September 20 National Call-In Day!
National Immigrant
Solidarity Network
On Wednesday September 20, the U.S. House
will be discuss and voting several racist anti-immigrant legislation (see
above). After last week the passage of last week's (9/14) Secure Fence Act of
2006 H.R. 6061 (The Final
Vote Rall Call). The anti-immigrant forces in Washington D.C. want to push
their enforcement-only immigrant bills (see above) before November election.
First House votes, then the Senate vote, and the possbility push for Conference
Committee and finalize the Bill for President Bush to sign. Therefore, we need
to waste no time to mobilize to stop it!
On Wednesday September 20, we urge you to CALL, FAX AND
MAIL your elected officials, SAY NO TO THE RACIST ANTI-IMMIGRANT BILLS:
H.R. 4844 - Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006
("Voter ID bill")
H.R. 6089 - Illegal Immigrant Deterrence Act
H.R. 6090 - Immigration Enforcement Act
H.R. 6091 - Border Security Enhancement Act
Talking Point (by: New American Opportunity Campaign)
"Congress should stop the piecemeal,
enforcement-only approach to immigration reform. I support a comprehensive bill
that reunites families, legalizes the undocumented population, and provides
future immigrants with a safe and legal way to live and work in the U.S."
or we'll not vote for you at the November election!

The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday (9/14) voted in favor of building a fence along portions of the border with Mexico, the Secure Fence Act (H.R. 6061), this is no doubt a racist anti-immigrant bill, the vote had more to do with election year politics than solving immigration issues.
The Republican-written bill, approved
on a vote of 283-138, calls for construction of about 700 miles of fence along
the 2,000-mile border with Mexico, includes:
- 361 miles from Calexico, California to Douglas, Arizona
- 176 miles from Laredo to Brownsville, Texas
- 51 miles from Del Rio to Eagle Pass, Texas
- 88 miles from El Paso, Texas to Columbus, New Mexico
- 22 miles in Tecate, California near San Diego
The anti-immigrant forces in the
Congress, understand they cannot finalize the anti-immigrant legislation to
become the law this year, so they are trying to appeal to the "fears"
of people, the measure was a charade designed to help Republicans ahead of the
November 7 elections.
National Immigrant Solidarity Network will call for a conference call very soon
to discuss the strategies how we can responds to this before the November
election.
Please stay turned!
