Defense against Sen. Menendez is crumbling -- Senators need to hear from you
NOW
DEAR FRIENDS,
We need your new faxes and phone calls to your two U.S. Senators immediately
Monday morning and through the day.
202-224-3121
Just as we had seemed to push back attempts for massive increases in foreign
workers by the U.S. House, we now learn the danger has risen to Orange Alert
level in the Senate.
We had counted on Republican Senators to agree to stand up to the blackmail of
Sen. Menendez that we've been telling you about for the last month. (Read
background in my previous blogs.) Sadly, we have learned that an undetermined
number of Republican staffers are now plotting with Menendez (D-N.J.) to
increase foreign workers during a time of rising American unemployment.
Menendez -- you may recall -- has put a hold on re-authorization of the
E-Verify on-line program that keeps illegal aliens out of jobs.
He has been saying he will let the Senate vote to keep the program going IF the
Senate will also add hundreds of thousands more permanent immigrants. Our
understanding has been that Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nevada) was ready
last week to over-rule Menendez and bring E-Verify to the floor. And it looked
like Reid was willing to do it without adding extra foreign workers.
Then at the end of the week, several Republican staffers seem to have re-opened
the whole thing to add foreign workers, apparently to satisfy the demands of
special interest lobbyists.
Nothing but overwhelming faxing and phoning from their constituents will spare
us from this catstrophe.
Get your talking points and phone numbers from the Action Notes on your Action
Buffet corkboard.
HERE ARE THE AMERICANS BEING SACRIFICED
IN BACKROOM SENATE NEGOTIATIONS
While voices are raised behind closed doors in the Senate to give away hundreds
of thousands more jobs to another round of imported foreign workers, consider
these stunning statistics:
In August, 592,000 additional Americans were added to the official unemployment
rolls.
Total number of Americans who are officially unemployed, looking for a job and
can't find one? 8.28 million!
Current official unemployment rate (highest in 5 years)? 6%
Official unemployment rate considerably higher for Hispanic women: 8.7%
Rate twice as high for Black American men: 12.3%!
It has been hard enough to understand Sen. Menendez' callous attitude toward
these unemployed Americans.
But can you believe there are others on Capitol Hill who are this out-of-touch?
Or this ruthless in efforts to appease special interest lobbyists?
Our message to every Senate office has to be:
1. No increase in immigration and foreign workers of any kind.
2. Re-authorize E-Verify without any strings -- just like the House did a month
ago.
Friends, Congress will try to get out of town in just two weeks. There will be
incredible pressures to pass all kinds of terrible immigration measures for
this country. I beg you to watch for our Alerts, to read them and respond to
them even if they come daily -- even several times a day.
This next two weeks is a time of dire danger for the nation, and especially for
the nation's unemployed, the nation's blue-collar and service workers and for
the nation's information technology workers and nurses (as well as students
seeking to enter those fields).
THANKS,
P.S. We can triple our membership quickly if our members email their friends
about us and they in turn email theirs. Polls show that most Americans agree
with NumbersUSA's positions but, despite our recent rapid growth, most American
voters still have never heard of us. You can help change that by forwarding
this email widely. (Note: depending on your email provider, you may need to
send this as an "attachment.")
This may be a good time for you to make sure that you've let us know all of the
areas you are interested in. In order to further customize the type of alerts
