POPULATION-ENVIRONMENT BALANCE ACTION ALERT

Imminent illegal alien amnesty threat

Bush, Vicente Fox, and Congressional leaders readying a push for amnesty of millions of illegal aliens, while American unemployment is at a record high and the pink-slips keep coming.

Alert: This amnesty will likely be disguised as "migratory agreement", "regularization", section 245(i) extension or attached to a guestworker bill.

The immigration numbers have not slowed in the face of record 6% unemployment, a 40% poverty level in immigrant households, or even by new national security measures.

Thanks to this annual 2 million legal and illegal immigrant flow, U.S. population keeps growing even as state and local budgets max-out, hospitals go bankrupt, and millions of citizens are left out in the cold.

Our challenge: Defeat population-expanding, resource-depleting, and wage-depressing 245(i) and other amnesties COLD!

The best defense against an illegal alien amnesty is a strong offense.

BALANCE pushes the best offense in an immigration moratorium (similar to the 107th Congress's H.R. 2712). A five year moratorium on all legal immigration in excess of 100,000 a year (the highest number that would ever allow the population of the United States to eventually stabilize) is the best legislation for reducing immigration. It is necessary to achieve immigration reduction now in order to protect the environment over the long term by putting the U.S. on the road for population stabilization.

BALANCE and our activists' insistence on a moratorium is the most effective stance to face down amnesties, and stop the self-serving Open Borders Lobby in their tracks.

So let's leave the Open Borders Lobby out in the cold:

ACT NOW!

1. Mail and fax letters, e-mail, and call the White House, your U.S. Senators and Congressional Representative and tell them YOU WILL NOT SUPPORT A 245(i) AMNESTY, OR ANY OTHER AMNESTY. Urge them to kill any "migratory agreements" or "regularization" proposals.

2. Ask your Senators and Representative to cosponsor an immigration moratorium on all legal immigration in excess of 100,000 a year, and in so doing creates great downward pressure on the numbers and against amnesties at the same time.

3. Write letters to the editor against any pro-amnesty stance! Let us know how your doing by sending us clippings or copies of your published letters.

It is important to ask your representatives to support a moratorium because its comprehensive character sends the inclusive messages:

– The U.S.A. is full –
We want no more bills, however named, increasing immigration
– We want no more mass immigration –

You will multiply your impact if you lobby for a moratorium as well as against any and all amnesties.
