July 15th in Washington, D.C.: Anti-Amnesty March and Rally
Although this is not a NumbersUSA event, we are forwarding information to members who may be interested in attending.
Dear activist,
The
Black American Leadership Alliance (BALA) has organized an anti-amnesty
march and rally -- the DC March for Jobs -- in Washington, D.C. on
Monday, July 15th. The goal is to "demand that our leaders reject
amnesty, enforce immigration laws as written, and support policies that
put black U.S. citizens back to work."
As
their web site notes, if the Gang of Eight's immigration bill is
enacted, it "will be costly for all Americans, but will harm black
American workers more than any other group. Mass immigration and amnesty
puts those poorest Americans from all walks of life out of work and
suppresses wages, causing them to compete with aliens willing to work in
poorer working conditions for cheaper pay. When 22 million Americans
are either out of work or unemployed, now is no time to further
over-saturate the labor force with increased immigration levels and
amnesty. If Congress doesn't stop this irresponsible legislation, the
United States will continue to see more and more Americans of all races
out of jobs and on the streets."
The list of speakers for the event includes:
Former Rep. Alan West (Fla.);
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.);
State Sen. Elbert Guillory (R-La.);
Frank Morris, former Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation;
Mike Cutler, former INS Agent; and
Dennis Michael Lynch, filmmaker .
