Dont quit review these two bills up for adoption. Call your Senators and
represenetives. Tell them which one you favor.







White House plan
• Allows illegal immigrants who pass background checks to get three-year
"Z-visas" and continue working after paying $3,500 in fines and $3,500
for each renewal.
• Allows illegal immigrants who obtain Z-visas a chance to become legal
permanent residents and eligible for citizenship after paying up to
$10,000 in additional penalties.
• Bars holders of Z-visas and temporary workers from bringing families
to the United States.
• Allows a new temporary guest worker program and a path to citizenship
for illegal immigrants only after certain "triggers" are met, including
570 miles of fences and vehicle barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.





Senate 2006 bill
• Allowed illegal immigrants who have been in the country five years or
more to remain, continue working and eventually become legal permanent
residents and citizens after paying at least $3,250 in fines and fees,
plus back taxes. They also must learn English.
• Required illegal immigrants in the U.S. between two and five years to
go to a point of entry at the border and file an application to return.
• Required those in the country less than two years to leave.
• Created a new temporary guest worker program.
• Authorized 870 miles of new fences and vehicle barriers along the
U.S.-Mexico border.

I dont want to waste another minute thats all, Ive been working this for
awhile. We can make the difference and either plan will accomplish most
of my goals. Im willing to sacrifice a little.

I like the WH plan because it doesnt create shake-n-bake citizenz. It
requires them to apply theirselves in order to become citizens while
making it illegal for them to bring all their cousins with them.

PRIOR to becoming a citizen

Heres a link to help you notify your congressman,
Please use it. It took about 5 minutes of my time.
Please take 5 minutes of yours, and we can put this issue behind us..

Wow what a nice plan.

Of course the ones that will have the money to pay for themselves will
be into lots of illegal activities but we need a few more drug dealers
now don't we.

I told them my support was with the WH plan, but I was more interested
in them putting aside party politics and reaching a compromise.

Putting aside party politics would be great.

Lots of things could be actually addressed and perhaps solved.

your voice counts too adven, email them tell them to compromise. The
only thing a politician understands is the vote.
Quit being one of the silent majority and lets get-r-done...

Fanta46,

AMAZING!!!

When you switch YOUR AIM, you don't kid around!!!

This thread rocks!!!

If you keep tab of the people whom actually end-up taking concrete
action from this initiative, it will have gone from 'VIRTUAL CHAT ROOM'
to 'REALITY CHECK WHITE HOUSE'!!!

Hell, FANTA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

(Seriously, GREAT WORK! and keep it up.)

lack of posts here is an indication of them writing emails.

That's what I meant by 'switching aim'!!!

It would be great to channel those whom have this situation at heart, to
regroup around a simple virtual structure you would manage Fanta.
As simple as a virtual petition or list of names of those whom have
taken 'concerted action', and would be updated on this post!!!
... and 'grow' from there, with other initiatives, with same list of
people and more!!!

Let's round the good folks up!!!
