Sen Bill Nelson gets a D-


Senator Bill Nelson
SH-716, United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510


Dear Senator Nelson,

I am appalled that you continue to vote for legislation that would import more foreign labor and disemploy Americans.

Why have you been consistently voting in favor of a policy of importing around 140,000 foreign workers every month while our state's unemployment rate has soared even above the national average?

Most foreign workers who are brought into this country are an incredible drain on taxpayers, especially on those who pay property and sales taxes to state and local governments. The Heritage Foundation discovered that the typical household headed by a low-educated foreign worker uses $20,000 more in public services than paid in taxes -- with most of the net cost on state and local governments.

Our state and our nation is hurting. Please look deep inside your soul and determine whether you can continue to vote for policies that keep your fellow Americans unemployed and deprive them of social services. Many of your constituents are counting on you -- please don't let us down!

Sincerely,
