The Numbers Fight

NumbersUSA EXECUTIVE alert 
Roy Beck
  We told DHS this would happen!

Will you send $10 this month to help fellow citizens fight the border surge?
I Will Give

Not this time
Storming of our southwest border was spurred by talk of August amnesty and no deportations
Together, we can fight relocations in your state & change destructive policies
Dear friends,
There isn't much satisfaction in saying "I told you so" when being right means our nation is at such risk at the moment.
But when we met on your behalf with top DHS officials in their headquarters office last month, we warned them. We said that the Administration's statements and actions extolling the humanitarian needs of illegal aliens and promising not to deport most of them were threatening to create chaos on the borders.
They didn't change. And the chaos ensued.
What do we do next?
We have to keep pushing everybody in government to send the right signals to the rest of the world that we won't let them in without an invitation.
1)    You and we already have been mobilized into action over the last week of this crisis. And  we will be aggressively offering ways for our email and Facebook network of nearly 3 million citizens to stop the dispersal of the most recent illegal aliens across the country, possibly to your own community.
The Associated Press reports today that government officials are admitting that once younger border crossers are released into the interior, they almost never leave.
2)   Our continuing full financial support is keeping alive a two-year legal effort by immigration enforcement agents who are challenging the Administration's right to unilaterally prohibit various immigration law enforcement methods. The administrative policies in violation of Congress-passed laws helped precipitate the current border crisis. The federal judge who first heard the case said the agents' lawyers made a convincing argument that the Obama Administration is violating federal immigration laws. But the judge said he couldn't issue a restraining order yet because the immigration agents had not exhausted all administrative remedies.
So,the agents have been going through the administrative grievances process,while simultaneously appealing the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. From the beginning NumbersUSA has made this judicial challenge possible by promising the courageous agents that we will pay to take this as far as the Supreme Court -- if that is what it takes to protect the agents' ability to obey federal immigration laws designed to protect us.
Keep in mind that part of the reason Central Americans are rushing the border is that the Obama Administration has been sending signals that if Congress doesn't pass an amnesty by August, the Administration will just provide as much of an amnesty as possible on its own. It is this kind of lawlessness that the immigration agents' lawsuit is trying to prevent.
100% of the costs of NumbersUSA Action's grassroots pressure on Congress has to be supported by the $10, $25 and $100 donations made on-line or through checks in the mail by citizens like you. This is truly a grassroots effort without the support of foundations, governments or large individual contributions.
All other educational, legal and media activities are provided by the NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation which is primarily supported by wealthy donors. But IRS rules won't allow them to cover all the costs. In fact, we can't accept those large donations unless donors like you collectively give us a thousand dollars for every two thousand dollars those major donors give us.
So you see, I cannot overstate how absolutely essential it is that as many citizens as possible donate at least something to keeping this NumbersUSA activism and educational machine running.
