NO AMNESTY

Congressman Luis Gutierrez has introduced his Amnesty Bill H.R 4321. It is called Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act of 2009 (CIR ASAP). Here is the link for the 600+ pages of H.B. 4321-

Senator Schumer of New York is currently working on a senate amnesty bill, however we do not have a senate bill number at this time.

Our unemployment rate is at an all time high. Our economy is struggling. Why is H.B. 4321 even being considered? We cannot continue to allow illegal immigrants to work jobs in our country, when so many citizens are unemployed and struggling to feed their families and pay their mortgages. What Washington should be doing is securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. It's time for U.S. citizens to be put first, not illegal immigrants who choose to ignore our immigration laws. Why should people be rewarded with amnesty for breaking our laws? There are so many immigrants who have followed the rules and are waiting their turn to become a law abiding citizen in this country. Amnesty was given to illegal immigrants in 1986, here we are in 2010 and we're looking at possibly 10 times the amount of illegal immigrants looking to receive amnesty.

February 22, 2010 - February 26, 2010 we will be making phone calls, sending faxes and e-mails to our Ohio representatives to ask them to vote against any form of amnesty.

Talking points:

Any job out there should be available for citizens to be working

Our schools are financially strained and overcrowded

Amnesty did not work in 1986

Cost to our economy - entitlements, healthcare etc

E-verify needs to be made mandatory

Another amnesty would encourage more illegal immigration

Please join us in contacting our representatives. Let them know we are against any form of amnesty. Ask them to secure our borders and enforce our existing immigration laws.
