Oppose the Immigration Bill

This week, the United States Senate will be voting to end debate on the so-called “Immigration Reform” Bill and proceed to final passage.

With the bill now over 1,200 pages, I don't know a single senator who's read every word.

But what you and I can tell about the bill is bad enough.

That’s why it’s vital you call your U.S. Senators at once at:

(202) 224-3121

Please urge them to vote “NO!” on this so-called “Immigration Reform Bill.”

As I’ve told you before, virtually every American understands that ours is a country of immigrants who came because America has long been known as the "land of opportunity."

And like most Americans, I want our traditions of hope and economic freedom for all to continue.

The American people simply want to be able to trust that our borders are finally protected – and ensure that Congress verifies the job gets done.

But Congress is shirking its duty once again, handing responsibility to the President to ensure our borders are secure and offering only fig leaf solutions.

How can we be assured the Executive Branch will do its job when we’ve seen Presidents in BOTH parties simply ignore the problem?

We can't. And without a Congressional trigger, you and I can be virtually assured the problem won't be solved. Sadly, that’s not the only concern I have.

As I’ve told you before, a brand new National ID scheme is also included in this bill.

Under the National ID scheme, the Department of Homeland Security would create a massive new photo database to include names, ages, and Social Security numbers of every single American.

The database would be tied to a biometric National ID card to include photos – and soon, perhaps even things like fingerprints and retinal scans.

Before hiring, employers would be required to check the names against the federal database.

And if you don't get one, you'd be barred from working legally.

But how long before you'd be required to show your National ID card to rent a house, open a bank account or even buy groceries?

How long before you'd be required to be checked against the Department of Homeland Security's National Database before you could buy a firearm?

You and I have already seen President Obama's IRS vastly abuse their power over American citizens.

The NSA scandal sends shivers down many Americans spines.

And we're supposed to believe this power won't be abused?

With this new database, our federal government could not only create an easy national gun registry – but a registry of everything else about our lives.

You and I must do everything we can to defeat this bill.

Won’t you please call your Senators at once?

You can reach them at:

Please tell them to vote "NO!" on this so-called “Immigration Reform” Bill.

And, if you can, please chip in $10 or $20 to help me mobilize Americans in the final crucial hours before this vote.

In liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. This week, the United States Senate will be voting to end debate on the so-called “Immigration Reform” Bill and proceed to final passage.

Considering what we know about the bill – including just “trusting” the White House to secure the border and imposing a new National ID card – you and I must fight back.

So please call your U.S. Senators at once at:

(202) 224-3121

Urge them to vote “NO!” on this so-called “Immigration Reform Bill.”
