Dear Faxer:
*DREAM* Act amnesty considered as an amendment: Fax today!
This new fax has been posted in your Action Buffet based on your answers to the Interest Survey.
You can find this fax by proceeding to
https://www.numbersusa.com/faxes?ID=8949
There is a strong possibility that amnesty advocates will try to attach the DREAM Act amnesty to the Labor, Health and Human Services appropriations bill (H.R. 3043).
Please fax your senators and remind them why millions of Americans oppose this amnesty!
On September 27, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced that the DREAM Act would not be considered as an amendment to H.R. 1585, the Defense Department authorization bill for fiscal year 2008.
Supporters of this ill-conceived amnesty are not giving up, however, and this represents their latest attempt to pass the bill into law by attaching it to an appropriations bill.
Tell Senate offices that the following things remain unchanged:
- The DREAM Act allows illegal "teens" to petition for their parents, leading eventually to their aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins:
The big argument for this amnesty is that it is for teenagers who are here illegally because their parents broke the law. Even with the new "less-than-30" age requirement, far more than teens can get this amnesty (and Sen. Durbin has included "humanitarian" and "family unity" exceptions to the age limit). Nonetheless, the argument is that the teenagers should not be punished for the crimes of their parents.
But as soon as DREAM amnesty citizens are over 21, they can bring in their parents who broke the law to get them into the country. The chief criminals will be rewarded after all.
And because of Chain Migration, the amnestied "teens" can see their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents getting permanent U.S. residency as well.
- The DREAM Act does not Protect Americans from Terrorists and Criminals:
Illegal immigrants are not required to submit fingerprints or undergo background security checks at any point in the DREAM Act process. Therefore, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has no way to know whether an alien seeking DREAM Act amnesty is a terrorist or criminal. This security failure is compounded by the confidentiality section of the DREAM Act, which is a relic from pre-9/11 days (it’s modeled on the fraud-prone 1986 amnesty). This section basically requires DHS to hide information about terrorist and criminal aliens from itself. If a DHS adjudicator at USCIS learns from a DREAM Act application that an alien poses terrorist or criminal concerns, the adjudicator is prohibited from alerting ICE enforcement officers at DHS, and in fact, if the adjudicator were to volunteer such information to ICE, he could be fined $10,000. To cap it all, DHS is prohibited from removing from the United States all aliens, including criminals, terrorists, fraudsters, and other ineligible aliens while they have a DREAM Act application pending, even if that application is based upon fraud or the alien is ineligible.
- The DREAM Act Offers Citizenship to Illegal Aliens Who Lack Good Moral Character:
The DREAM Act does not require that aliens have a history of good moral character; it only requires that they have good moral character from the time that they apply. This means that criminal aliens, terrorists, and other aliens who lack good moral character before they apply get an amnesty for their pre-application period conduct, no matter how bad or extensive that conduct.
- The DREAM Act is Not Just for Young People:
Sponsors insist that the point of the DREAM Act is to provide legal status to “kids” and “young people.” However, the DREAM Act is not directed just at minors. Under the "new" DREAM Act, anyone 29 years old or younger, who illegally entered the United States before the age of 16 and has illegally remained here for 5 years or more will qualify for lawful permanent residence (and eventual citizenship) if they satisfy the easily-met criteria for DREAM Act amnesty. Illegal aliens who are 30-years-old or older can still be granted the DREAM amnesty through "humanitarian" or "family unity" waivers.
- The DREAM Act is a Big Amnesty:

