Call to protest the new bill to drastically increase the largest population boom in U.S. history through amnesty and foreign worker importation.
On January 4, 2007, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 was introduced, cosponsored by Senate Judiciary Committee chair Leahy.
Although the bill currently contains no substantive language, it is clear that it provides for the wish list of the Chamber of Commerce and President Bush for an endless supply of cheap labor and amnesty for illegal aliens without considering the destructive effect that a massive increase in population would have on the country.
In his press release announcing the bill, Sen. Leahy said that "we need to bring people out of the shadows." His press release goes on to state that we need to "increase the number of low-skilled work visas issued each year to keep up with the needs of our economy."

Always be polite but firm. You can make a very successful phone call by simply stating your name and a few talking points.
Talking point: As someone who is concerned about the environment, I respectfully ask you to reconsider S. 9.
Talking point: According to David Pimentel of Cornell University, "The U.S. population consumes more than twice as much energy as is collected from sunlight by all the green plants in the United States." Nevertheless, the U.S. in on pace to add another 100 million people to its shores by 2050. Immigration will account for over three-quarters of this growth; that percentage will only rise if the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act is enacted.
Talking point: Americans have been an environmentally-conscious people for years now, but our efforts have been undercut by forced population growth by our government. Immigration has accounted for more than three-quarters of U.S. population growth since the first Earth Day in 1970.
Talking point: Since the first Earth Day in 1970, the U.S. population has grown by nearly 100 million people (approximately the same number of people currently living west of the Mississippi). Immigrants and their children account for more than three-fourths of that growth. At current immigration rates, U.S. population will have grown from 203 million people in 1970 to 400 million people by 2050.
