Bush to Propose Broad Amnesty Tell Congress to Say No! We regret having to interrupt your holiday season with bad news on the immigration reform front, but the Washington Post reports this morning that President Bush and Karl Rove-in order to appeal to Hispanic voters-are poised to announce a sweeping amnesty plan during the second week of January. If you like amnesty, mass legal immigration, and the continued unprecedented decline in the American economic standard of living, you'll love President Bush's proposal.

While the details of the plan remain unclear, President Bush is expected to propose an outline modeled after legislation currently pending in the House and Senate, H.R.2899 and S.1461. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Representatives James Kolbe (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced these bills. This upcoming plan will undoubtedly reflect what President Bush meant when he announced last week at a press conference that he wants to match "any willing worker with any willing employer."

Why Your Help is Needed Now

President Bush and Karl Rove are convinced that this plan will appeal to Hispanic voters without offending his Republican base. In order for Bush to make his immigration proposal a reality, however, he will need to convince the leadership of the House of Representatives to press his plans on their Republican House colleagues who know better.

Here's How You Can Help:

First, send a free faxed message from our web site to President Bush, House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Follow up your faxes with phone calls. Call the White House comment line at 202-456-1111 and leave a brief message telling the president no to his amnesty plan. Call the Speaker's office at 202-225-0600 and the Leader's office at 202-225-4000 and leave a brief message. Tell Speaker Hastert and Leader DeLay that Republicans should not abandon their law and order principles by advancing the open borders policies preferred by Democrats.

Your faxes and phone calls will be needed continuously over the course of at least the next three weeks. Please ask your friends, family, and coworkers to follow your lead in making their voices heard as well.

Talking Points:

Giving illegal aliens legal status does nothing to improve our national security. In fact it would take years and years to do background checks on the estimated 9-11 million illegal aliens who could be eligible for amnesty. An illegal alien who was amnestied in 1986, after all, later masterminded the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

Any guestworker program leading to legal status for illegal aliens is an amnesty and threatens homeland security by encouraging more illegal immigration. Every time an elected official talks about the possibility of granting amnesty to illegal aliens, it says to would-be illegal aliens that they had better get into the United States while the getting is good.

This program would reward people who have cheated the system with permanent residence. This country is based on the rule of law-it should not be manipulated by people who have cheated their way to the front of the line.

The current recovery from economic recession is unique in post World War II recoveries in that it comes without any benefit for American workers-just more offshore job outsourcing, low paying jobs, and an accompanying decline in the nation's standard of living. This new guestworker program may match any willing employer with any willing worker, but for American workers this means being displaced by cheap foreign labor and declining wages and working conditions for those fortunate enough to find or keep a job.

You're a liberal. If you would have voted for Gore, and you're voting to keep Bush out in '04, then you're a liberal, no matter what you say.

Sorry Charlie, I'm not buying it. Every time someone around here brings up an issue on which Bush has gone left, a partisan Republicrat raises this sort of an issue. The real *liberal* is the politican who is advocating such an absured policy.

It's time that FR recovered its identity as a bastion of *conservatism*, not a center of Republican party loyalty. The Rockafeller-Libertarians are unelectable, plain and simple. They lose every election they try and win without the aid of the majority conservative base. And if it takes being a minority party for a decade for them to learn that lesson, so be it.

Sorry, Kay, but Bush is going to win in '04, without you.

Stew, if you must.

Amnesty for Illegals ain't exactly conservative.

Spin, if you must.

Approximately 80 million white people will stay home next November 4.

It was my intentions to just stay home and not vote. But not anymore. I have made my mind up to vote for Al Sharpton. He doesn't stand a chance of winning and it is a vote against Bush.

"Thanks for the link to Numbers.USA. I sent faxes to all the objectives listed. Is Fair a repeat of the same, or should I go visit them as well?"

You're welcome thanks for taking action. Fair is a repeat of the same.

