Ask Claire McCaskill to Stop Amnesty Bill

Here's a copy of the fax I sent to Claire McCaskill, asking her to honor her campaign promises.

Senator Claire McCaskill
825A Hart, U.S. Senate
Washington, MO 20510

Dear Senator McCaskill,

I am counting on you to stop Senator Kennedy's amnesty bill.

Senator, Missouri is counting on you to stand by the views you shared with us during your campaign:

* We are a sovereign nation and border security has to be a top priority, especially since 9/11. Additionally, it's about American workers and the middle class. I could not have voted for this bill because I disagreed with the provisions on undocumented workers.

* This new program would cost our taxpayers $54 billion over the next 10 years. I can't see how we can ask taxpayers to pay this price in support of foreign workers we may not even need and put at risk programs that Missourians rely upon.

* Big corporations that exploit illegal immigrants for cheap labor hurt the economy because they bring down wages and cost American jobs. I am also aware that once those illegal workers are removed, we have an entirely new set of labor force issues. I believe that we need to crack down on our illegal immigration problem first, enforce our laws evenly and fairly, and then put the labor needs of this state on the table to deal with that out in the open.

Your words, Senator, concerning a bill that wasn't as bad as the one now proposed.

P.S. Missouri's voters are counting on you to oppose Senator Kennedy's giant amnesty bill.
