The Senate failed to invoke cloture this morning by a vote of 39-60 on the Specter Amnesty, all but making it go it go away. You are making the difference! Many Senate offices tell us your voices are loud and clear-no amnesty! Since the cloture vote on the Specter Amendment failed, the largest amnesty proposal in American history does not have enough support behind it to pass the Senate.

Now, we face the second wave of amnesty-a late night “compromise” hashed out between Maj. Leader Frist and Sens. Hagel and Martinez.

Majority Leader Frist decided to invoke cloture on this new “compromise” — one that allows illegal aliens who have been here for at least five years (Illegally) to have amnesty. Those who recently entered the country have only to apply for papers and get legal status, and the requirement they depart the country is full of loopholes, starting with the fact this “mandatory” measure can be waived. Thus, the longer you’ve broken the law the greater your reward. Does anyone believe that this scenario is any better? With the rampant document fraud encountered each day by employers and USCIS will there be anyone with papers showing they’ve been here less than five years? We doubt it!

An amnesty is an amnesty!
1 There is no punishment for having broken our laws
2 Illegal aliens can continue to stay/live here
3 Illegal aliens can continue to work here
4 Despite breaking our laws, illegal aliens are given a privileged path to U.S. citizenship
5 In essence, illegal aliens are rewarded for breaking our laws

We have received many reports from you about your calls to the U.S. Senate. We are so appreciative of not only your calls, but for your feedback. Your feedback helps us direct our resources, and yours, in the right direction.

Many of you have stated your disappointment with the responsiveness of the Congressional staff answering your calls. Please treat this interaction with these Senate offices as you would with any company. You deserve to be treated respectfully. When you call, get the staffer’s name first. If at anytime you feel you are not treated with the appropriate “customer/constituent service,” ask to speak to their supervisor or staff director. You may even call back to the DC office or to their district offices to voice your complaint. These elected officials work for you-remember to hold them accountable.

Please call these Senators to respectfully but assertively tell them to vote against the Hagel/Martinez amnesty (vote to take place at 10:30, Friday, April 7), and to vote against the doubling of legal immigration legislation also in the Hagel/Martinez amendment that will be voted on tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. We need to adopt border security and enforcement only provisions like S. 2377 introduced by Senators Nelson, Coburn and Sessions.

Federal policies of high immigration interfere with market forces that otherwise would cause corporations and other employers to find ways to maximize American wages and working conditions while also maximizing productivity.

The result has been a decades-long wage depression in many occupations and even in some professions.

America has become less of a middle-class nation because of the quadrupling of immigration since 1965. And it has become more of a society of wide economic disparities.

Virtually all studies of this phenomenon have concluded that the greatest harm is to those American workers who already are the most vulnerable: those without high school degrees, those with lower intrinsic intelligence, those with fewer skills. The harm also is disproportionately felt by native-born minorities, especially Hispanics and Blacks, and by recent immigrants. For instance, a study by Harvard professor Dr. George J. Borjas finds that, by increasing the supply of labor, immigration between 1980 and 2000 cost native-born American men an average $1,700 in annual wages by the year 2000.

However, the effects of immigration on wages were most profoundly felt by native-born black and Hispanic Americans who suffered 4.5-5% wage reductions as compared with the 3.5% wage loss felt by native-born white Americans.

For these reasons, the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform, chaired by the late Barbara Jordan, concluded that present immigration numbers are a source of economic injustice in this country. The Commission recommended lowering immigration numbers significantly.

“Since 1970, immigration has increased the number of unskilled job applicants faster than the number of skilled job applicants. First-year economics predicts that increasing the relative number of unskilled workers will depress their wages, because employers will not need to raise wages to attract applicants for unskilled jobs. Nonetheless, those who favor an expansive immigration policy often deny that the increase in the number of unskilled job applicants depresses wages for unskilled work, arguing that unskilled immigrants take jobs that natives do not want. This is sometimes true. But we still have to ask why natives do not want these jobs. The reason is not that natives reject demeaning or dangerous work. Almost every job that immigrants do in Los Angeles or New York is done by natives in Detroit and Philadelphia. When natives turn down such jobs in New York or Los Angeles, the reason is that by local standards the wages are abysmal. Far from proving that immigrants have no impact on natives, the fact that American-born workers sometimes reject jobs that immigrants accept reinforces the claim that immigration has depressed wages for unskilled work.”

After watching the Comedy Central special Mind of Mencia, I was shocked at the degradingly low standards imposed upon the comedian Carlos Mencia. He was allowed to say absolutely any stupid thing that came to mind no matter how coarse or offensive it was. This type of shamelessly ignorant ghetto humor only appeals to the moral bottom feeders of society who have lost all conscience awareness of polite, civilized societal standards.

Those who come to America and attempt to impose their low cultural standards must not be allowed to constantly expose all of us to vulgarity and ignorance as though it is common place or mainstream. It is not in the first world. This behavior has always been, and will always be considered low moral and intellectual standards for life.

The shamelessness of his act and disrespect towards other cultures was appalling. As if we all think the way he does and it is acceptable to curse in front of children, or impose ghetto standards upon us all. We’re tired of it.

His act continued on to praise the fact that the taxpaying members of our American society “the white man” as he so elloquently put it, are losing their jobs to illegal immigrants who cannot even speak English. This was the brunt of an entire comedy bit, of which his “wetback” brother was the proud owner of the white mans house and five white man’s jobs, surrounded by white women in bikini’s around the pool. Clearly this is exceptionally culturally incorrect and disrespectful to Anglo Saxon culture.

So why is he allowed to get away wih this, when everyone know if a white man were to portray any other ethnicity in a similar fashion would be crucified? It’s called free speech. But why is the white man held to higher standards? Because we hold ourselves to higher standards. That is why our culture is great.

Where is our culture going when the first language choice when calling your credt card company, or when usng the ATM, is Spanish and not English? I’m fed up wth it. This is not cultural sensitivity, this is an invasion and overtaking of our society by illegal immigration and Mexican culture.

The Carlos Mencia simply loves this, since afterall, he is Latino.

Welcome to us1st.org……… establishing a community concerned with the state of immigration affairs within our nations borders. We hope to empower the American people to take action against the absurd immigration policies enacted over the past decade.

Our President’s administration cannot possibly experience the visceral impact of having our communities overrun with illegal aliens. When hard working men and women lose their jobs to an illegal Mexican who will do it at half price, it devalues the standard of living our parents and grandparents worked so hard to acheive for us. When information technology jobs are shipped overseas, this cannot possibly help the economy if the American losing his job can no longer afford their present lifestyle.

This doesn’t happen to a politician, who’s legacy cost and burden to the taxpayer for lifetime pension well after serving in Congress, is picked up by the American taxpayer, who incidentally lost his job to an illegal or foreign worker because of legislation passed by irresponsible and misinformed senators. This doesn’t make any sense at all.

We aim to bring common sense back to Congress.