Illegal aliens who are 30-years-old or older can still be granted the DREAM amnesty through "humanitarian" or "family unity" waivers.
- The DREAM Act is a Big Amnesty:
There are an estimated 2 million illegal immigrant children currently in the United States. They are only a portion of the millions of aliens who will likely qualify for the DREAM Act amnesty, because the DREAM Act does not place a cap on the number of people who qualify, provides exceptions to the newly-formed under-30 age limit, and applies retroactively to anyone who first entered before age 16. Furthermore, the recipients of the DREAM Act amnesty will be permitted to petition for their illegal parents and adult relatives once they become citizens.
- The DREAM Act is Deceptive:
The marketing campaign for the DREAM Act makes as though the amnesty is intended for high school graduates who are on their way to college or military service. But the bill as written ensures that illegal immigrants don’t have to attend high school or go to college to qualify for the amnesty: they need only take an ability-to-benefit test and complete a 1-year vocational program to get eventual citizenship (and there’s no requirement that they actually complete their college education). Nor do aliens have to join the Armed Forces: they need only go to work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or Public Health Service for 2 years to get eventual citizenship.
- The DREAM Act is a Fraud Machine:
We know from experience that amnesty from immigration laws generates massive fraud, and the DREAM Act is no exception. Nothing in the DREAM Act will prevent a 29-year old alien from asserting that he entered the United States before the age of 16 and has remained here ever since. The DREAM Act is silent on how DHS will determine the veracity of such claims. The DREAM Act will actually promote fraud because it prevents DHS from deporting aliens who’ve applied for the amnesty until their applications are resolved – a process that will likely take years, because DHS lacks the resources to rapidly process the millions of applications it will receive. Even if DHS eventually decides that some aliens do not qualify for the amnesty, DHS cannot use the statements aliens made in their applications to deport them, because their statements are protected by the confidentiality section in the DREAM Act.
- The DREAM Act is Unfair to American Students and Taxpayers:
The "new" DREAM Act removed the in-state college tuition section. However, aliens who get the amnesty will become legal residents and will therefore be automatically eligible for in-state tuition anyway.
- The DREAM Act Puts Illegal Immigrants at the Front of the Line for Green Cards:
The DREAM Act requires that applications for its amnesty must be expedited, bars DHS from charging fees for expedited service, and fails to provide DHS the additional personnel and equipment needed to handle expedited applications. Because millions of people will file applications for DREAM Act amnesty (regardless of whether or not they eventually qualify), DHS will experience a significant backlog of cases that will necessarily slow DHS’ ability to process conventional business and family visas, and applications for naturalization. This will adversely impact our economy, and disrupt the settled expectations of intending legal immigrants to the United States.
- The DREAM Act Will Allow Dangerous Criminal Aliens to Remain At Large in the United States:
DHS lacks the resources to detain all criminal aliens it encounters in the United States, and so DHS has to pick and choose which criminals to hold for deportation. When DHS deports a criminal al ien, the detention or “bed space” vacated by the out-going criminal is immediately filled by another criminal alien. The DREAM Act does not disqualify anyone (even criminals) from filing an application and bars DHS from removing any alien who’s filed an application for amnesty. Thus, criminal aliens who have no desire to be deported will file DREAM Act applications to halt or slow their deportations, which means they will spend more time taking up detention space which could be used to house other criminal aliens. That means more criminal aliens whom DHS cannot house will be free to roam the United States. The DREAM Act also creates an opportunity for extremely dangerous criminal aliens to be released into the general population. By law, a criminal alien who is subject to a final order of removal must be released from DHS custody within 90 days if his removal is not “reasonably foreseeable.” As mentioned previously, the DREAM Act does not allocate resources to DHS to process the millions of applications that are sure to be filed, which will result in very lengthy delays. The result? A dangerous criminal alien who would otherwise have been removed from the United States files his DREAM Act application, and when that application stalls at DHS with millions of others, he can file a petition in a district court after 90 days to effect his release because his removal is not “reasonably foreseeable.”

2-for-1 Matching Gifts Offered for All Individual Gifts to NumbersUSA
If you've been waiting for the Ideal Time to donate to NumbersUSA, THIS IS THE TIME!!
DEAR JIM M,
Congratulations! Your phone calls and faxes this week have once again stopped Senators from attaching an amnesty to a spending bill!
You kept the amnesty off the Defense bill in September.
This week, you've kept it off the Labor bill.
But now the Senate amnesty leaders have decided to push the "Dream Act" amnesty as a stand-alone bill.
We are in a Battle Royale once again!
But I know you'll want to hear about this. Beginning October 1, several donors have begun a 2-for-1 matching grant opportunity to NumbersUSA members.
Press Here To Donate
Our special financial difficulty right now is that NumbersUSA’s new budget year began on Oct. 1. Because of various IRS and foundation rules, THE WEALTHY DONORS CAN GIVE US NOTHING AFTER OCTOBER 1 unless we first raise money from individual citizens like yourselves.
The Open Borders lobby is well-funded by countless wealthy foundations and corporations with deep pockets. We are fortunate that there are a few wealthy donors who share our love of a sovereign America and for the values of freedom, economic justice and preservation of our quality of life.
But their large donations are dependent on your smaller ones.
What does this 2-for-1 match mean?
> For every $25 you send us, we can raise another $50.
> For every $50, we get another $100.
> And for every $100 gift, the large donors are standing by to add an additional $200!
Let me put the match another way. For every $25 you give us, we will have a total of $75 to work for immigration reductions. For every $100 you donate, we will have $300 to spend.
To emphasize why full funding of NumbersUSA is so important, I know that I don’t have to do much more than remind you of the unique mission NumbersUSA fills:
NumbersUSA has sent more than 13 million faxes to Congress and the White House, at absolutely no cost to the senders.
NumbersUSA maintains a fulltime professional lobbying staff on Capitol Hill to press Congress to get immigration numbers down to traditional levels--every day!
The 2-for-1 match is good for any donation you make by on-line, postal or phoned credit card donation, by postal check, by Pay Pal, by stock, by donation of an auto or any other means.
If you are currently a donor to NumbersUSA, this is a great opportunity to multiply your giving.
If you've not yet made a first gift, please consider making your first donation to NumbersUSA this month. We must stop the "Dream Act" Amnesty!
Press Here To Donate
Remember, if you are ill, unemployed, or living on a small fixed income, please do not contribute. We only ask for help from those able to help.
THANK YOU,
ROY BECK

