Senate Committee Passes Amnesty
On a 17-12 vote this afternoon, the Senate Appropriations Committee added Sen. Feinstein’s ag amnesty to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. This bill could come up for a vote before the full Senate tomorrow. They have done this in total disregard of the overwhelming majority of the people.
This is an outrageous act of disrespect for our men and women in uniform and to the citizens of this country by attaching an illegal-alien amnesty to the Iraq spending bill. Senators should be encouraged to vote and work to strip the amnesty from the Iraq spending bill on the floor.
Your Senator can still vote NO and send the bill back to committee if the amnesty is NOT stripped. This is typical of how the Democratic Congress has traded lives for their pet projects. Every phone of every Senator should be ringing off the hook. 202-224-3121
There is no need for an amnesty to provide growers with workers. There already is an H-2A foreign ag worker program that provides growers with an unlimited number of temporary workers if the growers agree to pay a decent wage and ensure that they go home at the end of the season. Feinstein is just trying to protect the abysmally low wages and bad working conditions that farm workers labor under.
