Freshman congressmen who failed July 4th test -- didn't challenge immigration status quo

In 2010, they ran as freshmen who would challenge the status quo -- but they've done nothing to stop immigration from harming jobless Americans

The 4th of July is about celebrating early Americans who refused to be satisfied with a status quo that they felt restricted their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.



Unfortunately, most of the huge crop of new Republican Members of Congress has done nothing to fight the immigration status quo that forces millions of Americans to be unemployed, struggling to support their families.



Oh, these freshmen were full of vim and vinegar when they were running to replace the stale congressional veterans in 2010. Jobs for Americans was supposedly going to be their "job No. 1" when they got to Congress.



Instead, they have stood by as the government issued permanent work permits to nearly 2 million more immigrants. And they have failed to support Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith in his effort to mandate E-Verify to open up jobs held by more than 7 million illegal aliens.



Look below the action box to see the list of flaccid politicians who have spent their freshman term allowing foreign workers (both legal and illegal) to be a higher priority of government that the unemployed in your state.


Fax your state's status quo freshmen


Urge them to push for House immigration votes to save jobs for unemployed Americans.



It is most important that these Congressmen and their staff know that the public sees them as protectors of the status quo, rather than as the agents of change they pretended to be when they first ran for office. But they still have a few weeks of Congress in session to pressure Speaker Boehner to bring immigration enforcement and reduction bills to the floor of the House for a vote to start putting more Americans back to work.

It isn't that these freshmen have done the opposite of what they promised in their campaigns. Most of them haven't voted against something they said they would support, for example.



But they haven't had a chance to vote because House Speaker Boehner has refused to bring any immigration bills to the floor (and even has barred nearly all immigration amendments).



These freshmen are hiding behind Boehner's lack of votes instead of challenging Boehner to stop protecting millions of illegal aliens and the outlaw employers who hire them. These freshmen have had ample opportunity to let Boehner know they oppose his preference for foreign workers over unemployed Americans. They could have been co-sponsoring all kinds of strong bills to help veteran House leaders as they have tried to break the Boehner logjam. Instead, these freshmen have been like the worst of embedded, status-quo, Washington-tainted political hacks and have just gone along to get along, instead of standing up for the jobless workers of your state.



Surely, these freshmen are better than that. Give them a chance to prove it.



THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR THESE FRESHMEN TO DECLARE SOME INDEPENDENCE AND HAPPINESS FOR THE JOBLESS CITIZENS OF YOUR STATE,
