Thread: NumbersUSA:Please phone to help pass E-Verify TODAY!!

DEAR FRIENDS,

After all the bad news that NumbersUSA's Jim Robb emailed you yesterday about E-Verify, I can tell you this morning that we have a chance to counteract it.

For those of you who read this Alert this morning, you need to phone the people listed below immediately at 202-224-3121. (If you are reading this after Friday noon, check the NumbersUSA home page to see if the action has already been taken, before you make the calls.)

Today, the House Appropriations Committee will consider the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill for 2010. This bill already contains language that would extend the E-Verify program for two years.

However, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) will submit an amendment to the bill that would require government subcontractors to use the E-Verify program and weed out illegal aliens from their payroll.

You can read on our home page how the Obama Administration has plans today or early next week to gut the 2008 Executive Order that would require government contractors to run all their employees through E-Verify. But while the new Obama order would bow to the wishes of the greedy Big Business lobby, Rep. Kingston's amendment would force the Administration to keep illegal foreign workers out of taxpayer-supported jobs.

If one of the House Appropriations Committee members is from your state, you will find a phone note with talking points on your Action Buffet corkboard.

Otherwise, call the Members below who are from the smallest states that are near yours.

Tell them that 14 million unemployed Americans would like to have the jobs that illegal aliens currently hold with government contractors. And that you expect the Representative to vote for the Kingston amendment to open up these jobs to unemployed Americans.

Subject: Obama Stalls E-Verify Again. Act Now to Push it Through the House

Date: 6/12/2009 8:41:47 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time

Dear Friend,

Once again, Obama is playing games with American workers by delaying the implementation of E-Verify to keep businesses from hiring illegal aliens. Last year, President Bush issued an executive order requiring federal contractors to use E-Verify. Obama has repeatedly stalled the implementation of the order. He now delayed it for the fourth time! He didn't even give an excuse for this betrayal. For all his talk about American jobs, it's clear that he has no intention of doing anything about protecting them.

Obama isn't going to protect the jobs, but even with the Democrats in charge, Congress might do the right thing if we give them enough pressure. We won in the House and came within two votes in the Senate earlier this year. We can win this! Right now, the House is voting on a two year extension of E-Verify, and Rep. Jack Kingston introduced an amendment to make all federal contractors use the system to make sure they hire legal American workers.

Act now! Call your congressman. [click here for the direct lines to The House or call the Capital Switchboard toll free at 1 (866) 220-0044 and ask for your Representative]

Tell him that if the government is spending trillions of your tax dollars to create jobs for Americans, then those jobs better go to Americans. Tell him that with 9.1 percent unemployment it is unconscionable to hire illegal aliens, and you are sick and tired of them delaying and playing games with our jobs while American citizens are suffering.

Let's keep the pressure on, and thanks for all your doing!

H.R.1105

Rep. Jack Kingston and Rep. Ken Calvart proposed two separate E-Verify amendments to the House Appropriations bill for FY2010, but both amendments failed earlier today. The Kingston amendment would have required government contractors to run all employees and new hires through E-Verify.

Rep. Kingston's amendment would have required all federal contractors to verify all employees and new hires through the E-Verify system. The amendment would have countered a new executive order that the Administration is expected to announce today that weakens the 2008 executive order making requiring all government contractors to use E-Verify.

Rep. Calvart's amendment would have made E-Verify permanent in the House Appropriations bill, but it received resistance from, most notably, Rep. David Price who argued that the E-Verify will be addressed during a larger immigration reform debate.

"Rep. David Price who argued that the E-Verify will be addressed during a larger immigration reform debate"

Price is the Democrat Congressional leader who was responsible for organizing and announcing as an accomplished fact the gutting of funding for ICE workplace raids and 287(g) local law enforcement program, transferring the focus and funding at DHS instead to apprehension and deportation of criminal aliens.

It survived the committee!
