Why Are 35 Radio Talk Show Hosts and Hundreds of Their Listeners Going to be in Washington to Discuss Immigration?

Radio Personalities, Members of Congress, FAIR, to Hold Press Conference

Demanding Immigration Enforcement without a Guest Worker Amnesty

    WASHINGTON, April 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While illegal aliens
 and their supporters take to the streets to demand amnesty and other
 benefits, ordinary Americans take to the radio airwaves to express their
 anger at their government's failure to enforce laws against illegal
 immigration.
     During the week of April 22, the radio airwaves of America, along with
 hundreds of listeners from all across the country, are coming to
 Washington, D.C., as part of the Hold Their Feet to the Fire event, to make
 sure that the president and Congress hear them loud and clear. Thirty-five
 leading talk radio hosts, reaching millions of listeners all across the
 United States, will be broadcasting from a Capitol Hill hotel, focusing on
 one topic -- immigration enforcement -- while ordinary citizens fan out
 across Capitol Hill to meet with every member of Congress.
     The message from talk radio will be a simple one: Enforce our nation's
 borders; crackdown on employers who hire illegal aliens; end all
 non-emergency benefits and services to illegal aliens. Above all the
 message of Hold Their Feet to the Fire is, NO AMNESTY, NO NEW GUEST WORKER
 PROGRAMS.
     The 35 radio talk show hosts, along with leading members of Congress,
 the wives of two imprisoned Border Patrol officers, and the Federation for
 American Immigration Reform (FAIR), will hold a Capitol Hill Press
 Conference Tuesday April 24 to discuss Hold Their Feet to the Fire and the
 grassroots national effort true immigration enforcement that does not
 reward illegal aliens, or undermine America's embattled middle class, and
 the release of Border Patrol Officers Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso
 Compean.
