U.S. Border Security Council Executive Director Brice Griffin is warning the Council's supporters that pro-illegal amnesty forces in Washington are gaining momentum. Griffin says that with¬out more grassroots pressure and support from across the nation, the "firewall" of opposition to Amnesty Plus (Senate bill S.9) may not hold.

"The White House and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are getting ready to try to steam roll this bill through Congress," Griffin warns. "From my vote tally and from the way the pro-illegal alien supporters are acting, I believe they are getting close to being able to pass S.9."

Recently the White House hosted a massive "Fiesta Latina" party on the White House lawn that was televised by the Spanish language television station Telemundo. "Although this taxpayer-financed party wasn't specifically billed as a kickoff effort in support of the new amnesty bill, it sure looked like it," explains Griffin.

Griffin also points out that the White House and the Congres¬sional Hispanic Caucus have been meeting regularly and that immi¬gration "reform" is probably the very next item on the administra¬tions's agenda after health care.

"The fight is now on," explains Griffin. "I need all our supporters to send in their petitions, to call their Congressmen, and to make a financial contribution to our efforts right now," she says.
According to Griffin, pro-illegal alien forces now have the votes in the Senate to pass S.9. "Democrats combined with a number of Repub¬licans like John McCain and Lind¬sey Graham now have at least 60 votes to ram through amnesty. We are going to continue fighting in the Senate but, in reality, the House is our only hope," she explains. "The House of Representatives is our Alamo, and we need the American people to rally to our defense. The fate of our nation is truly at stake."

Griffin is sending out an emer¬gency plea to all U.S. Border Security Council supporter across the country asking for immediate grassroots and financial support. "The American people need to bombard Congress with petitions and phone calls. And they need to support the U.S. Border Security Council financially. In this battle we are being outspent probably one thousand-to-one. I need emergency money for ads and additional grass¬roots programs. The situation is getting desperate," urges Griffin.

According to sources both on and off Capitol Hill, the adminis¬tration would like to start pushing the Amnesty bill through Congress as early as this spring.
