Our Live Webcast of Amnesty Votes Wed — Today’s Update

Email from Roy Beck, President, NumbersUSA

Come To Our Office Tomorrow (VIA LIVE WEBCAST)
And Join Us As We Watch, Comment
And Analyze the House & Senate Amnesty Votes

YOU ALL HAD A GREAT DAY OF ACTIVISM TODAY.
YOU HAVE THE OPEN-BORDERS FOLKS ON THE RUN.

Action: Join our live webcast.

When the debates, arcane parliamentary maneuvers and voting start tomorrow, join our NumbersUSA staff in our conference room and watch with us.

The live streaming from our conference room will be on our home page:

www.NumbersUSA.com

We'll be doing what we always do when immigration comes to the floor for a vote -- anxiously gathering to watch how Congress responds to our days, weeks and months of mobilizing the grassroots. And discussing and arguing over what each detail means.

Nothing fancy or formal. Just turning the cameras on our staff session. But after having you in our conference room for 10 hours on Election Night, we thought you might like to join us again for this occasion.

We'll send you an email perhaps an hour before we go live. It is possible that we won't know when the debate will start until just a half-hour before.

It sounds like the House debate could start no earlier than 1 p.m. Wednesday. And then we'll turn the cameras on again when the Senate starts its debate. That is now scheduled for after 3:30 p.m. At the moment, 10 years of efforts to pass an amnesty could be resolved in just a few hours tomorrow afternoon.

Action: PHONE.

Keep phoning the target congressional office Wednesday until the votes are taken.

You have the email with the list of targets for your own particular region of the country that I sent earlier today. Keep working on that list.

You know that we never advocate letting up the pressure in any way until we have won. But our reports from the Hill suggest that your torrent of faxes and phone calls helped create great turmoil today among those trying to pass the DREAM Act amnesty.

House amnesty leaders are desperately seeking some kind of Hail Mary pass to pull out a last-minute victory.

They apparently still can't persuade 218 Representatives to vote YES on the DREAM amnesty, so they are talking about combining it with the AgJobs amnesty for a few million illegal aliens who can claim some past agricultural work. Their thought is that they can attract some extra Republicans who won't be willing to vote against something that big agri-business wants.

Of course, their plan would also create an amnesty that is twice the size to attract politicians who are squeamish about DREAM being too big.

Your phone calls Wednesday need to keep everybody in Congress as squeamish as possible.

Action: FAX.

Be sure you have sent all the faxes posted on your customized Action Board:

I apologize for how sluggish our website was today for many of you. We are going to have to expand our capacities, but what a great problem to have so many Americans trying to take action against a bill that would be sure to enlarge by millions the number of future illegal aliens and of additional workers competing against unemployed Americans within what everybody agrees will be a job shortage for many years to come.

Take a look at my new blog for extra ammunition in your faxes and phone calls.

THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK.

MAYBE WE CAN END THESE AMNESTY THREATS ONCE AND FOR ALL TOMORROW!

Reid Stuffs Defense Bill

WASHINGTON DC (SR) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he will add the DREAM Act, a highly unpopular and controversial immigration measure offering citizenship to some illegal immigrants, to an upcoming defense policy bill.

DREAM is an acronym for Don't Remove Ethnic Alien Morons.

Reid, who is fighting for his political life, called the DREAM Act "really important, especially for those illegal aliens of voting age living in Nevada."

Reid made the announcement at a Washington DC lowrider convention. 

My comments: This is the kind of stuff we're not going to miss much when you're out of office, you miserable self-serving pinhead!

Leaked DHS memo details amnesty without Congress involvement

• September 17th, 2010 12:16 pm PT

A newly leaked amnesty-memo inside
Department of Homeland Security reveals a way to grant amnesty without
Congress debating comprehensive immigration reform or casting a vote.

This is the third inside memo to
be leaked to the media regarding the Obama Administration’s intent to
legalize 20 million illegal aliens currently residing in Ao you intend
to get off your butt and do your job?

I already told you we did not elect you to just be “present!”  You are
supposed to be protecting our interests as well.merica unlawfully. The
first memos came out of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agencies- both put
together likely tools that could be used to make an amnesty end run
around lawmakers.

The American Spectator recovered
the latest document from DHS and reports some dubious plans that
insiders say went all the way up to the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.

