Call Your Congressman Today

The House is considering a vote on H.R. 5230 on Thursday.  This bill falls short of controlling the cost and expansion of wholesale amnesty. There is no provision for stopping expansion of presidential executive orders to increase the numbers of illegals coming here.

A number of U.S. businesses support illegal immigration as a means of securing low-cost workers.  It doesn't seem to matter that the social costs of healthcare, education, and housing are going to be left to the citizens. It will be our taxes which pay for services that most of us can't get as individuals.  Citizens must show I.D. and insurance to even get checked into a hospital. When illegals apply for Obamacare, officials are not allowed to ask their legal status.

When Michele Bachmann toured the border, she was shocked to see no enforcement.  The border patrol is simply registering folks crossing the border and driving them to doctors and getting them clothes and food. While they are busy doing this, drug dealers are crossing unopposed with their contraband. The coyote receives several thousand dollars to get an illegal to the border and brings drugs across while he is there.

The money has been designated for a border fence and the laws are in place to secure our country from criminals and terrorists who are coming from all over the world .  The breakdown comes with enforcement. The executive branch is not enforcing the law.  The Department of Homeland Security is being used to facilitate the border surge and make it worse as political retribution to Congress for refusing to pass amnesty legislation.

The administration is threatening to fly planes to Honduras and bring illegals from there to give them refugee status.  Refugee status is reserved for people who  are under persecution and whose lives are endangered for political or religious reasons.  An example of a refugee would be a Christian in Iraq or Syria who is killed if he doesn't convert to Islam.

We have to depend on Congress to address these atrocities.  Gang members are being allowed into the U.S along with persons who are infected with diseases never seen before in the U.S.  They are allowed to board planes with civilians thoroughly scanned by security services, but the illegals are not checked and do not have I.D. in many cases.

Most of these problems are only dealt with by border patrol and police on the border, but it becomes a crushing national expense when it comes to funding welfare services and to protecting our families from criminals that are allowed here from all over the world. There is a bill in the House which addresses the problem of amnesty by executive order.  Please tell your representative to support H.R. 5160 which is a better way to address this critical issue.  https://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/5160 Your Representative for the Walsenburg area is Scott Tipton at (202)225-4761. The vote on this important issue is Thursday, July 31st, so there is not much time to make your voice heard.
