Illegal Protest

From ProEnglish.org!

The DREAM Act which would have given amnesty to as many as 2.1 million illegal aliens and added enormously to the demand for multilingual government services failed today. The Senate vote to end debate (cloture) and proceed with the bill required 60 votes to pass. But the vote was 52 to 44, eight votes short of the 60 needed.

Thank you to everyone who sent emails and/or made calls to help block this very bad piece of legislation.

Cloture Vote On DREAM Act Amnesty Fails

(October 24) The Senate failed to obtain cloture on the DREAM Act amnesty (S. 2205) earlier this afternoon by a 52-44 vote, for which 60 YES votes were needed to prevent a filibuster. At this time, leadership from both parties are meeting to discuss further proceedings. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) were attempting to bring this nightmarish amnesty bill to the floor under Senate Rule XIV without it ever having been debated in committee. Earlier this morning, the Bush Administration issued a statement opposing the DREAM Act …

Apparently, the Bush Administration has issued a statement that they are against the Dream Act.. imagine that!  Are they finally getting the message or are they trying to tell us what we want to hear?

Excerpt of Whitehouse statement:

The Administration continues to believe that the Nation’s broken immigration system requires comprehensive reform. This reform should include strong border and interior enforcement, a temporary worker program, a program to bring the millions of undocumented aliens out of the shadows without amnesty and without animosity, and assistance that helps newcomers assimilate into American society. Unless it provides additional authorities in all of these areas, Congress will do little more than perpetuate the unfortunate status quo.
The Administration is sympathetic to the position of young people who were brought here illegally as children and have come to know the United States as home. Any resolution of their status, however, must be careful not to provide incentives for recurrence of the illegal conduct that has brought the Nation to this point. By creating a special path to citizenship that is unavailable to other prospective immigrants—including young people whose parents respected the Nation’s immigration laws—S. 2205 falls short. The Administration therefore opposes the bill.

Amnesty crowd hopes to wear us down … Can you prove them wrong again this week?

Senate Majority Leader Indicates He May Bring Stand-Alone DREAM Amnesty To Vote Later This Week

Here is the scariest news yet:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has invoked Rule 14 on the new stand-alone DREAM Act amnesty!

That means he is setting up Senate procedure to spring the amnesty at any time without hearings or committee action. For the Majority Leader to invoke Rule 14 means that he can bring a bill to a floor without it going through the debate and markup of a committee.

Rosemary Jenks, our NumbersUSA Director of Government Relations, says, “Generally when Rule 14 is invoked, it means the leadership intends to have a vote on the bill in fairly short order.”

Under the rule, the amnesty bill (S. 2205) can be brought up as early as Tuesday.

The rule also allows Sen. Reid to wait until our forces are distracted and bring it at any time in the future at the spur of the moment.

So, we need all of you hitting up your Senators’ offices all over again starting Monday with phone calls and faxes.

Besides Reid, the chief culprits in this mess are Senate Assistant Majority Leader Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Hagel (R-Neb.) and Sen. Lugar (R-Ind.). I hope you will feel free from anywhere in the country to let these four Senators know how you feel about their aggressive leadership to pass this amnesty.

1. A key thing to say to your two Senators:

S. 2205, the stand-alone version of the DREAM Act, has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under Rule 14 because the Leadership knows that if the bill is out there long enough to go through the normal committee process, Americans will have a chance to express their overwhelming opposition to it and it will fail.

2. A second point to make:

This underhanded attempt to bypass the process and shove this through before the public catches on is shameful and must not be allowed to work.

3. Tell everybody, “NO amnesty!”

Then, if you want to and have time, make a couple of specific points about the DREAM Act that you can find on our website or on Phone Notes on your Action Buffet corkboard.

Our Action Board Team will be providing modified fax and phone action notes first thing Monday morning.

PRO-AMNESTY FORCES BELIEVE MANY SENATORS WILL SWITCH TO VOTE FOR DREAM ACT IF IT ISN’T ATTACHED TO A SPENDING BILL

Several pro-amnesty groups have been telling their members that the Dream Act has failed twice to be brought to a vote this fall because a lot of Senators don’t want it slowing down appropriations bills with clamorous debate.

They say that a number of Senators who have been telling voters that they would vote NO if the DREAM amnesty were proposed for the Defense or Labor spending bills have told them that they likely would vote YES if DREAM were stand-alone.

So, you will have to ask your Senators all over again and this time get a specific answer on DREAM as a stand-alone bill.

It appears that your pressure on Senators about attaching the amnesty to a spending bill have convinced Majority Leader Reid that he just isn’t going to be able to get his amnesty that way!
Senate MINORITY Leader McConnell Giving Us Hope

One of the great things we have working for our anti-amnesty efforts this time is that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is working assertively on our side.

During the fight over the Comprehensive Amnesty last spring, the Republican Senate leader took a mostly neutral stance until he cast his NO vote at the end.

But this fall he is providing strong leadership behind the scenes to stop the DREAM amnesty.

If he can hold 41 of his 49 Republicans, he could defeat the DREAM amnesty without any help from Democrats.

In June, 12 Republicans defected to the open borders side, leaving just 37 Republicans voting NO and requiring at least four Democrats to defeat the amnesty. Fortunately, 15 Democrats and one left-leaning Independent also voted NO.

McConnell’s assertive leadership against rewarding illegal aliens and encouraging an even larger run on the border gives us hope that more than 37 Republicans will vote NO this time. We have seen strong signs that several of the 12 pro-amnesty Republicans of last June are extremely skittish about further inviting the ire of their constituents with another YES vote on amnesty.

On the other hand, some of last June’s Republican NO voters are telling the open-borders lobbies that they see the DREAM Act as a palatable amnesty since it is mainly for teenagers.

