I know this isn't a "Sportman's Issue" but I think it's an important issue. I wanted to share it and didn't know where else to post it. Besides, it seems to be slowing down in here a little, especially with Dan agreeing with Buzz
So what do you guys think about this?
Tancredo Introduces Immigration Moratorium Bill
2/28/03
Good news! Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has introduced a bill to reduce legal immigration from one million a year to approximately 300,000. H.R. 946, the Mass Immigration Reduction Act of 2003, would enact a five-year moratorium on many categories of immigration, including extended adult relatives, and would significantly cut back on the number of skilled workers and refugees. It also would eliminate the visa waiver program.

Now is the time to start building support for this bill!
Please email your Member of Congress and ask him or her to co-sponsor this critical immigration reform bill.
If your member is already a cosponsor, send an email to thank him or her for supporting reducing legal immigration to more sensible levels.
Current cosponsors are:
Tom Tancredo (R-CO)
Nathan Deal (R-GA)
John Duncan (R-TN)
Virgil Goode (R-VA)
Steve King (R-IA)
Sam Johnson (R-TX)
Charlie Norwood (R-GA)
Here are some points you may want to make in your email:
More than 30 million immigrants have settled in the United States since 1970. Now our cities, schools, health care systems, labor markets, and environment all need a break. We cannot provide high quality education, health care, and retirement security for our own people if we continue to bring in endless numbers of poor, unskilled immigrants.
Current immigration levels are so high that immigration officials are unable to thoroughly screen immigrants before allowing them into the country-as September 11, 2001 tragically underscored. Just as one would shut off the main water valve before attempting to fix a leaky pipe, the U.S. needs to turn off the flow while we repair a dysfunctional policy.
Stopping most forms of immigration temporarily would allow us time to devise an immigration policy that truly meets national needs. It would also allow us to concentrate on stopping the massive illegal immigration problem and regaining control of our borders.
To send an email about this bill, go to FAIR's Action Alert and enter your zip code.
