Jeffrey (CNSNews.com) - Rep. Ted Poe (R.-Texas), who served for 30 years as a Texas prosecutor and judge before being elected to Congress, introduced legislation last week designed to force President Barack Obama to deploy a minimum of 10,000 National Guard troops at the U.S. Mexico border for the specific purpose of patrolling the border and intercepting aliens and smugglers attempting to cross illegally into the United States. The legislation would allow the president to deploy more than 10,000 National Guardsmen, but not fewer, and would leave the National Guard troops under the supervision of the governor in the border state where they are deployed   ************************************************* 5.  From FAIR Senator Menendez Introduces Amnesty Bill Day Before Congressional Recess In a final attempt to woo amnesty advocates into the voting booths this November, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee Chairman, introduced an amnesty bill late Wednesday evening as Congress was poised to recess for the midterm elections. The 874-page bill, entitled Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010, would exponentially increase the number of immigrants in the country to unprecedented levels by granting amnesty to the estimated 13 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S., permitting them to bring in their spouses, children, and other relatives from other countries, and by issuing hundreds of thousands of new green cards through the process the authors call "recapture."

Georgia Debates Barring Illegal Aliens from Attending State Universities A special committee formed by the Georgia Board of Regents, the body of Georgia's state government that oversees the University of Georgia system, recommended last week that illegal aliens be prohibited from attending the state's publicly funded colleges and universities. The committee also recommended that all Georgia colleges and universities verify whether admitted students seeking in-state tuition are in the country legally (illegal aliens are not eligible for in-state tuition in Georgia). The recommendation arose following increasing concerns over the costs of illegal aliens residing in the state.

Recently an internal draft memo, prepared for the head of the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS), was made public by a group of Senators who are demanding that Congress hold a hearing to investigate.  The memo, prepared by four senior officials in the USCIS, lists ways the government could help certain categories of illegal immigrants achieve permanent legal residence status and green cards—absent reform.  "In the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, CIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations," the memo said. A spokesman for the USCIS said the document was only a draft memo and should not be equated with actual policy.  But critics, including TSCL, say that the memo gives credence to the concern that the administration would try to execute a "back-door amnesty" plan that could add significant long-term costs to Social Security and Medicare. Sign TSCL's Totalization Petition now! A green card is an identification card issued to aliens in the U.S. who are in the process of becoming a permanent resident.  It serves as proof that the cardholder has officially been granted permission to reside and take employment in the U.S.— the very two things illegal workers must have to claim Social Security benefits.  Under current law, benefits claimed by former illegal workers may be based, at least in part, on unauthorized work.  When determining entitlement to Social Security benefits, the Social Security Administration uses all earnings, even for jobs worked while the immigrant was illegal. TSCL strongly opposes extending green cards to illegal immigrants by Administrative rule changes, and instead supports legislation that would protect Social Security by banning work credits based on unauthorized work.  Take Action!