Amnesty crowd hopes to wear us down ... Can you prove them wrong again this week?
DEAR FRIENDS,
I hope that each time you get one of these Alerts that you will first read the text in the boxes to the right.
Some of you complain that I send you too much information.
If you don't think you have time to read the whole email, then read the IN THIS EMAIL box to the right and click on just the items that most interest you.

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.

You can see all the direct Capitol office phone numbers and the numbers for their offices back home at:
www.numbersusa.com/congressinfo/
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.
in this email:
1. Sen. Reid invokes special rule to allow speedy passage of Dream Act amnesty this week
2. Pro-amnesty forces believe many Senators will switch to DREAM if it isn't attached to a spending bill

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.

Tuesday -- 83,618 faxes
Wednesday -- 93,358 faxes
Thursday -- 25,734 faxes

That was enough to keep the DREAM Act amnesty off the Labor spending bill.
You sent nearly 1 million faxes in September to stop DREAM on the Defense spending bill
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE IS SAYING ABOUT YOUR EFFORTS TO STOP AMNESTIES -- AND PLANS TO BEAT YOU
The following was published in the Immigration Daily, which is a publication for open-borders supporters. The key points are that:
(1) They regard you as their most formidable opponents.
(2) Your calls against DREAM have swamped the pro-DREAM calls 50-1.
(3) They believe they can get 70 votes, when only 60 are needed to pass, if DREAM is allowed to come to the Senate floor.
(4) They believe that if DREAM passes they can pass a whole string of other amnesties and benefits for illegal aliens.
IMMIGRATION DAILY
Make DREAM Real
DREAM may become reality soon. After the CIR (Comprehensive Immigration Reform) debacle (in June), no one thought serious immigration benefits legislation had any chance in 2007.
It appears that we might be in for a very pleasant surprise.
* * * * * * *
The rabidly anti-immigration website NumbersUSA (the main vehicle for the antis to influence Congress) has gone on a war against DREAM, and despite its best efforts for a week now, has managed to get only 22 Senators to publicly commit to voting against DREAM (they would need 41 votes to prevail). Mr. Durbin, in response to NumbersUSA's ferocious campaign has made two minor modifications to his original language, showing that most of the votes for DREAM appear to be there. It is our estimate that DREAM would garner about 70 votes on the floor if a showdown came at this time.
So much for the good news. Now for the rest. Senators who are eager to enact DREAM say that they are getting calls against it by lopsided ratios of 50 against to 1 for. Even a small number of calls and faxes by those in favor would help them better justify a vote against the concerted effort by the antis to bully Congress into a position where voting for benefits becomes impossible.
Here's why everyone who wants immigration benefits, of whatever kind, should care about DREAM. If DREAM succeeds on the Senate floor, there is a whole slew of benefit bills lined up right behind it - SKIL, AgJOBS, you name it. We believe that once the benefits dam breaks in Congress, a flood of benefits will follow. Our best read of the House at this time is that the House Democratic leadership will permit a vote on any immigration benefits to come from the Senate, and we believe that there are plenty of votes on the House floor for targeted benefits like DREAM, SKIL and AgJOBS, etc. That is why DREAM is worth pushing for, even apart from its intrinsic merit, since a veritable cornucopia of benefits may well result in the wake of its success.
We urge our readers to support (and get others to support) DREAM through faxes and calls to the Senate.
I emphasize to you that the text above in blue is from the pro-amnesty publication Immigration Daily.
The Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR) is another entity working full-time against your interests and for outlaw employers and their illegal workers.
Its recent assessment of the situation is this:
Strong grassroots rally by “anti-immigration” groups scared away some Senators who were considering DREAM
The CCIR has isolated “the myths and lies” which are the arguments against the Dream Act, and is better prepared to debate it
Pro-amnesty activists find they do best when calling Senate offices by emphasizing that it is for children who have come to the US and stayed in school, and “stayed out of trouble.”
Pro-amnesty activists are advised to never refer to the illegal teenagers as 'undocumented students” without adding “…who have grown up here.” People will react better.
“We feel really good about the people sitting on the fence. They (the opposition) had to go all out on the blogs and phones in order to beat us, and they just made it.” With a stand-alone bill, the fence-sitters ought to come back to the amnesty side.
Some key Republican Senators who have been telling their constituents they will vote NO on DREAM attached to any spending bill are telling CCIR that they plan to vote YES if DREAM is a stand-alone.
Illegal alien students have been visiting Senate and House offices daily for several weeks now and are gaining “converts.”
Unfortunately, any drop in opposition to the amnesty this week will be interpreted by some Senators and their staffs as meaning that the American people are getting tired of fighting on this issue. For some, that will be just the opening they seek to be able to give the outlaw employers lobbies what they want -- an opening for a whole series of amnesties to keep them supplied with cheap foreign labor.
The country needs your help again this week.

