Yesterday, Congressmen Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) held a conference call with reporters in which they announced their intention to introduce a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill on Thursday. There were few substantive details released at that time, but sources tell us that at the very least, the bill will contain some sort of amnesty provision for illegal aliens currently in the United States.
This morning, CongressDaily reports that Congressmen Flake and Gutierrez, who had been participating in negotiations with Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Ted Kennedy (D-MA) about the components of a new immigration bill, have now decided to let the Senate move on its own track and forge ahead with their legislation in the House. One aide to Flake is quoted as saying, "The House has not had a chance to consider a comprehensive immigration bill."
Observers note that there has been discord in the Senate as Members have had difficulty pleasing both the demands of labor and big business. Nevertheless, Senator Kennedy issued a statement applauding the introduction of "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation in the House. The statement said, "While we're still negotiating in the Senate, I'm optimistic that we will have legislation soon."
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!!!
Please call your Representatives TODAY and urge them to reject guest worker amnesty legislation. Tell them:
You oppose guest worker programs that displace American workers and depress wages; You oppose rewarding illegal immigration with a path to citizenship; Rewarding illegal immigration will only lead to more illegal immigration; and Granting amnesty is inherently unfair to those who play by the rules, apply through legal channels, and patiently wait in line to come to the United States. To find the phone number for your Representative, click here.
Your voices do make a difference!!! Yesterday, the New York Times reported that candidates campaigning in Iowa are hearing non-stop from voters who are upset at the prospect Congress will pass guest worker amnesty legislation. The paper writes: "The issue has become much more complicated as the presidential campaign has gotten under way, exposing the Republicans in particular to voters who are angry about what they see as porous borders, growing demands from immigrants on the social welfare and education systems and job losses that they link at least in part to a low-wage labor force coming over the border."

In addition, PLEASE take time out of your busy schedules to attend town hall meetings! Go with your family, friends and neighbors to let your Representatives and Senators know how you feel. While you may not immediately see how persuasive you are, FAIR hears stories from Congressional staffers all the time about how immigration is one of the most important issues at district events. Members want to hear from their voters, and if you do not voice your opinion, the voices of special interests will prevail!
Stay tuned for more updates from FAIR.
Should have figured as much. Bush mentioned the Comprehensive Immigration Bill yesterday during the question and answer period about G;onzales. I guess Bush and Teddie Kennedy will be working together to destroy our country.
It's all downhill from here...........in a handbasket........
"I guess Bush and Teddie Kennedy will be working together to destroy our country."
Sure. This Bush will try to complete what was started by Daddy......fortunately Daddy got a surprise, and had only 7 weeks as a lame duck when he was expecting a full 4 yrs. After he was defeated in the 92 election, he STILL comitted the USA to the "fast-track" re NAFTA.......THIS Bush currently has 22 months as a lame duck to do whatever he and other trilateralists can get away with.
On May 1st, yet again, we will be harassed with another "Day without an Immigrant" Nation wide, disgusting protest march with demonstrations and boycott.
The American public overwhelmingly does NOT support this Shamnesty bill.
It must be stopped!

Conservative Republicans, the few that are left like Sessions and Tancredo and Hunter, need to submit an amendment, to wit:
g.) All illegals subject to the provisions of this legislation shall have a minimum wage equal to the Davis-Bacon wage rate in effect for that locality.
h.) All ilegals subject to this legislation shall be guaranteed employment for life by the hiring or sponsoring employer.
i.) Employers of illegals may not outsource these or any other jobs to offshore locations.
That will kill it fast.
Unless the Dems and RINOs want to deny a living wage to these new Americans.
I really dont think all these illegals want to become citizens, why should they? they get more now being a non citzen...and are a protected class, our government protects them.
I hope it can be stopped but I doubt it can be stopped. Too much money is exchanging hands (did I say that?) and money moves our congress critters.
Making them "legal" isn't quite the same as making them citizens. But, no matter what, they'll still get goodies and you and I will pay for them. That is, unless the "deal" requires them to pay all back taxes not collected since the got here...........

