An interesting article from www.NumbersUSA.com about immigration amnesty threats. This follows this post about criminal illegal aliens being released by the president. REMEMBER, “Amnesty” means ANY non-enforcement of existing immigration laws! This follows this comment and this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! For more about what you can do click here and you can read two very interesting books HERE.
You can follow me at blogspot here and at twitter here https://twitter.com/brianleesblog. Please consider following both in case one goes down!
We are waging 3 battles, and we MUST win them all.
If we run out of support, we lose it all.

Dear Brian,
NumbersUSA has never lost an amnesty battle in Congress in 15 years. But this year, the open borders coalition is fighting us on three different fronts. We absolutely must win all three battles, or the largest Illegal Alien Amnesty in history could become law.
How would you feel personally about 12 million illegal aliens voting in our elections, collecting public benefits, and bringing millions more family members to America within a few short years? Disaster, right?
Our opponents in Big Business, Big Labor, Organized Religion, Elite Media, and just about every politician with a "For Sale" sign around his neck is working day and night to pass a total amnesty and DOUBLE legal immigration. Double disaster! The other side has spent around $2 BILLION since 2008 to force this amnesty down American throats. But with our modest budget and enormous people power, we've held them off.
But if we run out of ammunition ($$ for faxing, toll-free phone calling, Capitol Hill operations), we'll be defeated the next day. I hate to be so blunt, but it's quite true. If citizens like you don't help us financially now, a SUPER-SIZED Amnesty will probably pass this year.
Let me tell you the three battles we're fighting at once.
1) Amnesty tacked on to the Defense bill
Our opponents are desperately working to stick a get-out-of-jail-free amnesty on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The amnesty, known as the ENLIST Act, gives certain illegal aliens the right to join our military and a path to citizenship if they do. The proposed amnesty is outrageous enough on its own: at a time when our military is drastically scaling back its personnel and turning away highly qualified American recruits, Congress is seriously considering rewarding illegal aliens with citizenship if they take Americans' places in the military. Could any sane person really think that replacing our own soldiers with foreign citizens is good for national security?
Last week, after being deluged by messages from our members, the House Armed Services Committee REFUSED to add the military amnesty to the defense bill. GREAT!! Congratulations, members! This is a significant victory. HOWEVER, we can't rest a second. The House Rules Committee, chaired by Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), is considering allowing the military amendment to be offered when the bill hits the House floor. This would happen as early as NEXT WEEK. We must force the Rules Committee to hold its ground. If we don't succeed there, then we have to wage war to stop the amendment on the floor.
But that's not all! Simultaneously, Sen. Harry Reid is considering attaching the military amnesty to the defense bill on the Senate side. Our long-time opponent Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) is championing that effort. That decision will be made in the next two weeks. Then, the battle goes to the Senate floor. And even THAT isn't the end of it. Once the NDAA has been passed (in whatever form) by House and Senate, it would go to a House-Senate conference committee to add more goodies onto it. If one chamber attaches a military amnesty onto the underlying bill, the conference could ramp the amnesty way up--maybe even to resemble S.744, which triples life-time immigrant work permits over the first decade. Obviously, WE HAVE TO WIN THIS BATTLE!
Fortunately, our activists' early response has been strong. We've sent 700,000 faxes to Congress in the past few weeks. As the battlefront continues to expand, we need to send Congress two million or more faxes. We need all our members to clear their Action Boards, and keep a look-out for further alerts from us.
But this minute, what I need you to do is keep us equipped for battle. Without that, our hopes are dead.

The military amnesty is only the FIRST of THREE battles this year. Very briefly, here are the other two. They're both so scary they make my skin crawl.
2) The second battle will be an August Surprise.
House Speaker John Boehner told the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce this week in San Antonio that he is wanting to pass several small immigration bills this year if his GOP Representatives will let him. Republican House leader Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers said that House leaders want immigration legislation to pass by August. These bills will include an illegal alien amnesty and a huge hike in legal immigration. This would be a total disaster.
The only thing to stop the August surprise is you! NumbersUSA has legions of grassroots activists ready to swat the August Surprise down. But that only works if we have the money to pay for the millions of free faxes and the hundreds of thousands of free phone calls to Congress that probably will be required by year's end. Brian, need your financial support to stop it.
3) The third battle this year is the Lame Duck Disaster.
For me, this the scariest battle of all. News reports out yesterday quote top open borders business leaders Tom Donahue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Jay Timmons of the National Association of Manufacturers as saying that Boehner's secret plan is to hold a Lame Duck (after the election) session of Congress in December and push through the giant immigration-increasing bill (amnesty plus doubling of legal immigration) as the last bill of the Lame Duck Session!
Can you imagine? Since Boehner is now broadly hinting that this will be his last term as Speaker of the House, a Lame Duck Session would be the perfect time to plant the knife in America's back and saunter away into the twilight. Outrageous, YES!!
NumbersUSA is committed to stopping this, but YOU have to support us financially now. Remember, when we run out of ammo, we lose immediately.
Don't delay. Please, give right now.
