LULAC beginning amnesty/immigration "reform" push

The League of United Latin American Citizens, the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, the Hispanic Federation, and America Votes are starting an astroturf campaign to push the Dems into support immigration "reform", aka amnesty.

America Votes (take a deep breath) has direct or indirect links to - among many others - the SEIU, Carl Pope and the Sierra Club, ACORN, EMILY's List, League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn.org, NAACP, NARAL, and People for the American Way.

And:

Hispanic leaders are making two clear statements: Reform should include a path to legal residency for the 12 million illegal immigrants now working in the U.S., and a guest-worker program supported by President Bush, which would require foreign workers to return home after several years, is inadequate. They also oppose the building of a fence along the Mexican border intended to stem the flow of immigration.

There's certainly the strong possibility that they actually think those "guests" would somehow be sent home when their time is up. However, the Senate bill allowed "guests" to apply for legal permanent resident status at four years, and - as pointed out here many times - it's going to be difficult to deport "guests" who've had U.S. citizen children.

I suggest that everyone contacts their representatives in an attempt to counteract LULAC's push.