On the Democratic side, we are not at all optimistic about keeping all or most of the 15 NO voters from June on the anti-amnesty side. They are being swayed that this is a very different kind of amnesty that they can sell to voters as a pro-child vote. We are further distrustful of their vote after 14 of the 15 voted this month in favor of cities that have sanctuary policies to protect illegal aliens.

The National Council of La Raza and the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform - two national “tax shelters” that are funded by YOU the taxpayers to undermine our very culture, our Constitution and our laws.  Call your Senators and Representatives next week and tell them you want NONE of your American tax dollars to go towards helping either of these un-American groups - EVER.

Call plan lets Spanish-speakers lobby Washington on immigration

© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

A campaign has been set up by a group including La Raza, an organization that advocates for a Mexican takeover of parts of southwestern United States, letting Spanish-speaking people lobby the U.S. Senate directly, even coaching them what English words to use.

And it deceives congressional offices, with a high-tech process that strips away the 800 number people actually call, and forwards to Washington the callers’ home numbers, leaving the impression the multitude of calls are not part of an organized effort, WND has learned.

The actual program is being run by the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, which calls itself “a campaign … to achieve passage of workable comprehensive immigration reform legislation that serves our nation,” and includes the National Council of La Raza as a supporting member.

As WND reported earlier, La Raza was condemned last year by Rep. Charles Norwood, R-Ga., as a radical “pro-illegal immigration lobbying organization that supports racist groups calling for the secession of the western United States as a Hispanic-only homeland.”

Norwood has called on La Raza to renounce its support of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan – which sees “The Race” as part of an ethnic group that one day will reclaim Aztlan, the mythical birthplace of the Aztecs. In Chicano folklore, Aztlan includes California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas.

The new campaign web pages trumpet: “NATIONAL CALL-IN DAYS FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM.”

Oh really? Isn’t that special. The invaders are more powerful than American citizens? Well I’m glad you showed the world where Hillary is investing her campaign and it’s not with America or American citizens. I am CERTAIN that the issuing of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens in New York has EVERYTHING to do with getting a few thousand illegal aliens through the voting booths undetected and she is banking on them voting for HER. This underscores how important it will be to ensure integrity at the voting booths in 2008 and requiring MORE than a New York driver’s license to be able to vote. Our future depends upon the sanctity of the right to vote being given ONLY to legal citizens. We need to start now in demanding that our election process WILL NOT ALLOW ILLEGAL ALIENS TO VOTE.

The Dems are trying every which way to either get amnesty for them or if that fails, at least they can get NY driver’s licenses and register to vote that way. They are shameless PIGS in their endless attempts to back door amnesty and give citizenship away like it is some kind of cheap raffle ticket.

If Hillary becomes President in 2008, I’m leaving the United States!

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, told a British magazine last week that illegal immigrants “may be the most powerful political force in the country.”

In an interview with The Spectator magazine, Penn said, “The most powerful political force in [America], and the most important voting bloc in the upcoming elections, may not even be able to vote — but their cousins can. And that may make all the difference.’

Interviewer Matthew d’Ancona also noted, ‘the radicalisation of illegal migrants to America, Penn thinks, could determine the next presidential election because their grievances will encourage their legally settled relatives to register and vote.”

I have news for ya Matthew - the radicalisation of illegal ALIENS is only serving to PISS OFF US AMERICAN CITIZENS TO THE POINT WE WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR THE LIKES OF ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. FURTHERMORE, IT HAS MOBILIZED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BOUNCE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT OF OFFICE BECAUSE CLEARLY THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS THE WORST THING SINCE BRITISH RULE IN THE 1700′S.

In his recent book, Microtrends, Penn wrote:

Just look at what has happened in the U.S. to illegal immigrants. A few years ago, they were the forgotten Americans, hiding from daylight and the authorities. Today they are holding political rallies, and given where they and their legal, voting relatives live, they may turn out to be the new Soccer Moms. Militant immigrants fed up with a broken immigration system just may be the most important voters in the next presidential election, distributed in the key Southwest states that are becoming the new battleground areas.

And you are just HOPING that the 2010 census will give the southwest even more seats due to the fact that the Census COUNTS ILLEGAL ALIENS. THAT PRACTICE NEEDS TO STOP ASAP AND THEN WE CAN GET BACK TO THE PROPER NUMBER OF SEATS REPRESENTING ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Penn’s client, Hillary Clinton, has courted this demographic since the beginning of her campaign. In a recent interview with Hispanic Trending, Clinton said, “when I’m President, I will work to pass immigration reform that honors our history as both a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws, and that includes a path to legalization.”

As a senator, Clinton denounced past efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.

Thankfully, we get to hear from the common sense side of things and Mark Krikorian gives the REAL picture that is emerging and that is - WE ARE PISSED AND WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

Mark Kirkorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a group which staunchly opposes illegal immigration, has some doubts about the political potency of illegal immigrants’ relatives. He pointed to the short-lived impact of marches in the past two years, and two separate mobilizations this year against comprehensive immigration plans that opponents said amounted to amnesty.

As to the presidential election being determined by the political mobilization of Hispanic citizens, Kirkorian says, “it could happen if the electoral vote count is close enough, but it can only make a difference at the margins, since all Hispanics, of recent immigrant origin or not, will account for only a little more than 6 percent of the vote. The problem for Penn is that meeting the demands of the elites who claim to speak for immigrants —amnesty for illegals, ever-looser enforcement, increased legal immigration — holds the real potential to radicalize Americans, making immigration a much higher-saliency issue than it usually is — and that’s not a micro-trend.”

The Clinton campaign has not replied to a Friday request for elaboration on Penn’s remark.
