Thanks for all your phoning, faxing & emailing this week. A first congressional step against presidential amnesties for illegal aliens THANK YOU, FRIENDS. GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM DOES WORK! Pounded and hounded by their constituents all week, U.S. House Republicans turned their backs Thursday on appeasement with the forces of amnesty. And tonight (Friday), the House sent a strong message of intent to protect American workers from the threat of huge increases in work permits for illegal foreign workers in this country. By a vote of 216-192, the U.S. House of Representatives tonight passed a strongly worded, short bill, the effect of which was to declare that the President of the United States should not issue any more work permits to illegal aliens without the consent of Congress. (See roll call: clerk.house.gov/evs/2014/roll479.xml) The legislation was known as the Blackburn bill after sponsor Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). Passage was mainly a Republican effort with only four Democrats voting for the bill. They were Congressmen Barrow (D-Ga.), Peterson (D-Minn.), Rahall (D-W.V.) and McIntyre (D-N.C.).
