An urgent post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ about E-Verify going to the House Judiciary Calendar. This follows this post about Rick Perry being booed for his anti-enforcement stand on immigration. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants such as the 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso, where President Barack Obama recently bashed immigration enforcement! For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read the very interesting book shown HERE!
And Remember when contacting public officials to please be firm but respectful. Any over the top messages could result in law enforcement action against you. Just let these politicians know that you are aware of what they have done and that you intend to remove them from office in the 2012 elections.
Phone Judiciary Comm. to pass E-Verify this Thursday

It is finally happening! A mandatory E-Verify bill is moving through committee. We can see this into law THIS FALL -- if we push hard enough.

Legislation is finally moving through committee (a) to mandate E-Verify nationally, (b) to take away the ability of illegal aliens to use stolen identities to steal American jobs, (c) and to begin opening up hundreds of thousands of construction, manufacturing and service jobs for unemployed Americans.
A few minutes ago, the "mark-up" (the process of considering amendments and voting out the bill) was announced to start Thursday morning.
Now is the time to pour every bit of activism you can give to helping Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary understand why they must pass this bill.
H.R. 2885
New Bill Number for Lamar Smith's "Legal Workforce Act"
Since Rep. Smith (R-Texas) introduced this bill early in the year (as bill number H.R. 2164), he has gotten a lot of feedback and made enough changes to decide to re-introduce the bill under a different number.
INCLUDES A NEW PROVISION TO HELP STATE AND LOCAL ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS
All the basic elements that we've described in the past are still in the bill (despite huge efforts by powerful forces to water it down).
But this bill has a wonderful addition.
The bill creates an office within ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whose sole purpose is to respond to -- and investigate -- state and local governmental agency complaints about businesses hiring and/or employing illegal immigrants.
This new office is required to respond within five business days of the filing of the complaint.
Attorneys General, prosecutors and other state and local officials who believe they see a pattern of a business employing illegal aliens will have a direct line to ICE with a guarantee of rapid response. As these complaints will be a matter of public record, failure of ICE to obey the law will provide direct evidence for congressional hearings into Administration misfeasance.
Fortunately, another office of this type that has been operating as a complaint desk on another immigration matter has a reported high degree of complaince by the feds and satisfaction by state and local officials.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) is the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Major forces have attempted to get him to keep postponing the moving of this bill. We had campaigned hard to get a vote in committee before the August recess. We are ecstatic that Chairman Smith has made this bill such a priority and is moving this so soon after Labor Day.
