I Remember
Time to Act: Stop Amnesty
This post will remain at the top all day. Please scroll down for updates and new posts.
Give your Senators a last chance to not blow it today on amnesty votes.
PHONE YOUR 2 SENATORS AND TELL THEM THAT A VOTE FOR THE JUDICIARY BILL ON THE SENATE FLOOR WILL SADDLE THEM WITH A GIANT AMNESTY RECORD THE REST OF THEIR CAREERS.
What happens later today is anybody's guess, but many are guessing that the Kennedy/Specter Judiciary bill (with amnesty and 30 million more permanent immigrants the next decade) will come up for a first vote today. The idea will be to add it as an amendment to Majority Leader Frist's less damaging immigration bill. (We also oppose Frist's bill because its enforcement provisions are tied to doubling annual legal immigration.)
ALL PHONE NUMBERS FOR YOUR TWO SENATORS ARE HERE.
Very clearly state your objection to nearly everything about the Judiciary Committee bill and urge that the Senator vote NO on it.
Your phone calls the last two days helped postpone debate until Wednesday evening and helped postpone votes until later today. Nearly all delay will tend to help our side.
These Senators' most vulnerable point is to accuse them of supporting a blanket amnesty. None of them will own up to that even if they support the Judiciary bill that would legalize 12-20 million illegal aliens, let them stay here forever and put them on a path to U.S. citizenship.
Just keep making the amnesty explanation and charge.
If you prefer, you can send faxes here. (FREE FAXES---super easy)

U.S. HOUSE MEMBERS WILL CHALLENGE SENATORS TODAY
**MEDIA ADVISORY**
Tancredo, More than 20 House Members to Tell Senate: No Amnesty
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Chairman of the 94-member House Immigration Reform Caucus and nationally-recognized leader of immigration reform, will join more than 20 House Members to tell the Senate that their current immigration proposals which include amnesty are unacceptable and will not pass the House.
Expected to join Tancredo are Reps. Beauprez, Brown-Waite, Campbell, Cubin, Culberson, Deal, Trent Franks, Gingrey, Goode, Hayworth, Istook, Walter Jones, Steve King, Kingston, McHenry, Pence, Tom Price, Rohrabacher, and Dave Weldon.

The MSM loves to talk about "undocumented workers." We all know that is MSM code for "illegal aliens." Michelle Malkin shows us the documents of undocumented workers (go see all the fake ids). She was also on Fox & Friends (video) this morning, talking about illegal immigration.
Immigration Myths debunked via the Corner (Great stuff!) And also how La Raza doesn't like patriotism and traditional american values language, of the kind Senator Alexander was talking about on the floor of the Senate (use the link to read it).
A USA Today article gives illegally crossing the border a "bravery in the face of danger" sort of spin. La di da. Still illegal. Still wrong.
No surprise that Mexican "president" Vincente Fox is backing George W. on the whole immigration thing. He loves having all that illegally-earned money coming back to Mexico. He doesn't have to work on Mexico's economy. And G.W. doesn't see the forest for the trees!
At Musing Minds, Kimsch reminds us of how the US Flag is to be treated. This sort of thing is absolutely improper.
Update: Kimsch now has a transcript of an exchange on Neil Cavuto's show. David Asman was guest-hosting. The segment featured a born-in-the-US-"Hispanic" (Maria Elena Salianas) who sees nothing wrong with amnesty, and a Mexican-born lady who LEGALLY immigrated to the United States (Claudia Spencer). Here is some of what Claudia Spencer had to say:
Church and State has the story of a Mexican flag flying in West Palm Beach.

Asman: Claudia, first to you. Now, you immigrated legally from Mexico, you went through the whole process. Is the guest worker program fair to those people who came here legally?Read the rest here.
Spencer: It is not fair at all. But most of all it is not fair to people who were born in this country.
Asman: Why not?
Spencer: It is not fair because people come here illegally are breaking the laws. And nobody that breaks the law deserves to be in this country and be granted with amnesty
