9/27 National Call-In ACT NOW To Stop the Fence Bill
Dear Immigrant Rights Advocate
UPDATE
Good News:
No enforcement bills (like the three "new" Sensenbrenner initiatives) were
attached to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations
conference report. This means that when the must-pass appropriations bill is
voted on
in the House and Senate it WILL NOT contain the Sensenbrenner enforcement
language. See _http://www.aila.com/content/default.aspx?docid=20673_
(http://www.aila.com/content/default.aspx?docid=20673) for details.
Bad News:
1. Senate Majority Leader Frist (R-TN) made a procedural move (filed for
cloture) that ties the Secure Fence Act and the military tribunals bill
together. The SENATE VOTE on the Secure Fence Act could take place this
Thursday,
September 28th.
(See _http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=20533_
(http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=20533) for a summary of the
Secure Fence
Act.)
2. Speaker Hastert (R-IL) is insisting that the Community Protection Act
(the "Gang Bill") be attached to the Department of Defense Authorization
Bill.
It is unclear at this point if the Senate will go along with this proposal.
3. Funding for border security is still included in the DHS appropriations
conference report.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Participate in this urgent National Call-in Day on Wednesday, September
27.
-- Ask your Senators to vote NO on the Secure Fence Act, H.R. 6061.
-- Tell your Senators that the enforcement-only approach taken by the House
of Representatives will only make the immigration situation worse. Ask them
to support a comprehensive approach to immigration reform.
-- Tell your Senators that enforcement-only provisions should not be
attached to unrelated bills, such as spending bills or the Defense Department
Authorization.
Find your Senators and their phone numbers at
_http://www.facts-online.org/naoc_/leg-lookup/search.tcl_
(http://www.facts-online.org/naoc_/leg-lookup/search.tcl) . You can also call
the Congressional switchboard to be connected to
their offices: (202) 224-3121.
Forward this Action Alert and urge your friends, family, and co-workers to
make phone calls until the Senate votes.
