Triggers in Amnesty Bill Called 'Bogus and Offensive to American Citizens'

New Plan Automatically Grants Illegal Aliens Legal Status Before Triggers

Are Even Considered

    MAXWELL, Iowa, May 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Grassfire.org
 President Steve Elliott released the following statement regarding the new
 Bush-Senate amnesty plan:
     "The Bush-Senate Z-Amnesty plan is 100 percent amnesty. It immediately
 offers legal status to every illegal alien in this country, which by
 definition is amnesty. It creates a clear path to citizenship and illegals
 do not even have to "touch back" to their home countries to stay in the
 U.S. indefinitely.
     "In addition, the so-called 'triggers' are bogus and offensive to
 American citizens. In fact, illegals are granted legal status before
 triggers are even considered. We know that once the 'camel's nose is in the
 tent,' there will be no stopping this process, no matter what 'triggers'
 are included in this bill.
     "I am personally outraged and we are already hearing from grassroots
 Americans who feel betrayed by the president and the Senate. Our team
 members have already delivered over 792,000 faxes and petitions to Congress
 opposing amnesty and I anticipate even more outrage in the next few days."
     Grassfire.org summary of Bush-Senate amnesty bill:
 
     1. Creates almost immediate legal status for 12-20 million illegals.
 
     2. Provides clear three-step path to citizenship for 12-20 million
        illegals.
 
     3. Allows current illegals to stay legally in our country indefinitely.
 
     4. Does not require a "touch back" to obtain Z-visa
        (only for Green Card app).
 
     5. Gives illegals healthcare/education benefits and back credit for
        Social Security wages.
 
     6. Creates new Temporary Worker "Y-Visa" program with unlimited totals.
 
     7. Legal status granted to illegals BEFORE TRIGGERS so triggers are
        meaningless.
     Grassfire is conducting a major fax/phone/petition campaign opposing
 the amnesty plan. For more information about Grassfire.org, or to schedule
