I like this article on the SAVE Act because at the bottom it includes a link that easily helps you send an email to your representatives complete with talking points you can insert.

They will keep it this until they wear out opposition. Their side is financed, energized and has a distinct voter block to be pandered to. All perfect ingredients for a ‘Minority Tyranny’ style solution and one which most of our weak willed Pols will be unable to resist.

Look at the vote by the senate giving builders welfare, knowing that they are one of the principle blocks of business that employee illegals and also one of the main reasons for the bogus run up in over priced homes. The chamber of commerce owns and operates the politicians in this country.
And to hell with Joe citizen!!

Without any doubt. It is all about power now in Washington. They could care less about the will and the needs of the REAL CITIZENS of America who do not need or want pandering and handouts.

One of the most common sense pieces of legislation to come out of the Congress in years. Thus, it will likely fail.

It was never a "real" piece of legislation. It was merely campaign strategy.
OTOH, there is a real piece of immigration related legislation in the House. The GOP has a bill to raise the H2B quota, but the dems are holding it hostage as a way of retaliating against the GOP over the SAVE act.

I am in complete support of it. It has bi-partisan support. It addresses workplace enforcement which I feel is the best way to deal with illegal immigration. It enhances border security. I’d like to have seen a provision that allows the SSA to hand over all no match docs to ICE and more funding for the fence.

What about provisions that will make YOU get permission from the government to work? Is that part of this? Do you know?

The centerpiece of H.R. 4088 is phasing in the E-Verify program. Over four years, all employers would eventually use this web-based system.

“It was never a “real” piece of legislation. It was merely campaign strategy.”
Initially it was. But now, with the discharge petition, it has a chance(albiet a slim one) of going to the floor for a vote. If people put as much energy into passing the SAVE Act as they did into stopping last summer’s midnight backroom immigration reform bill, it would pass.

BTW, I was pinging someone that I knew had studied these provisions in-depth.

I am not clear on what you are concerned about. Is is about the E-verify provisions? Can you be more specific?

Can you point out for me which provision can be construed this way? And how you’ve came to construe it this way? I am not trying to be disrespectful or put you on the defensive. Many’s the time I have read legislation where I missed the “unintended” consequences.

My understanding of “E-Verify” is that you’ll have to be in the data base compiled by the feds in order to work. That’s more than troublesome. What if you’re not on their approved list?

Oh, and, do you really want the feds compiling this list in the first place?