Thank your Representative for cosponsoring H.R. 1940 to prevent birthright citizenship
You sent this fax on October 21, 2007
Mr. Jim M
(Contact YOUR congressmen & ask them to support this bill not passed yet!)
Rep. Sue Myrick
230CHOB, U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Myrick,
I am concerned about the excessive population growth resulting from the automatic citizenship granted to the children of illegal aliens. I appreciate your support of H.R. 1940.
It's time to make U.S. policy on birthright citizenship consistent with the birthright citizenship policies of a majority of other countries worldwide.
For instance, in June 2004, voters in Ireland, the only country in the European Union to grant citizenship to anyone born in the country regardless of where the parents come from, overwhelmingly approved a plan to do away with a constitutional provision granting automatic Irish citizenship to any child born in Ireland.
Thank you for supporting H.R. 1940 and helping the U.S. get with the times.
->As a matter of policy for decades, the Federal government has granted citizenship to babies born to illegal alien mothers. This is a pronounced reward to those parents who have entered or stayed in the United States in violation of immigration laws.
Not only do the mothers immediately get access to a whole array taxpayer-funded social services for their babies, but these illegal aliens get a virtual guarantee that they will never be asked to leave the country.
Thank you for your support H.R. 1940 to address this important issue.
Phone me if you would like to talk about this,
Mr. Jim M
P.S. Thanks______ https://numbersusa.com/video

Sen. Reid just filed for cloture to bring AMNESTY to vote on Wednesday -- All must phone Tuesday
RED ALERT, FRIENDS!
This is not a drill. This is the real thing.
A massive amnesty for illegal aliens is probably coming up for a vote Wednesday in the Senate.
Our Capitol Hill Team just contacted me and reported that Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) has just filed for "cloture" on S. 2205 (the DREAM Act amnesty).
If Americans don't phone Tuesday until the switchboard shuts down, it looks like we're going to have a brand new amnesty for illegal aliens coming out of the Senate later this week.
PLEASE CALL YOUR TWO SENATORS AND PLEAD THAT THEY VOTE 'NO' ON THE S. 2205 CLOTURE ON WEDNESDAY.
Phone Senate Switchboard
202-224-3121
Sen. Reid is hell-bent on getting this amnesty through the Senate as fast as possible and before we can fully mobilize the country as happened when we defeated his Comprehensive Amnesty bill in June.
Here is something pretty amazing: After the American people overwhelmingly rose up against the big compromise in June that traded an amnesty for some mediocre extra enforcement, Sen. Reid is trying to push through an amnesty WITHOUT ANY ENFORCEMENT MEASURES!
He is using the Rule 14 that I told you about last night to avoid any committee debate, hearings or deliberations. Filing for cloture means that he can bring the amnesty up on Wednesday.
The first vote will be on whether to allow the amnesty to come to the Senate floor for full debate and eventual vote. If we can hold the YES votes below 60, we can stop the bill in its tracks. We need 41 NO votes to guarantee killing it.
You can see all the direct Capitol office phone numbers and the numbers for their offices back home at:
www.numbersusa.com/congressinfo/
You must emphasize to your Senators that a YES vote on cloture will be interpreted by all of us as a vote for rewarding millions of illegal aliens with amnesty.

