As a veteran, I must say that I am appalled that the Senate would vote to attach an amnesty bill (particularly one of this magnitude) to the Iraq supplemental bill. There are brave men and women dying who need your assistance, but it seems that some Senators would rather legalize illegal farm workers.
There is absolutely no need for any sort of amnesty, and particularly not one for agricultural workers. Farmers, orchardists, and other agribusiness-owners can take advantage of the H-2A program to attain seasonal help. The Senate Appropriations Committee's vote only helps the renegade businessmen who would rather hire illegal workers at the expense of Americans just to make a quick profit.
This vote in favor of amnesty is a vote against our brave men and women fighting in Iraq.
Did you also know that this amnesty bill also contains provisions to allow even more H-2B workers? We have more than enough foreign workers already, especially when one considers the number of unemployed American workers!
Please do your patriotic duty and either have the amnesty and foreign-worker provisions stripped from the Iraq supplemental funding bill or vote the entire bill down. Our brave servicemen and women risking their lives for our freedom deserve better than to be used in this manner.
Sincerely,
