Evangelicals do NOT want amnesty

News reports are saying that evangelical leaders have been lobbying Republican Congressmen in favor of work permits and other benefits for illegal aliens. I hope you have heard about the new poll showing that the vast majority of evangelical Christians oppose Speaker John Boehner’s immigration proposals to reward illegal aliens with work permits and legal status. Please follow the immigration opinions of evangelicals — not evangelical leaders — as they happen to match my own.

This has resulted in the doubling of legal immigration in recent decades. I oppose Chain Migration, and I hope you’ll support efforts to change the law, which will reduce overall immigration numbers.

Keep opposing Boehner on amnesty

I cannot believe that Speaker Boehner told a group of agricultural leaders that America just can’t handle mandatory E-Verify yet and immigration reform should come first. This counts as an amnesty by every definition of the word and I hope you will oppose it.