TALKING POINTS AGAINST THIS AMNESTY
We will be providing you more detailed talking points when you click on the phone notes on your Action Buffet corkboard.
But here are the things I am emphasizing to the media, most of whom can't seem to understand how I can possibly oppose helping out a bunch of good kids whose parents are the ones who broke the law by bringing them here to be illegal aliens.
S. 2205 would do what all amnesties do -- entice millions more people to become illegal aliens here. The word across the world would be that immigration crime pays.
The DREAM Act amnesty doesn't just offer U.S. citizenship to illegal alien teenagers, it also provides amnesty to the parents of most of them. Once the amnestied teens become citizens they can obtain an amnesty for their parents.
S. 2205 provides for no extra enforcement to help ensure that families around the world don't risk their teenagers' lives by forcing them to enter the U.S. illegally across the deserts. Passage of this amnesty likely would increase deaths of illegal aliens in the desert as more and more people attempt to get into the country in preparation for the next amnesty.
Many of the advocacy groups pushing the DREAM Act amnesty openly say it is intended as a way to break the barrier and then to push for several more amnesties and rewards for illegal aliens.
Many of these teenagers weren't brought to the United States illegally by their parents. Rather, many of them came on their own and found illegal shelter with legal immigrants who were from their country.
If there is a compelling story for giving amnesty to any of these high school students, it should be told only after the rule of law has been restored, including a fully functioning entry/exit system at the border and mandatory verification of all new hires by all businesses, governments and non-profits.
OUR LATEST COUNT ON HOW EACH SENATOR IS LEANING ON THE AMNESTY
Based on what you are reporting back to us from your phone calls and on what we are hearing directly from Senate offices, we can provide you with our best assessment of how Senators will vote on this amnesty.
Our lobbyists on the Hill and our Action Buffet Team will be modifying the list every hour Tuesday, turning names green if they are pledging a NO AMNESTY vote, red if they are pledging an AMNESTY YES vote, and black if they not committing themselves.
Our website team will be moving the vote-count list to the NumbersUSA Home Page Tuesday morning. Until then, you can find it here.
The country desperately needs your help this week.

Let's get Heath Shuler's new Democratic enforcement bill to a vote in the U.S. House
DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ....
.... AND SUPPORTERS OF ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT & SELF-DEPORTATION,
Hard on the heels of your tremendous defeat of the DREAM Act amnesty in the Senate last week, we have our best chance yet in this Democratic-controlled Congress for improving enforcement against illegal immigration.
(Some email services failed to deliver my analysis of our amnesty victory, and many of your computer's blocked the analysis from getting into your in-box, we are learning. You can read the analysis at: https://numbersusa.com/actionalerts)
North Carolina Democratic Representative Heath Shuler will soon be introducing a great immigration enforcement bill:
The SAVE ACT (Secure America with Verification and Enforcement)
This bill (it will have no bill number until introduced) is far more than a gesture to show that Shuler is on the side of the American workers.
Congressman Shuler appears to be deadly serious about getting this bill enacted and removing the jobs magnet for illegal immigration. He is moving the ball on this bill a whole lot better than he did as an NFL quarterback, completing passes to fellow Representatives every day as he gets their signature as co-sponsors on the floor of the House.
He is fighting for immigration rationality and the rule of law with the kind of winning confidence he showed in college when he was runnerup for the Heisman Trophy.
NumbersUSA will make its formal endorsement of this bill later today.
We believe this bill with its bi-partisan support but originating on the Democratic side of the House is just the vehicle to give us a chance to actually pass immigration legislation through a Democratic-controlled Congress that would significantly improve the lives of most Americans.
REQUIRES EVERY EMPLOYER TO USE
ELECTRONIC VERIFICATION SYSTEM ON EVERY EMPLOYEE
The SAVE Act does a lot of things to protect our borders and to help with interior enforcement. (We'll provide you with a section-by-section analysis as soon as the bill is formally introduced.)
But the section that I applaud the most has to do with workplace verification. We believe that jobs are the main reason illegal aliens come here. Drying them up would seriously slow the flow of new illegal aliens. And it would start to drive perhaps as many as a million already-settled illegal aliens back home each year.
The SAVE Act would eventually require every employee in America to go through the E-Verify system. This internet system provides employers with an inexpensive, quick, and accurate way to verify that employees are not illegal aliens. The rules for use are such that no employee or employer suffers if there is a mistake in the system because there is ample time to correct errors on the employee's side and on the government's side.
The SAVE Act would ...
... require during Year 1 that all government agencies, government contractors, plus all businesses with more than 250 employees run all NEW hires through E-Verify.
... require during Year 2 that all businesses with 100 or more employees use E-Verify for new hires.
... require during Year 3 that all businesses with more than 20 employees use E-Verify for new hires.
... during Year 4 add businesses with fewer than 20 employees so that all businesses use E-Verify for new hires.
... also during Year 4 require all businessese to run all their previous hires through E-Verify.
The four-year phase-in is to give the government more room for massive expansion of its current system. It also allows the government to work out kinks before it is required for use by small businesses which often lack the personnel to easily deal with new procedures.
During the first three years, new illegal aliens and currently settled ones who lose their jobs will find fewer and fewer places where they can seek work.
But during those first three years, current illegal aliens who stayed in the same job would not be affected by the expanding use of E-Verify.
In the fourth year, however, all of those illegal workers would be run through E-Verify. If their Social Security number, name and a couple more details didn't match -- and they had no excuse -- they would lose their jobs.
NumbersUSA has always maintained that very few businesses actually want to hire illegal aliens. And we believe that of the minority of businesses that do hire illegal aliens, most do so without knowing it or do so because they feel forced to do it to keep from being run out of business by competitors who ARE hiring illegal aliens.
If we give businesses a tool they can rely on, and assure them that their competitors won't get by with hiring illegals, very few illegal aliens will get hired anywhere.
There aren't enough odd-jobs and off-the-books jobs in the underground economy to soak up the estimated 7 million illegal workers in the country. Most illegal aliens will no longer find enough work to support them and their dependents, and most of them will eventually give up their lives of illegality and go home -- ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT & SELF-DEPORTATION.
FIRST-TIME PROVISIONS TO CATCH
ILLEGAL ALIENS USING IDENTITY THEFT
All of us inside and outside government who have lauded E-Verify under its different names the last decade have acknowledged that it doesn't identify all illegal aliens.
It works with the majority of illegal aliens who are making up Social Security numbers and names when they apply for a job.
But if an illegal alien has paid the money to steal the identity of an American, or a legally present foreign national, E-Verify passes them through.
The Shuler bill is the first to address this problem and solve it.
It creates a system of detecting when the same identity is being used to hold down more jobs than are credible. In some cases, the same identity is being used by hundreds of people in hundreds of workplaces. The Shuler bill creates a notification system that roots out this fraud. We'll describe this in more detail in a later alert.

