This is blatantly against the U.S. Constitution! We have a Congressman supposedly representing U.S. interests and offering a bill to further an ethno-centric group's interests? This group, whose sole aim is to promote one nationality in this country, is to be aided by my tax dollars????!!!!!!Since when do we cater to or promote one ethnicity in this country? Where are the constitutional lawyers? We need to recall this Congressman and it's time we began threatening all those who DO NOT REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF AMERICANS to the loss of their jobs, just as they are party to the loss of our jobs!
Our children and grandchildren are depending on what we do right now!
I agree and frightening because I almost missed it. I have been passing along the message to all I know. Please do the same. I believe it's in committee now but it hasn't been passed. Let's yell loud and clear we are watching and no bills that give our children's future away is acceptable.
Thanks, Diana...eagle eyes like yours are what we all need in this forum. I amplanning to call Washington tomorrow on several of these issues...and this one is top priority!

I called Congressman Hinojosa's office to complain about this biased proposed legislation using my tax dollars. I also e mailed Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck about this bill and notified Numbers USA about this bill. How many more of these bills which aid only one group are we supposed to pay for? I have had enough. We talk about poverty, homelessness, Katrina, etc. in America and we give millions and millions to a group that has a hidden agenda that is certainly not for a united America.
Our children and grandchildren are depending on what we do right now!
With us working together the message will get out. If Lou Dobbs or Glenn Beck cover it, that would be doomsday for this bill.
Does it make you wonder why our government would make these unrealistic plans. I would imagine it has something to do with the agreement with Calderon about open borders and the SPP. Big corporations want cheap labor but how many Americans have to die before they seal our borders? Calderons anger at us enforcing our laws is laughable if it weren't so serious.

Thank you for your efforts.

I was just thinking that if this SPP is the plan (which all points to it) then, as a body of people, we need to start targeting corporations that are using cheap labor. They all want this. We have to show that our $$$ will be spent at companies that support America and its legal workers. Since Congress, the president, unions, corporations only heed $$$, when will we show the power of what we Americans can buy? If we don't, in a very short time, we will not even be able to afford these products due to lack of jobs and the loss of the American middle class. It's all connected, unfortunately.

I believe you're right, the amnesties they are trying to push through, Mexican trucks and Caldersons expectations. We are giving so much money to Mexico and illegal aliens in our country. With all the crime, I don't understand why the government is trying hard to keep them here.
