Cromwell hung the traitors in Parliment. We need to hold a mail order lymch party. I will use fedex to my two senators and rep.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up and for sharing details of your personal story.

I had already intended to write to my Congressman and my Senators today but this just adds more impetus to that effort. I also intend to write the RNC and let them know this issue may put them out of business with me and a lot of other voters.

I agree that US Mail is the way to go, since it is very easy to ignore emails or turn off the fax machine. For their 41 cents, USPS will deliver every single letter and, money hungry SOBs that they are, the staff will have to open them because there might be a donation in them.

In fact, I intend to include a check for very small amount of money (say $0.10) and will warn them that I intend to check their campaign filings with the FEC to ensure that they report it properly. Imagine the attention that say...10,000 letters of complaint will get if each one of them has to be individually processed because they had a small amount of money in them. I’m still researching what the minimum contribution is but given our new Congressional leadership’s emphasis on ethics it may be a low as $0.01.

Although deporting all of them might be emotionally appealing, the law of unintended consequences applies. (Like those one industry small communities in the South that are undergoing major economic problems because ICE raids scared away their significant illegal immigrant worker populations.) Maybe a better approach is to make sure that any “grace” that is extended to regularize the status of illegal immigrants can’t possibly be mistaken for amnesty. Sort of a strong welcoming pat on the back by a hand wrapped in barbed wire.

Here are a couple of things I am going to suggest:

- Every illegal immigrant and any children must immediately and personally turn themselves in to the ICE.
- Immediate formal apprehension, processing, and, after a wanted and warrants check, parole by ICE.
- Appropriations to properly staff and fund ICE operations to accomplish surge processing.
- Must carry parole papers with them at all time and present them on demand to law enforcement officials.
- Full, voluntary, and complete disclosure and taxation of all financial and employment activity since arriving illegally.
- Future full compliance with all US laws (federal, state, local).
- Strict lifetime residency reporting requirements.
- Very painful fine structure (not $5,000 - a minimum of $25,000).
- No citizenship for border jumpers (permanent resident status only).
- No public office holding (elected or appointed) for border jumpers.
- No public policy office holding for border jumpers.
- Citizenship for their US born children only upon reaching adulthood with an acceptable police record (i.e. minor traffic tickets okay but no drugs, major crime and gangs)
- End of the “notch baby” effect for other family members.
- Immediate deportation without further judicial proceeding for violating any of these provisions.
- And last but not least, really huge fines and mandatory jail time for any company employing unparoled illegal aliens.

The time to stop amnesty was last November. The Democrats won the election because Republican leaning districts saw those who vote choose Democrats. When you are in the minority you cannot control legislation. Not all Republicans are conservative but there are no other conservatives in the Congress except Republicans.

SO EVERYBODY START CALLING YOUR CONGRESSCRITTERS TOMORROW ...

Oh, you mean the Democrats that the libs elected; you expect calling them will accomplish something ? The time to act is in elections.

The first thing I did this morning was e-mail my senators. I then went on to read that one of mine Saxby Chambliss is one of the hold outs, he will not go along with this travesty. I guess he reads his own website.

Of the following issues, which do you think is most urgent in Georgia?

Crime/Methamphetamine:

7%
Illegal Immigration:

58%
Education:

14%
Health Care:

19%
Economic Development:

4%

4813 total votes

At least he knows where I stand. This is absolutely making me sick to my stomach.

The best way to stop this in its tracks is to elect Duncan HUnter in 2008.

We can't wait until 2008.

[Cornpone]

Thank you.

We simply cannot afford complacency. 68% tells me it’s not just conservatives or democrats who oppose amnesty. The elites see we aren’t making any noise. They interpret that as apathy about the issue. Only sheep give up without a fight. Politics is about more than just elections.

Thanks for the post.

It is imperative that calls be made before the vote on Monday

Senate Amnesty / Guestworker Debate Delayed until May 21
(May 17) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) delayed until May 21 the cloture vote on the motion to proceed to S. 1348, immigration legislation very similar to last year’s Senate-passed amnesty bill (S. 2611). The vote was delayed to buy Senators more time to negotiate a “compromise” bill and draft its language

Thank you

And you think Fred Thompson would be better than Duncan Hunter? If amnesty is defeated, who on the horizon would you choose to be the next president of the United States?

This is a great article...

[Cacique]

Can you please place this in News/Activism/Chapters where it was originally intended for? Thank you.

Thank you for the heads up. Wrote, stamped and mailed to Baird, Murray and Cantwell this morning, for what it’s worth.
