Americans Moving in Our Direction By Chris Chmielenski, Friday, October 23, 2009 Two new polls reveal that Americans favor lower immigration numbers, stronger border and interior enforcement, and oppose giving amnesty to the 12-18 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States. While Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) works on a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill that would provide a mass amnesty to illegal aliens and increase America's overly generous immigration numbers, Americans want a very different solution.

Chuck Schumer's attempt to claim overwhelming evangelical Christian support for his pending amnesty legislation has crumbled. His master plan was to use the staff and leadership of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) to give the impression of near unanimity. The NAE tried. But after the members in the pew erupted, only 11 of the 40 NAE member denominations have been willing to sign on to endorse amnesty and Schumer's "comprehensive immigration reform" agenda. Read More >> A Few Evangelical Leaders Defend Pro-Amnesty Stance With Straw Men (they say they don't support BLANKET amnesty) By Roy Beck, Monday, October 19, 2009 It appears that the dwindling number of evangelical leaders who support amnesty resort to the same kind of dodgy defenses as pro-amnesty politicians in Washington when they come under fire from the voters back home. They set up straw men based on accusations that have NOT been made against them and then proceed to easily knock them down. This is undignified for congressmen, and far more so for otherwise distinguished religious leaders.

It is a United Methodist congregation. The bishops of my church nationally are actively lobbying to give permanent U.S. jobs to those illegal aliens. But I want those jobs to go to unemployed Americans. Why do my bishops think they are more ethical and humanitarian than me because they lobby against jobless Americans? And why did I help the illegal aliens?

Rasmussen Reports conducted a poll earlier this month and recently released the results. Despite recent DHS action to reduce the role that local law enforcement plays in assisting with enforcement, 64% of Americans want local police to conduct raids where illegal aliens look for work. Seventy-one percent want the employers who hire illegal aliens arrested, too. A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released on Thursday revealed that three in every four Americans thought the number of illegal aliens living in the United States should be decreased. CNN has been asking the question for four years, and that's the biggest response yet. Make sure your Members of Congress know these figures. Visit your Local Power page for contact information and tell your Congressmen to vote against an amnesty and fight for stronger enforcement. Thanks, Chris Chmielenski, Website Content Manager
