Failed Freshmen

Even on Independence Day week I have to ask you to take a few minutes to protect your own pursuit of happiness because industry titans like Rupert Murdoch, Jack Welch and Michael Bloomberg are waging an all-out effort right now for mass immigration policies that will add huge new burdens on taxpayers while restricting the freedom of millions of Americans to earn a decent living like the Obama Health Care Tax.

This is especially clear after widespread news reports of their meeting this last week with Mitt Romney in which they decried his immigration stances (for immigration enforcement and against mass amnesties) and demanded that he change them. It isn't just the presumed Republican presidential nominee whom they are trying to bully into open-borders positions. This type of men have gigantic influence on both Parties in the little 100-member club known as the U.S. Senate, which I was told yesterday by one insider is nearing majority, bi-partisan consensus to INCREASE foreign labor importation even as unemployment is rising again.

On this July 4th, Rupert Murdoch & pals are working for open-borders policies that'll make 'life, liberty and pursuit of happiness' ever more difficult for most Americans. Only you can stop them. https://www.numbersusa.com/content/about-us.html

Freshman congressmen who failed July 4th test

In 2010, they ran as freshmen who would challenge the status quo, but done nothing to stop immigration from harming jobless Americans. Most of the huge crop of new Republican Members of Congress has done nothing to fight the immigration status quo that forces millions of Americans to be unemployed, struggling to support their families. Oh, these freshmen were full of vim and vinegar when they were running to replace the stale congressional veterans in 2010. Jobs for Americans was supposedly going to be their "job No. 1" when they got to Congress.

Instead, they have stood by as the government issued permanent work permits to nearly 2 million more immigrants. And they have failed to support Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith in his effort to mandate E-Verify to open up jobs held by more than 7 million illegal aliens. Look below the action box to see the list of flaccid politicians who have spent their freshman term allowing foreign workers both legal and illegal to be a higher priority of government that the unemployed in your state.

House Speaker Boehner has refused to bring any immigration bills to the floor (and even has barred nearly all immigration amendments). It is most important that Congress put pressure Speaker Boehner to bring immigration enforcement and reduction bills to the floor of the House for a vote to start putting more Americans back to work.
