https://www.numbersusa.com/message?ID=17682Dear friends,
Amnesty-supporter, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), met with several other Senate Republicans and Pres. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, on Wednesday to draw up an 'Amnesty-for-Wall' deal that they will pitch to Senate Democrats today.
Alarmingly, White House officials are telling Sen. Graham's gang that Pres. Trump would likely go along with the deal if it includes his request for border funding.
Voters didn't elect Donald Trump to the White House back in 2016 to pass an amnesty. They elected him because he was strong on enforcement and understood mass immigration's harmful impacts on American workers and their quality of life.
WE NEED YOUR URGENT ACTION TODAY URGING PRES. TRUMP TO OPPOSE ANY DEAL THAT TRADES BORDER FUNDING FOR AMNESTY!
Message Pres. Trump!

Amnesty is NOT what the President ordered during Oval Office speech
One word that was missing from Pres. Trump's Oval Office speech to the nation on Tuesday night was "amnesty."
But he did urge Congress to fund his request of $5.7 billion to build border fencing in strategic areas as recommended by the Border Patrol officers who work on the front-lines every day.
He did urge Congress to provide funding for additional immigration judges to help clear the lengthy backlog of immigration cases that contribute to "catch-and-release" policies.
He did ask for additional detention space and to close the loopholes that allow many migrants to claim asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border only to have those claims later rejected by a judge.
Finally, he did ask Congress to change the process by which the administration can deal with the massive influx of unaccompanied minors who cross the border illegally.
Nowhere in Pres. Trump's speech was there a request to pass a DACA amnesty.
Graham plan is worse than amnesty!
Sen. Graham's amnesty gang, however, aren't stopping with just a DACA amnesty.
The plan would also include an increase in H-2B visas -- the low-skilled guest worker program -- even after Pres. Trump mentioned the impact of immigration on low-skilled workers during his speech on Tuesday.
The plan would also include an amnesty for the 300,000-plus illegal aliens who have received Temporary Protected Status.
Please take action today!
