U.S. territory hits 'amnesty' as threat

A U.S. territory in the Pacific is battling to stop Congress from imposing federal guest-worker rules and an "amnesty" for current temporary workers, saying aliens could then use the territory as an entry point to get into other places in the U.S.

The government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) says two bills working their way through Congress to impose federal immigration law on the territory would go back on the 1976 convention with the U.S. and put the islands' economy, already reeling, into a tailspin.

ALERT UPDATE: DREAM Act is dead for this session of Congress

On Oct. 24, the Senate failed to invoke cloture by a vote of 52-44 (60 votes were required to proceed). This means the DREAM Act is dead for this session of Congress. Thank you for your calls and letters!

Senate Wakes from DREAM and Votes Down Amnesty

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Eagle Forum, a leading
pro-family organization founded by Phyllis Schlafly, commends the U.S.
Senate today for defeating the cloture motion to proceed to S. 2205, the
Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, by a vote
of 52-44 (Roll Call 394). The bill would have granted amnesty to illegal
aliens who came to this country before the age of 16 and who have lived
here at least five years. This was the Senate's first attempt to grant
amnesty to millions of illegal aliens since the defeat of the
Kennedy-McCain-Kyl bill in June of this year. PRNewswire.com, 10-24-07

Dream Act Is Backdoor Amnesty

The American people rose up out of their usual apathy this year and soundly defeated the Bush-Kennedy-McCain-Kyl bill to give amnesty to illegal aliens. Now, some Senators are trying to get Congress to pass a backdoor amnesty by calling it the DREAM Act, and it's really a nightmare for Americans.

The cutesy title DREAM, which is meant to be a double entendre, is an acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (S.774).

A Sleeper Amnesty: Time to Wake Up from the DREAM Act

Just three months after the Senate immigration bill met its well-deserved end, amnesty advocates in the U.S. Congress resumed their efforts. Recently, Senator Richard Durbin (D–IL) announced on the Senate floor his intention to offer the Development, Relief, and Edu­cation for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act as an amend­ment to the defense authorization bill.

The DREAM Act (S. 774) is a nightmare. It is a mas­sive amnesty that extends to the millions of illegal aliens who entered the United States before the age of 16. The illegal alien who applies for this amnesty is immediately rewarded with "conditional" lawful per­manent resident (green card) status, which can be converted to a non-conditional green card in short order. The alien can then use his newly acquired status to seek green cards for the parents who brought him in illegally in the first place. In this way, it is also a back­door amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens who brought their children with them to the United States.

Amnesty for illegals back for another try

Amendments to defense funding bill subject of debate in Senate this week

President Bush's comprehensive immigration reform, defeated in June, will make a second appearance this week when the Senate takes up various pro-amnesty amendments submitted to the Department of Defense funding bill, H.R. 1585, which is scheduled for debate.

While not "comprehensive" reform, the latest initiative attempts to pass key provisions of the earlier immigration measure piece by piece by attaching amendments to unrelated bills, a process critics characterize as "stealth."

GOP resolution rejects amnesty for illegals

State Republican officials from across the country on Thursday will formally break with the desire of President Bush and other top Republican leaders to include amnesty and other benefits for illegal aliens in immigration-reform legislation.

So far, 47 members of the 168-member Republican National Committee have signed a resolution that unequivocally opposes the Bush-backed policy that would grant legal residency to millions of illegal aliens. Washington Times, 7-31-07.

Contrary to continuing media propaganda, the 2006 election and the killing of the Senate "comprehensive" immigration bill do NOT prove that anti-amnesty is a loser for Republicans. The Democrats who won in 2006 campaigned with Republican-rhetoric messages calling for border security, and they kept their promises in the decisive cloture vote on June 28.

Senate Blocks Immigration Bill

Jun 28 12:18 PM US/Eastern
By CHARLES BABINGTON
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate drove a stake Thursday through President Bush's plan to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants, likely postponing major action on immigration until after the 2008 elections.

The bill's supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to limit debate and clear the way for final passage of the legislation, which critics assailed as offering amnesty to illegal immigrants. The vote was 46 to 53 in favor of limiting the debate.

Senate Immigration Reform Bill Takes Step Toward the Grave

Thursday, June 28, 2007
By Major Garrett and Trish Turner at FoxNews.com

WASHINGTON — The fragile immigration reform bill crafted in the Senate faces sudden death Thursday when a second vote is scheduled to shut down a filibuster.

If supporters don't get the 60 votes they need to end debate, then the bill is dead since the Senate schedule does not allow any more time to revive the legislation.

