Tell Karl Rove and the Bush Campaign How You Feel
As part of our continuing campaign to stop the President's amnesty plans, set to be announced in mid- January, today we ask you to contact the President's chief political advisor and his campaign manager.
As we stated last Wednesday, if you like amnesty, mass legal immigration, and the continued unprecedented decline in the American economic standard of living, you'll love President Bush's proposal. While the details of the plan remain unclear, President Bush is expected to propose an outline modeled after legislation currently pending in the House and Senate, H.R. 2899 and S. 1461. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Representatives James Kolbe (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced these bills. This upcoming plan will undoubtedly reflect what President Bush meant two weeks ago at a press conference when he said he wants to match "any willing worker with any willing employer." If his proposal does resemble the McCain-Kolbe/Flake legislation, he might have added that American workers need not apply.
Here's What You Can Do Now:
Call President Bush's Chief Political Advisor, Karl Rove, in the White House at 202-456-2369. Tell him that Republicans should not abandon thr law and order principles by advancing the open borders policies preferred by Democrats. In your message, feel free to use one or more of the talking points below.
Address an e-mail message to the president's reelection campaign manager, Ken Mehlman, by using the Bush campaign web address.

Talking Points
Giving illegal aliens legal status does nothing to improve our national security. In fact it would take years and years to do background checks on the estimated 9-11 million illegal aliens who could be eligible for amnesty. An illegal alien who was amnestied in 1986, after all, later masterminded the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.
Any guestworker program leading to legal status for illegal aliens is an amnesty and threatens homeland security by encouraging more illegal immigration. Every time an elected official talks about the possibility of granting amnesty to illegal aliens, it says to would-be illegal aliens that they had better get into the United States while the getting is good.
This program would reward people who have cheated the system with permanent residence. This country is based on the rule of law-it should not be manipulated by people who have cheated thr way to the front of the line.
The current recovery from economic recession is unique in post World War II recoveries in that it comes without any benefit for American workers-just more offshore job outsourcing, low paying jobs, and an accompanying decline in the nation's standard of living. This new "American workers need not apply" guestworker/amnesty program may match any willing employer with any willing worker, but for American workers this means bng displaced by cheap forgn labor and a continuing decline in wages and working conditions for those fortunate enough to find or keep a job.
