DEAR AMNESTY OPPONENTS,

An interesting post from www.NumbersUSA.com about the Dream Act CLOTURE! This follows this previous post about  the DREAM ACT and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here.

DEAR AMNESTY OPPONENTS,







Here Are Today's (THURS) Target Lists For Phoning


(Includes Direct Phone Numbers For DC & Local Offices)




It seems possible that the Senate could vote on the DREAM Act amnesty as early as Sunday (Majority Leader Reid is keeping Senators in session all weekend.) You will be unlikely to get a phone answered on the weekend, so you need to voice your opinion today.



These Senators Lean Strongly YES On Amnesty

But Will Have To Face Voters In 2012



Friends, this is a mostly new target list. Can we really hammer these phones today?



A Newsweek blog now notes that Sen. Reid's dragging out the amnesty vote may be starting to endanger several Senators in his Party who are more and more dreading having to run for re-election in 2012 with a recent amnesty vote on their record.



This first list is entirely of Democratic Senators who must run for re-election in 2012 in competitive states. In other words, each of them knows he/she could lose (especially after what just happened in the elections last month).



All you have to do is dislodge one or two of these from voting YES and I think you would guarantee amnesty defeat. (Or you may pressure them enough that they will beg Sen. Reid to just not hold the vote.)



Here is some starter language for you on the phone calls (in addition to key points listed at the bottom of this email):

Sen. xmxmx is going to have a rough time campaigning in 2012 with a record of voting for this DREAM Act amnesty while 22 million Americans can't find a job.





Everybody is going to know that Sen. xmxmx's amnesty vote forced our unemployed Americans to compete with millions more foreign-born workers without doing a single thing to increase enforcement to stop millions more illegal aliens from coming here and taking jobs.





Sen. xmxmxm is backing the wrong DREAM Act. The Senator wants to help young adults who presumably were brought here illegally as children and now find themselves many years later in tough situation.



But what caused that? The cause was that our government allowed their parents to illegally take a job from an American worker and then to illegally keep that job for years and years.



THIS DREAM Act amnesty does nothing to keep that from happening again and again forever.



Vote NO on this DREAM amnesty and come back and work on a DREAM that will stop all parents in the future from putting their kids in this situation by living and working here illegally for years at a time.

Yes, adding extra calls to all the local offices can really help sow doubt and concern within a Senator's organization.

Most Senate Offices Are Unaware Of The Millions Of 10-Year Work Permits That DREAM Offers To Illegal Aliens



1. Application: The DREAM amnesty begins with illegal aliens filling out applications. They merely have to claim -- not provide evidence -- that they meet criteria of having been brought to the U.S. before age 16 and being under the age of 30 at time of enactment and being present in the U.S. at least 5 years before enactment of the amnesty, among other criteria.



2. Work Permits Given: Once they allege these minimal criteria, the illegal aliens are given "conditional lawful permanent resident status" and are given a 10-year work permit to compete directly with the 22 million Americans who want a full-time job but can't find one.



Estimates suggest that up to 2 million illegal aliens could legitimately qualify for the opening application, and perhaps a couple million more might be or look young enough to fraudulently apply.



Those millions would immediately be able to legally compete for any U.S. job.



3. Ten Years of Work Before Education Required: Despite all the talk about how this amnesty is just for people who go to college or serve in the military, the illegal aliens don't have to do much of anything in that regard to have the legal right to work for 10 years.



Everybody who applies and gets the work permits has 10 years to complete two years of college or two years of military. Ten Years!



By the way, despite the fact that some media outlets have taken to referring to the potential recipients of the amnesty as "the best and the brightest" and "stars," illegal aliens can get the 10-year work permit merely by completing a GED and enrolling in a single course in a community college or trade school.



4. When 10 Years Are Up, What's The Chance of Anybody Being Asked to Leave? At the end of 10 years, illegal aliens who have not compiled two years of college or military would finally lose the right to compete legally with unemployed Americans for a job.



But they also would have sunk 10 more years of roots into their communities, building up an even bigger claim that it would be a hardship to be forced to leave this country. In addition, their advocates in the open-borders groups can say that they aren't really illegal aliens since they have just spent 10 years living and working as legal residents.



Fortunately for them, the DREAM amnesty allows those who fail to meet any of the criteria after 10 years to file a claim of hardship. The US Citizenship & Immigration Services agency is given the right to issue waivers and allow these illegal aliens to stay. By the way, they can get a waiver if the hardship is to them, or if it would be to a spouse, one of their children or one of their parents.



In the end, it is not only the 2 million potential qualified opening applicants but millions of potential fraudulant applicants who will get 10 years of legal competition against unemployed Americans. The only way the frauds can lose their work permit is if the government brings individualized cases to prove that they lied on the applications. Want to guess how many of the millions of fraud cases the government would have time to investigate and prosecute -- one by one?



Are any of the pro-DREAM amnesty supporters thinking about that?



Aside from all the issues of rewarding or encouraging law-breaking, there is the question about why this Lame Duck Congress at this time of 9.8% unemployment would feel the need to greatly increase the job competition for unemployed Americans.
