Anti-Sanctuary-City amendment vote in Senate as early as Tuesday -- Phone early
DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION,
You have a chance to help pass an amendment Tuesday that would effectively end the outlaw "sanctuary city" movement.
You have to start phoning first thing Tuesday morning and ask your Senators to vote FOR Sen. Vitter's anti-sanctuary amendment to the H.R. 3093 appropriations bill. This is known as the "CJS spending bill" (commerce, justice and science).
Phone 202-224-3121
See phone talking points below.
We will send you an email and post results on our website when your phone calls are no longer needed.
The amendment by Sen. Vitter (R-La.) would deny a popular federal police grant to cities that adopt "sanctuary" policies. These are policies that prohibit police from reporting illegal aliens to the feds.
If the amendment passes, it is unlikely that any city would give up the federal funding in order to continue to provide sanctuary to illegal aliens.
Generally, sanctuary policies instruct city employees not to notify the federal government of the presence of illegal aliens living in their communities. The policies also end the distinction between legal and illegal immigration--so illegal aliens often benefit from city services too.
NumbersUSA members have to carry the responsibility to get this passed. Talk Radio has not been revved up on this. This amendment has come up so fast that hardly any organization has notified its members.
The burden falls on you nearly half-million NumbersUSA members. The only way this anti-sanctuary amendment can pass is if you pick up that phone and make the calls. Only then will Senators realize they will be held accountable for how they act on this.
We will be grading this heavily in our Immigration-Reduction Grade Cards.
Large numbers of people have been robbed, raped, beaten and even murdered by illegal aliens who came in contact with police in sanctuary cities but were let go because the police weren't allowed to report them to the feds.
Even larger numbers of Americans have seen the quality of life of their communities and their occupations deteriorated because of the presence of masses of protected illegal aliens in these sanctuary cities.
And Americans everywhere tend to see more illegal immigration into their communities simply because the publicity about sanctuary cities entices more foreign workers to decide to move to the U.S. to become illegal aliens.
Let's put an end to Sanctuary City policies NOW!
If you have difficulty getting through, call one of their state offices. You can find those phone numbers and the names of your Senators by clicking on: www.NumbersUSA.com/members
TELL THE STAFFER WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
I am calling about H.R. 3093, the CJS spending bill.
I am urging a YES vote on Sen. Vitter's amendment to prohibit "COPS" money to cities that support sanctuary policies. (COPS is a federal grant program to state and local law enforcement agencies to advance community policing.)
THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY AND THEN SAY 'THANK YOU.' OR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO PICK ONE TO THREE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO MENTION:
Only Senators who seek to protect illegal aliens and promote illegal immigration would vote against the Vitter amendment. I am counting on Sen. xmxmxm to vote YES.
Sanctuary policies have been against federal law since the 1996 federal immigration law required local governments to cooperate with Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But many cities have refused to do so, adopting so-called "sanctuary policies." Unfortunately, the Clinton and Bush Justice Departments have refused to bring suit against these cities.
The Vitter amendment would seek to eliminate sanctuary policies in local municipalities, whereby law enforcement officials are barred from asking suspects about their immigration status or reporting them to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The amendment would ensure that existing law is enforced uniformly across the country by withholding COPS federal funding for cities that choose to violate section 642(a) of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA).
It is highly unlikely that any sanctuary cities in our state will lose funding because nearly all of them will end up ending their sanctuary policies once they see they will lose federal funding by keeping them.

Lets go folks....This has to stop over us Americans wishes....The last poll I remember seeing is that over 80% of American citizens want our borders to more protected...
These cities are breaking OUR LAWS AND GOING AGAINST US AMERICAN CITIZENS WISHES.....
This is not a liberal or a conservative thing...This is a American thing...We don't mind immigration...but there needs to be a stop to ILLEGIAL IMMIGRATION.....They are not undocumented immigrants, they are not migrants anymore...They have become an illegal invasion on our country....
I'm sorry their countries can not provide for them, but why should we be required to take and support them with our hard earned TAXES????
Contact President Bush on this also...He has been no better....
.call, write, email, fax.....:cheers2:
