Last Shot for Border Security
We Need 2 Million Strong

LAST SHOT FOR BORDER SECURITY!
Don't Give Up Now!!
We Need 2 Million Voices Strong!!!

Today the Senate took a major step toward Amnesty by casting their first vote in favor of cloture. A final cloture vote is expected Thursday opening wide the floodgates of Amnesty! We MUST stop this final cloture vote from advancing a devastating Immigration Bill to the Senate floor for a vote!

“The Senate is playing Russian roulette with our nation by invoking cloture and promoting amnesty,” says Chris Simcox, founder and President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. “They are putting a gun to the head of America’s national security and repeatedly pulling the trigger, gambling against the odds that these United States can somehow sustain indefinitely their political games-playing without taking a fatal injury. “

There continues to be more maneuvering behind the scenes as we, the taxpayers and legal voting citizens, have been dismissed and ignored.

We cannot rest! We are keeping alert and are wary of the "voting tricks" of the Senate, so we need to keep the pressure on to have BORDER SECURITY FIRST, BORDER SECURITY NOW!

We need 2 Million Voices Strong!

Your commitment is required to see this through. We need 2 Million people committed to Border Security; to relentlessly fill the offices, flood the phone lines, and shut down the fax machines of all 100 Senators and those who line their pockets!

Here are a few Key Senators and their affiliated Party Chairs. Remind them that this cloture vote will not only be remembered in the voting booth, but your donation for their party fundraising can no longer be counted on!

CHRIS SIMCOX AND CARMEN MERCER CONTINUE TO LEAD
THE FIGHT TO RESIST THE SENATE AMNESTY SELL-OUT,
AND PUSH TO A REAL FENCE ON OUR NATION’S BORDERS

President Bush cuts another backroom deal to hand out 100 million instant amnesties, in exchange for a $4.4 billion empty promise payoff of “virtual” Border Security to RINOs!

Reid pushes for votes this weekend to ramrod Amnesty Bill… threatens to work through July 4 recess to pass Amnesty Bill and enforce open-borders agenda.

Reid said in an effort to finish the Amnesty Bill by July 4th the Senate is to take up the bill immediately.  He told Senators they will miss votes on the weekend and is telling the Senate the odds are tremendous that they will work this weekend, and the final votes are expected Tuesday.

CHRIS SIMCOX CONTINUES TO LEAD THE FIGHT TO RESIST AMNESTY SELL-OUT AND BUILD PHYSICAL FENCE ON OUR NATION’S BORDERS

Chris Simcox, President and Founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) returned to Washington, DC along with Carmen Mercer Vice President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to meet with Members of the Senate and House and their staffs in an effort to encourage Congress to resist calls for cloture (ending of debate), and to execute the border security provisions of the 2006 Secure Fence Act, whose funding has already been appropriated, but not spent.  Simcox is also meeting with U.S. House sponsors of the newly introduced Secure Borders First Act.

According to the Los Angeles Times 6/19/07, “In a sharp rebuke to President Bush, House Republicans today introduced their own immigration reform and border security bill, a tough measure that would bar illegal immigrants from gaining legal status, require employers to check the legal status of all workers and make English the nation's official language... The Secure Borders First Act stresses operational control over the border as one of its core principles. The bill would reject ‘amnesty’ and insist that the administration do more to enforce existing laws.”

According to the Times, “The lawmakers behind the bill also introduced a seven-page resolution detailing the myriad ways in which they believe the Bush administration and its predecessors have not only failed to implement immigration laws, but made it easier for illegal immigrants to live and work in the U.S.”

“This is more like it,” says Chris Simcox, founder and President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.  “MCDC has been stalwart in advocating border security be implemented immediately with funds that have already been allocated to the Department of Homeland Security’s treasury—and rejecting the Bush administration and Senate’s duplicitous calls for massive hypothetical spending from hypothetical billions of new dollars for ‘virtual’ border security schemes tied to amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.”

The Minutemen have just spent more than six weeks increasing constituent pressure on Capitol Hill since the introduction of Senate Bill 1348.  With 92 chapters nationwide, their organizational efforts have included meeting with Members of Congress, e-mail blasts, fax blasts, phone banking, rallies, print, radio and television advertisements encouraging citizens to contact their elected officials as well as informing all 50 Republican State Chairmen that passage of amnesty legislation will have a deleterious effect upon Republican candidate support during the 2008 election cycle.

Simcox concludes, “When will our elected officials realize that if the Mexican government drops off five bus loads of people at the border, the virtual fencing will do nothing to stop their entry…  All we will have with the Senate sell-out is a trajectory for thousands more illegal aliens jumping our border every day, as we hand out unearned American citizenship like candy.”

Minutemen and citizens are taking action all across the nation!

REMEMBER:

Senators Trent Lott, Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell are the Sell-Out Masters, joined by co-conspirators Republican Senators John Kyl and John McCain, who are collaborating with Democrat leaders Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy to foist this dangerous bill onto our nation.

These five Republican Sell-Outs went behind closed doors for a fourth time to bring a version of this unconstitutional bill back like a never-ending nightmare to the Senate floor -- against the clear will of the overwhelming majority of the American people.

