Call your Senators and Congresspersons

@ 03:01 PM (6 months, 22 days ago)

As requested by Riff, I'll put up a couple of links to find your representatives.

Senators

Congress

CALL, WRITE, and tell them NICELY, that you oppose the Feinstein/Craig amendment to legalize illegal aliens and any other "guest worker" scam.

Here's more on the story.

For instance, Congress including in the domestic-programs amendment a provision that would help pave the way for undocumented agriculture workers to win legal status, an amendment that could reopen Congress’ rancorous debate over immigration policy.

The supporters of the so-called Ag-Jobs measure, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Larry Craig (R-Idaho), say the five-year program is needed to keep farms operating and crops growing. The provision was added by a 17-12 vote.

But critics say that it amounts to amnesty for people who entered the country illegally, and warn that it could imperil support for the underlying bill.

Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a conservative Democrat who voted against the Feinstein-Craig amendment, said it raises a “red flag.”

He said he would wait until he sees the final product before determining whether to support the bill.

Other immigration measures were added as well, including one by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), who sought a three-year extension on a returning worker provision under H-2B visas, which she said was necessary to save seasonal businesses like seafood companies. That amendment has the support of Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.).

“It could be the end of crab meat,” she warned if the amendment were to be rejected. It was added to the Iraq-funding portion of the bill.

Okay, my guys just heard from me.

  1. Writing and calling these traitors is a waste of time. It won't change anything. It literally makes zero difference what we do - THEY have an agenda and they're gonna push us toward it no matter what.
