Americans of both parties prefer immigration policies that protect
American workers, oppose Executive Amnesty
Opposition to President Obama's threat of an Executive Amnesty for
possibly millions of illegal aliens continued to heat up this week as
many of you faxed, phoned, and visited district offices of your Members
of Congress. Your efforts were further validated by a barrage of media
stories reporting on a new blockbuster poll released by National
pollster and GOP advisor Kellyanne Conway confirming that a majority of
Americans of both political parties agree with you. In fact,
Americans are unequivocal in their
support for immigration policies that protect the American worker.
This new poll constitutes a stunning rebuke of President Obama's plan to
unilaterally amnesty illegal workers and expand immigration at a time
when 18 million Americans can't find full-time jobs.
Their (voters) sentiment is the inverse of the oft-repeated phrase,
'illegal immigrants do the jobs that Americans don't want to do,'
saying instead that these workers should have a fair opportunity to
do the jobs that illegal immigrants currently do
-- Kellyanne Conway
Yahoo, The Washington Times, Politico, and a host of other media outlets
reported on the findings of the poll. Talk radio host Laura Ingraham
said the poll "should stand as a beacon for Republicans seeking office
in November." In fact, the findings of the poll should serve as a guide
to Republicans AND Democrats seeking office. Many would surely be
stunned to learn:
74% of voters want the President to
work with Congress while only 21% support his acting alone. This
includes:
-
56% of Democrats
-
81% of Independents
-
93% of Republicans
77% believe U.S. born workers and
legal immigrants already in the country should be given preference for
jobs over new legal immigrants (89% agree over illegal immigrants).

Many of you are already letting your Members of Congress know about this
breakthrough poll as you visit the district offices of your elected
officials. Scheduling a local office visit to your Senator(s) and U.S.
Representative is one of the most effective things you can do to keep up
opposition to President Obama's proposed amnesty. Melanie Oubre has
posted a host of information on your
action board to make it as easy as possible for you to do this.

offices can be found on your Action Board.
While Americans are more focused and more opinionated on the issue of
immigration than they have been in years (immigration now ranks in the
top 3 of voters' concerns), President Obama continues to pursue his
renegade approach to immigration, inviting corporate stakeholders and
special interests to the White House to help plan one or more unilateral
executive actions on immigration.
Your actions this week (and throughout this past year) are giving voice
to the majority of Americans of both political parties who revealed in
this week's poll that they oppose the White House and Senate Majority
who appear more concerned about the demands of Big Business and special
interests than the unemployment situation of their fellow Americans and
constituents. Thank you for giving voice to those who need it most.
