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