Wian: Even the Los Angeles Teachers Union is demanding the effective end of immigration law enforcement.
Marc Rich: We demand full rights for all workers in the United States, documented or undocumented.
Wian: Organizers claim recent immigration raids have created an atmosphere of racist terror against immigrant communities. In fact, there's evidence the White House has backed off of immigration lawbreakers in recent months.

Someone who is in the know, please offer some guidance.
Is it more effective to:
1) Call my Congressperson's local office
2) Call my Congressperson's office in D.C.
3) Email Congressperson
Numbersusa has everything you need to fax letters RIGHT NOW!
Enough to make one puke!!
Soundes just like Preznt Boosh in Mexico!
Here we go!!!!!!!!!!
Big mistake to grant "amnesty" to more than 40 million illegal intruders.
Talk about washing your hands of a big problem!!!!
Time to lock and load up on more ammo.
What makes you think it will make a difference where ever you send it???
They just do not listen!!!
It must be stopped!
Here is what we need to worry about, not just "immigration":

What has happened to my poor country?
Screw labor and big business.
Aren't these political slimebags supposed to be working for ("pleasing") us?
"What makes you think it will make a difference where ever you send it??? "
That's not completely true.
Sometimes they do ignore such things, especially in the Senate. The Senators know that all the people will forget how they voted by the time re-election rolls around for them.
Not so in the House. Their votes are much more memorable.
This issue got swatted down once before in the House because so many people called or wrote and expressed their opinion. The House is still somewhat skittish about this issue because of the previous experience and it wouldn't take much to make remind them.
The "report" you site is bogus. There is no joint INS/FBI report. For more realistic statistics go here: http://www.ice.gov/pi/news/factsheets/immigration_enforcement_initiatives.htm

Thanks for the reply.
I should have turned off the "sarcasm" light!!!
Come on now. It is about time we replace our 40 million aborted Americans, most of which would have been minimum wage laborers, with a legally authorized work force!
I just want ever Immigration bill to begin:
"Given that over the last 3 decades the United States has killed 40 million of its citizens and lost most of it's laborers..."
I talked to the ICE people . they don't have the numbers. but they do have the number of foreign nationals convicted of being child preditors.
Burn up the phone lines Ping!
AMNESTY
There's a foul wind rising, and dark clouds billowing on the horizon.
This "amnesty" will only cause horrific damage to this country.
When their bambinos turn 18 they will vote for any candidate that promises rewards to madre and padre for all their past "suffering".
To wit; my tagline.
Done.
Since 1972 and the unlawful resolution on RvW by the USSC, America's birthrate among multi-generational Americans has declined to below replacement level. Today 2/3 births are to ONE and TWO generation "Americans", or to those whose forefathers had little or no sweat equity in building this great country. Consider how that has the potential to change the dynamics of the USA.
At current immigration levels - legal and illegal, in just ONE more generation, there will be a majority of voters in America through the "anchor baby" system having more generational ties to another sovereign country than to the United States.
Hopefully their bambinos will be "Americanized" to the point that they won't give a rat's hind leg about voting when they turn 18, and up to about 25 or so. I didn't much care about it when I was 18. I was too busy doing other stuff, like girls, cars, stereos etc. Oh, yeah, I joined the USMC, too for 4 years. Didn't see much news or pay much attention then either. I f they are like my 20 year old daughter and her friends, they are more into having a good time and listening to music rather than talk radio or reading Cosmo or H'wood people rags rather than newspapers. ......
Wishful thinking, I am afraid.
Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA):
For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.
"For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing."
It's a comprehensive sell-out of our country.
From what I've seen, first proudly identifying themselves as American is increasingly not among those traits. Its just not as socially acceptable as being oppressed and 'ethnically diverse'.
This country is being invaded and our so-called leaders willingly surrender to the invaders, even offer inducements, in a manner that borders on treason.
If he signs this treason he'll catapult from mediocre president to Worst in History.
Along with a whole bunch more of those globalist traitors. We need to try them for treason and hang the bast*rds. They could care less about Americans. Impeach them NOW!! IF they are not impeachable, surely we can recall them? There has to be some remedy? I have never been so angry in my life. Their arrogance is unbelievable. IF they get away with this, they will keep on taking away our rights.
