As I reported earlier, Senator Feinstein decided she wanted to try to sneak the AgJobs legislation into the Iraw War Supplemental Spending Bill. What one had to do with the other nobody knows, but she apparently considers the need for AgJobs an \”emergency situation\”. Nevermind that she\’s been trying to pass it for over a year now and the world has yet to end despite no AgJobs legislation.
Nevermind that there is no need for any sort of AgJobs legislation. Feinstein is determined to grant amnesty to illegal aliens no matter what it takes. Even if it hurts American workers.
Even Senator Robert \”KKK\” Byrd recognizes this legislation for what it is :
\”No matter how one characterizes it, this enormous amendment still amounts to amnesty,\” said Chairman Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.). \”I oppose amnesty. All these immigration issues should be addressed through the regular order.\”
The next step is that the War Supplemental Bill will be heard before the Senate, probably next week. It\’s possibly this can still be turned around and/or it\’s possible that this bill will be defeated because of the amnesty proposal that has been added to it.
What you need to do is call your Senators, let them know you don\’t want AgJobs in the War Supplemental Spending Bill, although she is calling the most recent version of this monstrosity the \”Emergency Agriculture Relief Act\”. While the text is slightly different than original AgJobs it essentially boils down to the same thing….only it\’s slightly more temporary. Mostly it\’s an attempt to offer temporary amnesty until permanent amnesty can be achieved.
It\’s time to let our Senators we don\’t want ANY amnesty….give your Senator a call!
