NumbersUSA Alert!!
Ask State Affairs Committee to Support Sen. Jorgenson’s Real E-Verify Bill, Not Toothless Copycats
This is a special message for NumbersUSA members in Idaho.
Dear Idaho activist,
State Sen. Jorgenson has introduced legislation (S 1303) that would help prevent citizens from having to compete with illegal aliens for jobs. The Senate State Affairs Committee will consider his bill very soon, along with a copycat bill that will not diminish illegal labor.

The alternative supported by the Dairyman’s Association is S 1271, which is sponsored by Sen. Curt McKenzie, the Chairman of the State Affairs Committee. The bill would make it illegal to produce false identification when applying for employment, and would penalize employers for knowingly hiring employees that produce false documents at the time of employment.
