Don't provide mass amnesty

I am very disappointed that Congress is still considering forcing a mass amnesty on the American people. We don't want any amnesty for illegal aliens, period.

Pro-amnesty supporters can call it whatever you want - a pathway to citizenship, earned legalization, or bringing people out of the shadows - but it won't matter because it will have the same result: the amnestying of the 12 million to 18 million illegal aliens living in the United States.

The vast majority of Americans oppose amnesty and support enforcement-first policies such as Arizona's new law, SB 1070. Individuals who have knowingly broken America's laws and taken jobs from American and legal immigrant workers should not be able to remain in this country. Any other course of action would permanently wreck the hopes and dreams of tens of millions of American families.

For the sake of all Americans, I urge you to enforce our nation's just and fair immigration laws.
