Environment Threatened by
ONGOING AMNESTIES by DECREE!
and by
An S744 Copycat Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill (H.R. 15) which is threatening in the House!

As BALANCE warned earlier this year, Mass Illegal Alien Amnesty (and more!) Bills are still very much alive in the House, notwithstanding Speaker Boehner's earlier comments to the Contrary.

The Discharge Petition (which would Require the Speaker to hold a vote on the House Amnesty Bill) already reportedly has several Republican Members' tacit support, and many Democrats are actually signing on—171 as we write. Thus the Petition is just a few votes short of the 218 needed to REQUIRE a vote. And the Pressure on the Holdouts is Extraordinary, and increasing so it could pass any day.

Make no Mistake.......

A Vote to Discharge H.R 15 is a de Facto Vote for Amnesty and for tripling legal Immigration and issuing Work Permits to legalized Illegals and their Families.

It is a Vote against Jobs, and against Higher Wages for American Citizens. That is, it is a vote for a Horrendous Job Opportunities Environment.

And it is a vote to Impose an additional $6.3 TRILLION on American Taxpayers—the Net Cost of the Amnesty Bill.

It is Important to reiterate that S.744 and its Copycats in the House (e.g. H.R. 15) would add at least 30 Million additional people to the USA in the next Decade.

And for each Person added to the US population one acre of precious farmland or Wildlife habitat is converted to Developed Uses!

And do the drought-stricken areas of the West and Southwest, or the overcrowded Hospitals, Schools and Roads of Urban Areas all over the USA benefit in any way from the additional Environmental Pressure additional Millions of Immigrants would bring? NO!

And regarding the supposed "humanitarian" claims of the pro-Amnesty Advocates we ask: “What about the needs of the millions of unemployed, underemployed and overtaxed Americans?” And what is to stop the Illegals from reunifying their families by returning to the country of Origin?”

But there is another OMINOUS THREAT to the Environment.

Since it began, President Obama and his Administration have unilaterally Issued at least 76 Immigration-related Executive Orders and Administrative Decrees relaxing
Immigration requirements, halting Deportations, and increasing Immigration Numbers
without the consent of Congress! (see Itemized list in Note 1 below which which was obtained from Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala) Study. Senator Sessions concluded that 99.92% of deportable Illegal Aliens and Visa Overstayers who had not committed a serious crime have been allowed to stay in the USA!)

The latest virtual Amnesty by executive action is the 'Parole in Place' Policy issued this March which legalizes and gives Taxpayer-funded Military Benefits—including presumably Obamacare and Work -- Permits to Illegal Alien Spouses, Children, and Parents of American Military Personnel!!

Perhaps most outrageous, the Obama Administration released 68,000 convicted criminal Aliens back into American Society in 2013, rather than deporting them! (“Releaser-in-Chief: 68,000 convicted criminal aliens released in one year,” cis.org, 03/31/2014)

"Since taking Office, President Obama has increasingly pushed the boundaries on Executive Power beyond their Constitutional Limits" stated Rep. Bob Goodlatte,(R-Va) Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

And now it appears that "Obama (is) Extending Unconstitutional Administrative Amnesty to Former Deportees and...Terrorists"! Federale, vDare.com 3/27/14

Consider the Impact of Ruling by Decree on the Environment! The Precedent thus set would allow a future President hostile to Environmental Protection to unilaterally modify or Negate Important Environmental laws and Regulations, without the consent of Congress or American Citizens!!

Fortunately, there are now Bills in th House which would stop such Unconstitutional Unilateral Actions.

Rep. Diane Black's (R-TN) Immigration Compliance Enforcement Act (H.R. 3732) would prohibit the use of Federal Funds for such Actions and the "ENFORCE the law Act of 2014" (H.R. 4138) (Gowdy-R. N.C.) would reign in Executive Overreach as well.

So Ask your Representatives and those who wish to go to Congress to make the following PLEDGE:
1) Vote NO on ANY Discharge Petition and/or immigration Bill which could go to conference with, or includes any provisions of , the Senate Bill

2) Vote NO on ANY Amnesty or Work Permits for Illegal Aliens

3) Vote NO on any Bill increasing Legal Immigration, whether via H1(b) increases, or otherwise.

4) Support the aforementioned Bills requiring the Executive to enforce the law.

5) Agree to push a zero-net Moratorium Bill in the next Congressional Session (but NOT in this Session, because any such Bill would risk coming out of Conference Committee looking like the Horrendous Senate Bill)

Pushing a zero-net Moratorium Bill in the Next Session is Extremely Important.
BALANCE is a co-Sponsor of the ASAP! Coalition which laid out the Rationale for pushing for a Moratorium years ago. Having a Moratorium goal is key as a long-term objective. Without a goal, we will always be playing defense and never gaining.

A zero-net Moratorium is the Necessary Condition for achieving U.S. Population Stabilization, long term Environmental Protection, Budgetary Solvency, Tax Reduction and Social Cohesion.

And from a Strategic Perspective pushing a Moratorium is Essential to de-legitimize the whole Notion of Mass Immigration.

Therefore, pushing a Moratorium maximizes Pressure to get some Reductions at least.

Refusing to push a Moratorium (as some Mass Immigration Management (de facto) Groups do), is a Recipe for Failure, since that puts the Reduction Movement on the Defensive.

And being forever on the Defensive increases the chances of passage of Bad Bills, e.g. Illegal Alien Amnesties.

How serious about actually achieving Immigration Reduction can an Organization be, if it refuses to push a Moratorium?!

Any Immigration 'Amnesty' Tidal Wave Bill which enacts an Illegal Alien Amnesty or increases Legal Immigration (the Senate Bill would triple it!) would create a Demographic, Budgetary, Public Health, and Environmental Disaster that is magnitudes greater than Mass Immigration is already creating.

Phone Calls or Office Visits followed by Snail Mail letters are most effective (emails are often ignored and fax machines can be turned off).

So Help BALANCE Intensify our Opposition to ANY such Bill NOW!

The House Leadership is Now determined to enact their Open Borders 'Principles" into law.

Only our Massive Grassroots Effort can stop them!

Please forward this Alert to your Friends today!

And consider that BALANCE is greatly outspent by the Cheap Labor and various Ethnic Power Lobbies.

So Please Help BALANCE Intensify our Opposition to ANY Bill TODAY, NOW!

BALANCE very much needs you to make a Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY at BALANCE or via U.S. Mail.
