Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill Update
To: Roger
1. Calculating the cost of amnesty
2. Vitter Amendment to strike amnesty
3. Action Items
Roger,
Two important updates and action items:
1. Calculating the Cost of amnesty
Heritage Foundation is projecting that it will cost U.S. taxpayers
an estimated ((((((($2.4 TRILLION dollars to covert the retirement costs
of illegal aliens who get amnesty under this new bill.)))))))))))
But that's just the beginning. Each year, low-skilled illegal
alien households cost our society about $20,000. That's because
low-skilled immigrant households consume 3 dollars in government
services for every 1 dollar they pay in taxes (2004 -- received
$30,160 in govt benefits and paid just $10,573 in taxes).
Add together the annual costs, the retirement costs and the unknown
costs of implementing the amnesty program and rest assured the total
cost to U.S. taxpayers will be multiple trillions of dollars!
Senators like Teddy Kennedy love to spend our money. In fact, they
don't even bother to stop and estimate how much of our taxes they
are spending!
2. Sen. Vitter proposes amendment to strip amnesty provisions
Sen. David Vitter has offered an amendment that would strip all of
the "Z-Amnesty" provisions from the bill. Last year, he offered a
similar bill that was defeated. Although we expect this amendment
will also be defeated, it will help us see which senators truly
oppose amnesty.
3. Action Items
Action #1 --Call Your Senators
We are asking Grassfire team members to call their Senators and
express your outrage over this amnesty bill -- both in principle
and in practical costs to the American people.
1. I am outraged that the Senate is going to give amnesty to illegal
aliens.
2. Amnesty is wrong and will cost U.S. taxpayers over $2.4 trillion.
3. I urge you to vote against S. 1348
Sen. Brownback (202) 224-6521
Sen. Roberts 202-224-4774
Plus these key senators:
tester: 202-224-2644
McCaskill: 202-224-6154
Klobuchar: 202-224-3244
Corker: 202-224-3344
Webb: 202-224-4024
Casey: 202-224-6324

Landrieu: 202-224-5824
Lugar: 202-224-4814
Warner: 202-224-2023
Action #2 -- Field Reports
We still need field reports from nearly all the states. Grassfire's
Vote count (based on these reports and other issues) still shows many
members officially undecided on the bill. Go here to review reports
from your state and to file reports on your calls:

Thanks for the stand you are taking to stop amnesty and secure our
borders!

I have a feeling they are fully aware of our objections to this
invasion, but it seems they don't really give a rip.0 -
Exactly. There have been so many polls that showed that majority of Americans (or those waiting to become Americans) aren't too happy with proposed changes, but what are we to them, just some brain dead herd that voted them in... 0
