Great Senate E-Verify Amendments Killed by R-O-P-E Behind Closed Doors



By Roy Beck, Thursday, October 15, 2009, 2:00 PM EDT

This is what I just said in a CNN interview about what Congress has done this week on E-Verify (the top federal leaders of our country once again spit in the eye of jobless Americans). . .

Last summer with tremendous pressure from NumbersUSA activists, the Senate passed several great amendments to the Homeland Security spending bill that would greatly reduce illegal immigration.

But as we had warned and as we learned this past week, the R-O-P-E power bloc strangled these sensible measures behind closed doors. They killed the amendments from appearing in the final Homeland Security "conference committee" bill that was just passed by the House and now goes to the Senate with no chance of amendment.

R-O-P-E (Reid-Obama-Pelosi-Emmanuel) once again caved in to the open-borders lobby and:

* killed the Senate's permanent authorization of the E-Verify program
* killed the Senate's mandate to beef up and complete a lot more Mexican border fence
* killed the Senate-passed ability of businesses to run their existing employees through E-Verify to weed out illegal aliens

R-O-P-E had the power to do that because Democratic Senators and Democratic Representatives give them the power to decide virtually everything once a Conference Committee is put in charge of ironing out differences between a House and Senate bill. The Senate bill had the good stuff in it. The House bill had none of it. Once R-O-P-E decides what the compromise bill is to be, it goes back to both chambers for a vote in which amnendments are not allowed.

3-YEAR E-VERIFY EXTENSION IS OUR VICTORY AND A DEFEAT FOR AMNESTY EFFORT

One very good thing survived the R-O-P-E treatment: The compromise bill includes a 3-year re-authorization of the E-Verify system.

For more than a year, pro-amnesty forces in Congress have kept the E-Verify program on short life-support of only a few months at a time.

Sen. Menendez (D-N.J.) in particular has wanted to threaten ending E-Verify unless it was included with an amnesty.

R-O-P-E had gone along with this stringing-along strategy.

The fact that R-O-P-E instead put a three-year extension into the bill has to be taken as a great victory for all of you who have faxed and phoned so hard in support of E-Verify for the past year.

With no chance now of E-Verify dying in any minute, the pro-amnesty forces no longer can try to use it as a bargaining chip. States, counties, cities and businesses can now be quite confident that they can set policy based on the E-Verify program being around.

E-Verify will next come up for re-authorization two months before the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. Do you think, they will be wanting to use that as a bargaining chip for an amnesty vote at that time!

The program is safe.

Congratulations to all of you.

R-O-P-E'S BIGGEST SLAP IN FACE IS ON RESPONSIBLE BUSINESSES (and the U.S. workers they would like to hire)

I think the meanest and most irrational action of R-O-P-E's killing so many Senate immigration desires was its refusal to allow businesses to voluntarily run their existing workers through E-Verify.

The pro-illegal-worker lobby since 1996 has succeeded in making it AGAINST THE LAW for a business to use E-Verify to discover illegal workers on its payroll.

Outrageous, right? But that is the law.

Businesses are allowed only to use E-Verify for new hires. So, you can have a business that was run carelessly or criminally previously and filled the payroll with illegal workers. Then, it gets new management or gets in trouble with the law. For whatever reason, the business decides to clean up its act and start using E-Verify. Federal law requires that business to continue employing all of its illegal workers! That is why you sometimes hear of an ICE raid on a business that uses E-Verify but still has hundreds of illegal workers caught up in the raid.

Businesses are crying out for the ability to get rid of their illegal workers.

The Senate wisely decided last summer that they should be allowed.

But R-O-P-E decided that the irrational law should continue. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of unemployed Americans would have gotten jobs if employers had been allowed over the next few months to run their existing workforce through E-Verify and fire their illegal foreign workers.

R-O-P-E to jobless American workers: TOUGH LUCK.

ROPE = EVIL

Wake up Nevada, get Reid out of the US Senate in 2010.

Wake Up San Francisco, get Pelosi out of the US House of Representative in 2010.

Wake Up Arizona, get McCain out of the US Senate in 2010.

Wake Up South Carolina, get Graham out of the US Senate in 2014 (Ugh).

Wake Up America, get Congress stacked with representative and senators whom you know to the best of your ability to know have their loyalty placed first, foremost and always to the American People and American Workers and have a track record to back it up, which means you have to dig for the truth on all these candidates and incumbents because they're a sneaky bunch of lizards.
