Jeff Flake, Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, North Carolina’s Sen. Thom Tillis, South Carolina’s Sen. Lindsey Graham and Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly met Tuesday with a group of two Democratic and five GOP Senators who are pushing for a large, unpopular and pro-business amnesty in early January, according to news reports.

The SUCCEED Act: Another Immigration Reform Failure

Congress has not repealed Obamacare. Can they succeed on tax reform? How about on immigration? The House of Representatives passed meaningful immigration-based legislation. From the US Senate, David Perdue and Tom Cotton introduced the RAISE Act to put American workers first and limit immigration. Then there’s the SUCCEED Act from Senators Thom Tillis, James Lankford, and Orrin Hatch. They are pitching this “conservative” plan to help illegal youth previously sheltered by DACA.

Tillis’ bill stresses a much longer pathway to citizenship for the illegals. The DACA recipients have to pay taxes, go to school or serve in the military. After ten years they receive permanent legal status. After 15 years, they become citizens.



Tillis and Company have announced that the SUCCEED Act has bipartisan support. Really?

Let’s look at some of these interested parties:

1.       The U.S. Chamber of Commerce: These guys are bipartisan in every way, since they have purchased lawmakers on both sides of the aisle--at the cost of American taxpayers. They want amnesty, open borders, and cheap labor, all of which hurt American sovereignty and workers.
2.       IBM: Another major corporation look for hi-tech skills at a low cost, again at the expense of Americans. IBM has more employees in India than in the United States. H-1B Abuse! Is it any surprise that many American youth are rejecting STEM career paths?
3.       Former Democratic Governor, presidential candidate, and DNC Chair Howard Dean. What a ringing endorsement. Yeeargh!
4.       Hispanic Leadership Fund President Mario H. Lopez. The Fund touts “Free trade”, which amounts to open borders, and they push the canard that our immigration system is broken.
5.       National Immigration Forum Executive Director Ali Noorani. His biggest interest? Helping “New Americans”. Check his website. (“New Americans” is another PC phrase for illegal aliens.)
6.       The LIBRE Initiative: The Koch Brothers are the main backers of this libertarian, Hispanic outreach program. They are part of the “right-wing open border conspiracy”, sharply criticized by Bernie Sanders of all people.



Just because something is touted as “bipartisan” doesn’t mean that We the People want it. In California, Cap and Trade, gas tax hikes, and forced vaccination bills have passed with one or two votes from Republicans. Take your “bipartisan support” and shove it. Notice also that the SUCCEED Act sponsors left out immigration enforcement think-tanks. Jessica Vaughn of the Center for Immigration Studies has criticized the SUCCEED Act: “It is agreeing to an amnesty, without the U.S. gaining anything. It’s not moderating immigration in any way.”

Vaughn’s concern ties into the second problem with the SUCCEED Act: border security and deterrence. Most of the illegal alien crime come across the border. Will this legislation prevent another wave of illegal alien youths swarming our borders? Tillis tries to undercut this criticism: “The SUCCEED Act includes proactive measures that will help deter illegal immigration, including curtailing visa overstays, a major source of illegal immigration.” They want to tackle VISA overstays, but the most lethal illegal immigration issues take place at the border. We need the wall, tripled the border control and E-Verify! There is nothing in this legislation to assure that those measures come first.

What about chain migration? This bill targets the kids who are now all grown up. What about the parents, cousins, aunts, and all the other family members twice removed or related to the in-laws? The legislation will prevent chain migration, sponsorship for the illegal kids waiting for legal status following the conditional program. BUT … once the DACA kids go from conditional to legal status to fully naturalized citizenship, they can sponsor families, loved ones. Not good. After breaking the law as unauthorized migrants, they get away with the crime, and then they can bring in the family. Any discussions about having SUCCEED and RAISE together cannot work. Tillis’ bill naively ignores rampant DACA fraud, too. One estimate suggests that 40% of the DACA recipients shouldn’t have enrolled for the status to begin with. What about the children of these DACA kids, who are legal residents? We have another generation of “anchor babies”, and no action will be taken to remedy the abuses of the 14th Amendment.



But the SUCCEED Act proposal will create jobs, right? Tillis cites the Niskanen Center analysis of the SUCCEED Act: 117,000 new jobs, increased GDP by $81 billion, with a total federal revenue income of $22 billion over ten years. Of course, Amnesty Tom doesn’t mention the costs—and they will be considerable. By the way, the Niskansen center invests its resources in promoting environmentalism, immigration reform, and civil rights through libertarian principles. Huh?

And what about opinions from other immigration enforcement activists and groups?

Agnes Gibboney, the head of Parents of Murdered Children (her son Ron da Silva was murdered by an illegal alien), seemed receptive to the legislation, until she learned that the DACA kids can sponsor their parents once they achieve citizenship: “I don't like that. In that case say NO to SUCCEED ACT and DACA.”

Robin Hvidston, Executive Director for We the People Rising slammed the Senators’ attention to foreign nationals instead of American citizens: “Where is the US Foster Care SUCCEED Act? There are more than 600,000 veterans at this moment in need of medical care.  Where is their SUCCEED Act?”

Finally, Tim Lyng of The Remembrance Project shared: “Americans must be placed first.  Congress has not made an effort to assist American families who have been injured or whose loved ones were killed.”