A CHANCE FOR HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO STAND ON SIDE OF AMERICAN WORKERS -- AND AGAINST OUTLAW COMPANIES HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS
We are ecstatic to see so many Democrats considering signing on to the toughest workplace verification language ever proposed in Congress.
In the Senate, the Democrats are overwhelmingly leaders for open borders and providing unscrupulous businesses with massive flows of foreign labor. But Shuler is out to prove that Democrats in the U.S. House stand by American workers.
I'm making such a big deal about this bill because many commentators since Democrats took control of Congress last November have said it will be impossible to move an enforcement-only bill any sooner than 2009.
If we are to have any chance at all, the vehicle must be a Democratic vehicle. The SAVE Act is.
But we need your help to push your Democratic Representative (if you have one) to sign up. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could persuade 50 Democrats to be original co-sponsors of this bill?
WILL REPUBLICANS PUT THE PUBLIC GOOD
AHEAD OF PARTISAN PARTY POLITICS?
The success of this Democratic-led bill will be dependent upon Republicans massively joining it as well.
If you have a Republican Representative, will he/she be willing to sign onto a Democratic originated bill?
We need your help to push Republicans to set partisanship aside and help move this bill to a vote on the House floor.
WATCH FOR FAX ALERTS -- MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS
We'll be putting up a fax that provides what your own U.S. Representative needs to hear right now regarding the Shuler bill.
Please watch for an Alert from us that will provide a link to that fax.
You may want to go ahead and make a phone call to your Representative today and ask him/her to please co-sponsor Heath Shuler's SAVE Act to take away the job magnet for illegal immigration.
PHONE THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD AT:
202-224-3121
For your call to your own Representative today, just have a short, low-key conversation.
Tell him/her about how excited you are to hear an outline of the SAVE Act and how important it is for Congress to take away the jobs magnet for illegal immigration. And ask him/her to call Rep. Shuler's office to ask about signing the bill as an original co-sponsor.
The fact is that the only way Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California will allow an enforcement bill to come to a vote is if she is under pressure from scores of Democrats having signed on to co-sponsor this legislation.
We proved we are strong enough to stop amnesties repeatedly this year.
But can we prove we are strong enough to pass something that actually improves life in the United States?
OTHER ITEMS IN THE BILL
Here are some other things the SAVE Act would do:
Increases Customs and Border Patrol agents by 8,000, utilizes new technology and fencing to secure the border, and expands specialized enforcement programs, such as the “Tunnel Task Force”

