BUMP to link at #12. Please, we must phone and email again. It worked last time. Too much is at stake to ignore this bill.

“Why increase the number of foreign workers when the Maryland commercial crab harvest will be reduced by 50 percent this year?”

More than that, John McCain should be contacted and called on to denounce this in public tomorrow.

He knows a large majority of the American People are against Amnesty, why isn’t he angry about it?

***Contact your senators.***

Sen. Toe-Tapping Craig is one of only ten Republicans - McCain was another - who voted against the Cronyn amendment - that is insane. He actually opposed barring foreign terrorists and other violent criminals from the US.

The biggest threat to this country comes from amnesty, open borders, and the hordes of illegal aliens roaming across the country. The planes on 9/11 did not take off from Iraq but from US soil.

We need to start contacting Washington to defeat this outrageous bill.

Because the more third world ‘workers’ they can import the faster the U.S. will turn into a third world country.
I truly believe that is their goal now.

It does appear to be at least one of the goals.

the Feinstein-Craig measure revived instantaneously the controversy that caused conservatives to lash out at the White House and Congress last summer

As always our elected representatives count on the hummingbird-like attention spans of the unwashed masses, or the American Idol grande finale, to distract us from demanding accountability for their dirty deals.

Good question! I have wondered the same for years. My first guess, it that most illegals don't even have Mexican driver licenses. If they had a license and a car they would just be able to drive over the border, and not need coyotes to walk them over.

At least that is what I think.

According to Feinstein, the legislation is supported by the American Farm Bureau, the United Farm Workers, and other similar organizations but this is likely because it allows those employers to continue paying excessively low wages.

And how much insurance business does the farm bureau want to lose!! Will be asking my agent tomorrow?

Contact our Senators again? We now have a new element to contend with.

I am sorry that Ted Kennedy has just been diagnosed with brain cancer. OTOH, even tho he may live for years to come, the tearful Senate will guarantee his legacy lives on in the form of approving his comprehensive immigration reform.

They are going to make a hero out of him yet. I don't have faith that our Senators will do the right thing for America anymore.

By contacting the senators at least we have tried. I am not about to surrender silently. What else can we do?

Impossible to think of Kennedy as a hero since he let Mary Jo die, betrayed his wife Joan, and has pushed legislation harmful to this country.

>>But the H-2A visa program exists and works without a cap.
......

Additionally, AgJobs would maximize H-2B visas....<<

Wait a minute. If there is no cap, why would they need to “maximize” H-2Bs?????

>>If an alien is in the country legally, i.e. a work visa for five years they are eligable under immigration law to apply for naturalization (citizenship).<<

Where does it say that AGJOBS will give out “permanent resident” visas? Usually they just use work visas in this kind of program. I am fiercely opposed to AGJOBS but I think you are mistaken about the kind of visa they would get.

Of course, their odds of finding a loophole or qualifying for a future amnesty, are, unfortunately, pretty good. And once they enter the USA legally, who is going to check to see if their visas are expired (rhetorical question)?
