Evangelicals Announce Mobilizing Strategy for Immigration Reform
More than 150 influential evangelical Christians across America, including Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, endorsed an “Evangelical Statement of Principles for Immigration Reform” released on Tuesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill. Following the press event, prominent evangelical leaders delivered these principles to leadership from the Obama administration, Senate and House of Representatives.
Evangelical leaders formally announced the creation of an “Evangelical Immigration Table” to advance a cohesive immigration reform message and strategy while building political will in the pews. The leaders made the case that humane immigration reform should be a moral priority.
The Evangelical Immigration Table ran on Tuesday a full page ad in Politico announcing their principles for immigration reform and listing the 150 evangelical leaders endorsing the principles. The Table also released a radio ad that will begin running next week on Christian radio stations in Colorado and Florida. Further ad buys and earned media work will target publications and geographic areas with high populations of evangelical and Hispanic voters.

And whose going to pay $$$$$$$$ for the new benefits illegal aliens will be eligible for??? You guest it. You
When This happens Ill go into Business inventing a bumper sticker that says:
WORK HARDER U.S. CITIZENS! MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE COUNTING ON YOU !
Because the Just As California Fiscal Collapse is being brought by an overwhelming amount of illegal Immigration it will now be coming to a Federal Budget Near You!
Let me explain:
California has been a santuary state now for forty and years and price of this is comming home to roost.
Thats because Californias budget cannot keep up with the growth in services that illegal aliens demand.
This tax exhaustion by Californians is due to the elimination of the "moral hazard" of illegals coming to California and it's become worse. Where still encourging this by making our state a "sacturary state" by bailing out the millions of illegal aliens for 40 years now.(Effectly granting psedo Amnesty to illegals in california and letting them use entitlements they never paid for)
Now Imagine a Federal Law Granting Blanket Amnesty(ooops I ment earn path to citizenship) adding 20 million plus low skilled, low wages former illegal alliens to the already Broken Entitlement System(I.e Medicaid, medicare, social security) will break this country's Fisical Back. You thought that GW Bush engaged in stupid fisical funding errors (tax cuts for the rich, 2 wars, drug prescription benefits ect.) You ain't seen nothing Yet! KISS YOUR RETIREMENT FUTURES GOOD BYE because the New Sucking sound of formarly illegal aliens who are now legal when Amnesty passes will make those entitlements go poof! And dont tell me they'll be paying more into the system than they are going to take out either. They have not been paying taxes on their wages for 40 years. Do you think they'll agree to a $40,000 surcharge to get legal? No way Jose. This country is headed towards total Budget Collapse If Amnesty passes Period!

This will help the economy as there are labor shortages in agriculture and the restaurant industry. Laws such as SB1070 are hurting businesses which has spurred them to lobby the federal government for immigration reform. It's about time because every election this becomes a wedge issue. Enough already. We need to legalize the people who are already here and then close the border.