A CHANCE FOR HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO STAND ON SIDE OF AMERICAN WORKERS -- AND AGAINST OUTLAW COMPANIES HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS
We are ecstatic to see so many Democrats considering signing on to the toughest workplace verification language ever proposed in Congress.
In the Senate, the Democrats are overwhelmingly leaders for open borders and providing unscrupulous businesses with massive flows of foreign labor. But Shuler is out to prove that Democrats in the U.S. House stand by American workers.
I'm making such a big deal about this bill because many commentators since Democrats took control of Congress last November have said it will be impossible to move an enforcement-only bill any sooner than 2009.
If we are to have any chance at all, the vehicle must be a Democratic vehicle. The SAVE Act is.
But we need your help to push your Democratic Representative (if you have one) to sign up. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could persuade 50 Democrats to be original co-sponsors of this bill?
WILL REPUBLICANS PUT THE PUBLIC GOOD
AHEAD OF PARTISAN PARTY POLITICS?
The success of this Democratic-led bill will be dependent upon Republicans massively joining it as well.
If you have a Republican Representative, will he/she be willing to sign onto a Democratic originated bill?
We need your help to push Republicans to set partisanship aside and help move this bill to a vote on the House floor.
WATCH FOR FAX ALERTS -- MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS
We'll be putting up a fax that provides what your own U.S. Representative needs to hear right now regarding the Shuler bill.
Please watch for an Alert from us that will provide a link to that fax.
You may want to go ahead and make a phone call to your Representative today and ask him/her to please co-sponsor Heath Shuler's SAVE Act to take away the job magnet for illegal immigration.
PHONE THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD AT:
202-224-3121
For your call to your own Representative today, just have a short, low-key conversation.
Tell him/her about how excited you are to hear an outline of the SAVE Act and how important it is for Congress to take away the jobs magnet for illegal immigration. And ask him/her to call Rep. Shuler's office to ask about signing the bill as an original co-sponsor.
The fact is that the only way Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California will allow an enforcement bill to come to a vote is if she is under pressure from scores of Democrats having signed on to co-sponsor this legislation.
We proved we are strong enough to stop amnesties repeatedly this year.
But can we prove we are strong enough to pass something that actually improves life in the United States?
OTHER ITEMS IN THE BILL
Here are some other things the SAVE Act would do:
Increases Customs and Border Patrol agents by 8,000, utilizes new technology and fencing to secure the border, and expands specialized enforcement programs, such as the “Tunnel Task Force”
Outlines provisions for recruitment of new agents and personnel through bonuses, student loan repayments, and other financial incentives
Creates a pilot program to increase aerial surveillance, satellite, and equipment sharing between the Department of Homeland Security and the Dept. of Defense to reduce costs and save taxpayer money
Increases investigative abilities of ICE by employing more agents and increasing cooperation between ICE and state and local law enforcement, including sharing personnel, information, and equipment
Creates new infrastructure for the detention, processing and removal of illegal aliens by increasing detention facility capacity, and streamlining judicial processes
Implements a targeted media campaign to inform illegal aliens of new laws and penalties, while also informing employers of penalties for hiring illegal immigrants

View new video interviews before November elections
NumbersUSA : October 29 , 2007
We urge you to visit a brand new web-site of video interviews with some of the most provocative observers of today's immigration nightmare:
www.thepromiseofhome.com
You can use these interviews for home screenings and to help support candidates campaigning on this issue in your local district. Send the link to all your friends.
It's important that as many voters as possible see at least some of these interviews prior to the coming elections this November.
The website hosts video clips of interviews for a new feature length documentary film on America's immigration crisis.
The full length film itself will be available in January '08.
Right now, however, you can down-load FOR FREE uncut interviews with:
Attorney General Ed Meese, Roy Beck and Rosemary Jenks of Numbers USA, Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, Marian Davies of You Don't Speak for US, Brigitte Gabriel of Act for America, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, Former INS agent Mike Cutler, Author Dan Sheehy, Lt. Colonel Joe Meyers, USAF and more.
The web-site will require an e-mail address sign in so that it cannot be intentionally crashed by hostiles.
These will be quite useful for specific information as well as motivating the troops as the Nov '07 elections approach.
The producer notes:
"There are thousands of local and state elections all across the country on Nov 6. Many are turning on the issue of massive illegal immigration. NumbersUSA members can find invaluable information on this site, interviews and essays - that can be used to support their arguments for their local and state candidates calling for the enforcement of US immigration law.
"Interviews can be downloaded for free onto their i-pods, laptops and computers. They can then be projected at meetings if so desired. The main thing is for the activists nationwide to get to this site in a hurry to use the information as effectively as possible in the next few weeks. Every candidate running for office who cares about this issue, regardless of party affiliation, should visit this site."

