TODAY: Fax Merkley Wyden For Voting For Obama's Amnesty

AMNESTY WATCH  TUE MAR 3   TODAY: Fax your Representative about Congress protecting Pres. Obama's unconstitutional amnesties, forcing struggling American workers to compete with millions of illegal aliens for jobs, and weakening national security

Friends, Just a few hours ago, Congress gave the green light to Pres. Obama's unconstitutional amnesties through September, although 7 in 10 Republicans voted against the measure. But with unanimous support from Democrats, the Senate-passed DHS funding bill passed through the House and now moves to Pres. Obama's desk for his signature. While today's news is disappointing, there is a small victory in the fact that 167 House Republicans stood strong against Obama's amnesties. Many of those Republicans spoke on the House floor before the vote, using many of the talking points you've used over the last several months. Unfortunately, that's a small consolation for the struggling American workers who can't find a full-time job or who suffer from stagnant wages and may now have to compete against illegal aliens for their next job. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) pledged to continue the fight on their behalf shortly after the House vote. "Those who think this fight is over could not be more mistaken ... The will of the American people cannot be forever denied. Republicans will have to come to realize that it falls on their shoulders to give voice to the just demands of the American people for a lawful system of immigration that serves their interests, defends their jobs, protects their security." -- Sen. Jeff Sessions We stand with Senator Sessions and will continue to look for ways to derail the president's actions without having to solely rely on the courts. In the meantime, we ask you to take one final action in this DHS funding battle by sending a fax to your U.S. Representative in response to today's vote.NOT JUST STRUGGLING AMERICANS AT RISK Supporters, from both sides of the aisle, used national security as a reason to end the fight over Obama's amnesties and to provide long-term funding to DHS. But Kenneth Palinkas, who represents the USCIS officers that will be tasked with implementing Obama's amnesties, has said that the president's actions will actually weaken national security. Our current immigration system leaves us vulnerable to terrorist threats and terrorism in general by providing entry avenues for people sworn to destroy America. This is accomplished by lessening the vetting of each and every alien who applies for permanent residency or citizenship in the U.S. By not scrutinizing each and every applicant to the fullest extent possible to ensure America's security, we invite an even more catastrophic event then what occurred on 09/11/2001. ... We must not govern based on politically correct cliche about relaxed immigration that only serve to weaken the country. -- Kenneth Palinkas Once again, thank you for your constant pressure on Congress for the last four months. We may not have come out on top in this particular fight, but we'll continue to provide a voice for struggling American families and fight for the rule of law! Thanks! CHRIS CHMIELENSKI TUE, MAR 3rd
