U.S. Supreme Court Upheld State E-Verify Legislation – Tell Legislators To Pass Mandatory E-Verify Bill







Tell State Sen. to Stop Blocking HB 12




By a 5-3 vote, the Supreme Court upheld Arizona's law that penalizes businesses for hiring workers who are in the United States illegally, rejecting arguments that states have no role in immigration matters. The court said that federal immigration law gives states the authority to impose sanctions on employers who hire unauthorized workers.





Tell Texas legislators to pass a bill!





Please call and email House Speaker Joe Straus and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (leader of the Texas Senate) with the message:









“The U.S. Supreme Court just upheld the right of states to pass mandatory E-Verify laws. Texans want a mandatory E-Verify law for all employers NOW! Adopt mandatory E-Verify and anti-sanctuary city legislation as part of one of the three remaining immigration bills – HB 12, HB 2734 or SB 9.”













Speaker Joe Straus - (512) 463-1000 Email form





Lt. Governor David Dewhurst - (512) 463-0001 Email form





Please call and email your Rep. and Senator with the message:









“The U.S. Supreme Court just upheld the right of states to pass mandatory E-Verify laws. I am a constituent who wants a mandatory E-Verify law for all employers NOW! Adopt mandatory E-Verify and anti-sanctuary city legislation as part of one of the three remaining immigration bills – HB 12, HB 2734 or SB 9.”

Tell State Senator to Stop Blocking Anti-Sanctuary Bill





The Houston Chronicle reports that Sen. Kirk Watson appears to be blocking consideration of HB 12 – the anti-sanctuary bill – on the Senate floor. Here is a portion of the article:









“While the Senate rules allow for a simple majority to debate House bills on Wednesday, House Bill 12 would require a vote of two-thirds of the Senate if it is brought up out of order on the list of bills on the Senate's agenda.





Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, a stalwart opponent of the sanctuary city bill, has a bill ahead of House Bill 12 on the calendar. Until Watson agrees to debate his bill, House Bill 12 would require a vote of two-thirds of the Senate to take it out of order.





Watson declined to comment on his intentions, but it appeared unlikely he would pass his bill and allow the sanctuary city debate to go forward. Lawmakers declined to predict whether an effort would be made to attach the proposal to another bill.”









All Texas NumbersUSA members are encouraged to call and email Sen. Watson with the message:

“I read that you are using Senate rules to delay consideration of HB 12. Shame on you. Stop blocking HB 12.





Law enforcement officers, citizens, and other residents (both legal and illegal) have been killed or suffered severe injury because sanctuary policies allow criminal illegal aliens to live in our communities without fear. This "magnet" must end this session."
