Please call Senator Wyden and Merkley toll-free (Call 888-978-3094 No to Amnesty)
American Jobs for American Citizens Only- When will the Senate have an Amnesty for Americans burdened by student loans, bad credit etc? because this bill allows criminal illegals who have drunk driving convictions, stolen id, etc to become Green Cards. For Illegals everything, for Americans Nothing.
Ron Wyden and Merkley refuse to say how they will vote on this horrible piece of treason called S744 , but we know they will vote yes unless they hear from you over and over again. 1 202 224 3121
Your 2 Democratic Senators may say they are committed to S. 744 -- but make them ponder what the AFL-CIO wrote in USA Today yesterday.
AFL-CIO: American high-tech workers not in shortage
Companies want a massive expansion of visa holders so they can pay them less
I know that many of you feel like you are on the sidelines of this crucial battle in the Senate because both of your Senators seem to be pretty much locked in support of this bill.
But here is a handle for causing many of them some ideological heartburn. If even one of the 40 hard-core pro-amnesty Senators were to shift to "undecided," that could have some very beneficial effects on all the many Senators who already are undecided.
Please phone your state's two Democratic Senators toll-free on our dime at:

Let the Senators know about the op-ed by Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, in USA Today yesterday.
Tell them that you agree with his huge public disagreement with the supporters of the Gang of Eight's S. 744 bill that would drastically increase the number of foreign workers competing against American tech workers for U.S. jobs.
That bill is set to come to the Senate floor for a vote in two weeks.
A central tenet of the Gang's S. 744 bill is that too few Americans have the interest or the aptitude to fill high-tech jobs.
Most newspaper editorial boards -- such as USA Today yesterday -- trumpet huge labor shortages in the high-tech field and the need for S. 744 to massively increase the importation of foreign workers into these U.S. jobs.
Of course, nearly any American who works in high-tech or who has a kid in the field knows that the job market is tough for most and that S. 744 would be disastrous for Americans in the field.
In the AFL-CIO op-ed, Trumpka listed several pieces of evidence that the country has the opposite of a tech worker shortage:
"In the fields of computer and information science and engineering, U.S. colleges graduate 50% more students than there are new hires."
"Basic supply and demand suggests that if there were too few qualified tech workers, their average salaries would be going up, but tech wages haven't risen since Bill Clinton was president."
"There are 20,000 fewer African-American computer programmers and system analysts employed than in 2008."
NumbersUSA's membership is divided about whether there is virtually no need for foreign tech workers or whether there is a need for a separate bill to deal with narrowly defined extraordinary-skilled foreign tech workers with real safeguards for American workers.
Either way, though, there is no excuse for this gigantic amnesty bill which has huge increases in visas while reducing protections for American workers.
Look on your Action Board for a fax to send on this subject, as well as other actions and news.
And phone your Democratic Senators and their staffs to see if they can be shamed just a little bit for taking such an anti-worker stance as supporting S. 744.
THANKS FOR CALLING 888-978-3094 AND ASKING FOR ONE OF YOUR SENATORS -- AND THEN CALLING BACK AND ASKING FOR THE OTHER ONE.
