Rebecca Hagelin shows why amnesty is a disaster for our country - and lists six principles underlying real immigration reform. We need to make sure our laws accord with our national values - not cynically undermine them til they disappear altogether. We should do right by our country, by the future of our children and those who come here seeking to be Americans.

I'd offer a broader one: the rule of law can only survive when those who seek to obey the law are treated better than those who flout it.

I wish someone in the spotlight would put things in such terms; it would expose the people who want to undermine the rule of law.

As Rector puts it, that's like having the taxpayers buy every illegal immigrant family a brand-new Mustang convertible every year!

My office is near a county run welfare distribution center. I often see illegal aliens drive up with their brand new Mustang Convertibles (I'm not kidding) and their BMW's and Cadillac Escalades and pull their anchor babies out of their car seats and go inside to get welfare benefits.

1-800-417-7666. (English number) will direct you right to your Senators . . . please tell them you oppose this bill.

People should be more upset that than they are (it was barely on the news last night) that they killed an amendment to the amnesty bill that would have barred giving legal residence to felons. In other words, 600,000 felons who are currently illegal and could be deported will be given the right to remain in the country legally. They did pass Kennedy’s amendment that will bar sexual offenders from residence . . . which he put in to kill the stricter amendment barring all felons . . . but the Senate then voted to allow murderers, armed robbers, credit card fraudsters (which is how a lot of the Muslim terrorists fund themselves), and all other felons to be given the Z visa and stay. Here in Florida, where I live, we will probably get over 10% of them . . . over 60,000 new criminals to legally walk our streets with full rights when they get out of jail. It’s horrible to think about but they will be walking the same streets as my daughter.

7. Any implementation of the above six principles must involve either a repeal of the 14th Amendment or an application of it to its original intent. No anchor babies.

8. Legal immigration to address labor shortages should not be a means to suppress market wages of citizens. Such actions undermine the ability of the country to produce its own vital scientific, engineering and technical workers by providing disincentives to enter such fields.

CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!

Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

The best way to stop Shamnesty
