Urge Senate to Demand Worker Verification in Jobs Bill! From Numbers USA

Urge Senate to Demand Worker Verification in Jobs Bill!

The Senate has passed a jobs bill, seeking to put many unemployed Americans back to work. Unfortunately they refused to include any worker verification provisions that would prevent illegal aliens from also gaining access to U.S. jobs. American workers will continue to face unneeded competition for jobs, as long as illegal aliens will be allowed continuous access to our job markets.

Countless times already the American public has spoken loud and clear about their disapproval for illegal aliens being allowed to work U.S. jobs while the government does nothing to stop it. Tell your Senators that without worker verification, many Americans will continue to be left out of the jobs they rightfully deserve.

DEAR SEN. (Your Senator’s Names Will Appear Here),

I was disappointed to learn that the recent jobs bill (H.R. 2847) did not contain American worker protections. Please ensure that the next jobs bill has E-Verify provisions.

More than 15 million Americans are unemployed, but more than 8 million illegal aliens have jobs. Doesn’t this seem unjust and unfair to you? I hope so, because I find it downright appalling.

Unfortunately, H.R. 2847 will help unemployed illegal aliens (and would-be illegal aliens) just as much as it helps unemployed American workers because it does not mandate the use of the E-Verify system.

I know you could not have modified this jobs bill because no amendments were allowed, but I expect you to support an E-Verify amendment to the next jobs bill (which the Senate will take up soon).

Your constituents are depending on your to create jobs for unemployed Americans, not illegal aliens. Please don’t let us down.

Sincerely,
(Your Name Will Appear Here)

E-Verify about to pass State Wide in Indiana and my Email to our State Legislation

E-Verify about to pass State Wide in Indiana and my Email to our State Legislation.

The Indiana Senate overwhelmingly passed Sen. Mike Delph’s E-Verify bill by a 46-to-4 margin. The bill now moves to the House for its approval.

If passed in the House, the bill would require state agencies and contractors to verify worker eligibility of all new hires using E-Verify. According to DHS data, 96.9% of U.S. citizens and legal residents receive immediate confirmation. Of the remaining 3.1%, 0.3% eventually receive a confirmation, and the remaining 2.8% are ineligible to work.

Currently, 10 states have passed E-Verify mandates, and another three states have executive orders in place requiring its usage. (View a map of these states.)

Although, we are getting this done at the County Level without the Liberal Assembly, it would be nice for you to do the right thing and get it passed state wide, that way, we won’t have to keep bothering you about it.  We will continue our campaign to get this in place in Maryland.  We are taking our state back, piece by piece.  You all do know what Undocumented Means, correct?  It means you are here Illegally.  That my fellow Marylanders is called, breaking the law.

Map of States with Mandatory E-Verify Laws – My Letter to the Maryland State House Assembly

Dear State House Assembly, I guess Maryland is missing the boat.  Surely this would affect all Illegal Aliens that have taken our Jobs and the business’s that are breaking the laws by hiring them under the table.  I know the Casa De Maryland Delegation would never let this fly, but we will continue to pressure you to pass this bill.  Casa De Maryland and their Gang of Marauders should not be allowed to testify on any bill unless they are here legally.  Again, we are holding all those Senators and Delegates that voted to give Casa De Maryland over 1 million dollars of tax payer dollars accountable during the next election, including my Senator from Washington County, Don Munson the only Republican Senator to do so.  Maryland tax payers are also paying 1.4 billion dollars a year for these Illegal Aliens according to the FAIR Study and Maryland Dept of Planning.

E-Verify is an Internet-based system operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-Verify is currently free to employers and is available in all 50 states. It provides an automated link to federal databases to help employers determine employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their Social Security numbers. While its usage remains voluntary throughout the country, some states have passed legislation making its use mandatory for certain businesses.

Victory in New Jersey! Vote on In-State Tuition Bill Canceled

Monday, January 11, 2010, 11:05 PM EST – posted on NumbersUSA

Rutgers University

A vote scheduled in the New Jersey state senate to allow illegal aliens to receive state-subsidized, in-state tuition rates at the state’s colleges and universities was canceled on Monday. The bill’s sponsor said he lacked the necessary votes to pass the measure when Senators came under constituent pressure, in-part due to phone calls from NumbersUSA Members.

“We just don’t have enough votes,” said N.J. Sen. Ronald Rice.

“I’m hugely disappointed. This was a matter of fairness,” said Sen. M. Teresa Ruiz.

If passed, the bill would have allowed the estimated 2,000 illegal aliens in New Jersey who attended a New Jersey high school for at least three years and hold a diploma or equivalent pay reduced rates. The in-state tuition rate in New Jersey is about $11,000, half as much as the out-of-state rate.

Governor-elect Chris Christie will be sworn in next week, and he opposes the measure, so legislators will be unable to bring back up the issue while he’s in office.
