Have a cell phone?

Imagine sitting in your chair one late afternoon. All of a sudden your phone receives a text message from NumbersUSA, indicating that the Senate has attached an Amnesty rider to a must pass bill. The text indicates that you can reply "OK" to receive talking points and a phone number. After replying you receive a follow up text and dial the number (or simply touch the number for those of you with smart phones), connect with your representative’s office, and demand that the Amnesty rider be removed from the bill.

Crisis averted.

A newsletter I subscribe to sent out an alert last week entitled "Evangelical Leaders Unite on Just Assimilation Immigration Policy." With heightened interest I began reading about how the law in Arizona is a response to the federal government's failure, that we need a rational immigration policy, that we are a nation of laws, and that we needed a solution that is neither amnesty nor mass deportation. I was excited because this is what I believe, until I realized that it was just a trial balloon for an alternative to the word Amnesty: Assimilation Immigration.