BE SURE TO CONTACT ALL YOUR OWN STATES' SENATORS' DISTRICT AND DC OFFICES:

Tell them you DEMAND your Senators oppose Amnesty for illegals and VOTE NO ON CLOTURE for S. 1348, S. 1639, or whatever they are calling their Amnesty Bill! The federal government MUST enforce our existing immigration laws before considering or passing ANY reform legislation.  THE BORDER MUST BE SECURED WITH BARRIER FENCE AND EFFECTIVE LEVELS OF U.S. AGENT BORDER PATROLS.  Americans are going to hold protests outside of any Senator's office who votes YES on CLOTURE for any version of these Amnesty bills.

TELL THEM NO ON CLOTURE. INSIST THAT A YES VOTE ON CLOTURE IS A VOTE FOR
AMNESTY.

President John F. Kennedy said it best: “ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU; ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY.”  Volunteer to help guard the border with your time and talent. 

Are the politicians providing border security? No, it’s a SELL-OUT! MINUTEMEN HAVE BEEN ON PATROL FOR FOUR YEARS TO SHOW THE FEDS WHAT REAL BORDER SECURITY LOOKS LIKE!

Senate Bill S 1348!  A disgrace!  More red tape.  More bureaucracy.  More “Talk.”

Kennedy-McCain joins the Jon Kyl coalition plotting to STOP any amendments from "deal-breaker" changes that would sap its support

The Senate Continues to Bypass We-The-People

On Monday the Senate bypassed the people and forced an Amnesty First bill to the floor.  A select group of Senators will hold daily meetings starting Tuesday to determine whether proposed revisions would sink what they are calling their "grand bargain."

Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) Vice President, Carmen Mercer, and Tony Dolz from CA are being joined by MCDC volunteers on Capitol Hill all week during this CRITICAL TIME of DEBATE telling Senators to Secure the Border First say NO to AMNESTY and NEVER to SPP.

The bill is being criticized from every direction including the Minutemen, U.S. Border Patrol, Labor Unions, Hispanic Groups, Presidential Candidates and even many politicians.   

Heritage Foundation scholar Robert Rector estimates the bill's price tag at a potential $2.5 Trillion with a Capitol Hill "T"

Rector states that “Granting amnesty or conditional amnesty to illegal immigrants would increase their use of welfare, Social Security and Medicare. Fiscal costs would go up significantly in the short term but would go up dramatically after the amnesty recipient reached retirement. If all the current adult illegal aliens in the U.S. were granted amnesty the net retirement costs to government could be over $2.5 trillion.”

The bill is not even completely written and now the Senate feeling the heat puts off final action on the deal until June trying to stop any opposition from making changes to the incomplete legislation.

Millions of Americans are demanding real border security, while our President, Chertoff and the U.S. Commerce Secretary join with open border lobbyists and liberal Senators to cut deals in a smoke-filled back room and give BLANKET AMNESTY to 12 million illegal alien intruders! 

Kennedy says President Bush will sign the bill. While McCain keeps hiding his open borders mania from the GOP rank-and-file on the White House campaign trail, he’s behind Ted Kennedy all the way on the illegal alien AMNESTY SELL-OUT.  Add Arlen Specter as a RINO leader helping Dems and President Bush push forward an “immigration overhaul” that would grant IMMEDIATE legal status or AMNESTY to virtually all 12 million illegal aliens confirmed to be already in the U.S.—plus countless more to come through on this new welcome mat—and border security is an empty promise!

The battle is on in the Senate!

“Secure the Border First” is the issue.  Do not let this important national security debate in Washington become instead an “AMNESTY-FEST” with the security of our nation hi-jacked by alien gangs and derailed with Z-cards. The Amnesty-Bill reportedly calls for security measures to be promised, enacted and evaluated over the next 18 months, and 350 miles of border fence and cameras to be authorized.  Similar promises have been made before, but never followed through on with real enactment.  ENFORCEMENT FIRST!  NO AMNESTY FOR LAWBREAKERS!  DO NOT HAND OUT ID CARDS to illegals until the border is secured! 

SAY NO to ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY
and YES to BORDER SECURITY FIRST

Senators Cornyn and De Mint walk away from the sell-out!

Well, at least SOME folks have a good head on their shoulders!  It looks like Sen. John Cornyn doesn’t want anything to do with the President’s deal to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and neither does Sen. Jim DeMint.

• Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC): "This rewards people who broke the law with permanent legal status, and puts them ahead of millions of law-abiding immigrants waiting to come to America" (mult., 5/17).

And on the U.S. House side:

• Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI): "I think the bill stinks" ("Evening News," CBS, 5/17).
• Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO): "Here's the bottom line ... that, if you are in this country illegally today, this moment, you will be able to stay under this bill" ("PZN," CNN, 5/17).
• Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), asked if the new immigration bill will stop illegal immigration: "I don't think it will, because the bill cuts my fence in half. ... You have to put that fence in place." ("Hardball," MSNBC, 5/17).

Take action NOW and keep the pressure on!

Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina has said it most bluntly, “We’re gonna tell the BIGOTS to SHUT UP”!  If you believe in border security first, HE MEANS YOU!

DO NOT BE SILENCED BY ANYONE –
STAND UP! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
