Mark Pryor & Blanche Lincoln pushing hyper-amnesty

Senators Pryor and Lincoln voted for cloture and to proceed with consideration of the hush-&-rush immigration bill. They have thereby tipped their hats on this issue, and it's time to hold their feet to the fire. We need to change the (predicted) votes of just 18 senators, and two of them are from Arkansas.

Don't fall for the "citizenship" distraction. Even now, a foreigner does not have to be a citizen to reside in the U.S. lawfully (e.g., one can be here on a visa, or be a permanent resident-- forever able to live and work here). And you can rest assured that the Kennedy / Kyl / McCain immigration bill will make the current crop of illegals 'lawful' whether or not they ever jump through some new hoops in order to become citizens. Citizenship or not, unless these lawbreakers are required to leave the country and get in line behind those who have patiently trusted justice and our rule-of-law, we will have rewarded the illegal aliens for violating our laws. That is worse than amnesty. Call Sen. Mark Pryor first-- he's up for election next year (please be cordial, and don't threaten): (202)-224-2353. Sen. Blanche Lincoln: (202)-224-4843. If you call next week, they may be in Arkansas and their in-state numbers are toll free: Sen. Pryor: 877-259-9602. Sen. Lincoln: 800-352-9364.
