Rep. Heath Shuler has again introduced the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement Act to combat the costly dilemma of illegal immigration.

It happens to be a reasonable and needed start at the bigger issue of immigration reform. Because President Obama and Congress are unlikely to achieve anything bigger, Congress should pass Shuler’s bill.

The bill would require employers to verify citizenship status through a national database, increase border patrol agents and add immigration judges and detention facilities.

Law-abiding citizens and legal immigrants have nothing to fear from a national database, called E-Verify, but illegal immigrants do. Illegal immigration costs the federal government as well as state and local governments billions of dollars each year.

There are some concerns over errors with the database. But it’s working fine for some — more than 100,000 employers voluntarily use E-Verify.

It’s time to move forward and get the ball rolling.

NO

If President Obama is having a tough time passing health care reform legislation, he, as they say, “ain’t seen nothin’ yet.â€

No President Obama should NOT push for immigration reform. We should Enforce our Immigration Laws and Secure our National Borders! Polls indicate that the vast majority of United States Citizens want our Immigration Laws Enforced and our National Borders Secured. Politicians without their own or their Elitist Political “Contributor’sâ€
