Only 30 Signatures to Go! [Mark Krikorian]

The consensus is that no immigration legislation will make progress during the remainder of this Congress, and that may be true. But if anything will move, it's Heath Shuler's SAVE Act, phasing in mandatory electronic verification of new hires' legal status. It just got one step closer with Rep. Mark Souder becoming the 188th member to sign a discharge petition, which would force leadership to bring it up for a floor vote; it needs the signatures of a majority of House members (i.e., 21 to succeed, so there are 30 signatures to go. The list of those who've signed the discharge petition is here, the list of those who haven't is here, and a detailed analysis of the bill is here (pdf).
