Thread: E-verify..Keep the pressure on the Senate

Keep Pressure on Senate to Pass E-Verify Reauthorization; Continuing Resolution May Provide Short-Term E-Verify Extension
Updated Wednesday, September 24, 2008, Please call your Senator todayCapitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121
The House will vote on a continuing resolution today -- a measure designed to keep the Federal government running after Oct. 1 -- that may include language to extend the E-Verify program through March 6, 2009. An early draft of the measure contained such a short-term extension, but it is not known if this language is included in the measure the House will consider today. As such, please continue to contact your Senator through the Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask him/her to pressure Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to allow a vote H.R. 6633 -- the House-passed E-Verify reauthorization bill -- this week.
A continuing resolution must be passed before October 1 – the beginning of Federal fiscal year 2009 -- in order to keep the government running because Congress has not passed any fiscal year 2009 spending bills for Federal agencies thus far. If House leaders included a short-term extension in this must-pass measure, it may be an attempt to take the issue off Congress' plate. This would be a bittersweet development.
If the extension language is included in the final measure Congress passes, we will at least know that the E-Verify program, which has done so much already to turn off the illegal-alien jobs magnet, will survive for several months. However, this also would necessitate fighting the reauthorization battle all over again in March with a new President in the White House who may or may not support the program.
The best outcome continues to be Senate passage of H.R. 6633, the House-passed E-Verify reauthorization bill. There are two ways in which Majority Leader Reid could facilitate a vote on the bill:
1. Ignore the hold Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) has placed on H.R. 6633, and allow a cloture vote on the Senate floor. If he does this, there easily will enough votes necessary to stop Menendez' filibuster and enable passage H.R. 6633; or
2. Avoid a vote altogether by talking to Menendez privately, persuading him that what he is doing is threatening the reputation of the Democratic Party just before elections and get him to withdraw his "hold" on H.R. 6633. Reid could then bring H.R. 6633 to the floor for a unanimous consent vote.
Either way, the American worker and public wins.
It is particularly important to put pressure on Democratic Senators to put an end to Menendez' grandstanding. If you call Republican Senators, please thank them for standing firm and ask them to not flinch.

Called Casey's Harrisburg office. DC office goes straight to voicemail.
Coincidently, 23 illegal aliens were arrested at a business in
Taylor, PA, Casey's home backyard. I brought this little tidbit to the staffer's attention and firmly told him that situations like this would not occur and only legal US citizens would be working in a time of high unemployment.
