Every politician, esp. senators, needs to understand that they will be held accountable for their actions by those that put them in office! It will be political suicide for any of them to vote for amnesty for illegal aliens. The majority of American people that oppose this are not racist nor are they stupid. No black, white, nor any other color of person that I know wants to loose their job and find out that an illegal alien got it. These are angry people, angry at those who are supposed to be looking out for our best interest, but are proving to be traitors to Americans. Obama and those that help him are morally bankrupt.
This is out there for anyone with a brain to read. Read what is on the Webb. Go to a Canadian hospital. The new president of the Canadian Medical Association says Canadian doctors must recognize how sick the Canadian system is and figure out how to fix it. Dr. Anne Doig said, "We all agree that the system is imploding, and we all agree that things are more precarious than Canadians perhaps realize."
Stephen Glover, a columnist for the London Daily Mail, defended Britain's National Health Service but conceded that Americans wouldn't like it. "Consult any American who has encountered the National Health Service," he writes. "Often [visiting Americans] cannot believe ... the squalor, the looming threat, the long waiting lists and especially the target that patients in 'accident and emergency' should be expected to wait for no more than four! {that's right! He said,} four! hours! The sense exuded by some medical staff that they are doing you a favor by taking down your personal details. Most Americans, let's face it, are used to much higher standards of health care than we enjoy." {You say you want this for your mom? Your dad? your little girl? your baby? You are more than stupid. You are an idiot!}
The American people are not as dumb as Obama and you politicians like to think we are, and nothing will educate all of you politicians like a well-aimed two-by-four across the head. That's the hard lesson of the summer of '09. For the Senate to even consider giving permanent work permits to 8 million illegal foreign workers this year while 13 million jobless American workers would like to have their jobs is nothing short of treachery.
I want you people that like the idea of Obama taking care of you to answer this question. "How can you vote on anything without knowing what it is that you are voting for!?" That is what your politicians, esp. your senators are doing! They don't even know what the stupid bill says for crying out loud!!! Second question. "How can you add 50,000,000 people to a health plan and not add the doctors and nurses and additional support staff to take care of them!!??" Remember what you just read about what Dr. Anne Doig said, the president of the Canadian Medical Association. "We all agree that the system is imploding,[she is talking about government socilized health care here, she goes on to say] "and we all agree that things are more precarious than Canadians perhaps realize." Did you catch that? The public don't even know how bad things are becaues their leaders have lied to them and mislead them. The person that said these words is in a position to know what she is talking about! Did you catch the word "imploding"?
Over 13,000,000 Americans are out of work!!! we allow 1.5 million each year to come into America!!. America will die if we allow this to continue!!
There is overwhelming evidence that national health care does not work!It's there for anyone to see that has a brain, the evidence that we as a nation cannot pay for this is there, and the evidence that Americans are loosing their homes, they can't feed their kids, they are loosing their cars and can't pay their bills!! This is right in front of everyones nose.
I like to help people. Especiall people down on their luck. However, you cannot bankrupt America because people need something. I lost a bussiness after 9-11, I had to start all over at the age of 56. If that happened today, I couldn't even find a job. Why? Because a non-American has it, that's why! Charity starts at home! Obama and the politicians that back him are like a man or woman that will go to another town and feed and house the homeless and feed the hungry while letting their spouse and children go naked, freeze, and starve to death! A person like that is not worthy and does not deserve to be in public service! I said "Public Service!" They work for Americans!! Not the other way around!
I say this and mean it from the bottom of my heart. I am sick of Obama and his donkey crowd! Obama and his "donkey crowd" are villians of the worst sort! They lie constantly! I believe they fully intend to take every freedom that our Constitution allows us as Americans!
Some of the very ones that helped him get into office now say they would never vote for him again!
I never voted for him and I never would! Not because of his color, but for what he stands for. He stands for socialisim. He stands for complete control! He stands for bigger and bigger government control of our lives! He thinks that he and his idiot donkeys know what is best for you and I, more so than than we do! You see, as far as Obama and his donkeys are concerned we are dumb sheep in need of a leader.
Americans better wake up because we stand on the edge of a cliff and once we fall off of it, it will be too late.

Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

-Berthold Brecht

The distinguished political scholar, Samuel Huntington wrote, “The transformation of the United States into a [culturally bifurcated] country…would not necessarily be the end of the world; it would, however, be the end of the America we have known for more than three centuries. Americans should not let that change happen unless they are convinced that this new nation would be a better one.”

Unfortunately for the majority of American citizens, our political elite believes that it would be a better one because it would permanently relieve them of the burden of accountability to an active, informed citizenry that demands honest and transparent government. Importing a new constituency from Latin America (with much lower expectations of government) could be expected to keep them in power with ethnic bloc votes indefinitely. Such political support could be easily purchased from the new constituents with special ethnic interest legislation and expensive public services paid for with revenues extorted from their traditional oppressors (aka American taxpayers).

Of course, such an arrangement is ultimately unsustainable, as the goose that laid the golden egg would be slowly destroyed by falling wages and crushing taxes. This has already happened in California.

Below is a response from Senator Casey (PA) to an email that I sent asking why he voted against the E-verify extension.
I am confused. In spite of an "F" illegal alien report card he appears to be saying that he supports securing our boarders and E-verify. I don't know what to make of this.
But interesting reading from a political standpoint.
Thank you for taking the time to contact me about immigration and the E-Verify program. I appreciate hearing from all Pennsylvanians about the issues that matter most to them.
E-Verify is a government-sponsored program used by employers to electronically verify the eligibility of prospective employees. It is illegal for an employer to knowingly hire or continue to employ an alien who is not eligible to work. Employers may use E-Verify to electronically verify new hires’ employment authorization using the databases of the Social Security Administration and, if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security.
I believe securing our borders should be one of our highest priorities and employment verification is a crucial step in this process. The government must find a way to enforce existing laws that include harsh penalties for employers who hire illegal immigrants. Businesses should be required to submit the Social Security or immigrant identification numbers of any job applicant to a computerized system that will determine if they are permitted to work and should be sanctioned if they do not comply with this protocol.
As E-Verify was set to expire in March of 2009, a six-month reauthorization of the program was included in H.R. 1105, the fiscal year 2009 Consolidated Appropriations bill that was signed into law on March 11, 2009. During consideration of the bill, a number of amendments were introduced that, if agreed to by the Senate, would have obstructed final passage of the bill by Congress and potentially led to a gap in funding for critical programs, including E-Verify. Therefore, I voted to remove from consideration an amendment offered by Senator Sessions to reauthorize E-Verify for six years. The majority of Senators voting agreed and the amendment was not included in the bill as it was signed into law.
Effective June 30, 2009, pursuant to an Executive Order issued by President Bush on June 6, 2008, federal contractors and subcontractors are required to use E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of all new hires and current employees who perform contract services for the federal government within the United States.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.
If you have access to the Internet, I encourage you to visit my web site, http://casey.senate.gov. I invite you to use this online office as a comprehensive resource to stay up-to-date on my work in Washington, request assistance from my office or share with me your thoughts on the issues that matter most to you and to Pennsylvania.
Sincerely,
Bob Casey
United States Senator

NumbersUSA Moderator: Sen. Casey uses a tired old excuse. He claims that the amendment to extend E-Verify for six years would have hurt the overall bill's chances. Really? Would a majority of Senators voted against workplace verification?  By shelving the amendment, Senators can appease the open-border lobby, claim that they actually support E-Verify, and set up another debate this fall when they can try to package E-Verify with a larger amnesty.

The unstated fact of our politicians, mostly of Charles Schumer's persuasion, is that when you have so many people with so many issues fracturing a coherent idea or ideal, it is easy to pass whatever you want. Just look at the two parties and how each party represents so many different interest groups. Many against amnesty/illegal and also high legal immigration are in both parties. But they are not enough to influence an election as each party knows these people only have two places to go (Dem or Rep). Therefore, if both support amnesty, they will split the vote. But if one is against, he will be labeled a racist and not enough against illegal immigration will cross over, since they will be persuaded that short term issues likes taxes or free trade or union/nonunion are more important. Fact is, no issue is more important then amnesty or illegal immigration since once you have 15 million more in our country, they are here forever. Whereas taxes, free trade. etc. can be changed and are changed with every election. Wake-up and support the candidate against amnesty or illegal immigration no matter what their other issues are.

