Ten Republican Senators have gone on record to express their disappointment with the immigration related amendments added to the Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill.
Dear Majority Leader Reid:
We write to express disappointment that the Senate Appropriations Committee chose to include in the War Supplemental more than 100 pages of immigration language that would grant legal status to more than one million illegal alien agricultural workers and their families. We urge you to remove these controversial provisions from the bill so we can enact essential funding for our troops without delay. If these provisions remain in the bill, you can expect a vigorous debate on immigration policy.
The letter was signed by:
Charles Grassley(R-IA), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), David Vitter (R-LA), Tom Coburn (R-OK), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), James Inhofe(R-OK), John Barrasso (R-WY), Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), and Jim Bunning (R-KY).
I quite proud that Georgia’s Senators represent 1/5th of that group. All of these senators should be commended for their willingness to stand up for their constituents.
The Senate started discussion of the Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill last night, and the amendments for the bill could come up for discussion and vote at any time. It is imperative that you contact your senators right now. Do not wait.
Senator Vitter will be introducing his own amendment in the morning. His amendment will simply strike all of the immigration amnesty language from the bill.
You must take a moment out of your day to let your Senators know that you do not support amnesty for illegal immigrants. Let them know that you are watching them and the vote on this bill by contacting your senators or sending them a fax. Please hurry, before it’s too late.
