ALERT! Send a Labor Day message to Congress.
Honor workers by protecting American jobs!

For most politicians, Labor Day means another chance to pose in front of the television cameras, making a stock speech about the great and historical achievements of American workers and why we should honor them with this holiday. Back in Washington this year, a different story is being told.

The unemployment rate jumped to 9.7 percent in August, the highest jobless rate since in over 26 years, and the number of unemployed job hunters grew to 14.9 million. Yet the federal government issued 1.5 million permanent and temporary work visas over the past year, and 8 million illegal aliens currently hold jobs that could be filled by American workers.

There are bills in Congress that would strengthen protection for American workers:

The SAVE Act, HR 3308/S 1505 would phase in a requirement for every employer to use E-Verify for every employee. It would also increase border security and interior enforcement.

S 887 would require companies to prove that the hiring of an H-1B foreign worker does not displace an American worker. The bill also includes L-1 visas for foreigners transferring from their home offices to U.S. facilities.

Please use the occasion of Labor Day to remind Congress how to show respect for American workers by protecting them from the unfair business practices of excessive and illegal immigration.
