Military Amnesty\u2019s Next Stop: House Floor<\/h3>\n

Thanks to your hard work, we successfully kept an amnesty from being attached to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)<\/a> as it was amended in the House Armed Services Committee<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

As you know, California Republican Jeff Denham<\/a> had been furiously lobbying<\/a> to have his “ENLIST Act,” H.R. 2377<\/a>, \u00a0amnesty added to the annual defense spending bill during yesterday’s Armed Services Committee hearing. If adopted, his bill would allow certain illegal aliens to not only join the U.S. military, but would require the Department of Homeland Security to grant them green cards and make them immediately eligible for citizenship upon enlistment.<\/p>\n

However, Rep. Denham and the amnesty lobby<\/a> lost to true immigration reform when late last night the top Democrat on the committee offered and withdrew an amendment based on the ENLIST Act because he knew they did not have the support to attach it.<\/p>\n

Though true immigration reformers won a huge victory, the fight is not yet over.<\/strong> Rep. Denham has vowed to get his legislation passed one way or another! He is expected to offer his amnesty bill as an amendment to the NDAA when it comes to the House floor for a vote later this month. Worse yet, he recently told reporters he wants his legislation to be voted on as a standalone bill \u2014 as opposed to an amendment to another bill \u2014 in May or early June.<\/p>\n

With so many opportunities for Rep. Denham to slip his amnesty past the American people, we need your help now! Tell your House Representative to oppose H.R. 2377 \u2014 and any similar efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens in exchange for joining the military \u2014 TODAY!<\/b><\/p>\n
