DON'T LET CONGRESS PASS THIS IMMIGRATION BILL!

I implore you, I beg you--DON'T LET CONGRESS PASS THIS BILL!

Despite what Bush says and the fractured Democratic Congress is trying to sell us, this immigration legislation is nothing more than amnesty. Plain and simple.

If this bill passes, it will open the floodgates to every illegal on this planet who wants to flock to the New World without having to worry about breaking the law--like their 12 million illegal counterparts have been doing since Reagan passed his amnesty bill in 1986. (For those of us who are old enough to remember.)

Just imagine it would be like to having our borders wide open to a flood of people who see us as easy pickings--because both our Democratic-led Congress and our foolish cheesebanger of a President want to grant these law-breakers a free pass for the rest of their lives.

Think I'm joking? They aren't. They want this bill to pass. One side wants cheap labor, the other side wants families to stay together. And together--both sides don't give a darn about what you--the American taxpayer--thinks.

This is all about Big Business and what Corporate America desperately wants. With a flood of illegal immigrants to choose from, our jobs go bye-bye. So does our Social Security (what's left of it), and our overburdened healthcare system.

State governments would be overwhelmed by the thousands of applicants vying for state services already strained to the breaking point from a lack of finances and qualified people. Our federal government would be crushed by the tidal wave of applicants wanting in on our social programs designed to help out the poor, the elderly, and the disabled.

Forget 2025--when 192 million immigrants are forecast to be in this country; illegally or not.

Think of the next three years--when each of us wakes up and discovers that what we had before...

No longer exists.

Because this bill passed.
