The Secure America with Verification and Enforcement Act

Representative Heath Shuler (D-NC) and Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) have reintroduced the SAVE Act, an important, bi-partisan attempt to remedy our immigration crisis. The Secure America with Verification and Enforcement Act, HR 2000, focuses on the heart of the problem—the jobs that attract illegal immigrants.

Unlike "comprehensive" immigration bills that offer some gift-wrapping around an amnesty package, this far-reaching bill starts with the heart of the problem—the jobs that attract illegal immigrants. It would phase in a requirement for every employer to use the E-Verify system on all employees, not just new hires. It would also increase border security and interior enforcement, and provide additional federal district judges to expedite the deportation of illegal aliens.

It would enhance protection for parks and wildlife refuges in our sensitive borderlands by requiring the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Homeland Security to develop a border protection strategy and by authorizing additional law enforcement officers for the Fish and Wildlife Service and for the National Park Service.
