As the Senate movesquickly to pass its latest attempt to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens through the so-called "Dream Act", Grassfire.org is launching a
major grassroots and multi-media effort to kill the bill.
"The Dream Act is really a 'Nightmare Amnesty Bill," says Steve
Elliott, President of Grassfire.org, one of the organizations that lead the
grassroots effort that defeated the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill. "In many
ways this bill is worse than Bush-Kennedy because this is blatant deception
on the part of the Senate to get a massive amnesty passed." Short list of
the Dream Act's amnesty provisions:
-- Gives amnesty to any illegal alien claiming to have arrived in the U.S.
prior to age 16.
-- Any illegal alien can apply, no matter the current age.
-- Amnesty recipients can then sponsor family members, creating a massive
"anchor teen" loophole that puts amnesty within the reach of millions
-- Illegal aliens who apply cannot be deported.
-- Illegals can get taxpayer-funded in-state tuition rates, meaning your
tax dollars will pay for illegals to go to college!
Elliott says grassroots groups including Grassfire.org have been
preparing for this new amnesty push. "We knew this was coming and we are
ready," says Elliott. "Today we are launching a nationwide fax and phone
campaign that will result in hundreds of thousands of personal contacts to
the Senate. Plus, in a few days we will be releasing a new ad in our
'Where's The Fence?' ad series that specifically addresses this new amnesty
push."
