H.R. 45 Gun Bill

Are you ready to give your guns to the government?

Are you opposed to national gun registration?

Are you opposed to a written examination to buy a gun?

Are you opposed to a new $25 gun tax?

Are you opposed to a total ban on private firearm sales?

Have you heard of the gun bill that is pending in Congress?

H.R. 45 is the most sweeping gun control proposal ever proffered in America.

H.R. 45 would establish a national gun registry database which would:

• Increase requirements for firearms purchases, far beyond those ever proposed.
• Create a national firearms registry overseen by the Federal Government.
• Invoke Draconian penalties for bookkeeping errors related to the Federal Firearms Database.

It gets worse though.

This bill will FORCE you to take a written exam to prove that you are "fit" to exercise your Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

I'm outraged by this…!!!...I don’t want the government to FORCE me to do ANYTHING…!

Gun registration is the first step on the road toward totalitarian confiscation of all firearms by a federal power.

In addition to the outrageous national gun registration requirement, the bill also requires you to:

• Pass a written examination to purchase a firearm.
  Release your medical records -- including confidential mental health records -- to the government to get your "fitness" to own a firearm approved.
• Observe a two-day waiting period before all firearms purchases. (Perhaps I can live with this provision.)
  Pay a gun tax of $25 or more on all firearm purchases. (Now this tax is over and above the usual and customary sales tax, so it boils down to the fact that the government is trying to control my behavior by taxing my actions……..and I just can’t fully express to you how offensive this is to me…!!!)

Moreover, H.R. 45 bans all private firearms sales and maximizes penalties for minor clerical errors in dealing with the national gun registry.

The National Association for Gun Rights has a petition ready for you to sign.

I signed it, and hope you will too.

Even though they will ask for a donation at the end of the petition, please don’t let that discourage you.

Is the War on Terror too costly?

Liberals and the anti-war crowd have hammered us with the propaganda that it’s the Iraq war and the War on Terror that is bankrupting the United States. Not only is that incorrect, but it overlooks the fact that spending US dollars on illegal aliens is not only costly, but actually reduces the security of our borders.

Take a look at the following, and see how much we are spending on illegal aliens that could and should be spent on securing our border and reducing illegal immigration.

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77

2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html

9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.
Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.'
http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf

13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm

14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States'.
http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml


The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR


If this doesn't bother you then just ignore the message. If, on the other hand, if it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then tell others, and don’t let anyone try to tell you that the War on Terror is too costly to fight.

Failure to fight the War on Terror, and failure to secure our borders, will be infinitely more costly, and will invite more terrorism against Americans right here in America.

No Compromise on Amnesty

There Can Be NO COMPROMISE When It Comes To Amnesty for 12-20 Million Illegal Aliens

I understand that Members of the Senate have negotiated a so-called "compromise immigration bill" that, if passed will grant amnesty to 12-20 million illegal aliens currently in the United States.

Let me be very clear: this "compromise immigration bill" is nothing more than amnesty.

• I don’t want amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens currently in the United States.
• I don’t want compromise legislation.
• I don’t want a comprehensive package that allows 12-20 lawbreakers to keep on breaking the law.
• I don’t want foreigners coming into America unless they go through proper immigration channels.
• I don’t want a "guest worker program".
• I don’t want a "pathway to citizenship".

These are nothing more than amnesty phrases, and I oppose amnesty for the millions of people who have sneaked into our country illegally. Giving amnesty to people who have broken American laws increases the likelihood of further illegal conduct. This so-called compromise amnesty bill will do nothing but encourage more people to cross our nation’s borders illegally.
I understand that the spin doctors are already at work trying to convince the American people that this isn’t an amnesty bill. But the American people know better. We are not going to be fooled.

Amnesty was a bad idea in 1986.
Amnesty was a bad idea last year.
Amnesty is still a bad idea.

Former Sen. Fred Thompson is right when he said, "With this bill, the American people are going to think they are being sold the same bill of goods as before on border security. We should scrap this bill and the whole debate until we can convince the American people that we have secured the borders or at least have made great headway."

The bill should be broken up into pieces with each piece given a fair hearing. We need to secure our borders first, with a separate, tough bill that produces results. Then follow that with visa reform. A separate bill can address employer enforcement.

Throwing everything into one bill, and calling it comprehensive reform is the wrong approach.

The American people want secure borders and no amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. The American people want to stop terrorists, who wish to bomb military installations, from coming into this country illegally!

After all these months, why is it that only two miles of the promised 700-mile border fence have been built? I believe the American people want that border fence built today!