DREAM ACT POLL! @ kcstar.com -pro/con poll DREAM ACT !
4-24-09 VOTE NOW ! 73% - NO -TO DREAM ACT ! 27% FOR

The only thing that will stop Congress is when taxpayers run out of money. Estimates in Illinois are that illegal aliens cost our state $3.5 billion. Governor Quinn wants to double the state income tax with no mention of cutting services to illegals. We have the highest county sales tax in the nation. As far as property taxes are concerned: over half the students in Chicago public schools are Hispanic, with Chicagoans footing the bill, and plans to build 11 more schools. Only when there is no money left to tap will Congress stop.

Sent in another fax to my senators. I've also shared the below information with others, it has a powerful effect on people:

They say that Washington lives in a dream world. I can assure you, however, that millions of Americans and their economic pain and anger are very real. Read what knowledgeable people are saying about you here:
"Immigration and Usurpation"
http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back706.html

People more and more understand your odd behavior. FYI.

What needs to be done is a listing of all House Bills and pro-amnesty efforts of ALL our representatives when their term is up for re-election. Their constituents need to know of their efforts to displace American workers. List this on billboards, in the newspapers, on radio. Get these anti-Americans OUT OF OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!

NumbersUSA Moderator: Scroll over "Congress" on the navigation bar and click on "My Members of Congress." From there, click on "Voting Records" to see every immigration action that Member of Congress has taken. Email that to your friends, pass them out during town hall meetings. Spread the word, the information is already available.

What will it take to awake.... we people of America... up to what is taking place in our government ? When-- will we begin to call for the heads of those that pretend to do our biding? [The Reed's,Feinstein's,Schumer's,Boxer's, Dodd's,Pelosi's, Frank's, etc.] of our goverment do not care what we think... WHEN ????? Robert Morris

Attempts to shut down anti-amnesty talk has begun earnest - in our area, a leading talk show host who spoke against illegal aliens & amnesty (albeit in a theatrical manner very antithetical to how numbersusa does it with facts and decency) has been taken off the air - most likely due to lobbying from pressure groups and Schumer's FCC influence. This will have a chilling effect on debate which will be forced to be all PC and run by open borders lobby.

Just sent this to my reps on the amnesty fax:

I'm really stunned that this can even be under discussion. Will you people not be satisfied until there is a spectacular social disruption? This year is very hard, and it's going to get harder for the next several years. You will not be able to amnesty these new Mexican voters for yourself, you will have to send them back home. I suggest you adopt that as your personal policy in these matters.

I suggest just ignore Gay of WI. Such posters are mostly plants and simply repeats talking points that combine words like - human, love, hate, racist, kids, even God - to form vacuous rhetorical statements to support full amnesty/open borders.

Presenting facts, policies, laws and debating with them is a waste as they will simply respond back angrily with a re-jumble of the same code words.

If this Amnesty passes, we will go through all this again in a few years at the rate illegals are trying to get in this country. I see more illegal immigrants on the corners looking for work that I have not seen before. Go to Wall Mart after 9:00 pm when most Americans have already done their shopping. Anyone who says the border is secure is blind and a lies like a lawyer

Dear Roy

When you talk about these Senators, and Reps, it would be very helpful if you gave their public e-mail addresses and phone numbers.

That way, even if we are not in their state, we can let them know we are aware of their actions and will hold them accountable.

NUMBERSUSA MODERATOR: You can see the contact info for all Members of Congress by rolling over the Congress drop down menu on the top menu bar and selecting "Contact Info for all of Congress."

