In July, the U.S. Senate considered numerous amendments to the DHS Appropriations bill, H.R. 2892. Fortunately, four positive immigration-related amendments were passed! They are:
The Sessions amendment to permanently reauthorize E-Verify and mandate its use by all government contractors and subcontractors;
The DeMint amendment to force DHS to complete the 700 miles of border fencing which has already been approved and funded;