No Amnesty

Dear Editor,
The U.S. Senate in Washington D.C. needs a big dose of good ole common horse sense. The Senate Immigration / Amnesty Bill is purely and simply a BAD bill.

Accepting amnesty in this bill as a trade off for bringing FUTURE illegal immigration under control is a major fallacy. The bill makes NO promises of lower illegal immigration and sets no numerical reduction goals at all. We’ve seen in the past that giving amnesty has not stemmed the tide of illegal immigration, and amnesty now will not reduce illegal immigration in the future.

The "touch back" provisions that require the illegal aliens to leave the country briefly are meaningless. These touch-back provisions have nothing to do with slowing down illegal immigration in the future. In fact the touch-back provisions try to fool voters into thinking that the illegal aliens would be allowed to live here permanently in a process no different from anybody else. But it won’t work that way. The permanent residence they would be given would be possible only because they BROKE THE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE. Giving amnesty to people who have broken American laws increases the likelihood of further illegal conduct.

Amnesty was a bad idea in 1986.
Amnesty was a bad idea last year.
Amnesty is still a bad idea.

We need to remember that Ted Kennedy has already pushed SEVEN amnesties into law. Not a single one was followed by a reduction in illegal immigration. Why should anybody believe this one will be?

1. In 1986, Ted Kennedy's blanket amnesty for 2.7 million illegal aliens promised a lot more enforcement but did not set any requirements for actual reductions in illegal immigration. The illegal flow continued.

2. In 1994, Ted Kennedy's Section 245(I) Amnesty gave legal residence and jobs to 578,000 illegal aliens. It was a temporary rolling amnesty primarily for extended family members of immigrants who instead of waiting in line, would come on into the country illegally. The illegal flow continued.

3. In 1997, Ted Kennedy's extension of the Section 245(I) rolling amnesty was followed by an Increasing Flow of Illegal Immigration.

4. In 1997, Ted Kennedy also won an amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America. Illegal immigration sped up some more.

5. In 1998, Ted Kennedy won an amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti. The illegal flow continued.

6. In 2000, Ted Kennedy got the so-called Late Amnesty, legalizing another 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed that they missed out on Kennedy's 1986 amnesty. Illegal immigration continued unimpeded.

7. In 2000, Ted Kennedy also won the LIFE Act Amnesty for an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens. It was another reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(I) amnesty., an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens. Illegal Immigration Accelerated.

Now, Ted Kennedy is saying that this amnesty is necessary if we are ever to stop the flow of illegal aliens. Considering the above track record, there is just no way we can believe him when he says this amnesty bill will end illegal immigration.

The Senate Immigration bill should be broken up into pieces with each piece given a fair hearing.

We Need to Secure Our Borders First, with a separate, tough bill that produces results. (After all these months, why is it that only two miles of the promised 700-mile border fence have been built?)

We can follow border security with visa reform.

A separate bill can address employer enforcement.

We need to ENFORCE our current immigration laws before we grant blanket amnesty.

It just makes good ole common horse sense to hold off on legalizing 12-20 million illegal immigrants until funding and enforcement efforts HAVE ACTUALLY RESULTED IN substantial reductions of the illegal population.

Illegal Immigration

May 11, 2007
It’s time for America to fix the problems of illegal aliens pouring into our country.

With half of the suspects in the plot to attack GIs at Fort Dix in New Jersey found to be illegal aliens, now is the perfect time for Congress and the President to see that our current lack of enforcement of our existing immigration laws is a national security risk. America MUST fix the problems of illegal aliens pouring into the country before one of the "plots" becomes the next "tragedy."

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is right when it called the arrests "strong proof that lax enforcement of our immigration laws does pose a severe threat to the security of the nation, and that the government’s screening process for granting green cards and other immigration benefits is perilously flawed."

Now is the perfect time for action. Despite case after case of illegal aliens perpetrating crimes, including terrorism plots, there are way too many politicians in DC who just don’t get it.

I want a bill that will concentrate on enforcement of current immigration law as well as border security.

I don’t want foreigners coming into America unless they go through proper immigration channels.

I don’t want a "guest worker program".
I don’t want a "pathway to citizenship".

These are nothing more than amnesty phrases, and I oppose amnesty for the millions of people who have sneaked into our country illegally.
Giving amnesty to people who have broken American laws increases the likelihood of further illegal conduct.

We can’t just disregard the intentional violation of the law in one context because it serves policy objectives in another, as this would undermine the rule of law.

Illegal immigration is a national security issue.

We can’t play politics when the lives of Americans are at stake.
