The powerful "elevator ad" is back up on CNN, reminding news watchers that Washington's politicians have only minimal concern for jobless Americans. With 15 million unemployed, the ad notes that our immigration system is still bringing in 1.5 million foreign workers each year. Not one Member of Congress has proposed suspending this insane federal attack on the working families of this country.

These incredible facts should be the No. 1 topic at Town Hall meetings this month.

TALK ABOUT THE ELEVATOR AD AT TOWN HALL MEETINGS

Before you go to a meeting, look up your Congressman to look at his/her immigration grade.

• If the grade is bad, demand that your Representative or Senator explain why he/she has continually insisted on more foreign workers instead of preserving dwindling U.S. jobs for citizens of this country (and permanent legal immigrants who already are here).
• If the grade is good, demand to know why your Senator or Representative has not introduced legislation to suspend most immigration until the Jobs Depression is over.

Not even our best ally in Congress has introduced an Immigration Suspension Bill.

And even though most Republican Members of Congress have stood up against any increase in foreign workers, the Republican congressional leadership has done nothing to champion the cause of unemployed Americans by highlighting the insanity of our continuing program of astronomical immigration numbers.

The Democratic leadership is even worse -- working daily to INCREASE the number of foreign workers.

THE INMATES INDEED ARE RUNNING THE INSANE ASYLUM

Wouldn't you think that in a democratic republic the elected representatives in a time of horrible unemployment would stop importing foreign workers?

But an Immigration Suspension is not even whispered in the halls of Congress.

This Jobs Depression is in its second year and the beleaguered U.S. worker still doesn't have a full champion in Congress.

Along with other immigration-reduction groups in the Coalition for the Future American Worker, NumbersUSA is using the Elevator Ad to draw attention to the U.S. Congress's continuing hostility to American workers. For the majority in Congress -- no matter what the issue -- immigration and corporations that demand foreign workers are always the top priority.

No matter how much the American people suffer. 

• Please post this ad everywhere you can.
• Please email this ad to everybody you know and ask them to spread this horrifying inconvenient truth that our federal government every day is importing immigrants to put yet more American workers out of a job.
• Underneath the ad on the YouTube page, please rate the ad and leave a comment to help spread the word. (Already, when you search for "elevator ad" on YouTube, this ad comes up first.)

And remind everybody that the immigrants and temporary foreign workers are not the culprits.  They are simply taking advantage of a system that is rigged against the American worker.

The culprits are your Senators and Representatives.

Even the best of them are not making jobless Americans a priority by fighting for an Immigration Suspension.

Send free faxes from our website to demand an Immigration Suspension that gives a break to vulnerable Americans.
