    To: Rep Todd Tiahrt,Rep. Dennis MooreRep. Jerry MoranWe are extremely disappoined that you have not joined the 91 original Co-sponsors of the SAVE act Today.

    Kansas is becoming one of the safe havens in our country for ILLEGAL aliens as other states and cities make stronger enforcement laws to discourage ILLEGAL immigration.

    .The principle behind Attrition Through Enforcement is that living illegally in the United States will become more difficult and less satisfying over time when the government – at ALL LEVELS – enforces all of the laws already on the books. It is also imperative that the government with the full cooperation of the private sector, implements certain workplace enforcement measures. The goal is to make it extremely difficult for unauthorized persons to live and work in the United States. There is no need for taxpayers to watch the government spend billions of their dollars to round up and deport illegal aliens; they will buy their own bus or plane tickets back home if they can no longer earn a living here.

    We know Attrition Through Enforcement works because, in states that have passed tough new laws to penalize employers of and deny public benefits to illegal aliens, the illegal aliens began to move out of those states, often before the new laws are even implemented.

    There is no better word of mouth advertising than having some return to their homeland and tell their friends and family that they have to use the legal immigration system to work in the USA.

    We encourage you to rethink your position on this great opportunity to enforce the laws we currently have while reducing the current MAGNETS that attract ILLEGAL immigrants

    Again, as I just said on the “library location,” can’t we keep these intra-WE blogger personality battles on the “open-thread” rather than letting them extend into other blog threads and ruining it for everybody?
