More Enemies In Congress

Below is an article by Roy Beck exposing Senators and Representatives who have consistently voted against attempts to control immigration, legal and illegal. For their efforts Beck calls them “Deserters of Jobless Americans.” In my opinion he's too nice. These immigrants, especially from Mexico, will form a fifth column to facilitate merger with Mexico into the North American Union. For this reason I believe the actions of these people in Congress are an attack on our sovereignty and are therefore treasonous.


DEFENDERS & DESERTERS of JOBLESS AMERICANS: We name the '50 Worst Deserters' Today

By Roy Beck, Friday, September 3, 2010, 1:47 AM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA

It was a tough job to pick the 50 Members of Congress who over the last two years have shown the most callous indifference to the suffering of unemployed American households, in terms of immigration policies.

As bad as Congress has been on immigration in the past, it seemed to just grow more fond of foreign labor the last two years as jobs prospects for unemployed Americans grew more and more dismal.

Consider the results of NumbersUSA calculating grades based on every vote and co-sponsorship of the last two years:

· 42% of the 535 Members earned a NumbersUSA grade of D+ or LOWER for their actions
· 25% earned an F or F-minus, with most of them getting a 0%.

During the last two years of a virtual jobs depression, these Worst 50 led Congress:

· in allowing the addition of another 75,000 permanent working-age immigrants every MONTH
· and in allowing about 7 million illegal foreign workers to keep their jobs in construction, service, manufacturing and transportation.

Recent government data show that 22 million U.S. workers who want a job can’t find one. But these 50 Members of Congress deserted those Americans in favor of increasing the number of foreign workers competing with them in the hiring line.

All 50 “Deserters” on this list:

· received grades of F-minus and 0%, failing to take a single action to reduce competition for jobless Americans.
· are asking voters to re-elect them to Congress this November
· are in the Senate or in the House where they are leaders with special opportunity to influence policy toward jobless Americans because they either are congressional chairmen, leaders of their Party or on the Judiciary Committee with direct jurisdiction over immigration.
It isn't that these 50 don't have concerns for the unemployed. In fact, most of them have worked hard to provide unemployment benefits and other government assistance to help them while they are out of work.

But they seem to prefer providing unemployment assistance to providing them access to jobs.
When it comes to immigration, these 50 are willing to keep their unemployed constituents out of work.

For whatever variety of reasons, these 50 elected officials favor foreign workers and the employers that hire them over the desires of their own constituents to have a job and support themselves.

I'm sure all of these 50 will be campaigning this fall about their great concern for putting their constituents back to work. Citizens can no longer allow them to perpetuate their charade.

NumbersUSA is aggressively non-partisan. We do not cherry-pick actions to grade in order to skew the results. Instead, we rate every action in committee or the floor and all co-sponsorships that would change the numerical level of immigration. Our grades reflect the cumulative effect of each Members' actions in terms of increasing or reducing the number of foreign workers (legal and illegal) in the country.

All actions and the computerized grading calculations are displayed in our http://www.congressgrades.org/ section of our website.

Those in Congress who do the most to protect American workers in terms of immigration policies receive an A+, while those doing the least receive an F-minus.

NumbersUSA has more than one million activist members. It was formed in 1996 in part to carry out the recommendations of the bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform (chaired by the late Barbara Jordan) which opposed immigration policies that depress wages and job prospects for the most vulnerable Americans.

AMERICA'S ENEMIES IN THE SENATE

This is a list of 59 of the 60 Senators who voted for the Healthcare Obamanation and, in so doing, gave aid and comfort to the corporate enemies of America – Treason.

I had a bit of difficulty finding a list of those who voted for the atrocity. I do know that 58 Democrats voted for it as did two “independents.” I finally settled for a list of members of the Democratic caucus which apparently has a missing senator.

All of the Republicans voted against it. Don't be fooled. We still have one party and that is the Council on Foreign Relations which is dedicated to the destruction of our national sovereignty and with it our Constitution. If the people are able to carry their outrage at this betrayal into the next election, they will vote out many of the people who voted “yes.” It will make no difference. Try then to get the law repealed. It will not be. The Republican half of the Ruling Party will continue the same program of destruction carried on by the Democratic half. Like Obama, they will talk change but we will get none, or, if any, it will be for the worse. We are already seeing this in the 8th District where Mike Fitzpatrick is trying to get back his House seat from Patrick Murphy. When Fitzpatrick was last in office, he did little to inspire confidence that he will stand up for American principles and for her sovereignty. I'm looking forward to a candidates night where I can ask him if he wants to be a "leader" like Murphy.

America's Enemies in the House

Below is a list of Members of Congress who voted for the healthcare Obamanation despite polls that showed a substantial majority of Americans opposed it. It should be understood that a few may represent districts in which a majority favored the bill. In that case, they voted as they should have as representatives of the people of their district. Their votes would not catagorize them as America's enemies, as traitors to the American people and the Republic. However, since these would likely be in a very small minority, I'm willing to accept the possibility of a 5 or 10% error and classify them all as traitors to, and enemies of, the American republic.

I have no qualms about so classing 8th District Congressman Patrick Murphy as an enemy of America and of the American people and, yes, as a traitor. In a “Town Meeting” in which Murphy was promoting the bill, it was pointed out that the majority of the people were opposed. The Congressman [Gauleiter] made it plain that even if the majority of his constituents opposed a bill, if he thought it was a good bill, it was his duty as a “leader” to vote for it. He also applied that philosophy to his votes for cap and trade and the bail outs. Murphy has rejected republican principles of representative government for the leadership principle of Nazi Germany. We elected him to represent us and he has arrogated to himself the role of leader (Fuehrer). I'm sure that applies to most in this list.
