Immigration enforcement group rips Rubio over Dream Act alternative

NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for tough laws against illegal immigration, has started a letter campaign aimed at Rubio and his fellow Republican senators warning them not to proceed.”Fellow Republicans value law and order and I’m sure you understand this. Why, then, are you planning to introduce a DREAM Act amnesty with? Aren’t there enough unemployed Americans for your liking?” reads a letter obtained by the Buzz. “Your fellow Republicans will make our voices heard if you support or propose any piece of amnesty or “legalization” legislation (just as we did in 2007). The majority of Republicans, and the majority of Americans, oppose any amnesty for illegal aliens and you should not be supporting one, let alone proposing one.”Another letter reads: “I was dismayed to learn that you working on a DREAM Act amnesty. Please stop working on it because the votes the Republican Party gains will not be worth the jobs American workers lose. I understand that many of the illegal aliens you are trying to amnesty have compelling cases.  But an amnesty for them would be a great injustice to unemployed Americans unless it includes an end to all chain migration for future immigrant workers and a full implementation of a mandatory national E-Verify system to keep parents from getting jobs and raising their children illegally in this country in the future.”Some letters target other Republican senators: “I see Sen. Rubio really meant it when he said he wasn’t interested in the VP slot. Republicans will never be energized by a pro-amnesty VP candidate. Please tell him to drop his plans to introduce the DREAM Act amnesty! … Please talk to Sen. Rubio and tell him that his amnesty plans are nonsense and can only harm Republicans this November.” http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/immigration-enforcement-group-rips-rubio-over-dream-act-alternative?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+tampabaycom%2Fblogs%2Fbuzz+%28The+Buzz+%7C+tampabay.com%29By Alex Leary in Tampa Bay Times
