Immigration - October 2007

The votes came in 2 hours ago. We won. The Dream Act is dead, moot, at least for now.

The Senate voted against further debate on the DREAM act this afternoon by a final tally of 52-44, less than the 60 votes needed to end debate.VICTORY ONCE AGAIN!

several friends have told me that no matter how much we (i.e. colored skin people) contribute to American society, or if we become citizens or our kids grow up here, we will never be considered as first-class citizens.

And when someone asks me where I am from & if I tell them I'm an American - then people will think I'm stupid, because apparently I'm supposed to say I'm an Asian American or an Indian American.

Is that true or false?

Key Amnesty Vote tomorrow. Forward to friends.


Cindy,

Harry Reid has scheduled a cloture vote on the Dream Amnesty
Act for TOMORROW (Wednesday).

This comes after citizens like you again shut down switchboards
in opposition to the Dream Act when it was pushed as an
amendment last week.

Now, Durbin and Reid are pushing the Dream Amnesty Act
straight to the Senate floor as a stand-alone bill --
S. 2205 -- despite overwhelming grassroots opposition!

But to rush the bill directly to the floor, they must pass
a "cloture" vote first.

Cindy, we simply must stop this latest effort to sneak
an amnesty bill through the Senate. These are the same tricks
Reid tried to use this summer to pass the Bush-Kennedy bill.

+ + Action Item #1 -- Fax Reid, Durbin and your senators

We need thousands of faxes immediately headed to Reid's office,
Durbin's office, your two Senators and other key senators.

Go here to schedule your faxes:

http://www.grassfire.org/22042/offer.asp?rid=12032496

(As always, we have posted sample letters and the fax numbers
if you prefer to send your own faxes.)

+ + Action Item #2 -- Call, Call, Call!

We simply must shut down the switchboards today and tomorrow.
Every Senator needs to get thousands of calls. Please call your
two Senators today and tomorrow, as well as these key senators:

Sen. Hatch 202-224-5251
Sen. Bennett 202-224-5444

Key Senators:
Durbin (Asst. Maj. Leader) -- 202-224-2152
Reid (Maj. Leader)-- 202-224-3542
Shelby (AL)-- 202-224-5744
Hagel (co-sponsor) 202-224-4224
Lugar (co-sponsor) 202-224-4814
Brownback (KS) 202-224-6521
Grassley (IA) 202-224-3744
Lott (MS) 202-224-6253
Cochran (MS) 202-224-5054
Hutchison (TX) 202-224-5922
Byrd (WV) 202-224-3954


Our staff has compiled a list of all the Senators who
currently have "no position" on this bill. Go here:

http://www.firesociety.com/blog/107/17693/?src=111


+ + Talking Points

1. I oppose the DREAM Act because it provides amnesty
to illegal aliens and their families.

2. I urge the Senator to vote "NO" on cloture for S. 2205. This
amnesty bill should not be brought to the Senate floor.

3. A "yes" vote on cloture will be considered a "yes" vote
for amnesty.

We simply cannot allow Reid and Durbin to sneak this bill
through the Senate. Thanks for your immediate action.


Steve Elliott, President

Hey I'm have to put together an argument against illegal immigration for my speech class. I'm doing alot of research, but I want to get your take on it.

This one was puzzling. A while ago I decided that they couldn't really want it to pass, because if they did they wouldn't spring text in the dark of night the day before a vote, avoid committee review (it has never even made it out of committee as a stand alone bill) and would have made the actual text say what they pretend it does in all the news stories, rather than create a web of waivers, fraud and future incentives.

Am I the only one who thinks the Republicans aren't the only ones interested in keeping this as an election issue?

What do you think?

Are the politicians finally getting it that 85% or more do not want any amnesty or will we have to fight them every other month?

I will vote out any and all open borders politicians.

S 2205 FAILED Cloture with only 52 Aye votes of the required 60 to pass.

Are they actually listening to their constituents?

Your thoughts?

I am an American living in Europe and my fiance is from Japan. When I go back to the USA, we would like to get married, but I cannot file a fiance visa through the US Embassy. Do I have any other options other then waiting until I get back to the USA to start the K1 Visa? Because of my job, getting married first and trying to file an immigration visa causes complications.

One idea I had was having my father with a power of attorney file it for me. Is that possible?

To become a state of the United States of America, the people of the state have to vote overwhelmingly in favor of doing so. a simple majority is not enough.

California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, etc. All voted in favor of joining the United States as a State instead of as a territory.

This is after we PURCHASED this land, fair and square.

So tell me, how is the SW USA part of Mexico?

they were a failure in Mexico of course giving all kinds of excuses, corrupt goverment being the big one. the people are the government. Americans worked hard for our success and no one gave us anything especially Mexcio. They gave us their tired and poor alright but we did not want their criminals and free loaders.

Today's news says 2 jails have been converted to "special" jails; They have translator services and special food and requirements for very high level foreign criminals. (Low level foreign criminals are not in jail and those with recently given UK passports are not considered foreign).But what is it costing us? and should it be deducted from the "benefits" of mass immigration? Thay are supposed to be awaiting deportation but in the past this never happened.

Hi

I have a job offer in australia and am in the process of getting the sponsorship visa sorted. It may well be the case that the visa is granted a couple of weeks after I plan to arrive in sydney. My question is, will I be allowed in australia on a non return flight if my working visa isn't finalised??
