It would appear that the Bush clan is up to no good when it comes to the amnesty issue and illegal's. It looks as if the White House has has put together a new plan but instead of presenting the plan to the congress or the public, they have taken to inviting certain members of congress to the White House so that they can sell them a certain bill of goods. See for yourself.

3/09/2007According to an e-mail that I received from NumbersUSA.com, the White House is trying to sneak one in on those who oppose amnesty.
(This is from the email)
The story from the White House is not yet entirely clear to us -- or to our allies in Congress. But this is what is emerging:While the media (and all of us activists) have been mostly focused on blocking Sen. Kennedy's latest (yet-unveiled) amnesty, Karl Rove and his White House crew have been shuttling Senators and Representatives in and out almost non-stop trying to build momentum for THEIR newly hatched attempt at an amnesty.
The groups trekking to the White House are mostly Republican but are including Democrats, too.
We are told that at least a few supposedly anti-amnesty Members of Congress have already given their approval to this new White House plan. Their willingness to do so is reportedly because the White House argues that new features make it possible to give illegal aliens citizenship without distracted voters recognizing that it is an amnesty.
Among the features appear to be echoes of the "step-out-step-in" portion of the Pence Amnesty plan from last year where at some point illegal aliens have crossed the border for a few hours or days before coming back in and applying for a path to citizenship.
Although the White House is not saying so directly, it appears that it plans to have a massive increase in annual green cards in order to accommodate the step-out-step-in citizenship applicants.
The White House is preying on the fear of many Members of Congress that if they don't soon pass something that looks like a solution to the 12 million illegal aliens, they will suffer political fallout.
Only you can make them more fearful of endorsing anything that allows illegal aliens to remain permanently in this country.
We must stop any momentum that may already have developed for introducing this.
Your own Members may already have given at least a tentative pledge of support.
