We do not overstate the case when we say that IF the main provisions of the Senate Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill (S744) are combined with any House Bill, it would likely result in an Immigration Amnesty Disasters Bill. So CCN urgently needs your help to Implement our 'Resolution Solution'!
Consider:
Senate Bill S744, or any Bill passed in the House -- because any House Bill would go to conference Committee and likely end up as a copycat S. 744 -- would
--Cost American Taxpayers a Net (after subtracting Taxes Immigrants may pay) $6.3 Trillion ( heritage.org, cis.org )
--Provide 33 million lifetime work permits to legalized (amnestied) immigrants all of whom will compete with Millions of Unemployed and Underemployed American, including recent immigrant citizens, for jobs and a living wage (Ed Rubenstein, vDare )
--Transfer $100 Billion annually from American workers to Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Bill Gates (Microsoft) and other Hi-Tech Moguls who hire New Immigrants now for low wages and wish to hire many more (Rubenstein)
--Discriminate even more severely against American High Tech workers over age 40, the greatest proportion of those more-than 40,000(!) workers LAID OFF by Silicon Valley last year (CCN). {Ahem, and Silicon Valley claims it has a "Worker Shortage”!!}
--Create an additional 17.3 Million potential Voters by 2036 (vDare)
--Triple the Number of low skill Immigrants admitted (CCN) nearly all of whom would be eligible for Free (i.e., Taxpayer funded) Education and Health Care and Welfare benefits (36% of all Immigrants are already receiving some Welfare benefits! cis.org)
-- INCREASE the Replacement of American Workers by New Immigrants, which is Already Occurring (that is, this Trend would dramatically worsen if the Amnesty Bill passes) as described by Ed Rubenstein writing at vDare.com. (If Official employment figures are incorrectly high, as we believe, then the situation is even worse than Rubenstein describes below.)
"Since January, employers have added an average of 177,000 net new jobs per month. The rate slipped over the summer, to only 143,000 per month. Unmentioned in Main Stream Media accounts of this disappointing development: more than half of the new positions will be needed just to absorb new legal immigrants.
“This job growth slowdown should worry the Obama Administration, but it apparently it doesn’t. Indeed, the push to legalize millions of illegal aliens already working in the U.S. and increase legal immigration from its current record levels only intensified after the government re-opened for business. As we reported a few weeks ago, S.744 would add a minimum of 33 million more lifetime work permits [9] in its first decade than would occur under current law.
“Our analysis of the “other” employment report—of households rather than businesses—shows how desperate the situation has already become for native-born American workers.
“In September:
--Total employment rose by 133,000, or by 0.1%
--Native-born American employment fell by 73,000, or by -0.1%
--Foreign-born employment rose by 206,000, or by 0.9%"
In Sum, passage of the Amnesty Bill would be a Disaster for American Workers. We must reiterate that The Problem is that any Bill coming out of the House would likely be combined with the Worst provisions of the Senate Bill in Conference Committee, resulting in an Immigration Disasters Bill.
BUT CCN HAS A SOLUTION
Encourage House Members to pass a Resolution (not a Bill). The Resolution would set 9 Conditions which would have to be satisfied BEFORE any so-called Immigration 'Reform'/Amnesty Bill is considered by the House.
THAT RESOLUTION SHOULD INSIST THAT BEFORE ANY BILL IS PASSED
-
THE ONGOING ASYLUM FRAUD BE HALTED,
-
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS ACCUSED OF HIGH OR LOW-LEVEL OFFENSES! and that
-
EXISTING LAW BE FULLY ENFORCED, and
-
THE ENTRY-EXIT VISA SYSTEM PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED AND FUNDED BY CONGRESS -- but never made operational -- BE IMPLEMENTED USING FUNDS FROM THE EXISTING TSA BUDGET
-
THE PHYSICAL BORDER FENCE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS ACTUALLY BE COMPLETED, and
-
CCN suggests that HOUSE SPONSORS OF THE RESOLUTION SHOULD OFFER TO ESTABLISH and TO SERVE ON AN INVESTIGATIVE TASK FORCE. Their service on the Task Force would be a condition of the House CONSIDERING ANY IMMIGRATION BILL, and
-
A GUARANTEE THAT HOUSE SPONSORS BE APPOINTED TO THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE SHOULD ANY IMMIGRATION BILL PASS THE HOUSE.
-
A further condition would SET PRIORITIES, including that The TASK FORCE COMPLETE ITS WORK BEFORE THE HOUSE CONSIDERED ANY IMMIGRATION BILL! and
-
THAT THE TASK FORCE CAUSE THE NET COST OF EACH PROVISION OF ANY PROPOSED IMMIGRATION BILL, INCLUDING THE SENATE BILL, TO BE ESTIMATED, based on Existing and Authorized Research, if any, BEFORE ANY SUCH BILL IS BROUGHT TO THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE. This would allow the House to fulfill the Constitutional Requirement that all spending Bills originate in the House.
Summing up, the way to kill S. 744 is to bypass it. Let NO immigration Bill come before the House until the foregoing nine Conditions are satisfied.
Most House Members have not yet made up their minds. Visit or Call them (phone calls or office visits followed by letters are the most effective – fax machines can be turned off and emails disregarded) and tell them to Vote NO on any and all Immigration Bills, Good or Bad!!
Make full use of the ‘Talking Points’ in CCN’s Alerts posted this year on our website, except that, for now, forget pushing an Immigration Moratorium, because any Bill coming to the floor of the House is an accident waiting to happen.