By the way, the SUCCEED Act is not a conservative solution, since conservatism advocates for the rule of law, legal equity, national sovereignty, and protection of individual liberty and prosperity of citizens, free from the intervention of special interests from the state. I had an open mind, but not for an open borders proposal. The SUCCEED Act is another immigration “reform” failure. The US Senators would be better off doing nothing on immigration, and just allow the Executive Branch continue to enforce our immigration laws.

Call Thom Tillis: We Want Americans, not Illegals, to SUCCEED

For many reasons, Americans across the country should welcome that US Senator Thom Tillis knocked out Kay Hagan in 2014.

She was a liberal witch more interested in making Washington rich rather than allowing America to be great.

Unfortunately, this Tillis guy missed on key signal from the American public.

We do not want amnesty of any kind. We the People put our foot down very hard with the US Senate and House of Representatives

Call US Senator Thom Tillis:

"We want Americans to succeed, not illegal aliens!

"We want American child first!

"We want illegal aliens deported, regardless of their age.

"Pull your bill immediately!

"Fund the Wall, ICE, and Border Security!

"Co-Sponsor the RAISE Act with Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue!"

The SUCCEED Act

Last week, I introduced the Solution for Undocumented Children through Careers Employment Education and Defending our nation (SUCCEED) Act, a solution to address the legal uncertainty facing undocumented children who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own.
 
The SUCCEED Act provides a fair but rigorous track for undocumented children to qualify for conditional permanent resident (CPR) status, requiring them to follow one or a combination of three specific pathways to earn and maintain their status once they become adults: being gainfully employed, pursing postsecondary or vocational education, or serving in the U.S. military.
 


On Monday, I held a held a press conference with Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) to introduce the SUCCEED Act.


Watch the video HERE.


Bipartisan Praise

The SUCCEED Act is earning bipartisan praise for its reasonable and realistic approach, and has received positive feedback from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, IBM, Former Democratic Governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean, Hispanic Leadership Fund President Mario H. Lopez, New American Economy President John Feinblatt, Niskanen Center President Jerry Taylor, TechNet President & CEO Linda Moore, National Immigration Forum Executive Director Ali Noorani, FWD.us, and the LIBRE Initiative.

"Under the measure, known as the Succeed Act and co-sponsored by GOP Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and James Lankford (Okla.), dreamers would be granted what amounts to a 15-year pathway to citizenship, during which they would be required to graduate from college, serve in the military or maintain steady employment. After 10 years, they’d be eligible for permanent legal residence, though it would come with a significant asterisk: Unlike other green-card holders, they could not sponsor foreign-born relatives for entry into the United States. That doesn’t strike us as too high a price to settle the dreamers issue once and for all..."

Angel Mom: "I'm So Tired of" Amnesty Talk! Americans First!

Angel Mom Sabine Durden lost her only son Dominic to an illegal alien.

For all the pain and suffering that Americans have endured in this country, the political class in Washington is determined to put the needs of illegal aliens ahead of American citizens.

Dominic Durden (Dom) and his mother Sabine
Dom was killed by an illegal alien

Why do we have to wonder what to do about the illegals? What about American citizens? We did not send elected officials to Washington DC to fret about illegal foreigners who broke into our country--and in the process dragged their children into the country, too.

Sabine Durden shared her frustration on Twitter regarding the latest iteration of piece-meal amnesty from Washington politicos:

Success needs to be for citizens, not for illegal aliens. Success belongs to those who enter the United States legally and want to make a merited difference in Making America Great Again.

What is the matter with these corrupted, overly-sympathizing elected officials? They are not just deaf, they are heartless and uncaring.



They need to feel the wrath of the voters!

Call Senator Thom Tillis and James Lankford.

Let them know that Success belongs to American citizens and legal residents who have already followed the pathway to citizenship!

For Americans to Succeed, US Senate Must Reject the Covert Amnesty "SUCCEED" Act

Federation for American Immigration Reform
Senators Tillis and Lankford Unveil MASSIVE Amnesty Bill


Earlier today, Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and James Lankford (R-OK) unveiled a broad amnesty for MILLIONS of illegal aliens as a legislative "solution" for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Their bill, the SUCCEED Act, would cover three times as many illegal aliens as the DACA program and provide a path to citizenship. Also, the bill contains no immigration enforcement provisions. It is a clean amnesty - plain and simple.

After the election of a president who ran on the promise of real immigration enforcement, these Republican lawmakers have abandoned any pretense of support for sound immigration management and the rule of law. They must hear your voice loud and clear.
Call Sens. Tillis and Lankford and tell them you OPPOSE their massive amnesty bill - the SUCCEED Act.

Also remind them that President Trump was elected on a mandate from the American people to put forth a multi-pronged plan for immigration enforcement and legal immigration reform, which includes:
  • Passage of the RAISE Act, which will move the nation to a merit-based legal immigration system;
  • Senate passage of Kate's Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, already passed in the House with strong bi-partisan support;
  • Construction of the border wall;
  • Increased interior immigration enforcement;
  • Mandatory, nationwide E-Verify.
Sen. Tillis can be reached at 202-224-6342 and Sen. Lankford can be reached at 202-224-5754. FAIR also encourages you to make your voice heard on their social media pages.
Thank you for holding these pro-amnesty lawmakers accountable.
