Thread: Pro-Amnesty lobby is pushing hard against E-Verify.

On today's Univision news broadcast, Congressman Xavier Becerra (CA) said that he will do everything possible so that the Senate version of the Stimulus plan does NOT have the E-Verify amendment attached.

Another pro-illegal activist told Univision that what the public can do is call their senators and tell them not to support the E-Verify program.

WE MUST COUNTER THEM!

Lets start filling their voice machines with angry calls about the number of jobs being lost, and demand that they SUPPORT the E-verfy amendment. During a recesion, our government should make it a priority that those jobs be given to citizens.

Just left a message for Gillibrand but Schumers phone just keeps ringing. I'll have to try him again during the week.

House E-Verify Victory Raises Question of Whether Illegal-Worker Supporters Willing to Fight in a Roll Call Vote

By Roy Beck, Thursday, January 29, 2009, 12:29 AM

Despite frantic behind-the-scenes lobbying, the massive pro-illegal-worker coalition did not force a vote on the U.S. House floor Wednesday to strip from the Stimulus bill two strong new E-Verify provisions. That means we won this first round decisively. (See story)

But our NumbersUSA Hill Team has heard a number of indications of preparations for closed-door killings of these provisions in the Senate or in a joint congressional/White House conference committee.

Your job as a mobilized grassroots force of citizens is to force this fight into the open to find out which Senators (and President) will insist on the right of unscrupulous governments and businesses to hire illegal foreign workers.

We must either win the E-Verify language or, if we losse this time, at least have forced a public roll-call vote so the villians are clearly identified for the voters.

Thanks for the heads up LE.

FYI, I've been calling this am (Sat.), many of the senators voice mail boxes are full. The Capitol operator advised that there was a high call volume yesterday (Fri.), it's been crazy, and the voice mail boxes were not cleared out.

I would still try some anyway, but at least go to your Numbers corkboard and fax.
