S.744 - Schumer-Rubio-Obama Amnesty

At 5:30 p.m. EDT, the Senate will vote on the Corker-Hoeven Amnesty amendment to the Schumer-Rubio Amnesty bill, S.744. Passage of this amendment could greatly improve the chances of this terrible legislation passing later this week. We need your urgent phone calls to your two U.S. Senators telling them to vote NO on the Corker-Hoeven amendment. Call NOW toll-free at 888-995-8349.
The sponsors of the proposal, along with the Gang of 8, have tried to characterize this amendment as a "border surge" that includes an increase of 20,000 border patrol agents and requirements for DHS to spend billions of dollars of equipment and build 700 miles of fencing along the southern border. But here's what the amendment really does:

• Maintains the bill's basic framework of providing legal status and work permits to 11 million illegal aliens before any enforcement provisions kick in
• Allows the Department of Homeland Security to ignore the border equipment build-up if it thinks it can secure the border in other ways
• Allows the Department of Homeland Security to ignore the border fencing requirements
• Creates a new permanent, rolling amnesty for future illegal aliens who have legally worked and lived in the United States for at least 10 years
• Increases unemployment and depresses wages, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office
• Doubles legal immigration numbers and grants 33 million new green cards in the first decade 

The American people don't want this bill to pass! That's why the 1,200-page Corker-Hoeven Amnesty amendment was introduced late on Friday with a vote scheduled for later this afternoon. Take a look at these recent poll results from Pulse Opinion Research:
58% of likely voters support full enforcement first before giving work permits to illegal aliens
72% of Republicans support full enforcement first
62% of Independents support full enforcement first
74% of likely voters want legal immigration numbers reduced or to remain the same
76% of Republicans want legal immigration numbers reduced or to remain the same
70% of Democrats want legal immigration numbers reduced or to remain the same