Head of Immigration Reform Caucus endorses Shuler's bill .... Key Dem Senator nixes AgJOBS
DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD NEWS,
I want to bring you several pieces of breaking and recent good news. Many things are moving in the right direction. Some of them have action items. Please note and enjoy.
REPUBLICANS BEGINNING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC 'SAVE ACT'
Many Republicans have been cautious about a Democratic "Enforcement-Only" bill being promoted by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and gaining dozens of Democratic original co-sponsors before its introduction next week.
With nearly all the top leaders of the Democratic Party promoting amnesty and other rewards for illegal immigration, the question among Republicans has been whether the "SAVE Act" that comes from mostly lower-level Democratic Members of Congress can be trusted to truly combat illegal immigration?
Key Republican leaders of the anti-illegal movement have been giving the SAVE Act close scrutiny this week.
Doubts began to melt with the enthusiastic endorsement of the SAVE Act by California Republican Brian Bilbray, who earlier this year replaced Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) as chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus (when Tancredo began running for President).
Bilbray promoted the SAVE Act at a key meeting of House Republicans today. And Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Fla.) was reported to have received a strongly positive reception from his fellow Republicans after walking them through the details of the bill.
You can read a lot more about the SAVE ACT (Secure America with Verification and Enforcement) at:
www.numbersusa.com/interests/attrition.html
Our Capitol Hill Team has been in the offices of our best Republican allies against illegal immigration all day. The report from the team is that these Republicans, after looking it over, believe in Shuler's bill.
So do dozens of Democrats whose offices we've visited recently.
The fact is that this is becoming an incredible bi-partisan bill that represents the will of the American people to finally turn the tide on illegal immigration.
We are not allowed to tell you the names of all the original co-sponsors until the bill is introduced next week. But if your U.S. Representative already has officially signed up as a co-sponsor, you will find a 'thank you' fax on your Action Buffet corkboard.
And we CAN tell you that your faxes and phone calls are really making a difference on the Hill. It is beginning to look like this bill could be introduced with more original co-sponsors than any immigration bill ever.
The bandwagon is on a roll.

1. Republicans begin reacting to Democratic SAVE Act to take jobs away from illegal aliens

BIGGEST ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION GROUPS ENDORSE 'SAVE ACT'
After weeks of study of the SAVE Act, NumbersUSA on Monday issued its official endorsement.
Rep. Shuler sent our endorsement letter to all members of the U.S. House. Read our endorsement letter here.
Today, FAIR (the Federation for American Immigration Reform) issued its endorsement. FAIR is the nation's oldest organization fighting illegal immigration, since 1979.
Dan Stein, President of FAIR, wrote:
The SAVE Act is an important piece of legislation because it works to help stem the tide of illegal immigration both at the border and in the workplace.
First, the legislation authorizes desperately needed resources to enhance border security. These include additional border patrol agents, aerial surveillance equipment, and motor vehicles for customs and Border Protection.
Second, the bill responsibly addresses the magnet of illegal employment -- one of the most significant causes of illegal immigration. It does so by mantating that all employers use the E-Verify Program, requiring that the Social Security Administration share "no-match" information with Homeland Security, and prohibiting employers from deducting wages paid to illegal aliens.
WOULD DEMOCRATIC LEADERS POSSIBLY ALLOW AN ENFORCEMENT-ONLY BILL TO COME TO FLOOR FOR A VOTE?
Even a month ago, that seemed highly unlikely. After all, the career immigration record of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) rates at only 3% in our grading system! Only 11 of the 435 Members of the House are worse.
But all of you and many other Americans have made so much noise about illegal immigration that we are hearing some slight openness among Democratic leaders to allowing concerned Democrats to make their case.
Democratic leadership this week sent around this quote:
Democrats are reviewing poll after poll showing sagging popularity not only of Congress but also of their congressional leaders. So, some lawmakers have begun to argue, it just might be in everyone's interest to show that Washington can actually tackle a serious issue without all of the theatrics and games.
--"New Congress at War Over Everything," The Politico, 10/30/07
Real enforcement against illegal immigration sounds like just the issue, doesn't it? Keep up the pressure.
SENATE AG CHAIRMAN STRONGLY OPPOSES ANY VOTE ON AgJOBS AMNESTY ON HIS FARM BILL NEXT WEEK
Chances of a giant amnesty for ag workers and their dependents diminished significantly this morning at the National Press Club.
Sen. Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, told a group of reporters that he is adamently opposed to the Democratic leadership allowing the AgJOBS amnesty to be introduced as an amendment to "his" Farm Spending Bill.
Harkin noted that he is an original co-sponsor for the amnesty for illegal aliens working in agriculture. But he said immigration should not be legislated in the Farm Bill.
In fact, he said, immigration policy should not be taken up again until after "the next election." That would be 2009!
