Tell Your Two Senators to Oppose Cloture on the CJS Appropriations Bill Unless the Vitter Census Amendment Receives a Vote
As you know, the U.S. Census is taken every ten years, and the next one is set to be conducted in 2010. The census is critically important because it determines the reapportionment of the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes for each state. But, for the very first time, the Census Bureau's questionnaire (which is sent to American households) lacks the simple question: Are you a citizen of the United States of America?
The omission of a citizenship or legal-status question is problematic because the census is the only way to get an accurate count of how many illegal aliens are residing in the United States. By counting citizens and non-citizens alike for congressional reapportionment purposes, the federal government is doing a massive disservice to those states with lower illegal immigrant populations and it is rewarding those states with larger illegal immigrant populations with additional congressional seats. The Vitter amendment (offered to the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations bill, H.R. 2847) would simply require that the census form include an additional question asking the legal and citizenship status of those being counted.
Using the U.S. Census Bureau's 2008 American Community Survey (ACS) estimates, the following states are projected to lose congressional seats to states like California and Texas, who have larger illegal resident populations:Indiana
Iowa
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
Oregon
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
It is in the interest of the American people that Congress does everything in its power to ensure the integrity of our republic and of our elections. We are counting on you to make sure your Senators feel the pressure.
TAKE ACTION!
The Vitter amendment has now been pending for over 2 weeks, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is maneuvering to bring this bill to a vote again (as it has already failed once) in hopes to block the Vitter amendment.We ask that you begin calling both of your Senators and tell them to oppose cloture on the CJS Appropriations bill (H.R. 2847) unless the Vitter Census Amendment is allowed to receive a vote. Last week, the Senate failed to invoke cloture (motion to proceed to a final vote) on this bill. Please call your Senators and tell them that we need this important amendment today!
A vote for cloture is a vote against the Vitter Census Amendment!

As I perceive it the hardest place to install E-Verify, 287 G, or even directing ICE to raid employers is Sanctuary Cities and even States? CALIFORNIA seems to be the epitome of Sanctuary States, but it is estimated to be 127 cities and towns that ignore the US government. San Francisco and Los Angeles stands out as being Sanctuary cities where it's mayors Galvin Newsom and Antonio R. Villaraigosa, along with an compliment of police departments who have cultivated over the years a refuge for the impoverished illegal immigrants, illegal criminal of other countries. Very few businesses have enforced E-Verify, because at this time there is no mandatory law, except for federal contractors/subcontractors. Sen. Sessions has at this time been the fortress against illegal immigration through the Bush and now President Obama administrations. He is determined to adjoin E-Verify as a permanent amendment to the Senate Unemployment benefit extension bill H.R.3548 for 14 weeks. In the same amendment Sen. Sessions would require new applicants for unemployment compensation to have their citizenship status verified using E-Verify. The computer software program E-Verify could also be used for identifying applicants for drivers licenses, automotive insurance, all health care benefits, real estate purchases and mortgage and of course ineligible workers. Even the Public option if enacted in health care could be used to verify all positive recipients and over time become a very sophisticated matrix of data bases to reject ineligible applicants for government benefits.
ReplyDeleteSenate leaders are currently negotiating which amendments will be considered for the bill, and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is trying to prevent a vote on the amendment altogether. E-Verify is becoming a significant potent weapon against illegal immigration in the ongoing battle. It has come under constant legal bombardment by a long list of open border organizations, including the US chamber of Commerce. E-Verify however remains intact, although other enforcement tools such as 287 G, has been weakened by Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano. Without millions of dollars being appropriated, E-Verify on a continuous basis can eradicate illegal labor for pennies. No need for mass deportation as E-Verify will streamline removal of foreign nationals, owing to parasite businesses will be in incessant fear of being fined or sentenced to a prison term if apprehended by ICE for using illegal workers. As with 2010 census? Those who entered without--THE PEOPLE'S--permission, have violated our laws, and should not, must not be allowed to be enumerated in the decennial census? Is Washington so sure that they will pass this 2nd Amnesty, when Ted Kennedy previous comprehensive immigration reform turned into fraudulent travesty?
Ordinary American workers have become watchdogs for suspicious activity in the working environment. My blogs, comments and articles are limited in information, but keep this issue under public scrutiny. For more details of malevolent politicians who need to be constantly reminded who they work for? For immigration enforcement grading NUMBERSUSA. To light a fire under nonchalant politicians who are selling American workers futures to highest bidder contact WASHINGTON at 202-224-3121 As easily as you voted for these people, you can vote them OUT? Demand NO--MORE--AMNESTIES. Rebuild a two-tier Southern border fence as originally intended. TELL THEM YOU WANT PERMANENT E-VERIFY FOR EVERY WORKER, WHO’S ON A PAYROLL. STAND WITH SEN. SESSIONS. Study the corruption in every level of government at JUDICIAL WATCH. Read about unstoppable OVERPOPULATION GROWTH at CAPSWEB.