THE GAME IS NOT OVER!

Tell Your Senators to vote NO on cloture on Thursday!!

On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate voted to revive the Kyl-Kennedy amnesty bill (S. 1639) and bring it back to the floor by a vote of 64-35 (Roll Call 228). Twenty-one Senators switched their votes from the previous cloture vote, held on June 7, which failed 45-50 (Roll Call 206). The "Traitorous 21" can no longer claim they oppose amnesty. Today they voted to bring it back from the dead. The only recourse they have is to vote against the second cloture motion (to end debate), which will take place Thursday.

ALERT: LEAVE THE AMNESTY IN THE GRAVE!

Reasons to Oppose Resurrecting the Amnesty Bill

1. This bill has already failed 3 cloture votes (Roll Call votes 203, 204, 206)
2. No Senator, to our knowledge, has reported receiving more calls or constituent contacts supporting the bill than those opposing it.
3. This bill has circumvented the legislative process by being negotiated behind closed doors, stifling debate, and setting up a rigged amendment process with a predetermined outcome.
4. No one—conservative or liberal—wants this bill. Conservatives oppose it across the board and now the AFL-CIO is against the bill, along with several Hispanic interest groups—Hispanic Federation and League of United Latin American Citizens (Washington Times, 6/21/07).

Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on cloture and leave the amnesty bill in its grave! Tell them Eagle Forum will be scoring this vote! A vote in favor of cloture will be scored as a vote for amnesty!

AMNESTY BILL RISES FROM THE DEAD!

Tell Your Senators to vote NO on proceeding to the amnesty bill!!

Just a few days after President Bush met with Republican Senators in a closed door meeting on Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced a deal to bring the Kyl-Kennedy amnesty bill back from the dead.

The Senate will vote this week on several procedural motions, including the “motion to proceed,” which determines if the Senate will bring back the amnesty bill for a vote. All Senators should vote NO on any attempt to resurrect the amnesty bill. Any vote to bring the bill back will be considered as a vote for amnesty!

As a part of the deal to bring the bill back up, Senate leaders agreed to a set of amendments to be considered. If the amendment does cut to the heart of the bill and attempt to improve it, they will defeat it. As Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) said, “the process is rigged.”

Quote of the Month

At a news conference aired by C-SPAN on June 8, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, without any qualification, in lamenting on the Senate defeat of the “comprehensive” immigration bill: “Senator Kennedy is a principled man.”

AMNESTY BILL IS COMING BACK!

Tell Your Senators to Oppose the Kyl-Kennedy Amnesty . . . period!!

Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, both Georgia Republicans, have asked President Bush to send a request to Congress for an emergency spending bill to fund enforcement mechanisms. Simply appropriating money is not enough.

We need enforcement of our current immigration laws for a prolonged period of time before we accept any next steps in the process.

Appropriating funding does not equal the will to fine employers, stop illegal aliens at the border, and immediately locate and deport all alien absconders. The remainder of President Bush’s term should be focused on ending the “unacceptable status quo” by enforcing our current laws.

Your calls are desperately needed!

Senators Unmoved by Bush Bid to Save Immigration Bill

By Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, June 13, 2007; Page A03

In a rare visit to Capitol Hill, President Bush pressed Republican senators yesterday to resurrect the compromise overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, but many of the senators instead demanded that his administration first show a more determined commitment to border security.

Independent Newspaper in Philadelphia Interviews Executive Director Jessica Echard on Immigration

The Evening Bulletin:

"I am not surprised by Bush, as this has been a priority for the president since January 2004," stated Jessica Echard, executive director of the conservative Eagle Forum.

"This is a heart issue for the president, and he sees his legacy hanging on the outcome of this debate," Echard added.

Echoing Echard's sentiments, Marcus Epstein, executive director for The American Cause, added that he was "disappointed" in the president's decision to revive his dying bill, adding, "It is clear that (Bush) truly believes immigration is his legacy, but it is a legacy that could destroy the Republican Party."

Both conservative activists believe that the president will not be able to win this fight and the political implications will not be determined by Bush's last-ditch attempt at a legacy, but rather on how Republican lawmakers react to pressures from the White House, big business, the Catholic Church, and other major institutions pushing for the Kennedy-McCain-Bush bill.

"It has taken a long time for conservatives to take a stand on this issue, and the political consequences will depend on how the GOP decides to tackle this issue," stated Epstein. "If the GOP becomes the party that stands up against amnesty, they will do well."

