  • Stealth Amnesty Amendment

    Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Larry Craig (R- ID) have vowed to enact an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens, even if it means holding every other piece of Senate legislation hostage to accomplish it.

    These senior legislators have promised to attach their Agriculture Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits and Security Act (AgJOBS) to every Senate bill for the remainder of the year. Their first target is the Defense Authorization bill now being debated in the Senate.

    Co-sponsored by Senator Barbara Boxer, the AgJobs bill (S. 1645) creates a guest-worker program that leads to amnesty for certain agricultural workers. This provides a path to legal residency for an unknown number of farm worker illegal aliens, and then would allow them to bring in family members. California's overburdened taxpayers just can't afford this! Contact Barbara Boxer and request that she withdraw her co-sponsorship of this bill.


    Why You Should Care - Impact of Illegal Immigration on California

    While the media is forced to report on the staggering budget problems faced by California, they have ignored the fact that illegal immigration costs our state billions of dollars each year. In 1996, the latest year for which full figures are available, illegal immigration cost California tax payers $8 billion dollars including funding health care, education and incarceration.


    How You Can Help Elect Chris Haugen to Congress

    Agree with Chris's view on immigration?

    Bringing some common sense to Congress takes money. Would you be willing to pack your lunch for one day and invest your lunch money in defeating Anna Eshoo?


    Chris Haugen's Perspective

    What part of "illegal" do our Bay Area representatives not understand? Common sense dictates that it is the responsibility of the Federal government to enforce the current laws and protect our borders. As your Representative in Congress, I will strongly support the enforcement of our immigration laws.

    Local media does not report that over 2,000 illegal aliens cross our border everyday, 7 days a week. Not only is California bearing an overwhelming financial burden, but our national security is at risk.

    ACT NOW!

    Tell Sen. Frist to keep the amendment off the floor.

    Tell Senator Boxer to remove her co-sponsorship.

    Stay on top of immigration legislation.

    Support Chris Haugen. Pack your lunch!