Like many or most likely all of you I have been writing my three WA.state democrat senators along with reid And Pelosi protesting the amnesty bill. This is a little off of the amnesty path but recently WA state democrats posted an article in the newspaper lobbying congress to stop any increase in WA state border patrol agents. I wrote an editorial to the Peninsula Daily Newspaper here in Port Angeles, WA. argueing for more border patrol. The newspaper called me back wanting proof that every single statistic I mentioned in my editorial was factual. Unfortunately I was not prepared for this but after almost 10 minutes I finally got them to okay the editorial. This is the bias media at work. The facts they wanted verified were easily verified without calling me:
1. Almost 1.6 million immigrants were allowed into the US anually. Easily verified by the number of vias'a issued by immigration dept.
2. Estimates are that Between 750,000 and 1 million people illegally enter the US anually. Of course no one counts illegals entering the country but by the number intercepted entering the US, the border patrol estimates this number. I finally told him to check immigration counters.com
3. I stated that almost 14 million Americans were now unemployed. I thought everyone knew that? Easily checked with employment dept.
4. Then he tried to argue with my statement that 60% of Americans want our existing immigration laws enforced. That was easy and I told him to check recent Rasmussen polls.

It took 10 minutes of argueing with this fool before he agreed to publish my article supporting more border patrol. I must say I was quite happy with the end results but such is our fight with the pro amnesty crowd. If we all do our part and flood our senators, other legislators, and the President with phone calls and emails we just may win this fight. The only thing these legislators will understand is the fear of being voted out.

To Gay7917: Yes, I have thought about what it would be like if all illegal aliens, and their children because I would never split up a family, walked back across the border to their own country. There would be less traffic, no water shortage, no electricity rolling blackouts, NO GRAFFITI, no over-crowded emergency hospitals, lots more parking, no over-crowded school classrooms, did I mention NO GRAFFITI!!!
DUH!

To Gay7917
You are on the wrong site. Though it does "appear" calloused to you we are not calloused. I am 54 years old and was taught growing up how LUCKY I was to be born in the United States of America and to NEVER take it for granted. I believed it then and still do. I want my children and grandchildren to have their chance here, massive immigration(legal and illegal) will effectively destroy that. The 14th amendment needs to be abolished, term limits put on our representatives, and our LAWS enforced! It is nothing "personal" against people wanting a better life but I was also taught that EVERYONE wanted to be in America. It just isn't possible... for the USA to remain the USA with these outrageous numbers!!

My monies will continue to support Beck and NumbersUSA...informative, though not surprising article.

Donald of ID. I completely agree. Many people feel that for anyone who has lived illegally in this country for a few years it would be an inhuman hardship to live anywhere else. What amazing chauvinism and ignorance. The United States is still a wonderful place, but that doesn't make the rest of the world a hell hole. In terms of GDP per capita, the IMF ranks Mexico 57 out of 178 countries, and the U.S. only ranks 17. Internationally, Mexico is considered a middle income country, and according to The Economist (4/30/09), the unemployment rate in Mexico is 4.8%, versus 8.5% here. I guess their bankers are smarter than ours.

Ron6865 of OR I think your comments about submitting material for the record are important! Would it be possible for NumbersUSA or for individuals to submit material concerning the amnesty/DREAM Act proposal to be included in the record of the proceedings? If private citizens are permitted to submit documentation at these hearings, it would at least allow some important additional material that would be available for review if the legislation were to proceed would it not?

NumbersUSA Moderator: Unfortunately, material must be submitted by one of the Senators on the Committee, or one of their invited witnesses. Since we were not invited, we may not submit.

I was never able to get through to any of the Republican Senators and wanted to very badly!! I am a Republican and was reared in a conservative environment. When any issue of discuss was up for debate politically in our family all the facts were "measured" by the Constitution and the Amendments to that great document and also the Bill of Rights.

I so wanted to remind those Senators that they surely campaigned swearing alligance to those conservative principles and made promises that if their constituents voted for them they would uphold them and the Constitution.

Also in the early 1900's there was an immigration Rule that stated when the non-citizen parents went back to the country of their origin that any children born in the US while they were could return to the United States after age 18 years old and "claim" their natural born citizenship. They had five years to make that decision. If after age 23 they did not apply the Rule for them expired.

Never was there a Rule that said if you make it over the border and have your child in the US then the parents had automatic citizen status nor did it say you may bring all of your nuclear family into the country also.

Two comments from history:

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again." Ronald Reagan

Our government needs to be protecting our rights and privileges - Borders, Culture, and Language
