to end the stalling and move the bill along."
"Sen. Reid does not support an approach to immigration reform that does everything for businesses and nothing for families," Mohamadi added. "His point is that the sooner relief for business as well as families is on the table, the sooner there can be success in reforming the broken immigration system."
When the second part of the Iraq supplemental funding bill comes to the Senate floor for discussion, most likely on Thursday, the Mikulski provision would be subject to the same Rule 16 treatment, if the issue of germaneness gets raised once again at that time. http://numbersusa.com/actionbuffet

Total Victory! (For Now)-Thanks to those that called & Faxed

Victory! Amnesty, Other Measures Stripped from Iraq Spending Bill

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'](May 22) [/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Today,[/FONT][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) removed the final objectionable immigration measure from the Iraq supplemental spending bill (H.R. 2642) when he stripped provisions that would have increased H-2B visas for unskilled seasonal workers. These provisions would have exempted from the annual cap of 66,000 any H-2B nonagricultural seasonal workers who were admitted during the previous three years. This could have increased the annual number of H-2B workers to over 400,000 by FY 2011.<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:p></O:p>[/FONT]

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']On May 20, Sen. Reid stripped AgJOBS provisions that would have required the Department of Homeland Security to grant “emergency agricultural worker status” (i.e., amnesty) for up to five years to as many as 1.35 million illegal aliens, plus their spouses and children (bringing the total amnesty to about three million), if the illegal alien:<O:p></O:p>[/FONT]






  • Could show by “a preponderance of the evidence” that he worked 863 hours or 150 work days (defined as 5.75 hours of work per “work day”), or earned at least $7,000 in agricultural employment between January1, 2004, and December 31, 2007; <O:p></O:p>

  • Filed an amnesty application with a “qualified designated entity,” or with DHS directly if he is represented by an attorney or a nonprofit organization, during an 18-month application period that would begin six months after enactment of the amnesty; <O:p></O:p>
  • Was not a known terrorist or convicted criminal; and<O:p></O:p>
  • Paid a “fine” of $250.<O:p></O:p>
Click here to see a more detailed analysis by NumbersUSA.




[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Also removed from the bill on May 20 was a measure that would have "recaptured unused" employment-based visas from the past couple of decades. Since any employment-based visas that are not used in one year are added to the number of available family-based visas for the following year, there are no "unused" employment-based visas, and so there are none to "recapture." However, this deceptive manipulation of visa numbers would have added an estimated 218,000 employment-based visas to the annual cap of 140,000.<O:p></O:p>[/FONT]



Speaker Pelosi Strong-Arms Democrats to Disarm SAVE Act Threat<O:p></O:p>
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is using strong-arm tactics against anti-illegal-immigration Democrats in an effort to kill the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) for the year. North Carolina Democrat Heath Shuler's SAVE Act is an incredible threat to the unscrupulous businesses of America who insist on illegal labor to hold down their labor costs. Most business owners are not like that, but the outlaw businesses have the ear of Speaker Pelosi.


Pelosi and her team are intimidating Democrats to make sure they do not sign the Discharge Petition that would bring the SAVE Act to the floor for a vote. They know it would easily pass if there is a vote.

Even though 49 House Democrats have co-sponsored the SAVE Act, only 10 have signed the Discharge Petition. The other 39 Democrats have heard the message loud and clear that if they sign the petition and it gets the necessary 218 signatures to force a vote, those Democrats should not count on any favors or help for their congressional Districts from the House leaders.Click here to view the listof Representatives blocking the SAVE Act by NOT signing the Discharge Petition, and call if your Representative has sided with Speaker Pelosi and outlaw businesses.<O:p></O:p>