“If going forward with a larger registration program is not possible,”
the memo reads, “we could propose a narrowly-tailored registration
program for individuals eligible for relief under the DREAM Act, AgJOBS,
or other specifically designed subcategories.”

For those who don’t believe the
Obama Administration’s intensions about back-door amnesty language
contained in the DREAM Act asks for targeted amnesty for children under
the age of 35 who attend college or join the armed services. The kicker
with the DREAM Act is the Democratic leadership is placing this
legislation inside a defense spending bill set to hit the Senate floor
next week.

Included in the DHS memo are
details about political ramifications of a backdoor amnesty push. The
memo outlines a beginning phase that would legalize illegal immigrants
through DHS without comprehensive immigration legislation. The DHS memo
also reads that by “using administrative measures to sidestep the
current state of Congressional gridlock and inertia,” would move the new
policy forward by documenting those here illegally.

Measures DHS would implement
include registering, fingerprinting, and screening the illegal immigrant
population-excluding those illegal aliens who have committed a felony-
but DHS envisions handing out eligible illegal immigrants work permits, a
process that would lead to their legal status.

However, the memo acknowledges
that sometime down the road Congress would have to pass legislation to
extend permanent legal residence.

This newly recovered memo is
consistent with inside memos from the USCIS and ICE, a key difference is
the concern about Congress’ reaction to being circumvented. “The
Secretary would face criticism that she is abdicating her charge to
enforce the immigration laws. Internal complaints of this type from
career DHS officers are likely and may also be used in the press to
bolster the criticism.”

In fact the USCIS has been looking
for ways to grant amnesty without Congress for sometime and their memo
outlined the method of skirting lawmakers. According to USCIS some
illegal aliens would be granted resident status by simply handing them
“green cards.”

“In the absence of Comprehensive
Immigration Reform, CIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many
individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations,” the
memo read, two of the four who wrote the controversial memo were
President Obama appointees including the head of USCIS Alejandro N.
Mayorkas.

TRUE LABOR DAY HEROES

TRUE LABOR DAY HEROES — 50 Best DEFENDERS of Jobless Americans (in face of unfair foreign labor competition)

By Roy Beck

In the best spirit of Labor Day, these 50 Members have spent the last two years standing up for the most vulnerable of all American workers – the unemployed.

They not only resisted major pressures to increase the flow of foreign labor, they also attempted to reduce immigration quotas (75,000 working-age immigrants every MONTH).

And they repeatedly tried to eliminate the job magnet for illegal immigration and to push the 7 million non-agricultural illegal workers out of their jobs to make room for some of the 22 million Americans who want a job but can’t find one.

A lot of politicians will stand up on Labor Day and claim they are the friends of jobless Americans.  But most of them have supported policies that give out more work permits to foreign workers each month than the economy is creating new jobs.

The 50 Members of Congress on this list are different. They put jobless Americans and their suffering families ahead of the demands of  corporate lobbyists seeking cheap labor for their unpatriotic clients.

EVERY POLITICIAN ON THIS LIST . . . .

• . . . . is asking voters to return him/her to Congress next year (I’m excluding Members from the list who aren’t facing elections this year)
• . . . . has a record over the last two years of the Jobs Depression of trying to reduce the number of foreign workers given permission to hold jobs instead of Americans
• . . . . earned a NumbersUSA immigration-reduction grade of A+, A or A-minus for committee votes, floor votes and bill co-sponsorships in this Congress that stopped increases in foreign labor and sought to reduce the volume.

This list is part of NumbersUSA’s DEFENDERS & DESERTERS of JOBLESS AMERICANS recognition efforts.

On Friday, we named the TOP 50 DESERTERS of JOBLESS AMERICANS. You can look at the list and join the discussion at: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/node/8107

The discussion is lively because so many people can’t believe that their Senator or Representative isn’t on the list of the 50 worst.  Please note the criteria used for picking 50 Members to highlight out of more than 120 who earned F-minus grades over the last two years.

In the 14 years that we have been rating Members of Congress, I don’t think we have ever had so many Members who have absolutely turned their backs on the desires of unemployed Americans to get a job. To get the “Worst” list down to 50, we had to limit it to the F-minus Members who magnified their assault on jobless Americans through leadership positions in Congress.

The horror and magnitude of so many politicans favoring high foreign labor during a time of incredible unemployment just makes the pro-worker efforts of the people on the 50 BEST DEFENDERS list even more special.

You can look up the full immigration records of all Members of Congress at our www.CongressGrades.org
