Urge your U.S. Representative to Cosponsor National E-Verify Legislation

An urgent post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ about the U.S. House of Representatives proposing a national E-Verify bill, which is needed since states like California are rejecting any immigration enforcement! This follows this post about Presidential Candidates Perry and Huntsman being challenged about their lack of enforcement against 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.

Urge your U.S. Representative to Cosponsor National E-Verify Legislation

Rep. Lamar Smith has introduced legislation that would require all businesses in the United States to use the E-Verify employment verification system. In order to ensure that DHS has enough time to ramp up its resources and get the E-Verify ready for mandatory use, the bill allows the DHS Secretary a one-time six month extension of the implementation deadlines if the Secretary certifies that the system will not be ready within six months of enactment (the original deadline).






In addition, In order to assist in the protection of critical infrastructure sites, the bill allows the DHS Secretary to require an entity responsible for the protection of a critical infrastructure site, to use E-Verify and the bill creates an office within ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whose sole purpose is to respond to (within five business days of the complaint), and investigate, state and local governmental agency complaints about businesses hiring and/or employing illegal immigrants.





Among its other provisions, H.R. 2885 would:







•Phase in E-Verify over three years, starting with the largest companies first.



•Require the Social Security Administration (SSA) to target illegal aliens using fake social security numbers by sending out “no match” letters to employers if the name and social security number of a current employee do not match. Requires the employer to check those employees through E-Verify after receiving a “no match” letter.



•Require SSA to send a yearly notification to each owner of a social security number that has multiple employers reporting income to that number indicating that the number may have been stolen and is being used by illegal aliens. Requires employers to run through E-Verify those employees who are likely to have stolen the number from the legitimate owner.



•Establish a phone verification system as an alternative to using the electronic system.



•Require the use of E-Verify for those contracted at day labor sites and other referral or recruitment services.



•Protect employers who use the system in good faith from liability if the system makes an error on eligibility.



•Protect states’ and localities’ authority to revoke business licenses of employers who fail to use E-Verify as required by this Act.



•Significantly increases the penalties for employers who refuse to use the system, or who intentionally try to game it. The fines levied can be up to $25,000 per unauthorized worker and a minimum one-year prison sentence may be imposed on an employer who engages in a “pattern or practice” of violations.



•Require SSA to lock the use of social security numbers when it is being used by someone other than the rightful owner, when the owner has violated immigration laws and been ordered to leave the country, or when the owner’s temporary visa has expired.





Please send your U.S. Representative a fax and urge him/her to support H.R. 2885, the Legal Workforce Act.
