Reply #6: they ripped out the immigration reforms recommended by the 9/11 commission [View All]

[Robert Oak]

Here is an action item.

Calls Needed Immediately to House Speaker Hastert
almost all of the immigration reform provisions were removed from H.R. 10/ S.2845. As you know, House Conferee Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) has been a vocal advocate for including the House identification security provisions in the final bill and has held out against stubborn opposition from Senate conferees. We now know that House Speaker Hastert has given the ok to removing those provisions. A vote on the conference report, without those important immigration reforms, will take place later today. Rep. Sensenbrenner is expected to oppose the watered-down bill - but he needs your help.



Immediate Action Needed:
Please Call House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) (202-225-0600)

Identify your call as pertaining to the conference currently underway to iron out legislative differences between the House and Senate bills to implement the 9/11 Commission recommendations, H.R.10 and S. 2845.

Leave a message saying you are extremely disappointed that the House has caved in to pressure from the Senate and open-borders groups. This is a sellout of the hard work done by 9/11 families to make America more secure. All of the immigration reform provisions came from the 9/11 report.
