Listen to Chris Crane
I wanted to make sure you knew that ICE Union head Chris Crane wrote to American business leaders after they met with Pres. Obama at the White House and let them know that their support for “comprehensive immigration reform” has profoundly negative effects for our nation and for the American people. I hope you will take his comments to heart and make sure amnesty doesn’t reach President Obama’s desk.

Evangelicals oppose amnesty
I believe it’s important for Republican Members of Congress to realize that most evangelical Republicans do not approve of comprehensive immigration reform. The polls are clear on this.

Don’t make Garcia’s mistake
Yesterday, Rep. Joe Garcia went on a Google+ forum to discuss H.R. 15, the Democrat’s amnesty legislation. Unfortunately, it turned out that he was unaware that the legislation would increase unemployment and decrease wages for American workers. I hope you will not make Rep. Garcia’s mistake of sponsoring this legislation.

Cosponsor ‘no amnesty’ resolution
It is disappointing that some in Congress still want to give illegal aliens an amnesty, despite the current economic jobs climate. Please cosponsor H. Res. 326, a resolution that calls on Congress to reject any immigration reform that provides illegal aliens with legal status or amnesty.

‘American Center’ opposes amnesty
It’s disappointing that President Obama wants to force an amnesty for illegal aliens through Congress, even though a new NBC News poll shows that a majority of the American people — the so-called American center — opposes this. I hope you will take the results of this poll to heart and share it with your colleagues.

What about spying on U.S. citizens?
According to the LA Times, you said:

Oppose H.R. 1417
Please oppose H.R. 1417, the McCaul-Jackson Lee border security bill. The bill will not secure the border as it actually rolls back current border security laws. Please make it clear that you will not support any bills that make our nation less secure.

Government hypocrisy
“Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured … But not everyone must prove they are a citizen.”

Even ‘centrists’ don’t want amnesty
A new NBC News poll shows that swing voters — what the pollsters dub the “new American Center” — have little appetite for giving illegal aliens a pathway to citizenship. Given this fact, I hope you will not go along with plans to force his amnesty on the American people.

Oppose H.R. 15
The Democrats just released their amnesty bill, H.R. 15, and made it clear that they want all illegal aliens to receive an amnesty, work permits, and taxpayer-provided subsidies. I hope you will oppose this attempt to force a “Gang of Eight”-like bill through the House and oppose all attempts to have a vote on immigration bills while the Senate amnesty bill is still pending.

Don’t pass any bill that provides a back door to amnesty
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and several pro-amnesty Senators have made it clear that they will use any House-passed immigration legislation to get their “Gang of Eight” amnesty to President Obama’s desk. Rep. Steve Stockman has written a letter to Speaker John Boehner warning of this eventuality and asks him to make sure no immigration legislation reaches the House floor unless it can be guaranteed that it will not be conferenced with Senate-passed comprehensive immigration bills. Please sign this letter and make it clear you do not want sensible House-passed immigration legislation to be used to pass the Senate’s amnesty bill.

Oppose H.R. 3141
I hope I can count on you to oppose H.R. 3141, the Biometric Exit Improvement Act of 2013. While the bill tries to set a hard deadline for completion of a biometric exit system at our nation’s borders, it contains a major flaw. It weakens current law by excluding mandatory biometric scans for non-pedestrian traffic at all land borders.

Oppose H-1B expansion
It is disappointing that a reputable company such as IBM would post jobs that preferred temporary foreign workers over U.S. citizens. How are American tech workers, like me, supposed to find work? Please make sure that IBM is forced to hire jobless Americans by reducing, not increasing, foreign worker numbers.

No amnesty
Pro-amnesty groups are holding a cynical “Day of Dignity & Respect” for illegal aliens. These groups fail to recognize that an amnesty would undermine those already in the United States legally. Please respect the dignity of legal citizens by drastically and permanently reducing legal immigration.

Stop preferential treatment of H-1B workers
As an American tech worker, I find it disgusting that IBM posted jobs that preferred foreign workers on temporary visas over American tech workers, while at the same time, they lobby Washington for increases in foreign workers. How are American tech workers supposed to find jobs when corporations can break the law and hire foreign workers at will? Please make sure that American workers have the first shot at any job, and that the federal government prosecutes companies that hire foreign workers over qualified American workers.

Government shut-down preferable to the alternative
I understand your frustration with the Senate and White House over the shut-down of the government. However, I would offer you this: Nothing that this government has done since Obama took office has been in the best interests of America or Americans. Shutting down the government is preferable to allowing him to continue to destroy what’s left of our country. Furthermore, I hope that your frustration does NOT lead you to caving in to the spendthrift obstructionists, as Republicans seem to be doing these days. Please stand firm, and make this shut-down stand for something. You’re doing a great job so far. Keep up the good work!

Take amnesty off the table completely
While we do wish to secure the border, secure the workplace, and mandate use of the E-Verify system, passing any immigration legislation while the Senate’s mass amnesty bill is still active would give the Senate the vehicle it needs to pass a mass amnesty. Please share this message with the GOP Leadership who is considering bringing this legislation to the floor for a vote.