Leaders who show contempt for the law breed lawlessness in our streets. Don't vote for criminals.

Sadly, that usually means not voting at all.

[bushfamfan]

He signs Ted Kennedy's education bill, signs the campaign finance law that he was supposedly against, didn't fight for Estrada like he said he would and isn't doing much for the other nominees, signs this Medicare bill, is turning on Israel, isn't doing all he could regarding our veterans, and now this! The insanity doesn't stop and it's to the point he will lose a very many votes because he is an unprincipled traitor who thinks he's going to get conservative votes because the alternative being a Demonrat. If this is true, I've lost all respect for Bush. He just doesn't know when to stop and seems to be continuing on this liberal path. He's sold his soul and will sell this country's soul with this.

bumping..

I called and left a message on the WH message line to Bush... NO AMNESTY.. DEPORTATION

[goldilucky]

This is the main reason why I don't support Bush. How is it that we can afford to send american troops overseas to patrol foreign borders yet when it comes to our own we won't do it?

It makes no sense to me at all. Granting amnesty to illegals is not only assinine but is an impeachable offense. What is the purpose of fighting terrorism when our borders are wide open? It's as if Congress and this current administration invite terrorism into this country for the purpose of suspending the constitution and implementing marshal law. That's what it really seems like to me. This administration is not concerned about protecting the americans against terrorism. Just oil interests.

write in vote for Vincinte Fox

so what does it matter that he wasn't born here and isn't a citizen - we can give him amnesty and waive the law for president requiring US birth. In fact, I don't think the law says the president must even be a resident of the US.

[goldilucky]

If this President insist on giving amnesty to illegals, he can kiss his re-election for the Presidency goodbye in '04. That's it. Americans have had it.

[Zipporah]

write in vote for Vincinte Fox ..

Now THAT is hilarious!! I'm writing in Tancredo.. but great idea really..

[CaptIsaacDavis]

ARE THEY PREPARED TO BE "EQUAL" OPPORTUNITY BETRAYERS AND SURENDER MONKEYS AND GIVE AMNESTY TO ALL CRIMINALS? SHOULDN'T AMERICAN CRIMINALS GET A BETTER DEAL THAN FOREIGN INVADERS?

[Celtman]

It's not the employers' job - its the government's.

[brianl703]

"they have the unbashed goal of altering America to resemble their native Third World lands."

So why the hell did they leave?

[nonliberal]

Then what IS the motive?

To keep the campaign funds coming in from the cheap labor lobby.

[joesnuffy]

In order to keep a homogeneous group from foiling their new world order plans..they need to keep "we the people" at each others throats as much as possible...

By packing a nation with as many large numbers of diverse ethnic groups there will never be a unified uprising against the increasingly powerful socialist world govt...

Because 'the people' will be too busy battling each other over scarce resources...and by importing criminals and those who do not share the same values...the need for a central outside police force will be the only unifying factor all will agree to....

The controllers main concern is keeping the Anglos (who most closely identify with the founding fathers) from organizing and busy with concerns closer to home..aka survival....

They will bring order to the chaos they create...management by crisis...dialectic

[Zipporah]

The deeper I delve into this topic.. the stranger it gets. It has been argued that 'we are a nation of immigrants'..doesn't that apply to any nation? Our's only being more recent? The other being.. diversity is our strength.. I contend that diversity causes strife. All you have to do is look at the civil wars across the world and their cause. I only wish people realized the severity of what we are facing.

I have made my mind up to vote for Al Sharpton

I'm writing in Tancredo. He may not win, but at least he represents the majority of Americans. Bush is too busy bowing to foreigners.

[Brownie74]

I'll probably write in Tancredo also. I was just so mad when I read this article I would have voted for Hillary if there had been a ballot in front of me.

Some of my friends here in Dallas feel the same way I do. They're not going to vote for Bush again. Parts of Dallas looks like Tijuana anyway. Enough is enough.