Resisting the pressures from the White House, though, may be tough for many GOP senators.

"The president does not like defeat, especially from the grassroots of his party," asserted Echard. The grassroots activist noted the political marriage between the president and the conservative movement has long been on the rocks, and if the president moves forward on this amnesty proposal, there may be grounds for divorce.
"Because the president is on his way out he no longer feels an allegiance to conservatives," stated Echard.

Noting Bush was not cut from the same conservative cloth as GOP icons Ronald Reagan or Barry Goldwater, Echard pointed out that "President Bush did not come from the conservative movement. He was not conservative on spending, education, and in this case, immigration."

"The president wasn't with us from the beginning and clearly the honeymoon is over," added Echard.

After a brief victory last Thursday, conservatives are now gearing up to make sure the Senate does not backtrack and revive this immigration bill.

In an alert issued yesterday, the Eagle Forum made their discontent with the president clear.

"Everyone got the message that this was a bad bill, except President Bush," stated the Eagle Forum alert. "In fact, it seems that the entire Bush administration is committed to ignoring the voice of the American people."

Now Republican senators have to decide whether they will follow an outgoing president or listen to the will of the people.

BIG VICTORY FOR GRASSROOTS!

Amnesty “Deal” Dies in the Senate, Victory for Grassroots Americans!

Washington, D.C.—Eagle Forum, a leading pro-family organization founded by Phyllis Schlafly, praises the tireless efforts of the American people in voicing their opposition to and successfully defeating S. 1348, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, better known as the Kyl-Kennedy amnesty bill. On June 7, after two weeks of debate, the Senate defeated cloture on the “grand bargain,” which was crafted behind closed doors by a handful of Senators and skipped the committee process.

“It became obvious that the longer the Senate debated the so-called comprehensive immigration bill, the more the grassroots opposition increased,” said Eagle Forum president Phyllis Schlafly.

“The United States Senate finally listened to the overwhelming opposition to this amnesty bill,” said Eagle Forum Executive Director Jessica Echard. “With calls running hundreds to one opposed, there was no question that we don’t want new laws. We simply want our immigration laws, which already exist, enforced.”

Eagle Forum organized a coalition of outside groups to oppose the bill, similar to the coalition used to successfully defeat the Harriet Miers nomination in 2005.

“This vote sends the message that the American people can still call the shots on how they are governed. The power of the White House, Big Business, cultural and religious elites was not enough to drown out the overwhelming public opposition to this bill. What a great day for grassroots America!” Echard stated.

Immigration Bill in Doubt After Vote

WASHINGTON (AP) - A fragile compromise that would legalize millions of unlawful immigrants risks coming unraveled after the Senate voted early Thursday to place a five-year limit on a program meant to provide U.S. employers with 200,000 temporary foreign workers annually.

The 49-48 vote came two weeks after the Senate, also by a one-vote margin, rejected the same amendment by Sen. Byron Dorgan. The North Dakota Democrat says immigrants take many jobs Americans could fill.

Calling Proposal an 'Amnesty' Rouses Foes, Confounds Backers

"Anything that allows illegal immigrants to stay and become legal is amnesty," said Jessica Echard, executive director of the Eagle Forum, a national conservative group.

Then we will see the illegal population shrink on its own." WashingtonPost.com, May 30, 2007

No Alien Left Behind

There’s nothing as permanent as temporary immigration status.

Our editors here at National Review Online pointed out last week that “It’s Worse Than You Think” with regard to the Senate’s preposterous amnesty bill. They were addressing specifically the fact that the Senate bill would immediately give probationary amnesty to virtually all illegal aliens, and that the much-touted enforcement “triggers” are therefore a sham, since legalization will already have taken place. What’s more, if the benchmarks (more miles of fencing, additional border-patrol agents, etc.) are not met, the probationary status would likely continue indefinitely, since there is no expiration date in the bill.

APPARENTLY, my position on immigration is that we must deport all 12 million illegal aliens immediately, inasmuch as this is billed as the only alternative to immediate amnesty.

Eagle Forum Poll: Public Wants Illegals to Go Home

WASHINGTON, May 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New polling shows a strong preference for enforcing U.S. Immigration laws that cause illegal aliens to go home. Advocacy groups and even some media outlets have released surveys showing support for legalizing illegals. However, those polls often gave voters a very limited choice between large-scale deportations or "earned legalization," or simply asked about conditional legalization without any alternative. When given the across-the-board enforcement option, with the goal of causing illegals to go home, the public strongly favors the enforcement approach over legalization
