I have personally taken the time to send e-mails to EVERY one of these organizations to express my disappointment in their stance. I suggest everyone do the same. Only if we send millions of faxes to these organizations will they think twice about continuing on with their misguided policies. Of course, the restaurant and farm worker industries will probably just laugh at out e-mails, because we all know they WANT more illegals to get the cheap labor. SEND YOUR FAXES TODAY! It only took me about 45 minutes to hit ALL these e-mail addresses.

AMERICA in order to stop this make it known,"NO MORE MONEY IN DUES OR BUSINESS UNTIL THEY START SUPPORTING AMERICAN WORKS". You must fight where it hurts them "MONEY".

While it is true that it is not only the direct employment of illegal aliens that is affecting the US economy so negatively, this factor is a huge one. Personally, I am frustrated by what appears in my state to be a laid back approach to the employment of illegal aliens: I have reported to ICE one particular employer who regularly employs illegals (and has for several years) twice within the past 6 months as well as an individual illegal alien who is employed as a bricklayer locally. I have provided details about these individuals that make it easy for them to be located at any hour of the day and nothing has been done to stop either of them. Although the agents with whom I have spoken are very encouraging and grateful for the information I provide, I feel as though I am missing something when I call ICE because there are no results.

This makes me wonder if it is just those of us at the grassroots level that care. My husband has been unemployed for more than 9 months; two of my sons lost their jobs within the past 6 months; I was unemployed for 7 months--we all had applied for blue collar as well as white collar jobs (that we are educated and qualified to hold). All I could find was a part-time, seasonal job; I have taken it, of course, but I found that several of the positions that I applied for have been given to those who will accept the least amount of pay--in large part, the illegal population in our nation.

I continue to write letters, send faxes, and make calls as well as to encourage others in my community to do the same. I won't stop, but I can't help feeling that there should be some tangible results occurring.

They are exploring more stimulus, more spending, more everything EXCEPT the simplest solution of all == Less Total Immigration.

After all these years, I am still fighting with ignorance in the so-called intelligent citizens organizations. They must be sitting on their brains! Now with Lou Dobbs no longer on CNN, we will never know the truth!

I am absolutely and totally against ILLEGAL immigration, but I'm all for LEGAL immigration that is done under very controlled, strict guidelines, that takes into consideration such factors as the economic impact on the areas of our country that immigrants come to. ALL immigrants should be required to learn our language -ENGLISH-,which would greatly UNIFY our country and not DIVERSIFY our country! All immigrants should be required to learn our Consitution and our laws and and our customs and traditions and swear allegience to same! There should be NO jobs available for illiegal aliens, so that ALL immigrants who work will pay taxes, just like the rest of us. There should be absolutely NO free education or free medical care or free ANYTHING for illegals!! And there should certainly be NO automatic citizenship granted to children born in the USA to ILLEGAL immigrants! Furthermore, there should be very severe penalties for entering our country illegally! There should also be a high, double fence all along our entire northern and southern borders. Also, there should be NO MORE "sanctuary cities" to harbor illegals. What ever happened to the rule of law?!

I'm not surprised by the unions. I was an officier of a local labor union for nine years and it took me until this election year to personally witness the corruption within these unions. They are there partially to defend workers but their main intentions is to drain these very workers of union dues to grease palms of politicians. The organizations that surprise me are the churches and I will never visit or contribute to any of them. How could our American churches turned on American workers????

I quit the Catholic Church two years ago over this! Not one thin dime to them since then!
The last time Bush tried "amnesty" we broke the senate phone system and I called Sen. Sununu's office in New Hampshire and the staffer told me that the phone calls were running, "80 to 1 against."
It was the same at Sen. John Kerry's office in Boston. Kennedy's office told me; "no comment!"
If they try that again it is going to be an out and out *insult* to the American People!
If they do try it I'd love to see people protesting outside their senators' and congressmen's district offices with pitchforks and torches!
I'll vote against any senator or congressman who even *thinks* about voting for such a thing, democrat, republican or independant!
They used to call such things "political suicide" back in the day.

Just sent to the Methodist Church!

"I give up my lifelong association with the Methodist Church. I can/will no longer support a group that has put business above their own membership. Are your donations down? Is attendance down? WHO are you supporting? If you continue to put ILLEGAL ALIENS above hard working (and more and more, unemployed) AMERICANS and LEGAL residents, then you will continue to see more and more people leaving/denouncing the Methodist Church. You think we think you are just concerned about a bunch of people having a ‘hard time’ in a new country? NO..we think you see dollar marks in their eyes…well..WE have the dollars..THEY are taking them..along with our jobs, our social security numbers, our tax dollars, and many times our lives.

WISE UP before you ruin this country for ever!!"

Most of these organizations could be brought to their knees if the members would just speak up. As a retired Air Force Veteran and a retired teacher, I find it apalling that the very union thyat is supposed to be looking out for the worker is underminin g his ability to find work.

Most of the illegals in my area are from Catholic backgrounds and send most of their money back to their homeland. The church sees little if any of that money and the community pays the bill.

I encourage you to speak up and withdraw memberships in these organizations. I did when I was teaching. Let's bring these organizations to their knees!

I am one of these persons who agree that we need to improve our immigration policies. We do need to make a comprehensive reform of our immigration policies. But no such reform will have any effect unless we accomplish these things:

1 - We must stop the illegal immigration. This has been so obvious to nearly everyone--except those in Congress. We must complete the fence along the southern border.

2 - We must find a way to remove those who are here illegally so that there will be jobs for those who live here as well as the legal immigrants who want to come here. Obviously, we have no practical way to "round them up", but there are ways to address this which would work if we only had the will.

3 - THEN we need to find a way to initiate and maintain a guest worker program so that those who come here for seasonal work can have a legal way to do so.

Currently, the idea of comprehensive immigration reform has been translated to amnesty for those who are here and opening the flood gates to anyone who wants to come--just forget about the application process. Just open up the borders. Yeh! Right!

I wonder if those who are pushing for comprehensive reform, particularly the churches, are more concerned about stopping the loss of life related to those who, for example, die while crossing the deserts. This is noble, by the way, but I agree that we must control our borders before we have a chance to do anything else. Just a thought.

Congress, are you listening??? I doubt it.

I just sent the whole list this e-mail:

( American Flag inserted) HIRE AMERICANS!!!

What I find extremely interesting (besides Christian organizations supporting this disaster) is that the unions are also supporting this. The union is suppose to protect its members and this is "not" how to do it. This will lower their membership because once the members find out that their union "actually put them out of work", they will not be happy. As far as the churches are concerned, a young lady Valerie made a very interesting post, she contacted a couple of the churches and asked why they would support something that will actually harm the members of their congregation? If the members lose their jobs they are harmed. What would the pastor say to the people on Sunday, sorry you lost your jobs, but at least another family that doesn't live here will be taken care of? I wonder what he preached when people quit giving because they have no money, because he helped them lose their job. Which means, that the membership falls dramatically to the point that the church itself closes its doors and he is himself "out of a job." Ironic, isn't it.

Christians for illegals should read Romans 13.

Now is the time to take action with your Senators to stop this health care bill that gives health care amnesty to millions of illegal. And also sent them THIS when your fax or email them to send a message and the facts.

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.. We adopted this motto because men and women with a fundamental belief in God founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where
you came from.

This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

It is Time for America to Speak up!
