Blue Dog Democrats and House Republicans Push Enforcement Only Immigration Bill

Call Your Representative! Tell Them to Reject the Discharge Petition to the Shuler- Tancredo SAVE Act!

Washington, DC.-- LULAC councils and friends are strongly urged to call their representative now and demand that their congressman reject signing a discharge petition which would force the deportation-only immigration bill directly to the House floor.

Led by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC), Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-CA), and Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act (H.R. 408 undercuts the democratic committee voting process and would force 6 million employers to verify the work status of all US employees within only four years. The E-verification system has proven to be inconsistent and lacks any precautionary safeguards to prevent American workers from unfair terminations. Not only have these egregious provisions proven to be ineffectual, but in addition, this bill does nothing to address the millions of people that are undocumented. Rather, Shuler-Tancredo attempts to strip away civil liberties by confiscating private property to build additional fencing along the border, as well as by targeting minors and their parents through the authorization of a new family detention center.

[b]House Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats have already started to circumvent the committee process. This week, Rep. Thelma Drake (R-VA) filed a discharge petition for the SAVE Act. If 217 signatures are gathered, the deportation-only bill will be brought directly to the House Floor via a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ vote. [/b]

What Can You Do?

Make your voice heard! Call your Congressman! A deportation only bill falls woefully short of resolving our immigration problems. An immigration bill must include a comprehensive approach that deals with the undocumented and not just a half baked enforcement-only package.

Click here to tell your representative to support the committee process and oppose the discharge petition of the Shuler-Tancredo SAVE Act.

What is LULAC talking about?? Of course it addresses "the millions of people that are undocumented!!!" It is saying: "Go home. You are not wanted here. America is for Americans only!" Sheesh.

It's not deportation is it, isn't it self deportation by stopping jobs with E-Verification. Yes it's Attrition Through Enforcement.
Recent Raids Work, Open Up Jobs for Americans

************************************************** *****
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a series of raids on Swift and Company meat packing plants in six states and arrested almost 1,300 illegal aliens towards the end of 2006, ane more recently in July 2007. We learned three very important things from these raids:
Americans take the jobs illegal aliens leave behind : The day after the raids took place, the media reported that plenty of legal workers lined up to apply for the jobs left vacant by the illegal aliens who fled or were arrested.
Identity fraud and illegal immigration are connected : Hundreds of the illegal aliens who were arrested are suspected of using the name and SSN of an American citizen. You can fight illegal immigration by fighting identity fraud.
Attrition Through enforcement works: Over 400 illegal aliens skipped town after Swift dropped hints about ICE's suspicions. Once the message gets out that there aren’t any jobs for illegal aliens, they leave.

ILLEGAL ALIENS DONT HAVE A VOICE. They dont have a congressman representing them. Our congressmen are representing AMERICANS- NOT illegal aliens.

DEPORTATION IS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. We already have "enforcement only bills" already on the books. WE SHOULD BE ENFORCING THESE BILLS. Illegal immigrants DO NOT DESERVE ANYTHING MORE.

80% of the American people DO NOT WANT "comprehensive immigration reforms" that would include "earned citizenship", "amnesty", the "Dream Act", "pathways to citizenship" or any other privileges for "undocumented/illegal aliens".

Ex_OC: YOu are right on the money....! The SAVE Act does address the illegal aliens currently squatting in our country....it denies them jobs, and benefits the very magnets that have lured them here ...and will force them to return on their own (for the most part) at their own expense (not ours!).

LULAC and LA RAZA and the Mexican Consulates would do the right thing by counseling the IA's to start getting their affairs and documents in order and make plans to self-repatriate as soon as possible before they lose their jobs or are involuntarily deported. THat would be the most sensible, humane thing to do. U.S. citizen kids need to go home with their families...they can come back anytime they want later.
