Sali Joins 96 Members of Congress Asking The
Speaker of the House to Reject Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants
"Amnesty Does Nothing to Secure Our Borders"
Washington, Apr 4 -
For Immediate Release
SALI JOINS 96 OTHERS ASKING SPEAKER PELOSI TO REJECT
AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bill Sali has joined 96 other members
of Congress in a bipartisan letter asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
to oppose efforts to grant amnesty to an estimated 12 million
illegal immigrants in the United States.
“We are united in
asking you not to bring amnesty legislation to the House floor," the
letter urged Pelosi.
“Amnesty does nothing to secure our
borders. I fear for the safety of my children, grandchildren and all
300 million Americans who live with the knowledge that there’s a
gaping hole in our national security. Our borders will not be
secured by granting legal status to illegal immigrants,” Sali said.
“Amnesty is brutally unfair to the many millions who entered the
United States legally. It trivializes the legal path to citizenship
by telling lawbreakers that their efforts are on par with those who
stood in line and entered the United States with permission.”
The letter concludes, "The United States has the most generous legal
immigration system in the world. We should take the side of American
workers and taxpayers, legal immigrants and the rule of law. Please
oppose any effort to put illegal immigration on the path to
amnesty."
