Call the Senate NOW!

by John Young Some Senators are either so beholden to special interests or so pathologically hateful of our folk that they are planning to attach the Amnesty bill to a Defense Authorization bill early next week. They are planning to attach three amendments: (1) The “Dream Act” Amnesty. This would give as many as 20 million illegal aliens instant legal status, plus give them preferences for in-state tuition rates, federal student loans and a host of other benefits at the expense of both U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. (2) “SKIL Act” Provisions. This would nearly double the H-1B Visas issued within the next year, and triple them a year from that. In addition, employers would have more flexibility to pay lower wages to H-1B “temporary” workers and even more H-1B workers would be exempted from caps altogether. (3) Expansion of H-2B Visas These are non-agricultural seasonal “temporary” worker visas for unskilled labor. Expansion of this program is insane because we already have a surplus of unskilled workers on welfare and another 12 million+ unemployed. Call the Senate TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and tell your Senators NO on these amendments!
