Frist, Reid reach deal on illegal alien amnesty; contact the Senate

The Senate has decided to move forward with its massive illegal alien amnesty. Details here and here.

Please contact a Senator or two and let them know what you think.

One worthy candidate is Dick Durbin, who had this to say:

These [illegal immigration marches] are important, but they have to be peaceful and positive and continue reaching out and bringing in more people. As long as the face of this effort is the face of the family wanting to stay together and to make America a better place, we can win.

You can reach him at (202) 224-2152. Perhaps you could ask his staff to explain the use of the word "we" in the quote above. Is his really siding with foreign citizens against the wishes of the vast majority of Americans?

Another option is Harry Reid at 202-224-3542. Perhaps you could ask his staff why, when given a choice between what U.S. citizens want and what foreign citizens want, he tends to choose the latter group.

And, of course, there's Bill Frist at 202-224-3344.

The main Senate Switchboard is (202) 224-3121 or (888) 355-3588. You can also send free FAXes here.

UPDATE: From the article "Migration deal seen as positive measure":

The [Mexican] Foreign Relations Secretariat said in a statement Thursday afternoon that the deal is a "positive step toward the approval of a migration accord." Mexico also will uphold its responsibility in securing its border with the United States, the news release said.

Bin Laden and the drug dealers have made this big win, your country! bush is bin laden.

jake jacobsen that is normal in our little political world but you do know that you are on the political list, right?

So I followed up, I called back and demended to speak to a superior. He wouldn't apologize for the intern hanging up on me, and when I wouldn't immediately drop it, he hung up on me.

I feel all warm inside!

Need a laugh? Dick "Turban" Durbin is my rep so I gave his office a call and asked the question about "we."

The staffer bumped me into voice mail. Yeah, they're scared, arrogant, but scared.
